What a joke.  This game is unwatchable.  Poor fans in Germany watching this.  If it wasn’t the Colts playing I would find something else to do.

 

Compared to most Iowa games, this game is downright riveting.

True, but it's also just a very European thing. It often happens handball games and sometimes in soccer as well.

 

Yeah soccer crowds chant and sing pretty much the whole match.

Whole stadium singing along to Neil Diamond. 

 

Sweet Caroline has some sort of history with their culture.  I know they always sing it during Oktoberfest.

The annoying thing about the Colts playing in Germany is that my Premier league team is playing at 11:30 and I will likely be flipping between the 2, or watching one on a tablet and another on TV.

Germans see the Patriots as a jab at England, thats why they fans of the team.  Definitely more of a home crowd for them

 

Seems a stretch.  More likely their run of success had more to do with it.

Moss really took that contract personally 

 

Give Taylor a new contract to motivate Moss.  4D chess from Ballard.

I have to think that AR's shoulder is at the very least dislocated.

[2023 Week#5, Titans @ Colts, Sunday, October 8th, 1:00 PM EDT]

Well %

[2023 Week#5, Titans @ Colts, Sunday, October 8th, 1:00 PM EDT]

I have to say I have been impressed with AR's improving capabilities in the pocket.  

 

Everyone knew he could run, but if he can pass from the pocket too he could be great.

[The Colts and star RB Jonathan Taylor have agreed to terms on a 3-year contract extension]

I am probably in the minority but I think this was a bad contract.  RB's are a dime a dozen and their production is affected more by the OL than anything else.

 

No reason to pay one more than an average place kicker.

Minshew is good enough to hold this game and win, especially if we get our running game going.

 

Problem is IMO this season is about AR getting reps and experience.  

 

Winning IMO isn't that important other than as an indication of AR's improvement.

Yes on that second TD run

 

That was a while ago, he is just noticing now?

[2023 Week #2: Colts @ Texans, September 17, 2023, 1 PM ET]

Did AR even take a hit?

[2023 Week #2: Colts @ Texans, September 17, 2023, 1 PM ET]

Oh seriously?

[2023 Week #2: Colts @ Texans, September 17, 2023, 1 PM ET]

Stroud always seems one step ahead of our DL.

Ballard, if you don’t spend money to go get this QB some weapons I will personally call for your head.

 

Granson has to catch that.

 

I am less worried about the receivers and more worried about the run game.  

 

A star WR wouldn't hurt but if we can get some OL improvements and some better backs I think it would help more.

[2023 Week #2: Colts @ Texans, September 17, 2023, 1 PM ET]

Ehh sucks to give that up.

It'll be Colts ball, was obvious it was loose....  man CJ looks like he already wants to be anywhere else but this stadium

 

I heard them say that he's down a few OL.  If so hopefully we can keep the pressure on him.

[2023 Week #2: Colts @ Texans, September 17, 2023, 1 PM ET]

Looks like a fumble to me.

[2023 Week #2: Colts @ Texans, September 17, 2023, 1 PM ET]

Good initial drive.  Richardson looked great got the ball out of his hands quickly and accurately.

Steichen said he will be fine. I don’t even think trainers were looking at him when he went to bench. He did say he bruised his knee.

 

I think he just pulled him cause at that point the chances of him getting hurt trying to win the game were greater than the odds of him actually winning the game.

[The Current State of the Offensive Line]

Pass protection I thought was solid.  I didn't see them opening up many holes in the run game.

It will be a focus. We should start to see some different things as the season goes on. Yesterday was all about just making completions and building some confidence. As Anthony builds his foundation, we'll start to see him push it down the field more. Mid-range is very tough for rookies to work. It's often something that clicks during the 2nd and 3rd seasons as they are better able to read the defense. 

 

It also occurred to me later that AR always threw those a bit behind the receiver, so the issue could very well be that he is throwing to the spot they would have been in college, but since everyone in the NFL is faster he had to get accustomed to their speed out of the breaks.

 

If it’s just an issue of not being accustomed to the speed of the NFL then it's a very correctable issue.
