Colts @ Jaguars Game Day Thread

[Jackie Daytona]

Its weird that the Jacksonville fans travel as well as it seems the last week of the year..... Or is LOS just devoid of Colts.fans today....

[Colts_Fan12]

a jags win and a better pick is still in reach lol

[Fisticuffs111]

Ah, at risk of JB bashing, he actually did have Johnson ahead of his defender in that flea flicker type play.

No.  He sucks, has sucked, continues to suck, and until they get someone else, it will be a mindless reputation, by the team, QB, and fans....lol. 

 

I'm his harshest critique, but would love for him to light it up, make crisp throws, read the d, call audibles, and go through his progressions..... For the last two quarters.

Have fun being negative. Hey it's a forum so say he sucks 1000 times. At this point I who should care really.  . Some have a weird definition of sucking. To me sucking is Curtis Painter for example.

that's one hell of a kicker 

I agree, he's a good addition.

 

Not taking anything away from Vinnie.  He was the best we ever had!

[SouthernIndianaNDFan]

Why does Marlon look like Gale Sayers some weeks and a 3rd string JV High School player in others? I'm honestly perplexed.

It's the scheme.  Outdated. Eberflus isn't Reich guy.   I would make a change like KC did last season and now their D is coming around.  Absolutely hate this scheme.  Good QB eat our lunch. 

Scheme doesn't seem to be able to adapt to not having stud PR.....that's the biggest issue I have with it, seems like it's impossible or hard to disguise coverages or blitz outside of 23

Some teams sell out to stop the run. And some teams, like the Jags this year, can’t even stop the run when they know it’s coming.

If Ron Rivera doesn’t get a HC job, we’ve got to look at him for DC, IMO

[Wyldhorsefan]

Good news. Colts are winning at this point and the Patriots still lost today. So as of right now, all is good.

Which weeks did he flame out against other than top flight run defenses? Honest ?  I can't remember..... He struggled more once teams found out our best passing game option was a lateral....it seemed anyway

[Fisticuffs111]

But Mack has done a good job IMO this year. His vision is solid and he breaks a lot more tackles.

[LockeDown]

Marlon Mack has been pretty darn good.

Hadn't thought of that, but I'd be down for that.  I know Carolina used to run 3/4, not real sure we would want to shift gears yet again on d..... But I thought Rivera was a 4/3 guy originally for some reason.....must be remembering buddy Ryan days, not 4-3

Can't argue with that lol.

 

Just seems to me like some weeks he's stuff arming dudes to the ground, hitting holes with authority, and elite looking, and in other games he seems average at best...idk, maybe it's all in me head, mate.

mack is fine he will be great once we have an actual passing threat 

[Thunderbolt]

I've thought of this and echoed the same thing, the D has regressed not creative, proactive and aggressive in so many levels.  Flus just regressed as well, the D appears not motivated, could be part of not making the playoffs nothing motivates them to play for the prize....Sad!!

Yes, but he is going to have his pick of at least 2 head coaching  jobs imo.

Panthers do run a 4-3 but Rivera coached a 3-4 with the Chargers and 4-3 with Bears, he’s done it all

Most players don't like playing in this scheme.  

[chad72]

Even Brissett would throw for 300 yards against our D scheme

The only problem is that it is not all on eberflus. Ballard want this scheme

[chad72]

RYS PI again???

I agree and that is funny but true. Rock with another Pass Interference. He has had a rough year.

Very very touchy

[Moosejawcolt]

K...I am done.  This D is getting worse with each game and is not showing any signs of getting better. 

[chad72]

OMG, our D???

[SouthernIndianaNDFan]

Cover the receiver in motion? Nahhh

[coltfaninnewyork]

Elberfus should be let go this is a utter disgrace 

[coltfaninnewyork]

Scheme is trash, look at jets no talent and injuries and d way better 

[MPStack]

Minshew looks good for a rookie. 

[rockywoj]

The defence is looking pretty darn ineffective, again.

[James]

A loss will give the Colts a better draft position.

 

A win win situation this.

This was Josh McDaniels pick as DC. He needs to make a change.  Jags have been inept on offense for weeks.  

[Dogg63]

We've kept it close all season, might as well keep it close again today. Young team that can't seem to get out of its own way. Next year should be quite a bit better.

[Moosejawcolt]

Yup and everyone is crying for wr as our 1st pick. U also get called out for Ballard's picks on D. I can see a change in the off season 

[Wyldhorsefan]

D looked ok last week. This week not so much.
