JB is garbage today?  Really??  What game are you watching??

he's not special either tho? hes just lucky the titans have a horrendous pass D and are leaving every WR open at least 3 yards

[ColtsSouljah]

Can we please stopping running the ball on EVERY 2nd and 10???

[LuckyHorseShoe§]

Why do we always run on second and long and set up JB for third and long?

[stitches]

Despite the horrible throw, I've actually liked Brissett in this game more than in most other games. I actually think it's one of his strongest ones for whatever that means... Seems like he took a lot of what he had trouble with in last game and worked on it this week and made some completions that needed to be made. 

 

edit: with that said, he's been pretty bad when blitzed. He can't seem to process things quickly enough and make a decision to either throw it away or seek his checkdown. 

[LuckyHorseShoe§]

Wonderful three and out, good lord. This is just pathetic right now

Oh, I definitely agree he's not special, but nowhere near garbage today.  Last week, well...

[CobraKai344]

Nice block Wilkins!  Complete breakdown there 

[Jackie Daytona]

JB does seem to have been determined to erase the mistakes of last week, and I like the guy, he's just not good enough

yeah he's at his comfortable level of average like usual basically 

[Colts1324]

Losing a lot of faith in Reich. He is not that great of a play caller. He's above average, but that's it. He runs on 2nd and LONG 9 out of 10 times. We gain 2-3 yards, and we have a low percentage chance of getting a first down. 
 

It's pathetic.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I have seen on 3 different occasions where we haven't picked up the blitz where someone is just running free to hit JB, what is up with that?

[cgi4life]

I think Jacoby is the answer or atleast wait another season with healthy receivers.  He is not Peyton or Andrew, he needs a more balanced team and better talent to succeed.   Atleast give the kid another year before you guys calling his trash.  We the fan have to get use to winning differently.  Relax allow this team to grow and find themselves. 

[Jackie Daytona]

This team needs to figure it out fast though, either have a plan to end up with a QB as the future, or bottom the * out for a year so you can draft one....mediocrity at QB is a miserable place to be

[LuckyHorseShoe§]

I’ve never seen a Colts team where the D has to pull the O’s butts out of the fire

[Fisticuffs111]

Good stop, D. Let's try to get this momentum back.

Reich? How bout the guy running the plays..... Reich did t forget how to call a game, JB just has zero awareness or ability to anazlye and adjust on the fly.

exactly that was my biggest fear this year was stuck in QB mediocrity....

They’re rotating out backs a lot so the guys can’t get comfortable in pass protection

They should ALL be comfortable doing it!

[Jackie Daytona]

It should be obvious to anyone looking at the playcalls as a whole this

 year, that they don't trust Brissett to make many plays at all.  There's a reason we run on third and long a lot.... It's not because Frank is an * all of a sudden....

[Mr.Debonair]

What is Hines doing

I agree plus we don’t have our best running back and we are missing some key players. He does need to be better. Though and not make dumb plays  

[MB-ColtsFan]

From the 3 or 4 yrd line?  Really??  LET IT GO!!

The reason is we have street guys at WR, I agree.

[LuckyHorseShoe§]

Good lord, someone block the blitz, it’s not that hard

[Fisticuffs111]

Struggling to stop this blitz. Running game's not getting much going. Titans calling a good game on defense recently.

That's part of it, yes.

[Nancy]

Why isn't Williams in the game running the ball?  We'll be lucky to get a win today with all the stupid mistakes/penalties!

Yep.  We could always count on Andrew tossing a head scratcher every few games.

So what I’ve seen so far from JB, he still isn’t looking off from many of his first reads and half the time it opens the other half it doesn’t.  So you can as a defense just flow to wherever he looks first because he isn’t turning his head. And then the stupid pick. Despite his good plays, and there have been some, his bad plays are far more than the good. He just isn’t a good qb. How long can a QB hold the ball before a coach understands he needs to add in quicker passes vs longer development plays. I’m so frustrated watching JB wait for his guy to come open and ignoring the other side. 

[Dasteez]

Offense needs to step it up if we’re going to win this one. Come on Jacoby make some plays.

To his defense, he's not working with much.  He's working with all backups against a good defensive front.  Back up caliber QB, WRs, RBs and a kicker who can't get it done.  I don't know if many coaches could do much with this current offense.

Brissett is a homeless mans alex smith

Frank clearly disputed that against Houston when he said the recievers were open. 

[jameszeigler834]

Time to bench Brissett.

Not making excuses, just repeating what the guys on the broadcast said

[Maniac]

This is what you get when you start a backup

For Brian Hoyer? you must not have watched the Miami game...

I would say this current lineup is worse off.

Yeah as much as I'm not a fan of JB, definitely NOT time for Hoyer!

His reads look better this game.  Maybe because his first read is actually open more.

 

Where I have seen good progress today is that he is actually releasing the ball instead of tucking it and running.  I think that's in response to your mention of holding the ball too long.  He's learning to trust his receivers.  Maybe he's making progress?  I don't know, but he is definitely better this game than the last couple.  He has a long way to go, but I do see him making progress.
