Some good points to wring from this painful loss;

 

1) Triplett may actually lose his job for his deplorable call. 

2) Brazill and Rodgers are emerging.

3) We are getting in to the playoffs due to our efforts early on. Once in, this team has a shot at making some noise if certain issues are cleaned up. 

4) Trent looks to be getting more comfortable.

I don't get it you have to go for that 4th down coaches! I hope Irsay fires some of them no excuses for that kind of lame and conservative play calling when you are behind two scores...

I strongly disagree. 

 

That's dumb football you're talking about.

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.

I don't get the coaches. We're hurrying up now? Why?

There was a chance to call time outs before half and they let the clock run out, showing no desire to win. And now that we're down by 21 points, we're in a hurry up offense. It's over! Thanks to your horrible coaching!

tell me why it is dumb football to go for that 4th down? 

Because we could've still won. It's only 14 points. 

 

Over 4 minutes (or was it 5 or 6) isn't the time to put it all on one play. 

 

It takes exactly 2 plays to surmount a 14 point deficit.

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.

      Has anyone considered Lamar Jackson? (merge)

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      I love the few in here that don't want Lamar so they are just coming up with everything. This is them when it comes to Lamar = -no, I don't want a QB who is top 8 (which he is top 8) in the league and can turn our team around in just 1 year

      How can you trust Ballard?

      By DougDew · Posted

      This isn't that complicated.  In the eyes of many here, Ballard was not too slow.  It was CAR that was desperate.   I simply contend that CAR knew who they wanted and got in position to get him, because they figured that when other teams finished their due diligence on QBs, enough teams would come to the same conclusion about who the number 1 guy was.   And Ballard says there is not enough difference in the QBs to make the trade up.  Fine.  From an overall talent grade, they may be the same.  But based upon who he settles for at pick 4, there is going to be a tremendous difference in skill sets/ traits that has to be navigated.  AR is a different guy than shrimpy Young, and Levis is different than all three.   So instead of going up and getting the guy that fits what you want to do, Ballard is apparently going to settle for who the QB is (one of two choices probably), then decide what his team is going to look like from there.   Is there a component here that I'm missing?

      Colts have 4th pick (Official Discussion Thread)

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      I said the same thing about Brady Quinn. I was like why is he trying to be a body builder and look like Arnold. I thought it was one of the goofiest things I have ever seen for a QB.

      Is this your prediction for the way the Lamar situation gets resolved?

      How can you trust Ballard?

      By shasta519 · Posted

      I just meant that he has had plenty of draft capital and cap space to build up a team. That he wasn’t restricted in those avenues.    Some of that is to his credit because he is shrewd at draft day trades. Just in his first two seasons, he had a top 15 pick, #6 pick and (5) R2 picks. By the end of his 3rd draft, he had been able to draft (10) top 64 players. That’s a lot of capital. And even since then, he’s had plenty of capital and hasn’t really had to pick late ever.    Also, the cap was in good shape as well when he got here. And actually, Luck retiring would have opened up a lot of cap space as well. So he’s had the financial ability to get players.    I do agree that IND might not be the most attractive spot for FAs, but plenty of teams deal with that.    Luck retiring had a huge impact, but still, the resources have been there to be better than a 4-win team after 6 offseasons of roster building.   When Ballard got here, he said “it will never be about one guy” and now it is about one guy. And Ballard has preached about sustained success and delayed gratification. I think it’s safe to say the fans have yet to get either.   By his own words and goals set forth, he failed. He even said he failed.    Will he adapt and have more success? It’s certainly possible. And I hope he does.
