Could be Frank's last season in indy.

 

 

If this were a high probability, I think the Colts would have told Siriani or Eberflus to stick around and you'll be the next HC, assuming Ballard thinks enough of one of them to offer the job.

Would anyone here be willing to trade Buckner and a 1st for Watson?  

Not going to happen, but if it's there you make this deal immediately!

Ten years of high level play at the most important position in sports. I am stunned that anyone would not make this deal.

Most likely River's told them, but.....if what you said is true, it means the Colts already have a deal worked out for their next QB.

This off season just got REALLY interesting!

[Update: Sirianni hired as Eagles HC (merged)]

McWeasel: Bill, Mr Kraft, I'm taking the Eagles job.

Bill: You mean that's what you're telling them, right?

McWeasel: Of course, I'm not actually going to take it.

Kraft: Okay, good. Take that Philly Special!

[Without a Franchise QB - The window is Closing for the Colts]

 

Elway rushing stats were pretty consistent over the course of his career, except for 1992 and 1998, when he only started 12 games. His last two seasons:

 

1997 regular season 50 rushes 218 yards

playoffs 9 rushes 25 yards (4 games)

1998 regular season 37 rushes for 94 yards (12 games)

playoffs 9 rushes 34 yards (3 games)

That is such a bad rule. Where was the penalty. You would think if your reviewing the play they should be able to call that penalty.

Hate that rule

Mahomes is unreal

Agree, and not meaning to take away from him, but the KC receivers are always wide open.

[Without a Franchise QB - The window is Closing for the Colts]

Neither player is watching the game today.

 

Rivers is playing with his 9 kids, and Jackson is in concussion protocol, which means no phone, computer or TV for a few days.

 

[Without a Franchise QB - The window is Closing for the Colts]

Running QB, no.

Ability to extend a play when the pocket breaks down, and run a boot leg for a 1st down or TD, yes.

 

Sounds a lot like a guy we had a few years ago.

He’ll have better options, even if it’s not this year. 

While this may be true in theory, if the Colts D takes a step back next year, and you never know with injuries and such, he may miss his opportunity to be a head coach.

[Dome/ Indoor teams rarely win SuperBowls....]

As a fan who has attended winter games in Indy, Cleveland, Nashville and New Jersey, I'm fine with having reduced odds of winning the Super Bowl, while having a domed stadium with a Skywalk connected to my hotel and a lot of the fine local restaurants and watering holes.

[Dome/ Indoor teams rarely win SuperBowls....]

Did you know since 1997 only two warm weather teams have won the Super Bowl. New Orleans and Tampa Bay.

[Love Of Brissett is sickening]

I agree JB was way overpaid, but two things keep me from caring:

1. it wasn't my money

2. his salary never prevented the Colts from signing any player at any position

[Reich Coaching Decisions Post-game Takes(Mega Merge)]

It concerns me that Reich has been around the game a long time, and yet he says "analytics" said 4th and 4 was a strong go. That to me is a coach who is not confident in making a decision based on his many years in the game, and instead uses the crutch of analytics to make the tough decisions.

 

And as far as the 4th and 4 goes, how do you rely on analytics in this situation? There are way too many variables that make the data irrelevant and incomplete. The fact that FR couldn't say in his head "they stuffed us on the goal line on 1st, 2nd and 3rd down, and the Bills defense pumped up. We need to get some points" is mind boggling to me.  Every single thing on that series said kick the field goal, except apparently, flawed analytics data. Analytics has it's place, but this wasn't one of them.

 

If FR doesn't have a feel for the game at this point in his career, then he never will. If he does have the feel but not the confidence to rely on it, then this is who he is and nothing will change.

 

Having said all this, I like Reich and I think he is a really good coach and the Colts should absolutely keep him. I just want to see him improve his decision making and not continue to make the same mistakes over and over.
