Offensive game planning today was horrible. With the weapons we have we must spread the field. It worked on the plays we scored on. Those TE sets have to go. I can see using 2 at the beginning of the game, but one of them use be in the backfield.

Yeah, it's not the L that bugs me.  We were on the road, against the defending SB champs who return 9 of 11 starters on D, with our own defense largely consisting of whoever we could get in short order.  You know it's bad when D'Qwell Jackson doesn't even know the names of all the guys he's playing with.

 

What bugs me is that our offense is largely healthy, with Luck back under center and an arsenal of talented receivers...and, yet, our offense has looked dreadful for nearly 100 of the 120 minutes they've played this year.

 

Defense can point to injuries.  Offense can't -- there's something very wrong there.

Your absolutely correct. A fast start is use your fast WR's. I see to many tight formations today. We still can't run the ball, but I think spreading the field would help that problem.

I'm guessing they kept two tight ends in because they wanted to run the ball to keep Denver somewhat honest and to protect Luck.

I understand the injuries on defense but one thing I could not understand was how soft the coverage was. It made no sense to me why they were so far off the ball most of the time. Again a pass rush was nonexistent yet somehow they were in it till the end. Also Luck was inaccurate a lot especially early when there really wasn't much of a pass rush. It is only two weeks so no need to completely give up on the season but this has the feel of a very long painful season

      Just want no injuries.  Are they wearing shells or just working on installs?

      The offense is probably going to dominate to an extent as the defense will be limited in what they can do, so I expect Richardson to get some nice throws in. I want to see how good his short and medium accuracy throws are. I'd like to see him gain some chemistry with AD Mitchell and throw the ball deep to Pierce. Also want to see Woods get involved.   Right now, I don't expect much from the O-Line and D-Line. There won't be much physicality, but maybe a bit of pressure. I do want to see how JuJu, Flowers, Abraham, Jones, and Simpson will do defending our WRs. Also, Cross, Scott, and Thomas from the Safeties.

      If the Football Gods finally bless Rich Eisen and Rodgers somehow makes it:    SF - Loss NE - Win Buff - Win PITT - Win Hou - Win IND - Win   Really the stiffest competition is against the 49ers.

      Catch -22 Does he not blitz at a higher rate (we are at the lower end of the middle of the pack) because his Ballard believes in bigger slower (4.5's) corners that can't cover go routes? BTW, if neither corner has deep speed it freezes your single high safety to the middle of the field, and Deep. IMO, Ballard's corner theory makes our single high safety look brainless.  Franklin gets chewed up good when he drops into cover 2. As I recall a 75% completion rate, 10+ per reception, and his Yac is more than the catch depth. He just stands there when guys leak out in front of him. Mike Singletary would rip his head off for not getting in there and meeting the ball.

      One thing I just saw was the Colts were bottom 4 of the league in giving up rushing TDs. That helps explain the Davis signing to some degree.    They also gave up 62 passing plays for 20+ yards. Thats a lot considering the consensus seems to be our secondary gives a large cushion.     The more I dive into stats, the more I see Ballard called it how it is. We need to be more explosive on offense and give up less big plays on defense.  The Colts rank in the middle in most categories. Looks like the big plays really hurt this team. Will be interesting if the increased pass rush and experience in the secondary helps improve this defense. I think it will.
