     You were able to decide that he stinks after one professional start that he played without Taylor and only lost by one point? Seems legit.

     

    I guess you forgot about the Pats game in which he looked like he didn't belong in the league as noted by many in the national media! I watched Sam in college and he was nothing special ESPECIALLY against the better schools. Too many limitations. Many thought he would go UNDRAFTED but Ballard saw the "sauce" in him! :facepalm: Not his fault put that and the MANY other offensive flaws on Ballard.

    Why would you call if you had Ryan has the quarterback. Jeff has made a mistake putting Ryan back in. 

     

    So Sam was the answer?! I remember his two starts NOTHING special and that Pats game, YIKES!!! Jeff made the right call because Sam wouldn't have even won that Raider game. ALL the qbs on this roster are subpar ESPECIALLY Sam who doesn't look the same against STARTING nfl defenses! He can't make a career against 4th string pre-season defenses!!!

     

    My point was to mix it up on offense. Once Philly started shutting down the run the Colts continued to force the run on early downs! I think Matt is washed (believed that BEFORE we aquired him) BUT he is the lesser of the evils in our qb room. I'm still baffled that Ballard is getting a pass for this mess. This team is a LONG way from being a contender. Just good enough to give flashes here and there after SIX YEARS of building.

    This game is still almost as boring as every other game. Raiders defense is not that good.

     

    We have a BASIC offense period! No matter the coach or playcaller. Not enough EXPLOSIVE receivers nor do they have a top tier type of qb either and you need BOTH in today's nfl. Everything is too methodical with NO room for error. Their offense is HOPING that JT can break one. (Which he just did!!!):highfive2:Bad throw by Ryan on the 2pt conversion.

    IDK..

    Didn't we hear...

    • He is mobile... so he won't get sacked...
    • He's fast/smart, and will throw it away

     

    Most coaches would have rolled him up a lot. But nope... 

     

    Special Sauce!!

     

    Repeat after me.... He has the sauce! Sam HAS the sauce! Ballard is a TOP gm and Frank is a good coach! Say it enough times and it MIGHT come true!!!!!

    Gotta think Franks mental health isnt good! Acts like he has dementia or something with running up the middle every possession!

     

    I have always said that Frank doesn't understand that you can RUN off tackle, call misdirection plays and utilize sweeps. He doesn't try to make ANYTHING easy for his backs. More of a hope that they can bust one loose up the middle.

    They all failed to address the real issue in the oline. Ballard paid Nelson 20 million and it looks like he is washed up. Failed to address the loss of jack Doyle too.

     

    Which is why I said earlier this falls at Ballard's feet!!! The o-line is a mess!!! Once Nelson started having back issues he hasn't been the same and neither will Leonard but BOTH are two of the highest paid in the LEAGUE at their position. In Ballard and Reich we trust! :facepalm:

    What are you talking about? What is Sam supppose to do? 

     

    I'm talking how he looked in preseason against 4th stringers that had some talking like he was the next coming of a "special" type of qb. What was Matt supposed to do either?  The o-line stinks. This is a Ballard and Reich issue!!! This Pat team ain't fielding the 85 Bears defense. As a matter of fact this version of the Pats isn't even good!

    Should probably just get rid of him period.

     

    Yeah because if you're not using him like Sproles I'd rather see Jackson with those carries up the gut!! I prefer no one doing it because it makes it hard on the back. I can't imagine JT in some easy OPEN space schemed plays with misdirection and off tackle runs. Had a feeling this game would go back to the long methodical offensive plays that have NO room for error!! This offense lacks EXPLOSIVE plays! Check down is the norm today which is easy for a defense to jump routes....

    An elite back and good O line need to be able to get one yard when everyone knows it’s coming. 
     

    Credit to Tenn they played well.

    I guess everyone has a good defense now because that is starting to happen more and more.

    Frank hasn’t had a stable QB since he’s been here. This is all on Ballard 

    He wanted his guys in Rivers, Wentz and Foles as substitutes but you're right because Ballard has had MORE than enough time to move up in the draft to nab a franchise qb!

     

    Like Ballard said when he first took the job when asked would his top priority be the o-line to protect Luck and his response was it's NOT about one man let me know he was out of touch. To win in this league you need a FRANCHISE QB to have any chance of being a contender. That's why in his arrogance the qb is just a guy and can be simply plugged in. :facepalm:

    Couldn’t even get a one yard gain. We’ve run it plenty of times with better results. If you can’t get one yard, it’s not good

    A lot of that is JT making people MISS! Frank is not doing him or this subpar o-line ANY favors by calling that predictable nonsense that the Titans or the fans at home can see coming a MILE away!
