I don't think our defense is playing as bad as people are saying, it's been a combination of amazingly lucky catches and no pass rush. We haven't let them run the ball which is their strength and coverage hasn't been bad it's just no coverage can last when the pass rush is nonexistent

Rivers and passing game is going to be key in this game 

Yup. I think most expected he'd half the play instead of manage this game. Hopefully Reich let's him play early, instead of waiting till it's too late. I don't want come-from-behind-Rivers.

Rushing 3 and 4 isn’t really doing us any good. 
 

Though I have to be honest: I’m worried how bad it would get if we scarified coverage to rush more...

They should blitz Oke, because he's been a liability in coverage.

Does Eberflus have any blitzes in his game plan? 

 

If so, might be a good idea to break them out on some of these obvious passing situations.  

 

Pass D is a complete disaster right now and I am not going to attribute it solely to injuries

"was" is the key word. Has the worst QB rating allowed on the team IIRC. He's never been great vs the run (except on the edge), but his struggles vs the pass this year are a huge head scratcher.

Yea.  I thought his weakness was supposedly to b against the run.

The problem I see with blitzing is where to do it?  Baker's strengthis rolling out.  Seems more likely that a corner blitz should be dialed up to keep some containment.

pass rush is the most important part of the defense .  getting zero pressures all game is bad defense .  having 3 wide open passing plays on 3 broken coverage is bad defense .   yes some plays have been tight catches but at least 7 were wide open

    • My SB pick (just AFC rep vs NFC rep) on DraftKings, from before the season started, is different than the two I mentioned above for the thread starter. If I reveal it here, it won't happen, like Dr. Strange with his 1 possibility.    I will reveal it before the SB, whether it happens or not.  
    • I don't find it surprising either. I think the poll doesn't mean that the Colts front office is bad, but it does mean that other NFL executives and coaches don't view the Colts front office as better than average. That's what I think the Colts front office is -- average, and winning should be the key measure. The team has been, on the whole, average during Ballard's tenure. It is an exactly average team so far this season, 2-2, 85 points scored, 85 points allowed.    I'd like the Colts front office and the team to be considerably better than average. That seems obvious. You can talk about a wide variety of reasons that the Colts aren't among the consistent winners all you want, but it's Ballard's job to make them a consistent winner, and eight years in, he's not getting it done.    Yet, we have threads like this one that are intended to bash the "Forum GMs" who are critical of the front office and the team. Apparently, because EJ Speed and some of the other Colts are at least average-ish players. WTH? Shouldn't we expect more than that? 
    • A realist would say jags stink? 😁   In "Real Time" observations with real time outcomes are what make my takes on this situation a Realist point of view.   Come on. You may want to not give up on this player yet. You make think my trading him is an overreaction. Actually, I agree with you about my assessment of trading him. It is an overreaction to want to trade him so early because I so want him to be our franchise, but it stems from not wanting to get hosed in the backend for not acting upon what seems clearly obvious at this point. The obvious being that this kid doesn't look like he is going to be able to ever give an NFL team a full complete and consistent season for whatever reason and yes, that is what we all have seen in 9 games including you. Do you need 10 games? How about 17 as the Panthers did with young. How many games are too many to wait until we make a move because by then it might be too late. You stated 3 years. That's a long time considering how many years this team has been struggling now.   I truly hope I'm wrong about this guy. I will be the first to eat major crow if I am. All I know is when anyone gets compared to Cam Newton you run a gazillion miles in the opposite direction and our BrainTrust decided to sink their own ship based on what "could be" in terms of his talent when they already knew what it could be and that was Cam Newton and Cam Newton was a terrible QB. Nuff said.
    • I’m going with the odds. AR has ability beyond anything the league has really seen before. Still, QBs fail way more than they succeed. AR is super raw and unpolished so needs a lot of playing time to see if he will develop.   Unfortunately that takes time to figure out.  I doubted he would succeed when we drafted him and I see nothing yet that has changed my mind. The organization and staff are behind him and will give AR every chance to become a franchise QB. I hope it all works out but I strongly doubt it.
