What went wrong in Colts' Week 5 loss to Jaguars: Instant Reaction

Colts.com writer and Ring of Honor wide receiver Bill Brooks break down the Colts' Week 5 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, which saw the Colts' defense struggle with six key players out against a Jaguars offense that hadn't found success in 2024 prior to Sunday. The guys also look at why Alec Pierce's explosive start to the season is real and what the loss of Will Fries means to the offensive line and team.

The worst Defense in the NFL. It’s not even close. The Idea that Gus Bradley still has a job is astonishing !!!

[@jeremiahpulse4364]

The colts will never fire him so get used to it they won't even fire him at the end of the year that's why things never change he isn't afraid of losing his job

[@jasonalan45]

Bro I’m not arguing with u but we literally had 6 starters out on defense

[@dabneyoffermein595]

What a pathetic defensive effort. We are the 32nd ranked team in total defense giving up 399.8 yards per game. Shameful Gus, get it together.

[@MichaelWilliamscolt]

He need to be fired. It’s been the same thing for 3 years now.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

@@MichaelWilliamscolt It's so predictable, the bad tackling, bad defensive secondary positioning, finger pointing, and no edge pressure

[@spookshilljoe7376]

Gus will never get it!!!!

[@MrCuchens]

So basically the Qb / offense has to play perfect every time with this Defense Joe gave it his best shot and tied it up

[@jaycru1234]

GUS BRADLEY is holding us back every dam game 😡

[@MichaelWilliamscolt]

Gus Bradley gotta have some dirt on the colts because they refuse to fire this man. In the colts last 6 regular season games someone has had a career day in the opposing team offense

[@MichaelWilliamscolt]

NICO COLINS, JOE MIXION, JOSH JACOBS, ROME ODOZE,CALEB WILLIAMS, JUSTIN FIELDS, TANK BIGSBY, TREVOR LAWERENCE,BRIAN THOMAS, and I’m probably forgetting someone

[@CMDSR]

I seem to remember back to when this coaching staff was hired. A phrase I heard a lot was “we will hold people accountable”. I hope that wasn’t an empty promise.

[@SeanConkright]

Our db got exposed from the lack of pass rush

[@scott6430]

I don’t think our defense is bad. Our scheme is absolutely horrible though. That falls on the coaches. They have to do something different like BLITZING more than 3 freaking times.

[@dewarnbronaugh1396]

made trevor look like the number 1 quaterback.SMH

[@ThunderHorseBn]

The better question is what has gone right in eight seasons under Chris Ballard?

[@MKB64-vd1vi]

The definition of insanity is Chris Ballard and Gus Bradley. They bring the same tired lines and excuses every year and get the same results.

[@Paralyzedable]

my favorite part about gus was when jacksonville was 4th and inches and this dude calls a zone defense LOL

[@gorrakkandleafs4165]

You allow 37 from. 0-4 team. You score 34. Wonder if it’s the defence ?

[@Axl_colts]

I’m guessing the colts are wanting to tank the season since they refuse to fire Bradley. That and starting such a huge project qb with Richardson.

[@QuestingTruck]

The Colts won the time of possession battle because the jags only needed 1 play to score.

[@SuperMeximelt]

Nope, Zaire is right, J.J. Playing with backups is no excuse- there is no “saving grace.”

[@Skoogz_]

Zero and TEN. HOW?!

[@insidioussnip3r36]

Waaaay to many missed tackles

[@ShaneGregory-b4u]

Brooks you would be a better coordinator than gus. Youd make them accountable.

[@jasonkappaone]

This is one of the worst Colts teams I’ve seen in awhile, the injuries are not a excuse, this team is trash period! Chris Ballard and Gus Bradley are to of the biggest idiots in the NFL we won’t win anything that actually matters with those two idiots still here, the Colts will forever be mediocre under Ballard and Bradley… I feel bad for all who believe in this team because this team isn’t going anywhere no time soon under Ballard and Bradley..

[@NickSchouten-m3z]

That bend dont break defense aint working, fire gus bradley

[@MartyCoffey-gi6fe]

soft coverage poor tackling..coaches for colts we got to clean it up.....maybe flush it down..poor coaching poor effort..never any cosequenses

[@GeminiMaddnezz864lyfe]

We was fully healthy week one and 2 and they still lost sorry no excuses

[@FlippyNipps93]

THE WORST DEFENSE IN COLTS HISTORY.

[@edwardjohnson7996]

Fire Gus

[@watcherofthewest8597]

Flacco in 7 quarters has 550 yards, 5 TDs, no INTs. AR has 13 quarters with 650 yards, 3 TDs and 6 INTs. Most importantly, AR has missed 14 of 22 games and has failed to finish 4 of 8 starts. People saying be patient need to realize this kid is never going to be on field long enough for him to be judged. It was a joke of a draft pick and it's not looking good.

[@whatarefriends4]

Sad but true

[@NickSchouten-m3z]

Haterrrrr ar15 gonna be the black Josh Allen

[@watcherofthewest8597]

@@NickSchouten-m3z maybe bro, maybe...but it's a rough start to the career.

[@SeanConkright]

So disappointing and defense was horrible

[@gorrakkandleafs4165]

Worst d in league

[@Joe__________]

This year was a lost cause when they chose tho run it back with that awful DB group and Gus. FIRE BALLARD!

[@kennethriggins5463]

It don't matter AM I am DA only one who doesn't C it ... Anthony richardson iz NOT A NFL QUARTERBACK. JOE FLACCO @39 IZ BETTER THAN A 24 YEAR OLD AR.. PLEASE COLTS FANS KNOW DIS... AND FIRE GUS BRADLEY

[@xcitement5000]

good game all and all. don't feel bad it was close.

[@realizethelies]

A winless team thats average 13 points .. drops 37 and beats us? thats not a good game for the Colts.

[@spookshilljoe7376]

Close to what???
