Moosejawcolt

I get it easy to dump on Reich. Ballard has not gi enough him any offensive talent besides Taylor and a very good Pittman. Teams just load the box and dare us to throw. We cant and this is juat not recent problem. This is becoming a joke.

I will start a new thread after the game. Apologies to Moose Jaw Colt ....lol

In jeopardy? Win or lose he is gone and he knows it.

Wait though. U r going to feel Nelson's impact as he will go done the sideline for deep pass. U watch and see. Ballard, I mean Reich will set it up lol. I think we could use a 20 million dollar wr or te rather that a 20 million guard right now.

Like Bellichek and Reid. I could go on. That motivating crap is for high school. This is the pros. U do your job as u r being paid millions. U follow the script and we will win. What today tells me is that we have neither the players nor the right script writer.

Let me ask u this. How much should a coach have to motivate a player at this level? It's in his DNA to want to win. These players don't have that DNA.

Come on now. We just signed a guard to a 20 million contract. If nothing more we can take this from today's game. A 20 million guard has little influence on the outcome of a game. Ballard said he believed u pay a guard that much because he is a transcdent talent. Nelson could be pancaking left and right and I doubt it would have little impact on the game. This team broken.

Elite teams don't lose to Texans. At this point, I think they will lose to the Jags. Are people forgetting how they lost out last year? And this is how they respknd? U know I hear Ballard talk and he is noting but a salesman to me. Spouting the same old crap and the same results. 5 years in and he needs to go. This team lacks character and that is the one thing that Ballard cherishes in a player. I stand corrected and I am wrong bout Ballard. Not only cannot he not assess talent, but he is also a poor judge of character. Now the next GM can be saddled with an aging DT, LB, Nicole corner and guard who just got signed to a new contract.

Hmmmmm. All on the coaches eh? Yes they deserve some blame. Who drafted the D and O line men?

Leonard has played the last how many season openers and same result. This is not due to his absence.

Honestly if they lose today I would fire Frank. I am his biggest supporter but losing 9 season openers is a big sign that the team is just not prepared. How many times can they start out at the back end and then go on these winning streaks. Irsay will be so *. And some one else pointed it out. They lost to the worst team last year with the season on the line. They were embarrassed. We were lead to believe that their would be a reckoning from these high character guys. Scratch that. If they lose today I would also fire Ballard. There is something seriously wrong with this team if they can lose like they did last year. Sit and stew about it all off season and put up this pile of crap.

Thr problem is that we don't have a the talent in the world. The media and this forum think Ballard is the 2nd coming.

Thank God we signed Nelson to 20 million a year. He's a transcendent talent and u can really see the effect he is having on the offensive out put. Man he is irreplaceable.

And then they get rid of him cause he did nothing here lol

I told people we would get gashed by the run. Also do u ever think it is not the scheme why we can't get pressure after 5 years? Maybe.....just maybe it is just bad player evaluation during the drafting process?

But....but....remember.......Ballard drafts for character and we don't want any divas on this team. I could use a diva or two to maybe inspire these supposed lunch box high character guys. Oh and Ballard's drafting of the trenches is really paying dividends!!!

1) Dallas doesn't lose because it has divas players. They don't excel because every player is over rated by the media. They are over hyped. Perfect example is Parsons. Yes , he gets sacks but I called against the niners. He got run over and was pulled. Go down the list and every player is mostly a name. 2) I never said the full of divas Great teams had their share of divas and hard to coach players. Great coaches make it work.

1) Agree partially. Not a bad thing to have a couple of divas as long as they have all pro talent. U talk about character and the Colts always talk about it. Where was that so called character in the last 2 games? 2) Cannot develop talent if your scouts and GM don't get u the right players. Ballard has drafted Dlinen and most of them look like wasted picks. We shall see this year whether is was talent or scheme as to why these D linemen have under whelmed. 3) Yes, they are competitive. The big issue is these slow starts to the season they are having. It makes them play catch up the rest of the season.

And how do judge success in the NFL?

Play off wins??

What's the Colt's record under Ballard? How many play off appearances. In the end that is how you are judged.

K...Maybe he has tried but the point is that he hasn't been successful in getting a young qb to even try and be that franchise guy. Other teams have done it since Luck's retirement. You can not tell me since Luck's retirement he couldnt have put forth a deal to move up and get that guy? Oh right, they weren't worth it based on Ballard's scouting. Please list the qbs taken in the 1st round since Luck's retirement?

Of course it is not easy but he hasn't tried. Irsay called Ballard the best GM. Well there u go. I live Jim but he says a lot of silly things

Done what extra ordinary work under what circumstances? Please. Luck retired what 4 years ago. He has more than enough time to get his franchise qb. Oh , I assume u were talking about his get year after year Luck pass,?

Depth does not always equate talent. Buckner is proven. Yannick is a proven pass rusher and severely lacking in run mm defense. The rest r just high picks.
