That was painful. I was pretty angry when my DVR caught up and I couldn't fast forward through non-play time anymore. I just wanted it to end.

Why are people giving Garcon grief over dropping a pass? I only saw one drop on that bunk "defenseless receiver" play and that was good defensive play, not bad receiver play. Did I miss another?

Come on fans one game does not make a season, we were out coached, out played on the offensive line, and the defense needs to practice,corners need to get away from soft coverage, line backers need to play closer to the line. Offense needs to move forward and not step back, which as you all saw the pocket collapse. These are basic coaching adjustment. Collins will be fine once he is settled in, Painter lacks the experience to help. Management needs coaching help to play with the players that were chosen. Good or bad , now we need to make the proper adjustment. Now to the coach it is time to take a man up stance, pep talks pats on the back you know basic moral building not silence. Come on coach man up, yell a little let them know you care.

Yea, we were only out-played in coaching, special teams, passing offense, rushing offense, defense, time of possession, penalties... I'll think of more later :P.

I think Houston actually had more turnovers, but whatever.

If you thought it was rough on the tube you should have been at Reliant Stadium. The game coverage on TV did little to show the DISCONNECT between Collins and the rest of the team. At least Painter was up and down the sidelines interacting and not checked out. Collins needs to tune in and actually join the team. Any punk off the street can wear a colts uniform, maybe a punk off the streets would give a dang and actually TRY! Still gotta back the blue though. Here's to a frontal lobotomy for Collins-maybe he'll wanna be on our side next week. :cheer:

    • Thats easy. Having great coverage. If noone is open the rush will get there.    Or, I wish we blitzed more like Spaignola does as QB's are considerably less accurate under duress.    The best offenses have QB's that get rid of the ball quickly which negates to a degree the pass rush.  Scholars here are buzzing madly about pressures. Joey Bosa had a crazy number of pressures but how many resulted in incompletions? He had 2 more sacks than Kwity and played roughly 175 more snaps.  Detroit's Hutchinson, in their playoff loss, had no pressures, no sacks, and 1 tackle as I recall. And a heckuva player. Truth is you better have really good ability at both, including highly intelligent fast players in the back seven.
    • Any news on the attempted talks with Blackmon?   Worst case scenario:  we don't sign Blackmon, or any other safety FA, miss out on what few guys there are in this very non-deep safety draft, and wind up going into the season with Cross and Thomas as our best two guys.  Ewwww.
    • My follow up is about what you think is the most cost-efficient way to acquire the needed players to make the defense work as designed.    As to your point about risk, I guess... If you think specific DE prospects just aren't that good, that's one thing. I'm definitely against propping up a prospect just because he plays a position of perceived need. But I would think that if the Colts take a DE at #15, they see him as a potential game changing pass rusher, and the expectation is for him to exceed what the guys on the roster have shown so far. No one can know for sure, but that's the nature of the draft.   At corner, I just think that a fundamental reason why the Colts prefer their zone heavy scheme is because it's easier to find corners who can excel at zone coverage. So there's less of a premium on the position in this scheme, and that's by design. I also don't think the top 4-5 corners in this class fit Ballard's preferred profile. (Side point: This is not conventional thinking, but I think the order of importance in this defense is 3T, Edge, Will, FS, then CB. I think the objective is to take away big plays, funnel routes to the middle, and have rangy playmakers at Will and FS who can create turnovers. I'm not saying that's how I would build a defense, but I think that's the intention. Which also influences my thinking on Ballard's preferences in the draft.)    The scheme element doesn't necessarily apply at WR, but I think the value at WR favors taking one on Day 2, and I think Ballard's appetite for second round WRs is well established. I'd be open to drafting a WR at #15, but I don't think the Colts will do it.   So if I was an oddsmaker, I'd favor the Colts going DE or DT at #15, just based on how I think the top of the draft will fall, and the players available. I think most fans prefer corner or WR, mostly because of perceived need, but I don't see that happening. Nothing would shock me, though.
    • Ballard on Free Agency:   “No doubt we looked into free agency in totality,” Ballard said. “I mean, we looked at everybody. It kind of worked out where it ended up being a lot of our own guys, which are all good players.”
    • I know you're joking, but I hope they do sign an older vet for a year.  They young guys have so little experience, they need guidance.  I was hoping it would have been GIlly or Nelson but there's no noise there.  I think Gilmore may be headed back to Carolina.   I'd rather sign a veteran than spend the first pick on a CB.  It's a crap shoot and we haven't had the best luck.  JuJu has yet to prove himself.     I'm not buying the hype on Mitchell until he starts facing NFL talent.  The MAC isn't exactly a hotbed for WRs.
