  1. Reich and Rivers both need to go.

     

    Reich would be a fine OC but as a coach he makes terrible decisions.  Those lost 3 points be paramount.

     

    Rivers can't move and throws with no spin and no velocity.  He couldn't even make that end of game Hail Mary to the endzone.

     

    In contrast Allen completed numerous passes that Rivers never could have, including many while running to the sidelines.

  2. That pass is exactly what I am talking about with Rivers.

     

    Allen may have thrown it a tad to late, but his spin and velocity on the ball got the ball there before the defender could make a play.

     

    If Rivers had thrown that ball, it would have been knocked down or intercepted because HE HAS NO SPIN ON THE BALL.

     

    If some if you can't see that I don't know what to tell you but you cannot win a SB with a Rivers who can't run and who can't throw with spin.

    They weren't awful. Again, Allen's WRs are catching very imperfect passes.

     

    And you could also focus on drops by Pascal, Taylor, and others. I'm not talking about he last drop by Taylor. He was about ready to get blown up for a loss, so it's actually good he didn't catch it. 

     

    I'm scratching my head more why Frank is not using Bigs in the RZ vs their tiny DBs, why he didn't take the 3pts, and why he used Hines on a gut goal line run... 

    Difference is Allen is making those passes while running full speed towards the sidelines and completing them.  Rivers could never do that.

    It was an awful pass. Both of those were not Pittman's faults. Potentially 14 points off the board because of Rivers. He's played good otherwise, but his two bad throws have been crucial. Rigo's miss might be the last straw. The are going to break open soon. 
     

    Colts are just killing themselves

    That has been Rivers M.O. his entire career.  Doesn't come through in the clutch.

  5. This could get ugly. Other than a few runs the running game has been pretty weak.

     

    Rivers lack of ability to be mobile and to throw the ball downfield with any velocity at all just severely limits the offense.

     

    If the Colts want to make the next step? 

     

    They need an upgrade at QB. Younger.  Faster.  Stronger. More spin on the ball.

     

    I would also look at finding a new kicker.  RB doesn't have the leg and isn't that accurate lately. He almost tends to guide the ball when kicking rather than exploding the ball through.
