Wrong team again Hoyer. God you Suck!

Actually I have no problem with Hines trying the outside. He is very elusive/fast. Almost had the touch. Glad that We were able to score 6 on the next play.
None of this should have been necessary though. That was a defensive TD.

Doyle is ranked 4th in the league at separation, so speed really isn't an issue, and he's open plenty.
Not buying the WR2 narrative as a reason we're not going deep. TY's big decrease in yards per catch is pretty telling. He's not all of a sudden worse than last year. His catch % is up from 63% to 70%. His big plays (20+ yards) are down by over 50%. Logic would say that either 1) Frank is not calling deep plays because he lacks confidence, or 2) JB is going with shallow 1st and 2nd reads.
And another blurb on Cain.... While Reich said in week 4 that he needed to improve on his route running, he also was highly complimentary on his "natural gift" to beat the press at the line (which means he easily gets past the CB). If he's burning the CB and requires S help, that's a huge benefit itself if only to create space for other WRs/TEs in the seam.
I think another reason that TY's production is down this year is that opposing teams are often doubling him up and/or crashing a safety to his side in an effort to take out our best receiving threat.
They are are in effect saying, we dare you to beat us with "the other guys" and while that may not be entirely working, it is putting a dent in TY's production.

And that gentlemen....is the game

Not so much sad, as angering.
That's on Ballard and Reich. Players shouldn't be the ones taking themselves out of games or off teams. It's up to coaches and GMs to evaluate talent. This should have happed after week one.

So sad to watch Vi. struggle. Time to hang em' up champ. That should have been a gimme.

I think I've figured it out. Vinatieri can only function under high pressure kicks. Next time we commit holding penalties until it's a nail biter.
-
Shutting up now. Clearly I jinxed us.

Good consecutive runs by Mack has us moving...Finally!

When Flacco is running for first downs and beating your LBs, you know it's going to be a long day.
-
Jags and Titans are both handling their business. Colts need to bear down the rest of this game.

That was a hold to be fair. But urg..
I was referring to the unnecessary roughness call. I think that could have gone either way. Looks like our d-lineman was tossed.

Man does this officiating crew seem to have it out for the Colts. Geez...

Broncos seem to be rolling. Their offensive line isn't nearly as bad at least against our front four.

May need to start scoring on defense at this pace.

Brissett isn't the future, Mack is hurt again surprise surprise. Defense is gonna be legit when we get Hooker and Leonard back. Turay is a welcome addition. Brissett throws the ball way harder than he should, and fails to lead receivers. Sorry, just quick thoughts. Oh yeah, the Lions look legit.
I must have watched a different Colts-Raiders game. Almost ALL of his throws were where they needed or should be. These receivers can't get separation or catch the ball when they should. How many dropped passes today?

And that graphic is likely to change after the TB/NY game. Man that was a great game! 4 TD, two ran in himself and 336 passing yards!

This is the graphic that made me pause what I was doing today. JB rolling up right between Patrick M. and Tom B. If Obi Wan Jacobi can keep doing this the QB is not our problem. We should always have a winning chance.
Just keep bringing in the talent through the draft and building a solid all-around team. Not the unbalanced teams of the past. Sometimes I think the superstar QBs can cause GMs to lose focus on that.

that wont usually be a winning QB performance
it almost worked yesterday because of the big day from Mack, but 25 carries per games isnt really sustainable. JB was efficient though, if he can keep that up while getting at least 250 yards we might be in business
I'm not so sure. Had Ebron caught that touchdown pass, JB would have been 22/27 for close to 200 yards and 3 touchdowns. That's very efficient. I don't think Mack would have necessarily had to carry the ball that many times or Hines would have been in the mix more. That said, time will tell if JB is the real deal or not.

I don't see PC as redundant at all. TY is going to be working the mid to deep parts of the field and constantly threatening to take the top off the D.
Our other receivers and tight ends are going to be occupying the safeties and linebackers across the middle of the field. PC is going to potentially do either or will even be coming out from the backfield like Mack or take very shallow crossing routes just past the LOS and using his speed and YAC abilities.
Reich is going to have a lot of fun working with all of these options.

I was surprised by two things.
1. The amount of lbers took.
2. Not one genuine dl disrupter (edge or dt). My biggest disappointment.
The back end though is clearly much stronger. I also get the feeling we might be seeing a lot of specialty packages with so many athletic, quick lbs.
I wonder if the staff evaluated what they had on the D-line and concluded that the men were "good enough" but with a stronger backend could become great. The strength of this draft class was definitely on the defensive side of the ball, particularly the backer and secondary positions.

So you are saying there is no value in the first?? I think Ballard values quantity...especially in rd 2....but no doubt who was at 26 had more value than who will be there at 46.
No, we're all saying there are plenty of great players still to be had and it doesn't justify making a pick here just to be in the first round. Ballard also gained a pick for next year in the process.
-
We all knew going in that we needed a pass rush. This game should only make the case in full for Ballard. Just like he fixed the O-line, he needs to fix this pass rush and get another wide receiver that can break coverages.

In several posts I pointed out that we have 6 picks in the first 4 rounds, but that they are generally a lot lower in each of the rounds than what has been the case the past two drafts, which stands to reason we should get fewer pillar players out of this draft. To the people who think Ballard is such a genius that it doesn't matter and he'll find just as many pillars anyway, I suppose what I said looks contrarian when compared to that opinion.
I almost completely disagree. Ultimately there are "pillar" players in almost every round, but the GM has to have the eye for them. Case in point...and this is a very small sampling...
Josh Norman - 5th round CB - 2011
Gino Atkins - 4th round DT - 2010
Jason Witten - 3rd round TE - 2003
Cam Chancellor - 5th round S - 2010
Justin Houston - 3rd round LB - 2011
Richard Sherman - 5th round CB - 2011
Antonio Brown - 6th round WR - 2010

I was worried that the NFL would be too “big” for him as he had limited college experience, but he showed he has what it takes. There is still a long way to go, but if the coaching staff can keep protecting and building with this kid the sky is the limit.
