Anything positive from game 1

[B~Town]

So many threads about all the negative that went on today lets try another direction .

 

I will go with Doyle guy will fight for every inch every yard made some great blocks in the run game also . 

 

Mack showed his ability to take a dump off to the house .

 

lets keep this positive a long season still to play

The defense looked fine to me. Once Luck gets back we’ll be even better. Brissett showed he can lead us down the field so if ready he may start next week. 

[#12.]

The clock ran to 00:00.

[ColtsSouljah]

The run defense was improved

[colt18]

Mack looks pretty good.

 

Brissett looks like he wont % the bed next week.

 

Run defense isn't terrible.

 

 

 

[1959Colts]

We won the coin toss.

[Devildog]

I saw Luck run towards the locker room during halftime today.  That's positive. 

[GoColts8818]

The game is over...

 

in all seriousness Mack played well, as did Gore until game got blown open, and I think Brissett will be out there sooner than later.

[Sumo63]

The most positive thing for the long term health of this organization is that this coaching staff is being evaluated by a fresh set of eyeballs.  No GM left to blame, no more coordinators to fire, no superstar QB to hide behind, just bare bones,  "can you win in this league?".  I know this is painful kids but this is good for the Colts.......

I liked Al Woods

[krunk]

Thought Denzelle Good looked better at tackle today than he does at guard.

[PrincetonTiger]

The front 7 of the D, the right side of the OL and Rigo Sanchez 

[ColtsBlitz]

Run defense allowed 1.2 ypc with Gurley as the star back.

Good Mewhort and Haeg look nice on the RS

 

 although Bond had some struggles he had to hold up for to long because of ST

[PrincetonTiger]

Once the walking wounded are back the entire D will be strong

Did Haeg play? I think they should replace Vunovich and put him back out there

i dont think it was serious because i saw him back out there playing.

that is a great stat no doubt hopefully we can continue that trend

He played a series or two as a replacement for Mewhort 

I think

He came back the next series

[PrincetonTiger]

Some of the OL issues were because of ST holding the ball too long

[Bluesmith]

The catch by Moncrief was awesome!  He beat his guy then caught the ball at the height of his jump.  Nice throw by Brissett.

I still keep seeing Costanzo getting beat. Dont know when or how we address him. Overall I didnt really feel like the line was all that awful. Especially under the circumstances. They certainly weren't as bad as Houston to me.

[MTC]

Goes to show you that stopping the run provides little impact overall. Secondary play and pass rush are more important. 

[gacoop1]

If you lose that big, there are no positives.  Positives only apply when you've won.  All the positives belong to the Rams.

[krunk]

Brissett has a Cannon

The OL play is hard to evaluate because of the QB play

[scooter4910]

Any positives?....maybe all those old-timey, so called experts who told us we were prematurely panicking or didn't really understand football will now back off. They were wrong....the 2017 Colts look like a dumpster fire.

 

Wish Andrew and Pat were here

[Luck 4 president]

Run D was good. Now we know who our long term backup QB probably is. That's about it.

I know every Pats fan I talk to says we got a heck of a QB

If the O had played better the D wouldn't have struggled since they were out there too l Ng and have of the points came dir Calhoun from O mistakes

[krunk]

I think they are going to be forced into designing a limited offense for Brissett. Dont know how they do it, but we have no chance with Scott.I almost never speak in extremes or absolutes but that's where I'm at right now. There's no evidence Chuck or Ballard can offer me to think Tolzien will work out.

Arizona, aside from Peterson, apparently have a weak secondary from what I've hear. Heck even Peterson got torched today against Detroit. If that's the case, our receivers have to find ways to get open to make Brissett's job easier. And some support from the O line would be great (although they weren't as bad today as they usually are).

Plus David Johnson might not play next week. I expect the Colts to control AZ's run game at home.

Adjusting the playbook will not be that hard just start with the basic PB and add too it what JB knows or handles it he best

 Example from my HS days 

  We ran a very complicated Wing T O and the HC would add to the PB according to who he had available

This is assuming the staff makes any changes at all. Theres a decent likelihood they start Scott again knowing them. I hope to God theres an alternative.

We will do that when they give us something positive to talk about until then season is over we are a dumpster fire.
