Too many checkdowns. It's either a pass to the running back or PC underneath. Need to start being aggressive. Titans defense is just sending blitz and playing underneath. Not sure if receivers aren't getting open or play design is vanilla.

Yeah that was a HORRIBLE throw. Wow

'Yeah, that was a PI all the way. Not sure why no one disputed it

- Frank Reich as usual is getting outcoached. 3 weeks in a row where Reich has been coached circles around. He needs to really give up the playcalling and focus on being a HC. - Ryan and these fumbles! Where did they come from?! Was this a problem in ATL? Like what is going on? - Defense looks good. Despite our offense, they have held the Chiefs to under 200 yards in the first half. Can't complain about that. - ST also playing well. - OL STINKS!

Carson wasn't THE problem. But he was apart of it. I was apart of the "Fire Frank and Release Carson" train. Now, I'm apart of the rebuild train. Frank is a good coach but he refuses to let go of playcall duties. Ballard has built a solid foundation but refuses to spend money in FA on important positions. If anything I'd give him one year to prove he can get it right. But Frank has to go.

This OL is much worse than last years. My God. No receivers, no protection = no offensive production.

This is my ONE gripe with Ballard I have. It's good to build through the draft but you have to solidify the foundation you've built with FA because no GM can hit on every pick. We continue to get outbidded on players because he doesn't want to overpay but he needs to wake up. We don't have a premium QB and Indy isn't an attractive destination as a market and city. We have to overpay, especially for the important positions like WR, LT, and pass rushers (which are the positions we lack at). He has built a great foundation. That's just the way the NFL is. He has drafted well. But he has been HORRIBLE when it comes to FA.

I honestly think Frank is a good HC, but he IS NOT a good OC. It's too much going on to be a HC and OC and if you're not SUPER good at either one then it makes it that much harder. Even Andy Reid in all of his greatness has Eric B as his OC. And Frank is not on either of their levels when it comes to HC'ing and OC'ing.

One team looks prepared, the other team doesn't. No way do I think the Jags roster is better than ours.

Wow Ryan. Just wow

Hines is an absolute matchup nightmare. If he has a LB on him, give him the ball. If not, audible to a run. Hines needs to be special for this offense to continue to elevate

Here we go

I am LOVING seeing Hines catch passes! He is a mismatch nightmare and FINALLY Reich is realizing it

Dear Frank Reich, take the darn points!

playcalling has been MUCH better this half. Last year, Reich would’ve kept letting wentz play backyard football

yup, agreed. But still, have to play the ball aggressively. Ryan is putting it there. Receivers gotta make the plays.

yup, Reich once again one of the reasons why we may lose this game.

One thing I don’t like is most of our receivers are body catching. I’ve seen some passes where if the receiver played the ball more aggressively it would’ve been a catch but instead a drop. Hopefully Reggie sees the same

tbh, Ryan looks ok. Can’t help a receiver dropped the ball and another couldn’t make a play on a deep ball. Playcalling looks to be the issue right now, like almost every year for us.

This team is not prepared. That is obvious. I said Wentz and Reich were the problem last year and since we don’t have Wentz and still have the SAME problems it’s obvious Reich is STILL the problem.

No, giving Christian Kirk 4yrs/$72 mill with a $21.5 mill cap hit screwed the market. If Kirk is worth a $21 mill cap hit, diggs is worth every bit of $30 mill

Jaguars really screwed the WR market lol Diggs signed a 4/$70 mill contract. Worth up to $104 mill lol

the thing about this team is that it isn’t necessarily a bad team. We just had mediocre to bad players in the most important spots: QB, WR, DE. So for us, making one move is the same as another team making several moves. despite his shortcomings, ballard has put this team in position to make or break. We have the qb, we have the de, now we just need that wr. Add some depth and I think this team does better than last year.

I do thin MPJ is good. I do think if he's healthy PC can become probably the best slot WR in the league, but after that...that's it. When you compare our WR room to other teams we are definitely in the bottom. Woods would've definitely upgraded this room and for a 6th round pick and his contract I think it would've been worth it. Maybe Ballard has eyes on someone in the draft. Who knows.

liking the group you have is ok, but we should always be looking to improve. And I’m a ballard fan. Maybe he’s banking on Parris being healthy again. I don’t know. Like what would a 6th round in pick 2023 would’ve costed us?
