Here’s what I saw today: positives: Paye and Dayo played well i think the pass blocking was much better today (I’ll get to the run blocking in my negatives). I think Fries should be the starter at right guard right now. It wasn’t perfect but it was a far cry from what we saw last week. A lot of the game Ryan had time to throw. Outside of sack fumble (I’ll get to that in my negatives) Ryan looked really good today. Probably the most comfortable he’s been in the offense since he’s been here. I am not counting the INT against him that was just fluke play. He finally made a team sell out against the run every down. Guys other than Pittman performed in the pass game. Pierce looks like a good pick. All three tightends had nice days. Woods follows up last weeks effort with a big catch. Granson had his first pretty good offensive game of his career. Then Mo had a career day. Dulin and Campbell also had some nice catches. Maybe these guys are starting to figure it out. The second half defense was really good and what we expected to see most of this year. Negatives: That was the worst run blocking I’ve seen since the rolling block of butcher knives was here. Just inexcusable for what they are paying them and the fact the Titans were the worse run defense in the league coming in. The play calling did them no favors (I’ll come back to that) but still that was embarrassing. Ryan keeps talking about how he has to protect the ball but keeps failing to do so. Stop saying what you are going to do and do it. He’s too experienced to be making those mistakes. His timing is still off with relievers. The passes in the endzone to Pittman and he had one on the sidelines to Pierce where you could tell it’s still off but it is getting better. If that was the only issue I could live with it, Special Teams had a rare bad day at the office. Another really badly missed field goal, a poor punt when you could have pinned them deep, no return game (in fairness that’s more credit to the Titans new punter than it is Hines fault), and giving up bigger returns than normal. Gus Bradley’s first half defense fits a pattern we’ve seen way too often under Frank Reich. Sleep walk through a half of football and then comeback and play lights out in the second half and try to come roaring back. Too many penalties. None were back breakers but those are signs of an undisciplined team and that goes back to coaching. Why is Facyson on this roster let alone starting or playing over Rodgers? Now the big giant elephant in the room. The coaching. Once again big divisional game once again a flat start. We’ve now seen this in the last four division games the Colts have played. I get sticking with the run and I get wanting to run behind Nelson. I really do but when it’s ALL you do when you run the ball even I can’t figure out that’s what you are going to do and stop it. Look at how the Titans used Henry. They were getting him outside once in a while then coming back to the middle to keep you honest. They also used this thing called the play action pass. The Colts offense just looks so predictable. It’s like the same three or four plays every game and they call the same plays in the same predicament everytime. I get not wanting to go away from the run but when you just smash Taylor into the back of Nelson on first down everytime teams know that’s coming. Mix it up run a play action out of it once in a while heaven forbid you fake a handoff to Taylor and pitch it to Hines or something or heaven forbid you try to get Taylor on the edge. All I heard all week on local radio was how this was a good match up for the Colts and a chance to get right and I was just thinking I don’t think so. The titans have the better coach and once again they showed it today. I get the sentiment in saying I’ve seen enough of Frank. I have too. I could be wrong, because Irsay keeps talking about these big games and Frank keeps losing them, but I don’t think Irsay fires Frank tomorrow. There is just little upside to it right now. I don’t think John Fox or Gus Bradley is going to make this team better. In fact I think they could make them worse which is a scary thought. I do think Frank is going to have to win the division or have a deep playoff run to save this job though. While we have seen this slow start to a season movie from the Colts under Frank before and he normally does get them going I think the Owner is going to run out patience this time unless Frank clears a big hurdle he hasn’t cleared before and that’s looking less and less likely. So those that want him fired have patience. I think you will get your wish at seasons end. -

Probably wants to keep Reich, and let him be GM too. ??
