Ok, Yes we will have a new GM. However, with a new GM comes new players, and whether to keep key players (Frank Gore). Regardless of who we have on the roster, Are we completely comfortable with the play calling/packages that we run. Players wont change the results of a 4th and 1 situation, where the Colts call a screen. I just don't get it. How will the GM or can the new GM affect these instances of horrible play calling?

 

This is the question. An organizational philosophy that is effective in key situations.

-You must get positive yards on 1st and 10

-You have to convert on 3rd and less than 2

-Better yet, You cannot be in a situation where its 2nd and 18.

 

These are the plagues that seem to surround the colts. (offensively at least). Please reply with objective football reasoning. -Thanks! 

We had a back run for over 1000 yards I'm good with lkay calling

Our problems are on defense.

I wouldn't judge coaches by individual play calls..

We rolled up a lot of yards and scored a lot of points..with 3 rookies in the O-line

 

 

Lets worry about the defense

Of course lets build the defense. That certainly wasnt my premise. That being said, It wasn't the defense that didnt come through down the stretch. Where we couldn't get the job done, converting the last 2 mins of games, or starting off games slow down by halftime. I.e. Jags @London L 30-27 (10/2), Texans @Indy  L 22-17 (12/11)..

 

That being said, just in case you lost count, this is Lucks 5th year. R. Wilson has been to the dance (superbowl) twice 1-1. I know the expectation is Luck not to be a Philip Rivers type QB? Ijs...(your turn)

Brady helps. He and Belichick have been together forever, and they're two of the brightest people in the league. McDaniels being back helps. He grew up in the New England culture, and they all seem to speak the same language.

 

Their offense has changed a lot over the years, but really, once Charlie Weis left and Brady came into his own as a veteran QB, the offense has become an extension of Brady, and Belichick's influence is obvious. 

 

They do this on defense and special teams, also. Their gameplans vary widely from week to week, as opposed to the typical NFL approach of 'this is what we do, let's get good at it, and we'll live and die by it.' More and more staffs are embracing a more adaptable approach, but New England is just another animal. That's why Brady throws the ball 50 times for 367 yards and they only have 14 rushing yards against Baltimore, then the next week they run for 177 yards against the Colts. 

 

It seems like common sense, but it's a lot easier said than done. Having the same coach and QB for the last 16 years helps.

 

Yeah, but at least you can make it your ambition to reach that peak. Probably not more difficult than to win a SB. That is a long term project too.

 

Get busy living or get busy dying.

The play-calling is inconsistent at best we need to find someone better
