Run left run right is Reich in charge f both offenses
If you want us to win we better keep running it.

Marvin Harrison Jr is worth losing to even Frank’s ineptitude. And Gardner is just the QB to make sure that happens. All while making it look good mind you…
-
Frank’s squad helped us out.

he's little
Tank Dell is good too
That’s who I wanted us to take. I like Downs though too. But Dell was my first choice.

In the texans game, stroud just lead a 40 sec td drive down the field. I'm getting jealous for texans...
I wish we had our young stud QB out there. He’s got potential to be the 1st QB to throw for 30 tds & rush for 20. Just hoping he can get over the injury bug.

Pittman is seeing Downs ascending and doesn’t like it. Even Pierce had 3 catches on 3 targets. Pittman had 2 catches on 5 targets. He wants lots of targets so he can put up mediocre stats with those targets in a contract year. I say give the guys with more big playmaking potential the extra targets.

Ballard has had some bad misses in the draft but this year’s class has looked legit. Don’t know if that’s all Ballard and staff and how much Shane has had an influence there but AR, Downs, & Brents have looked legit. Before AR’s injury (praying Brents injury is minor) this class had some all time best draft class potential. Up there with the Luck TY class.

Doesn’t matter if it was uncatchable. Illegal contact maybe but it was not PI.
That’s true. But we just saw the Chiefs win the Super Bowl on the same kind of crap call. Baker just gotta be way better on that play though. After the last penalty, you can’t double grab the guy and not expect a call. Not like the guy can run by you for 70 yards. Turn and force a tight window throw. Not grab with basically both hands.

Walker airmailed it. Yes he shouldn’t have grabbed him but that ball was not catchable. It wouldn’t have been catchable even without the grabs.
Yeah but you can’t grab and then adjust your grip and grab again.
-
If you watch the replay, Baker basically grabbed his arm twice. The 2nd grab essentially forced the refs hand. The 2nd grab would’ve made Rock Ya Sin jealous. Just poor play by Baker. The first call was weak and the more egregious call. Receiver ran into him and he didn’t even impede his progress. That 2nd one though, WTH was Baker thinking. Just let him go and run with him.

No I was trying to make the point Grover had Bern here long enough and built up good will and because of that it won’t hurt his next contract.
We’ll see. Maybe it’ll just be incentive laden to cover for another potential suspension. Feels like Grove maybe was juicing up in a contract year to ensure he secured the bag….

No clue if this is related but I saw a story last week saying the NFL told players to avoid a certain meat from Mexico I think because it contained illegal substances.
The top boxer Canelo tested positive “allegedly” because of tainted Mexican beef a few years ago. We all know Grove loves to cook lol. But I’m still skeptical.

Colts need to win next 3 games if they at least want yo stay in playoff contention.
You missed the point but oh well
I didn’t miss it. I just disagree with your point. You think Steichen praising Grove means he’s forgiven and will get the maximum contract that he’s earned from his previous play irregardless of his suspension.
I think the praise is just the team rallying around a beloved team member & leader but it guarantees nothing when it comes to his next contract. And I think this situation will affect the contract negotiations.
-

Steichen could have just a quick thing and left it at that. He goes on saying it was a mistake and Grover has great character. He went out of his way to praise him and they will stand by him.
Because Grover is a beloved teammate and probably one of the leaders on the team. Everyone has praised him after this situation. I don’t think that means he’s gonna get the same contract he would’ve gotten had he balled out the rest of the year without being suspended for PED use. As someone else stated, he better come back post suspension and tear things up if he wants his best possible contract.

Just now, GoColts8818 said:
Well he’s the coach, Grove isn’t his teammate. Still no I wouldn’t expect the coach to throw any player under the bus.
He’s respected & loved by all of his teammates is what I was getting at.
-
Just now, Restinpeacesweetchloe said:
No I don’t think it will. There might be some thibfs within the contract in case it happens again but I do not think it will effect his money. Steichen kind of already put a rest to not supporting him.
Did you expect him to throw a beloved teammate like Grove under the bus?

They could have had Trubisky for 1 or 2 million I believe. Not a fan of his, but he has won about 55% of the games he’s started.
Trubisky gets a lot of hate but he took an average Bears team to the playoffs and was a double doinked 30 yard field goal from winning a playoff game. He’s definitely a better QB than Minshew. Minshew just knows the offense and was a better mentor for AR.
-
Just now, GoColts8818 said:
Probably depends on how he plays after the suspension. If he plays the way he did before and is “clean” someone will pay him.
He’s gonna get a contract. Just probably not at the level pre suspension. Really opens the door for us to keep him without having to overpay.
-

If that’s the case then why is he on the roster?
Because he’s a good backup who’s been thrust into the lineup. We have one of the weakest schedules in the league. If he’s ever gonna start winning in this league, this year is the best chance he’s gonna get at doing so. I just don’t see it happening. Not enough for us to make the playoffs.

I don’t think his suspension will have any effect on what he gets paid. Grove is lucky and has been here long enough to build up good will.
You don’t think a player coming off a 6 game suspension for PED’s is gonna have his next contract affected by that suspension? I don’t see how it can’t be affected.

Just now, Blueblood23 said:
Absolutely agree! Ballard drafts quantity over quality. It irritates me that he trades down on potential difference makers versus just guys.
One other point on today’s game. If they have such a good roster as some on here believe, how do they lose at home against P J Walker?
Gardner Minshew is the answer you’re searching for. There’s a reason he doesn’t win games in the NFL. He’ll make things look respectable but ensure you’re drafting high in the draft the next season.

Yes I think we are going to be happy with that extension before much longer.
Ballard is going to have some hard calls to make in free agency this off-season:
Minshew
Stewertt
Pittman
Moore
Moss
Rigo (okay keeping a punter won’t be THAT hard)
Lewis
Blackmon
Bryan
Thats in no particular order.
some of those will be easier decisions than others.
Looks like we can probably get Grove at a discount. Blackmon has been balling.

Pittman & Pierce is a toss up. Pierce has more big play potential but Pittman is getting all of the gritty tight end type tough catches over the middle. Especially in garbage time. That 75 yarder will go a long way towards helping his yards per catch. Imagine if we had AR… He’d be #1 and this would be a damned good list of playmakers.

I think he has more patience. Has a Leveon Bell style. Patient setting up his blocks & then goes.
