The Indianapolis Colts are at a critical juncture just two games into the season.

The Colts were blanked for the third time in the past five seasons, this time by the Jacksonville Jags, who will face the Colts in Week 3.

The Colts were outgained 331 to 218 and allowed 21 first downs. The quarterback was sacked five times and threw three picks for the first time in his career.

The Colts defensive tackle said the s--- was terrible. We whooped. We have to grow from this tomorrow.

The return of seven Pro Bowl selections helped bolster the discussion about having Super Bowl goals for the Colts.

Ryan had high expectations. You don't think you're going to be 0-1? The competitor doesn't think that way. Being realistic about where we are is important. It needs to be brutally honest.

The Colts' offense took a huge step back after exceeding 500 yards of production in a tie with the Houston Texans.

They were unable to run the ball, with Jonathan Taylor holding to 54 yards on nine carries, including 4 yards on five carries in the first half. The Colts finished with 54 rushing yards, their lowest total in nearly a year.

Frank Reich said that they weren't productive in the first half. We couldn't run the ball on first and second down and we couldn't complete the pass. In the first half, every run was less than two yards. We are effective on first and second down when we are humming.

Can the Colts make a comeback? Reich needs to convince his team that there is a chance of a reversal.

Reich said that the distance is not that far. The players and coaches are capable of doing it. I'm okay with that because it doesn't play in the outside world. We'll both take our medicine, and we'll just keep doing what we're doing.
