Omg stop with the Kelly stuff. We can’t lose this game and we have no idea what Kelly can do. That’s is a dumb comment. Hoyer is a veteran who had won games in this league.

Wish that was an option, gotta love when posters who don't know what they are talking about get exposed, and the dolphins are the one who helped expose them bahahaha


I like when I smell Troll! And you definitely smell like one.

Only you would call “thinking you know more than Reich/Ballard” silly personal rhetoric.    Because you know it closes down some of the sillier posts that are made.   And you’d know this because you’ve made some of those silly posts.   You’re dismissive of anything you don’t agree with.

 

Everyone is entitled to your opinion.  

Those are two separate things. Your personal rhetoric is your frequent drama filled put downs of other posters whom views you dismiss. 

 

I'm more than happy to debate with facts/stats. When folks fall back on the same old "xxx" and anecdotal stuff in the face of facts/stats, I really don't need to be dismissive...

Do you ever stop and think Zach’s job was to block and he wasn’t part of the passing game plan to start the season.  Then when he had the game against Atlanta and TY went out he showed what he can do and since then they have made him the focal point of the offense. Get over it Denver has a great secondary. We weren’t going to do much in the passing game. 

I'm not talking about plays that he stayed in to block. We're talking about passing route plays (for Pascal). Denver does have a good secondary, but there were plenty of guys open that weren't seen. It's that simple.

In the ATL game, on both of Pascal's catches...he was the first read...so of course JB saw him...because he was starting at him (and he was wide open).

 

Those were great play calls from Reich that took advantage of ATL's weaknesses...and great execution from JB and Pascal. But ATL's pass defense is atrocious...so it's not always going to be that easy.

On the TD to the right, pretty sure the shallow sideline was his first read. I give him props for seeing Pascal, but it was punch-you-in-nose obvious blown coverage. The 35 yarder I do think was the first read, but was also blown coverage. And yes, ATL was horrible.

Just IMO...but pump-faking to the shallow sideline was an intentional move to get the LB to bite and then throw it over his head to Pascal...who was the first read. It was a great playcall by Reich...and ran perfectly.

Cain, who was considered partly a "deep specialist" (and also not great at possession type routes) in college, would have probably helped in today's Reich Air Raid game plan.

That was my point.  You got Hoyer out here spraying passes (& interceptions) all over the field...  Maybe you should have kept the big bodied receiver if you're gonna have Hoyer just throwing deep shots all game.  But Johnson caught 1 catch: which shamefully is probably just as many catches as Cain has had the last month...

Figured this would happen.  It's where he needs to be if he's not ready.

Same place where Fountain was for most of last year.  Hopefully he puts

it all together enough to get back on the regular roster.

Ho Hum.  That says a lot. 

 

What says a lot to me is they waive him to activate Marcus Johnson. They had to feel he was not developed enough to contribute to their or another teams 53. Also seems to say they would not be too "upset" if they did lose him.

 

I mean this is different than something like having 2 safeties hurt and needing to add another to play the game. But they swapped him out for another WR that is at best a fringe player.

 

BTW... I am glad he is back on our PS . It wouldn't be crazy if he developed into a good 3# WR.

    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.      
    • In a year when the Colts were in serious need of a QB and in position to draft one, Ballard came up in front of the media 3 days before the draft and straight up said something to the effect of "That guy everybody in media is talking about(Levis), we are not taking him". I don't know why you think the Colts are trying to throw us off the scent this year specifically. They are not trying to give us away the pick(thus the vagueness), but I also don't really think they are trying to mislead anybody. This usually becomes specifically apparent in retrospect after the draft when you look back at a lot of those quotes in the videos they release pre-draft... and they were talking precisely about players we ended up drafting, which they reveal in the post-draft video by extending some of those quotes(they did that with AR last year for example).    And about why people are doing it(guessing who they are talking about) - because it is fun. Nobody has the illusion that we will be right in our guesses 100% of the time... or anywhere close really... but it's still fun. And it's part of why the Colts release those videos with those quotes - to create engagement with the fanbase... part of which, and the entirety of which that 70 pages thread and whole board is about in the offseason. is to guess who the Colts might take and how they might feel about specific prospects.
    • Sir, I was just trying to help you out. No good deed goes unpunished! 
    • Not the least bit surprised to hear from you at this moment.   You see me in an uncomfortable conversation (with a moderator no less) and you seize the moment to take a shot at me.  And you try to act like you’re giving me a sincere explanation of what you’re doing.   Like you have an ounce of credibility with me.      This is not the first time you’ve done this.  While I may not be surprised, I’m certainly disappointed.
