Imgrandojji 1,236 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Looked good. Had an accurate night, no picks, 2 TDs, played a large role in leading the team back in the 4th. They didn't exactly turn him loose, I think Reich is still getting a feel for exactly what he can do but personally, I'm encouraged. The stage wasn't too big for him an he led the team to putting up a pretty good fight against a playoff contender.  If the chargers are in the playoff mix, the team that played against them looks like they belonged on the same football field and Brissett was a big part of that both in tangibles and intangibles.    sucks to lose game 1 but it happens, the team is still trying to find its identity and they're going to let a couple go. I think the comeback in the 4th is still a net positive for team chemistry as we work out the kinks in the first few weeks and is gonna matter more than the L on the board by January.

NorthernBlue 3,153 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Those two back shoulder fades to Cain and Funchess back to back near the end of the first half were beauties.  That Charger defense is no joke. Great pass rushers, fast linebackers and rangy corners. Yet Brissett looked calm and poise against them. Link to post Share on other sites
ClaytonColt 511 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Thought he looked efficient and accurate which bodes well for a guy stepping up from back up to starter. Â We aren't going to win many games with under 180 team passing yards though. Even the Jaguar's back up rookie got more than that! Â Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckColtsFan 685 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 That game definitely could have ended in our favour. Were close, im hoping for a solid game against Tennessee. If Brissett plays like that we have a win. Link to post Share on other sites

John Hammonds 1,145 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I agree. He was decisive and accurate, and didn't turn the ball over. He not only put us in a position to win, but was part of the reason why we came back in the 4th quarter. I can't ask anything more of him. He did good today.

John Waylon 3,763 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I’ve been very vocal about my hesitation to buy into Brissett as a long-term answer at QB. I’m still not totally sold, but he earned a whole lot of salt with me today. Very good game from him. Made great throws, good reads, took care of the ball, and did the kinds of things that you want to see your QB do.  His play action sells are especially good, and he was world class when handing off and selling that he hadn’t. Most QBs hand off and just lay out of the play. He continued to drop back and do the footwork and even a few pump fakes.  I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more now. Link to post Share on other sites
jvan1973 18,434 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Imagine how good he would have looked if he had amazing college stats.   I'm sure  Kyler Murry and Baker Mayfield looked great today Link to post Share on other sites

Colt Overseas 701 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Had a beauty of a throw to Ebron, which got ruled incomplete. Ebron should have maintained control of it for the TD, that was another reason we lost the game.  In fairness to Jacoby, he held up his end of the deal today. This loss was definitely not on him.

jvan1973 18,434 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 It felt like Frank didn't trust him to go deep.  Maybe that's just my impression.  The toss to Funchess. In the endzone that he couldn't bring down was a great pass. Ebron should have caught the td. Doyle had one go through his hands and doink off his facemask.  Everyone will get better.  I'm not worried about Jacoby Link to post Share on other sites

a06cc 865 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Didn’t turn the football over. If this reminds I’ll have hope. Special teams and defense need to play better.

In fact I thought Reich was calling a majorly conservative game. I do feel as if it was more of a test game for the staff and getting things lined up and adjusting. Loved that Mack ran for so many yards. Gives me some more confidence in our run game. How many yards? 170+...? That's awesome. I just felt a lack of aggression. Kind of like they have a hangover from losing Andrew and who wouldnt? The offense has to refind its identity. Link to post Share on other sites
