Colts @ Los Angeles Rams Game Day Thread

[OHColtfan]

If this really is "no job is safe" we better see some roster turnover this week. At least an Olineman or two, a veteran CB, a veteran QB and whatever else they can find

[Smoke317]

There you go Chud. Use Brissett when we're down 34 in the 4th...

[RockThatBlue]

Worried about AV. That's three misses in the last few weeks.

[IndyD4U]

Father time catching up with Vinnie? 

[Andrew86]

That was amazing by Brissett.

Brissett for the win ;) 

 

Well they can't release him though because if JB gets injured

WHY DIDN'T WE START HIM

Because he's reading the plays off his wrist.....he's probably got 8 plays he can run.

 

Let him, at least, practice...with the starters

 

 

[HOF19]

That missed XP makes me think......................The tank is on !

[MB-ColtsFan]

1st TD for ther rookie!  JB is da' man!!!

[will426]

Oh wait  down 24 at the half  you don't make a switch..u wait till we have no chance to make a switch

[JCPatriot]

I am streaming the radio play-by-play and I'm not really paying that much attention to it because this game sucks.  I just heard Bob Lamey say, "The sun is still up here in LA."  Yeah, the sun is still up here in New Jersey too.  It's only 6:30 in the afternoon, dude.

Ya I think so. 

[Old Colt]

what no pick 6....

[ricker182]

New holder. New LS.  

  

Not surprised.

[MB-ColtsFan]

Cut AV.  Maybe Brissett can kick FG's too.

[snkdy]

Still a better option. At least he can throw downfield. Tolzien got us 3 points. 

[James]

Pathetic display by AV today. Missing easy FG and extra point.

Not sure what game you're looking at, but compared to other years this line actually looks decent.  Not great or good, but better than last year.

 

Looking at the same game as you, which is a game of opinions and one in which I am not trying to compare to other years.

 

Not a good O-line and I think the constant shuffling has done nothing to solidify what could be a functional unit.

[JCPatriot]

Wait, did they just miss the frickin' extra point?  I mean, if you're going to do that then I guess this is the game to do it, but still........

[will426]

AV better get it together Ballard will release him

Easy now.....try and stay sane

Bring back Morris and release st 

[Douzer]

Can Tolzein, bring back Morris.

And still better than Trashien.

 

Brissett should start next week. No question about it.

[HOF19]

Up and coming in this game....2 more Brissett TD PASSES !

[oldunclemark]

why did I think we'd onside kick there?

[ricker182]

Nothing new.  

Still can't tackle.  

  

Gotta do some of those tackling drills.

You don't have to acknowledge stuff like this, you know like the realities of playing QB in NFL. Easier to scream and shout.

[chad72]

Somewhere Stephen Morris is smiling, sorry to pile it on but when Jim Harbaugh had Colin Kaepernick on a roll it was a gut decision for him to bench Alex Smith, the safe floor (like our Tolzien), the safe option, and it got him all the way to the Super Bowl!!!  Sometimes you have to make gut decisions not based on what is safe but what will get you the win and all of us knew it was not with Tolzien. This is definitely not based on hindsight and hundreds of us were clamoring for Stephen Morris.

Lets just finish the game......without him getting hurt

How much as fans should we take away from this game?  How much hope do you have for the season or has this ruined it for you?

 One game does not a season make. 

  We knew this would take time.

New long snapper and new holder.  I'm thinking the rhythm is off.

The fact that they didn't sign a veteran QB knowing Luck was out is a slap in the face to the fans.  

  

Pretty much told us to screw off. So I will.

 

AGAIN.  They did the same thing the year Manning was out.  And "they" is not even the same "they."  Okay, I know that they did sign a veteran QB the year that Manning was out, but not nearly early enough in the off season to give him a chance to be effective.

JB is pretty good, the thing is even if they had Morris they wouldn't have played him until the 4th... lol

[oldunclemark]

wow....this isn't a how-to-film on tackling, is it?

[HOF19]

Having a happy day today ?.....Or he does not care and not watching game........Grigson.

The reality is that Tolzien isn't an option for this team anymore. It doesn't matter if he knows the playbook if he can't execute it. 

 

Look at the decision Houston made with Savage over Watson. Watson hadn't fully grasped the scheme either and yet, he was starting by the end of the game. And he also looked better than Savage. 

 

Our staff made the wrong decision.
