  1. We had our chances against the Broncos and Eagles. But in both games we didn't execute very well and took a half off. We just need to play consistent for a whole game and get our things together. Adjust if something doesn't turn out, mix run and pass better, play to our strengths.

  2. Pep will most likely be the scapgoat for the offense struggling, but Luck is the reason we were inconsistent tonight. Yes, the refs were bad but we still should have won this game if it wasn't for the overthrows and not seeing open WR's. Since week 9 of last year, Pep has actually called some good plays and uptempo offense. It's Luck's turnovers and Pagano being conservative that's holding this offense back of being great. I put this loss on Luck, he has to play better next week in order for us to beat the Jags.

     

    I disagree and in my opinion the reason Luck is "struggling" a bit is Peps play calling. He isn't a convincing OC. Yes, he had a few good moments but is very inconsistent and seems to make the same mistakes over and over again and just can't adjust. It's like he has a game plan and if it doesn't turn out he has no back up plan. 

     

    I actually really liked the idea of getting him as our OC and believed Luck and Fleener would benefit from him because they already worked together in Stanford. But now I really doubt that this decision was good. Fleener is a non factor and Luck doesn't look very comfortable passing the ball right now.

  3. Richardson played good despite he lost the ball two times. He wasn't the reason why we lost the game. The refs were awful but still we lost because we gave away a 20:6 lead against a Eagles team that were awful executing in the red zone. Coaches did nothing to adjust. Run game was good but the Colts strength the Pass was non existent. And we are very inconsistent. It's an up and down every game. We start slow and play a great second half. If we start good we play a crappy second half. If we can't run we have a great pass attack. If we run good the Pass struggles. If the Defense plays well the Offense struggles. If the Defense struggles the Offense keep us in the game. The story of the last seasons. We just can't bring it all together. And I think Coaching is an issue. Pep Hamilton isn't convincing as OC

  4. In german there is a nice saying "Zu tode gefürchtet ist auch gestorben". I don't know how you are saying it in english. It means no guts, no glory or cowards die many times before their deaths. And I think it describes the situation of our coaching staff sometimes. 4 and 1 I say go for it. I know they are risking their jobs but how did their conservative play calling turned out? Instead of getting the Ball at the 36 yard line Manning marched down the field 80 yds for a touchdown. very easily. there wasn't much to lose. Colts played better in the second half. again like last season behind big times and played very well because they had nothing to lose anymore and had to risk something. Conservative play calling is hurting us if you ask me.

  5. I like the idea of getting John Simon from the Baltimore practice squad! As I mentioned before I'm not a huge fan of a trade involving a draft picks. Quick Shot trades didn't work out and there are some good young pass rushers in next years draft we should target as Mathis successor!
