Has Houston been called for any penalties?
-
honestly it's the lb's that are holding the D back more than anything. All of them. The d line and secondary has been pretty good but lack of pressure from the outside backers and just bad play from the ilb's on short routes have been a killer.

If Joey Bosa wasn't holding out this off-season they would have a different record.
yeah he's looking pretty good so far.

I don't think this is him just being diplomatic; he really does hold on to the ball too long. Peyton, he is not in that regard.
Yep, he's more Roethlisberger and Favre than Manning for sure. That's just how he's wired.

I will say that yes there were too many sacks, but there were quite a few positives on the o line this last game. There were A LOT of plays where Luck had all day to throw, similar to the Detroit game, it was mostly one person who did most if not all the damage against the O line(Hyder for Detroit and Willie Young for the Bears). It's not like there were constant jail breaks on every other snap. When you have 2 rookies and a first year guard all playing next to each other, these things will happen from time to time. I think we should give this unit a little time to develop that continuity. Now if a few weeks from now, the same lineup is still having the same issues over and over then something should be done. But also Luck getting the ball out quicker, not always focusing on the big play. Being better at executing screens would be nice too. Hopefully this young line will grow and improve and there is a bit to be optimistic about too. We'll just have to see.

That call on Luck for bobbing his head was bad. Very picky since many QBs do this all the time without being called.
there were a lot of picky calls that game....on both sides

had to find something positive....they're tied for 2nd in the league in both of those categories.

well they're towards the top in fumbles caused and recovered so there's that at least.

yes there's been too many sacks so far this year, but there's things to be encouraged about too. I think we could be seeing Haeg at RT going forward. He's making rookie mistakes and so is Good(yes he's a 2nd year player) but he's a rookie at guard. This just needs time going forward and I feel if Haeg and Good can stay healthy they could anchor that right side. There will be and has been growing pains with them. And also forgetting that Kelly is a rookie at center too.
There have been times that Luck has had Brady time back there, and it seems that as the year has gone on, that has been increasing each game(save for Jax for some reason). Plus the running game as been the most efficient it's been in a while (just few attempts). Remember the last few years where it was comical when the Colts tried to run it on 3rd and very short. Now they seem to convert it on a regular basis(not every time, but most of the time).
Are there issues? Absolutely, but I think there just needs to be patience on this. '
Now if the same things are happening by the end of the season, then I'll change my tune some on this. Until then, I'm going to preach patience.

I know like it seems every team in the NFL finds ways to complete 2 yards slants and gain 7 yards etc... But we never use quick drops and let the wrs make plays. if you take 5 steps drop and hold the ball for another 3-4 secs its gonna lead to alot of sacks and hits
and this is where this question lies.....is it Chud's playcalling or is it Luck changing the plays to the longer routes? Especially since Luck seems to be having a bigger control of the offense.
-
well to be fair (but not absolve them because they need work) but the Offense has been responsible for 30-40 of those points given up due to turnovers.
-
Good sign for sunday.....the Bears don't have the D Line Detroit did which was the last time the full starting D Line played a full game. And outside of a couple plays, the O line did great in pass protection that game.
-
How many players from the 2013 draft are still on the other teams? That draft is legendary for how much it sucked for just about everyone.
-
Yes Grigson has improved tremendously the last couple years and that will pay dividends in the future. Too bad that 2013 draft was a big mud dump....but then again it was that way for most teams it seems too.
Also he's improved on the free agent signings.....now say what you will about who he's brought in over his tenure, but you can't deny that those deals were very team friendly and allowed the team to get out of them if they didn't work. Plus they're in VERY good cap shape for the future. At least they're not a dumpster fire like the Saints D AND in cap hell on top of it.
-
nope. cancel the season. Disband the team and sell the assets to New England.
-
To be fair the offensive is responsible for almost 40 of the points given up. Due to turnovers.
-
this is shaping up to be the best draft class since 2012, though not the sexiest.
Still a long ways to go but there's lots to be excited about.
-
honestly, I don't view it as that big a deal.....let the youngsters get the reps now.

Hello more time for Maggit
-
I'm going a slightly different route too.....Ray Buchanan to play opposite of Vontae. I actually think our safeties with Adams, Geathers, and Green are solid.
-
TY was virtually unguardable against SD. Why go away from the hot hand.
Besides Dorsett is still an asset and has to be accounted for. Also in an offense that has so many potential playmakers there's only one ball to go around.

In other news, I thought our Defense was bad? Are you guys watching the Saints/Falcons. Man Matty Ice is destroying them, 28 points already!
Yeah their d is embarrassing......no even slowing them down any.
-
if this D was available week one, the Colts would be at worst 2-1 this year so far.
-
Who'd of thunk it. Getting the playmakers on D back and suddenly it performs much much better.
Just wait until they're full up to game shape.
Where were all the complaints the first 50 minutes?

my big gripe the last couple series was why was Ferguson in instead of Gore?
