PLEASE ALLOW LUCK TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE..

[Michael Lebron]

NO I am not overreacting, NO I am not going to bash the coaching staff, NO I am not makeing excuses for the lost. However what I will do is stress why we need to turn LUCK loose!!! I know many of you will stress he threw the ball 46 times.(bah, bah, bah) However I am not concerned with only the volume in which we pass the ball, I am more so concened with what we do with those pass attempts.

1.Have we not look good when we stretched the field with 4 & 5 wides? (show it more often)

2. Luck has found room running the ball when we were in shotgun & 4&5 wide sets....(Seems to see the field better and allows tims for our receivers to get open down the field)

3. Donald tends break his bigger runs after we have went down the field a few times (via draws)

4. Every time we are in a 2 minute hurry up style offense, we produce plays. WHY NOT MORE.. (especially coming out of halftime we our offense has stalled)

5. Our lineman are beat up and not cohesive at the moment......however they are doing a decent job in pass protection. So pass until it until they stop it! Our running game is not setting up the pass...stop saying it! (Luck was our leading rusher)

6. I feel as if we are trying to ease LUCK into the fire! If we are going to lose a game, I rather lose with our best player being aggressive down the field. (OUR STRONGEST POSITION OUR RECEIVERS AND TIGHT ENDS)

7. TY is poised for stardom, Donnie is back to his old self, and REGGIE IS REGGIE.... AIR IR OUT!

LET THE MAN BE THE FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK HE IS PLEASE.

Time for ARENA BALL!

[lollygagger8]

If we had a good Offensive Coordinator, I could see this happening.

Arians should be a QB coach, not an OC. He doesn't play to the strengths of his talent, he just looks for people that he thinks fit his mold.

[Gavin]

I can get onboard with 1,4 and 7 but like I said in another thread, Lucks best game in my opinion came when he threw the ball 31 times and had 20 completions and threw 2 touchdowns even with 224 yards passing

[GoodLuck]

I want to know where are the bootlegs? Allow him to use all of his talents like Wash does with RG3 minus the option plays. He appears to be one of the best throwers on the run. So put some in the gameplan.

Guessing you listen to the games on the radio. Your QB had loads of time to throw wherever he wanted and he just isn`t very good yet because he isn`t an accurate thrower. He Should be better in year two and beyond. As you get older and you learn more about the game this will start to make more sense.

[gbrads_rants]

He is pretty accurate....he was hittin cats in the chest and they didnt catch....

[Michael Lebron]

THROWINGBBS.... NO I have season tickets, please come seat with me during the game and we can break the game down together if you would like.

[Michael Lebron]

AND he does not have a loads of time to throw, hence the reason he is running the ball. However i WILL say the line has not been bad at all overall with pass protection.

[coltsfanatic24]

our wr's are dropping too many passes for luck to be efficient. we should pass on 1st downs more and keep fleener in the game and let him do what he does best.

[jbaron04]

U have to show the run to pass effectively

[Mameluc]

it was the jaguars of course the OL looked better. they did, justice has surprised me i admit...but it was the jaguars they have no pass rush, our OL sucks.

[Stephen]

we played too conservative at the end after the big brown play we should have passed to get the first down and made jags use all timeouts then kicked field goal

[USAFHoosier]

Just wait till Peyton retires and becomes our OC..... Somewhat sarcasm. It just seems like in the second half of every game so far we play very conservative. This team needs to keep the pedal down to win games.

[Indyfan4life]

I could understand running the ball once in that situation, but Jacksonville KNEW what we were doing. Three straight run plays that ate up a whole 10 seconds was not the way to go. I definitely think there should of been a PA pass to Allen or Fleener in the end zone at one point.

[NewColtsFan]

Thanks, I'll pass on that.

Doing that is an open invitation to getting Luck killed. If we make ourselves one dimensional for the entire game, or at least, emphasize the pass much more and de-emphasize the run even more, then you've made us more predictable and put Luck at more risk.

Our OL, which is not a good pass blocking line will have it hands full with teams blitzing and trying everything to get Luck.

And for what? We're not making the playoffs this year.

I'm playing odds and percentages here. Your plan MIGHT work. But the downside for me is way too much of a risk, and the upside for me is not high enough to make it worth the risk.

So, I'll pass and stick with what we've got..... yes, even as bad as it is. I'll hope the team gels and plays better as the season goes on.....

And I realize mine might not be a popular view around here...

[Nostrils]

could you imagine... those two could tear the league up lol

[JoKeR]

Running the ball helps keep the defense honest, the running backs ran effectively and it help set up passing plays in similar formations.

[braveheartcolt]

All I have to say is rather boring, however, I'll say it: 3 freakin games.......that's it so far. Why are so many fans expecting us to be like the 2005 Colts. Reign it in guys.....did you not see what we did in the off season?

[Superman]

More aggressive? You mean, like letting him throw on 1st and 10 with a two score lead, which results in him ripping the ball downfield for an easy interception? Like that?

I'm not down on Luck; he's a rookie, and picks are going to happen. I'm just down on the premise that we should hand him the keys to the car and let the offense ride on his shoulders. We're already giving him a bunch of opportunity to make plays (he's averaging 41 passes per game, for crying out loud). He's on pace for 4,500 yards. I don't know how much more aggressive you want him to be, or why you want that.

Jacksonville didnt know squat, the colts just arent good at run blocking yet... In time though that line will look good

Fourth in attempts after three weeks. Take away Luck's 80 yards rushing, and the running backs have under 200 yards in three games. That, as an aside, makes Luck the second leading rusher on the team. Add to that future opponents like the Packers, Patriots, Texans, and others who the Colts could well (likely will) trail most of the game (as was the case in the Bears game already), and Luck might break the record for rookie attempts in a season (590 Stafford, 37 a game, Luck is just under 41 so far...). I'm not sure the Colts could let Luck have any more pressure, throw the ball more, put the offense in his hands any more than they already have, and likely will for the rest of the season. One last tidbit. The Colts led Sunday's game for over 36 minutes, so Luck's 46 attempts were in a game the Colts led for more time than they trailed. Say what you'd like about the play calling, but the fact that Luck threw 46 times in a game which the Colts controlled for most of the afternoon, I'd say he's tossing it around about as much as any QB is on any team. If the issue is really the three runs and field goal, well, that's why Pagano gets paid the big bucks. Traded Jags timeouts for a one point lead with 56 seconds left. That can be debated forever. But I don't see how the Colts could make Luck any more a part of the offense, place any more pressure on a kid with three games under his belt. I'd say they've let him loose, partly because they've had to, partly because so far they can't run the ball with any consistancy.

Remember when tried to let Luck throw on a key third down last week against the Vikings? What happened? A 22 yard sack that completely changed the field poistion. I am not saying history would have repeated it's self but Luck is a rookie and rookies are prone to mistakes. He's not Peyton Manning back there yet, he's impressive no question but he's still a rookie. Also I would be willing to bet had we let Luck throw the ball and had it been incomplete or worse yet picked off and we lost the game fans would be on here screaming about how dumb the coaches were for not making the Jags use their time outs and killing the clock. It's one of those things that if what you did didn't work it's extremely easy to say you should have done the other thing with little to no proof that had you done the other thing that it would have worked. People are mad we lost the game I get that but this need to have someone held accountable after a loss is getting a bit out of hand. Sometimes things just don't go your way remember the Jags got paid to play on Sunday too.

[Warhorse]

Um.......what? We just beat a Vikings team that made the 49'rs look bad, and we are just scratching the surface of our potential. Just what on earth do fans expect? Seriously?

Also, OP please refrain from using all caps in the title.

[Jules]

No worries guys. We will get some game eventually where Luck and our offense have an offensive explosion. Win or lose by the Colts when this happens, I think we have yet to even come close to tapping into the potential.

Patience. This is the 2012 Colts not the 2005 version.
