They aren't tanking

[CobraKai344 119]

Honestly I think we’re at best a .500 team with rivers as our QB...I’m also not sold on Reich and Ballard.  Yes we’ve had good draft classes but we’ve been to the playoffs once since that tandem took over.  I think signing rivers was a horrid idea when we could have had newton or anyone else for much cheaper

Reich is so overrated by our fanbase.

[Shafty138 1,318]

T.O.P. gonna be ugly again.... wth are we stuck with this defensive philosophy and when will we actually play a qb who allows us to utilize the entire playbook.....

[John Waylon 1,625]

Next time he drops back to pass we should just pick Burrow up and carry him down the field. Make it a little more difficult for him. 

[bananabucket 131]

Lol wide open

So far, it’s not been on Rivera’s yet.  D can’t cover and Doyle can’t catch a ball to save his life this season

ballard is playing chess , not checkers.  watch when we get a elite QB next year

[Nesjan3 607]

I have zero faith in this soft zone d. Good qbs shred. Rookie Joe burrow shredding. Zero pressure, how many times has this guy been sacked?

[JlynRN 289]

Where is our defense?

[bestQBever 566]

wow.. how did nobody on our team show up to play

[SR711 166]

This is pathetic.

 

Eberflus has no understanding of his own scheme apparently and the role pressure plays in pass defenses 

[IndyEric07 82]

Colts defense heads are down like theyve already lost!

[Mr.Debonair 1,664]

Love that Flus zone Defense baby

Yeah, it's Philip's fault that Doyle fumbled the 1st time he was targeted

[DEColtsLover36 822]

Yikes

[Shafty138 1,318]

Gonna be a short season at any rate if we're gonna ride or die with this qb play and an up and down D.....

Who out there is honestly better that’s available? And don’t say the trash can from New England. That guy’s a tool.

[CobraKai344 119]

Rivers is done and I think Reich is done as well.  I mean we’re paying Brissett 20 million to do nothing!

[John Waylon 1,625]

Moore nearly let Mixon get that one.

Yep

[RollerColt 2,294]

I think the virus scare messed us up this weekend.

Not saying we should fire him.

And philips fault that the defense allowed two drives right down the field.

do you really think Rivers is capable of taking this team to a super bowl?  Not even a chance

[Shafty138 1,318]

Only silver lining I can cling to is, the idea that Jim is not gonna be happy watching this same train wreck over and over.....

Weak.

[JlynRN 289]

welp, this is going to be a loooong day.

[MTC 1,581]

Not what I expected to start the game, but still... not panicking. 

[John Waylon 1,625]

lets be honest the whole team is overrated by the fan base.  i said it before the season the team is still two full years of good drafting and free agent pick ups of being a real playoff team.      by beating up on 1-9 teams three straight weeks went to every  ones head .   Colts are a 7-9 team  i even overrated them

Look at the Titans though. They have been in a covid scare the past 2 weeks it feels like and they went out and dominated a top 5 team.

Defense wouldn’t even get us close playing like this.

[ColtsBlueFL 4,347]

Down 2 TD's already, and they get the ball 2nd half.

 

[GoColts8818 4,230]

Anyone that still thinks this defense is elite has bluest of “rose” colored glasses ever invented.

If the guys he throws it to can catch and the defense can stop someone once, yeah I do.

Agreed. 

[coming on strong 968]
