Opportunity for Cross. Huge opportunity. He made one of the best plays of the season with his Moss-like interception over Pickens head. He blocked a punt for a td against the titans. Keep playing for that spot #20. Dude is 22 years old.

With the Raiders coming here and they have the former Purdue QB playing right now, there could be a lot of fans rooting for the Raiders.....?? Ugggh I hope we can get it together!!
idk too many Indiana-based Purdue fans that aren’t colts fans. And if they are not, they are generally bears fans. They aren’t going to that game. Barely go to their own.
it isn’t drew breesus coming to Lucas Oil…

Yep. Okereke looks great right now on the Giants. He was the guy to keep. Keeping Leonard over Okereke just makes the decision look that much worse.
I miss Bobby. He was a true middle linebacker. Zaire has had a good season, but I think Bobby was much better for the defense and for the future.Shaq is drama. He used the media to air his frustrations of playing time, when we could all see why he wasn’t out there on passing downs.

Yes but someone who can (say) bring heat in the A gaps after another man CB drafted and some good blitzing/coverage LB drafted could still not be used the same by 2 DCs within the same base scheme. I’m not advocating a change to 3-4 whatsoever but more pressure packages with zone blitzes playing 4-2-5 and 3-3-5 fronts from time to time
The Chiefs had good man CBs drafted but Bob Sutton wasn’t bringing heat and after several years of his D, Andy Reid went with Spags who brought heat to affect pressure with essentially the same personnel and then got more personnel that fit over time.
I understand.And I trust Ballard and Steichen to work well together on coaching decisions through evaluation and planning. I definitely think a change is in order.

That’s because they have a backup QB and they are an average team that has overachieved. What’s discounting is their highest paid players are not making plays when they should be the stars on the team.
I hate to say it too Grover bring back hurts the pass rush because it takes Dayo off the field.
I don’t see Grover being back next year. I think they go a different direction. You cannot get suspended for ped’s for a third of the season in a contract year. The run defense needs more than just Big Grove back.
I honestly don’t see Kenny Moore back either.
We may see big changes.

Not sure if you have heard the saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”.
Wink Martindale used to coach the Ravens and Joe Burrow used to light them up, cracking 40 plus points twice.
In comes Mike McDonald from Michigan, given great reviews for his ideas by Jim Harbaugh. John Harbaugh hires him and they’re a drastically different team mixing coverage so well that Joe Burrow hasn’t gotten over 27 in 4 games against his D and is 0-2 this year, even when he’s rushing 4 but varying his drops so well.
Yes, a change in coaching along with change in ideaology is better than just changing ideology and when push comes to shove, it reverts back to old tendencies. Just my opinion that I strongly feel about.
If the change is well thought through, it’s definitely worth it if you go all in.
You are just limited in what you can switch to successfully overnight. It has to be a similar base defense with the personnel.
To me, it’s similar to switching gm/hc. It may sound good in theory, until the next guy is worse…

Bradley was Ballard’s call, moving forward I hope it’s Steichen’s call.
…Steichen was Ballard’s call too.
I think they have to work in unison with one another. No GM is not going to just let a head coach pick whoever and say “change the whole vision that we agreed to last year when you hired me.” Shane might really like Gus and think it’s the best way to win going forward. He could take more responsibility in his rookie year for the shortcomings of the team, instead of letting Bradley take the brunt of the blame. Offense and defense has to complement one another. They may want to get aggressive with personnel in the offseason and roll it back to see how a few big tweaks, and a healthy AR changes things.
I feel like Irsay is going to put pressure on Ballard this offseason to get aggressive. And I think he will. Perhaps changing up some defensive coaching personnel and ideology will be part of it.

Everybody take a deep breath.
in the words of Daniel the Tiger, “if you feel so sad and you wanna roar. Take a deep breath, and count to four.”
in all seriousness, we still have opportunities left. Of the 3, this was the one to lay the giant turd that we left in Atlanta.
have a merry Christmas and count your blessings.-

Our defense sucks, but it’s easy to fix. Need a MLB and a DE to help Buckner
hindsight is fun, but we should have traded Leonard and kept Okereke. I loved Bobby.-

Game isn’t on Gus. Offense sucks
offense is very limited with Minshew as it is. You take away his crutch in Pittman, and what you see today is what you get. -

Maybe this is a trap game and we overlooked them
im not sure we have overlooked anyone, because we aren’t good enough to.
we’ve just outplayed our expectations to make this type of performance seem unacceptable. It happened two weeks ago. Minshew plays better at LOS. Hopefully we can win out at home and squeeze into the mix.

Heinke is squeezing the ball into some tight windows this drive. We have guys in position, just not finishing the plays

Minshew’s biggest weakness has to be his lack of pocket awareness. His field of view always seems to be 90 degrees in front of him, not much more
yeah, that was apparent from the beginning of the season. Kyle Hamilton sacked him how many times in Baltimore?-

Gardner with some nice plays. Hopefully gets some confidence

If I didn’t know any better, I would think we were tanking. The effort and mental mistakes on the field right now do not resemble a team looking to push the playoffs.

Kenny Moore has whiffed twice now this drive

With an offsides on a missed fieldgoal, and a dropped interception by Zaire, we have gifted 6 points, which is the difference in the game at halftime. Cannot make mistakes, and those are two of so many today. Gotta come out firing second half. Have to have some playmakers step up on both sides of the ball.
Shaq Leonard blasts the colts

this is true. It honestly seems like a lifetime ago for me, as last year was a brutally long year for more reasons than just the colts. He played fast and long last year. Was happy for him to find a good fit, although the giants had a really bad year for where I thought they might be.
