Name the play: Colts edition

"The play we let Irsay draw up after his weekly meth/Breaking Bad binge"

I know he's not a favorite here, but Doyel's article on the fourth-and-no play is hilarious.

Late in the third quarter. Colts trail 27-21. Fourth-and-3 at their 37. Punt team on the field, McAfee back to punt, and then … what? What on earth? Eight Colts on the line of scrimmage stand up and jog out wide to the right, but they don’t know where to line up. Half of them are on the line of scrimmage. Half are behind them. McAfee is 15 yards back. Receiver Griff Whalen is hunched over at center, safety Colt Anderson is lined up at quarterback, and I’ve never written a dumber sentence than this one.

The Immaculate Perplexion

Nope, that is still the buttfumble, though indy did bring their A game trying to overtake the jets. Also, I enjoyed the penalty even more then, whatever the hell that was. "Illegal formation......... the entire right side". Thought I was watching a sports movie like The Replacements or something there for a second.

I used that play about 50 years ago in electric football. Didn't work then, either.

Participant 9 right fail.

"Inconceivable" - ala Vizzini

And Doyel can't even get it right since all 8 of them were NOT on the line of scrimmage..

Kinda like this?

They were flagged for that, too. Ridiculous desperation call by an overmatched HC AT HOME. I'm sick off everybody tippy toeing all around Pagano's feelings. I'm a cancer survivor too.I don't expect any friggin' cashmere glove treatment when I act like a complete fackin' jerk the entire deflategate episode. He KNOWS that boolshyt was cooked up by HIS organization. If he was this standup "survivor" guy he would have STOOD UP and TOLD THE TRUTH.

Eff him, Grigson, that punk Doyel and...oh yeah...has that mongoloid,Blob Asskrevice extricated himself from Poilian's ass canal yet? C'mon out Bob...get a breath of fresh air you rotten friggin scum of the earth azzole.

I've been struggling with this. To truly capture the insanity, you have to include the fact that the entire team also lined up off the line of scrimmage. It's almost Indyscribable.

Lots of good ones, but I vote for this one. Indyscribable perfectly sums up a play that stumped pretty much everyone with its complete stupidity. Only thing to add, it'd be great if some reference to this being Indy's big Deflategate revenge/rematch thing could be worked in somewhere.

Pagano was "supremely confident" it would work.

THE SPECIAL TEAMS SLIPUP

KRAVITZ: Inspire the Colts? Honestly, they don’t need my help
That said, I would love nothing more than to watch the Colts shock the world (and me) and knock off the Patriots, simply to make life a little more miserable for the insufferable louts who populate New England’s media and social space. Look, I’m human. For eight months, I’ve caught immeasurable crap from New England fans, most of it dumb beyond words, and have read foolish screeds, like a Boston.com piece this week that revisited whether the Colts piped in noise in an Indy game about a million years ago. If they spend the following Monday drowning their sorrows in their Sam Adams, it wouldn’t hurt my feelings in the least.

Too bad , Blobby boy...well, if it's any consolation, I'm going to go and take a nice long steaming dump on that Fathead insert I had made for my commode. Your face, taking a daily dump for the rest of your scumbag life...sorta like symmetry or something, Blob.

When it happened I said to my wife OMG that was the butt punt.

How about we call that play, "A glimpse into the drug addled mind of Jim Irsay".... or simply, "This is your brain on drugs"..

All that was missing were a few of his well endowed oxycontin addicted girlfriends.. complete with ex-husbands all swearing revenge on this azzclown...

Whatever it is, we should stick a gate at the end of it. Dumbgate, ******gate, Methgate, I don't know. But it requires it's own special investigation and eventual suspension.

Perhaps it was supposed to be this failure of a play?
