  1. I think teams will need to see a couple more games of production before they take their focus away from Hilton.

    Yeah, I'm a big supporter of going to Rogers but one really great game does not make this kid a threat to the league. I will say what he did and how he did it was quite nice to see after watching bricks drop pass after pass when it's thrown at his hands. A big guy with speed catching with his hands, nice!

  2. I really lost it on the first drive: 3rd and 3, and we throw the ball 20 yards deep. (after a time out for gads sake!!)Really, really lost it on the second drive: 3 and 9ish and we throw a screen for a gain of two. Not just any screen, but the same one that we tried a few plays earlier when DB fell.This type of inane play calling has been going on all year. Pep needs to go.

    He at the very least needs to demonstrate the ability to adjust his play calls. I'm not sold that pep is creative enough to make a second year adjustment bsed on what we've seen from him this year but it's his first so this is where we have to hope the upper management guys make the right call. Manusky however has a bad history of being a bad DC. where is Jim Mora Jr;)

  3. I'm putting money on the fact that the coaching staff gets a pass because of the injuries.

    Got to give them a shot at the full staff.

     

    Personally, I feel the lack some imagination and knowledge of in-game adjustments, but they really do

    deserv another shot since this is the first year of the O scheme and they were missing huge players

    on the O-Line.

    Im missing something, whk on the defese was lost that was an impact so large? I can somewhat understand logic with offense but I think you really have to look hard and long about how Pep has devised gameplans and adjusted from the college ranks. If this team wants to blame the loss of Reggie on how poor the offense has played since, the coaching should be shuffled because teams lose their best players and still win all the time. We just looklike such a bad bad team overall each week.
  4. The only way this be omes a successful offseason is this no inspiring defensive coordinator is canned aT the end. Manusky can't get his guys into many good positions all year. I just don't get how the guy keeps getting jobs. Pagano is an overmatched coach with no stones and Pep is just terrible at devising routes to open receivers. Griggs is going to earn his money on decisions this offseason cause he has to make the decision if these coaches are inspiring enough to elevate the players on the roster or is it just time to make a change.

  5. Many feel this way. Theres a sentiment among many tea party republican types that unions are just a shakedown operation to remove accountability from underperforming workers.

    Just ask the question, if this were your business and the refs produced results like they have, would you keep them employed? GM all these years producing clunkers while paying huge salaries for defect cars, would you maintain the same people? Just no ability to hold a union member accountable for poor performance and over pay for the product making the half effort

  6. Luck looks terrible, line looks terrible, receivers look bad, d is going all out on the bend dont break, ref's screwed us. This season needs to end at get to the post season.

    Look at how this offensive game has gone, luck completes a pass to Fleener, never sees another ball thrown to him, Rogers makes his first completion and we dont throw to him again until last pitifull series, DHB drops a pass and he gets another ball tossed to him sooner for a catch and then never again. God this team has such pitiful coaching across the board. Nothing they do makes any sense

  7. The Colts made a goal line stand and got robbed. 

     

    Tripplett needs to be fired for the sake of the integrity of the game.

    Unfortunately this is the garbage you get with the union people. Perform good or bad, we don't care, the union will protest any disciplinary action against its union brother. Criminals
  8. Dalton is on today....

    Can you name any QB who isn't on againt the Colts? This team hurts to watch right now. We can't psss protect, run block, defend the run or pass. Coaches suck they cant game plan cant understand 4th and 1, use a time out! Seriously this team is fundamentally flawed in every way possible.

  9. Dude you're being very undude...

    There are realistic fans, there are homers, and then there are also optimistic fans and pessimistic fans...

    I'm a realistic homer fan with an optimistic view for this game. I think they are learning to put better game plans together and utilize staff as opposed to plug and play for the scheme more on offense. This past game was our turning point and the fact we are making changes in personnel tells my gut we win. We have the risk of losing and if we do, won't be in shock. Now I we stick with DHB and others who keep us from winning, I'll be upset about my hope of the coaches learning from past ways.
  10. we need better wr's. not taller ones

    We need a better oline and everyone looks better. I believe Luck has lost confidence in himself because that line breaks down so fast that even the rare cases the lines give "adequate" protection, he is expecting it to collapse and he is struggling because of it. There is no doubt that Lucks accuracy is not where we want it and I feel it's mostly due to his being rushed so often even if its not every throw, it's in his head. Im not discounting a lot of wr drops either by all of them but Luck hasn't thrown the best placed balls all season either or to the most open. He has some work to do as well, he will though.

  11. Donald Brown isnt a bad back with an oline that make a hole, the odd thing is, so would Trent. I would be willing to resign Bradshaw as I loved the way he ran so hard but with that injury and his history, I'd be very concerned about signing him and with Brown, who seems to remain healthy, you have to figure out your option between those two. Keep and pay Brown in hopes he keeps trending up and he has shown this season healthy running or keep Bradshaw and gamble he stays healthy. Then you have 3 starters in Bradshaw/Brown, Ballard and TRich plus some 4th backup, how do you maintain a runners game rhythm?

    Big offseason decisions but without fixing the middle of that oline, it won't matter if the hulk is our rb.

  12. Shipley isn't playing all that well. He's a marginal talent. The problem is with Satele, but Shipley wouldn't fix our offensive line.

    I don't what the rvens play nd don't doubt he isn't doing well, however, Satele was playing worse than Shipley was ad he would have at least been a replacement to change up on the oline at center is all I'm pointing out. They seemed to just go all in with Satele and lostthe gamble that he would improve his play without fear of looking over his shoulder. Idk, I don't want it to sound like I felt Shipley wasan all pro player we shipped offbecause he wasn't, only a feeling of modest improvent overa terrible Satele.

  13. Made some valid points and some huh points. He states that Vasquez and Levitre are doing so well on other teams, however, he failed to point out that Vasquez had no desire to go anywhere but Denver. Also, many people have pointed out that Levitre has not done all that well in Tn either so...

    The statement that made we wonder was near the end about Tom Telesco and his potential on the talent review. Thats a very good question right there. Time will tell on this but really the bad things that stand out this year for me is the desire to keep DHB in the lineup, Satele over Shipley (may have been a coaching call there though) and the trade of the 1st draft pick for a RB not named adrian Peterson. Next season will tell us how impressive his vision is coming together, year 3.
