What a Talent Gap / No excuse for this performance (merge)

I expected us to lose. Not by this much though but a either way I expected us to lose. Cowboys fighting for playoff we are in. It's a preseason game for us. That's the way I see it. And I'm kind of glad we lost. I'm still mad at philly for that non holding call that cost us the game at home. Let's regroup and focus on playoffs now

Manning's Colts had worse games since that Jets game.. but staying on topic, we have lost to good teams this year and that is a concern. But we have proven we can beat them as we did last year.. I'm not giving up on my team.

 

Mathis was the difference maker last year.  His loss cannot be underestimated.  He allowed the D to do a lot more than it can now with so many average players.

 

I knew the D was bad, horrible against really good teams.

 

I didn't think the same could be said about the O.  But after the last three games I'm beginning to wonder.

It's hard to tell if we have a talent gap.  We certainly have a performance problem, but that may be due to coaches not preparing second and third string players - players we should be actively developing - adequately.  When these players are needed in the game -- we're toast.  Just having inexperienced players sitting on the bench isn't their problem, it's a coaching problem. Our coaching is not only terrible, it's consistently terrible.

 

This poor performance and lack of preparation is on the coaches - all of them. It's not like this is an unknown situation for the Colts, its a constant.  Even Andrew Luck needs good coaching and it's obvious he's not getting it. Nor is the O-Line, or the defense. That needs to be fixed and quickly (and completely).

We have a talent gap.. we have the most rookies and udfa in the league.. we have a staff is will not make a splash or pay big money in free agency

 

Sometimes I think our rookies and UDFA that are second and third string, would do a better job than the high paid FA's that are starting.

No matter what anyone says about injuries, nothing to play for or whatever excuse you want to make there is absolutely no excuse for Today's performance. Completely atrocious. There is no way that this team prepared in any professional way for this game. Cowboys could have put up 100 points if they had wanted to. This is without a doubt the worst colts game I've seen in 20 years. Maybe ever.

 

They looked worse than any game that was played with Curtis Painter at QB. Embarrassing is the only word I can think of to describe it.

So many, where do I start

Sergio > Landry

Boom & Tipton > Trent Richardson

Moncrief, Whalen, Lenz > Hakeem Nicks

AQ Shipley > Harrison

Price > Gordy

Holmes > Thornton & Reitz

    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
    • Sir, I was just trying to help you out. No good deed goes unpunished! 
    • Not the least bit surprised to hear from you at this moment.   You see me in an uncomfortable conversation (with a moderator no less) and you seize the moment to take a shot at me.  And you try to act like you’re giving me a sincere explanation of what you’re doing.   Like you have an ounce of credibility with me.      This is not the first time you’ve done this.  While I may not be surprised, I’m certainly disappointed.   
    • Things have now gone from bad to worse.     After I explained myself, I was kind of hoping you’d simply come back with “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you,  may bad.”  And we’d be done with this.  It would be over.      But instead, you double down on the roommate issue and follow up by questioning everything I said by breaking down some of my comments and what you think I really meant by them.     In other words, you’re telling me my motive, my meaning, as if you know my meaning better than I do.    It’s interesting to me…. I was recently told there’s an unofficial moderator policy:  don’t attack the poster, attack the argument.    Well, I don’t see that here.  You attacked me personally the first time and instead of a simple apology, you’ve double downed on a bad hand by attacking me personally AGAIN.      Why you’re comfortable telling me you know my meaning , my intention, better than I do is mystifying to me.  And frankly, I think you’re comfortable doing this because one of us is a moderator, and it certainly is NOT me.     I’ll say it again: you misunderstood my meaning, and intention,  the first time, and you’ve misunderstood me even worse the second time.   As I said before, I’m happy to withdraw and apologize for “go figure”, but the negative inference was not my intention.  Poorly phrased, I give you (in two posts now).   I don’t know what else to say…. I’m hoping this brings this very unfortunate exchange to an end.       
    • I don't think Worthy is a good fit for Richardson's skill set. Think tall with a large catch radius for Richardson to be successful. I don't think u pair a smurf wr with a qb who may have accuracy issues. That's just me
