The DB hit it. It wasn’t a drop.

Lol — I don’t know either but I’m curious. Everyone keeps referring to all these drops that hurt AR’s stat line. I must have missed them.

I can only think of one drop today — Granson over the middle. The ball to A Mitchell on the left sideline was knocked away on a good play by the DB. Don’t remember any other drops.

Nelson pulled and laid some lumber and Glow also bullied someone on the 2-point conversion.

AR is so strong. Exciting win. Glad Shane went for the W while the New England D was on its heels.

Your wife bugging you too?

Happy TG to all. There’s a lot of fans on this board with a lot of football/Colts knowledge!

You should be fine w dumping CB because of his track record. Did you support Reich until he was fired? Grigson and Pagano — full support until Irsay canned them? I can’t think of a stance much lazier than saying you’ll support CB up until the moment he gets fired. Very odd. I can’t tell if you really support CB or you’re so committed to this bizarre stance simply because you’ve held it for so long.

See, I form my own opinion. You let Irsay form yours (at the time of his dismissal.) That’s sad and really strange. Or in your style, “Dear God.” Were you ever a boss or manager? I’ll bet your employers loved cutting out early knowing ol NCF is OK with mediocrity. Aim higher. It’s not too late.

Lol. It’s Ballard’s entire body of mediocre work (59-67-1), not one 9-8 season. And it’s not just one “disappointing first half of this season,” it’s continued mediocrity year after year and, to top it off, his statement that he won’t vary from this approach because … who knows. What would it take for you to give up on Ballard? Good grief.

What? Didn’t you see him jump aggressively on the pile, when he got the penalty? Dawg move right there.

This game was the worst watch of the season for me. I never for one minute felt we could win. And the Lions have gone from laughingstock to elite during the CB era, during which all we have is delayed gratification and reliance on our guys. Depressing.

1. Our TEs are so bad. It’s a disservice to a young QB to run our TEs out there. 2. I don’t know enough about calling games to question Shane but I’m going to question Shane. We march down the field on the first drive using a jet sweep, a sweep option to JT, a designed QB draw. The rest of the game, very little creativity. Once the script was used, Shane seemed out of answers. The Lions — that’s a creative offense. 3. Are we too dumb to use screens? Other teams kill us w screens. 4. Penalties.

Respectfully, I don’t understand running a creative offense early - a jet sweep, option play, designed QB run — and marching down the field. The rest of the game, very little creativity. The rookies were in there for the early success.
