  1. Can I say that I agree with every play call of the last two games.  No.  That being said, we have been so spoiled over the past several years with the fast paced, up-tempo, chuck it from the cheap seats style of offense, that this run first/power running game has many calling for heads to roll.  Me personally, I love watching good ground and pound football, it does work especially late in the year and in the playoffs (just watch colts vs patriots playoff game from last year).  Since 2000 teams have won roughly 80% of games in the playoffs while attempting at least 27 rushes.  I know that doesn't mean that the run game was super effective, or it directly led to them winning, but these teams seemed to have great balance. I believe we are on our way to being a team with great balance, and that will make us a team who is very dangerous.

     

    Right now we are 7th in the nfl in avg points per game, maybe we do need to make a change in OC?

     

    At the end of the day WINNING cures most everything(?)

  2. What's really scary.  Bradshaw was out the entire preseason, he's just now getting his legs under him.  Trent can and will only get better.  Brown will excel in a change of pace back.  You put that together and stir it all up.  This might be very interesting.

  3. I'll give Bradshaw major props today.  Give Richardson some time to get adjusted.  He was still learning the playbook on the flight to the game.  Once he doesn't have to be so mental about all this new stuff and just run, we will see a huge difference.  Can you imagine those two guys just pounding away on guys?  We punched a very good dline in the mouth today. 

  4. The only problem, don't mean to be a downer, by the time this thing starts to roll, and I believe it will.  In five years our great rookie class and now TRich will have to be paid.  There probably will not be enough money to go around, just speculating I guess.

  5. One of the best threads I've read in a while.  That being said, we are a spoiled fan base.  Since 1995 just 3 losing seasons, some teams would just love to have 3 winning seasons in that time frame.  We almost demand perfection, and the last losing season was a fluke with everything that went on.  What team/teams have had such turnover in the past recent years and accomplished what we have.  From front office, coaches, off/def schemes, players and so on, where we are at right now it's truly remarkable.  Yes, we will take some steps back, yes there will be growing pains.  I love the direction in which we are heading, we are well ahead of the so called 3yr plan.

  6. After tom. night half of the nfl teams will have a losing record, time to panic no.  We won our fist game and had some very good areas: special teams, running back play, no turn overs, very few penalties, etc.   We have been trained over the years that our GREAT COLTS should 10-6 and better, so when we see some things that could possibly lead us to not reaching our ultimate goals, then we flip out.  Can areas be better yes, truly all the areas could be better, but to over react and start calling for heads to role, is crazy.  Just imagine if we would have lost!!!
