The Indianapolis Colts (4-6-1) couldn’t come away with the upset at home against the Philadelphia Eagles (9-1), losing 17-16 on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
It was another showing of a strong defense being let down by an offense that simply can’t get out of its own way. Despite scoring a touchdown on the opening drive, the offense gained just 209 total yards on 52 plays for the rest of the game.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to the Week 11 loss:

Disappointment ending. But to be honest, much more fun to watch team than earlier this season. I think this is still an improvement. Penalties were lethal for both teams this game. I still enjoyed the game. Cheers #ColtsNation https://t.co/FJIWlFFYMf

Saying this for Saturday and not for Reich is pretty ridiculous
Because it's true, this team sucks because of Ballard mainly, wonder how many ppl will get fired because of it https://t.co/fa3r7K6a7P

Nick Sirianni takes jab at Colts for firing Frank Reich
“I love Frank Reich. He’s one of the best damn football coaches I’ve ever been around.. you don’t want to know what I think, if he should be here or not, you guys can probably imagine what I really think” pic.twitter.com/kfrUDASCyH

It's not Reich's play-calling and it's not analytics. The offense is *not good* and it continues to hold this team, and a very strong defense, back this season.

Anyone who's blaming the Colts defense for this one didn't watch the game.
How many opportunities did they give the offense to put this game away with a touchdown and instead, got a field goal or nothing.

The Colts gave away this game, man.

The #Colts defense is good enough to win any game and the #Colts offense is bad enough to lose any game
