A Tale of Two Halfs

[JColts72]

That first half was probably the worst I seen the Colts in some time with the Sacks/Pressure by a Jag D. What is going to be like against the upper teams and hopefully playoff time- I shudder at the thought. The 2nd half better as Luck was not I'm not going to be sacked again happy feet. Richardson under 50 yards. Looks like Boom should start.

My fantasy team agrees that Boom should start

Trent did not get many carries

The Jags defense is not the reason their have not won games. Their defense gets wore out from their lack of offence. The QB is a rookie and looks the part.

I think there was some hang over from the Pats game in the first half. I am happy we pulled it together in the second half for the win.

Exactly. Jags defensive line is pretty good. You did forget to mention that our offensive line sucks which made the Jags look like an All Madden team.

People on here keep bashing on T-Rich for not executing like an elite back or at the very least a back that's above average. There's not one back in this league that could put up numbers everyone wants to see with this crappy o-line. I'm not saying Trent is an All Pro back but with a good o-line I would bet he'd not be a daily discussion on this board.

Grigs and Pags better get it figured out in the off season. They've beat the odds so far on not getting Luck hurt but I fear that time is running out. I hope I'm wrong.

Luck needs to watch Peyton when his line collapses. He tucks the ball and goes into a fetal position. Not fumble the dang ball or try and throw it. For the love of god, just fall down and take your loss. If we'd been playing a good team yesterday chances are we'd been losing at half time by a huge margin.

Colts are so lucky being in the AFC South. A big reason is the QB's in this division. Until the other three teams get a descent QB the Colts should win this division every year.

Very true I think. For years the other teams in the AFC south were drafting big name defensive players to stop Manning. Kinda looks like they are trying to do the same thing against Luck. It didn't work then and without QBs who can keep up it more than likely will be the same.

This shows why we need more depth at tackle.  Reitz is a good backup guard, we have several guys who are good backups for guard and center actually.  But at tackle he got destroyed.  

 

I can only hope Cherilus is able to play next week.

nice to see the adjustments made on O line blocking schemes. But don't take anything away from the Jags Dline, they're VERY good. Also Jax is 3rd in the league in sacks at 33.

Yes teh O-Line is pathetic, but how come Boom and Bradshwa can burts through at times. Trent just overthinks and does not react. is it me, or does he look even slower running.

T-Rich is a power back, not a speed back. He definitely has to hit any resemblance of a hole quicker, but he's never going to hit it as quickly as Bradshaw or Boom.

Not pointing to you, but in general, I feel people have to just accept it and stop looking for him to be something he doesn't have.

It all comes down to simple physics.
