Winning by 20, lets dwell on something.

 

Pretty typical around here.

Another sack from Lewis

He just needs time. Coming from a very different system. He'll get his timing down. The over-rotation of RBs hasn't helped that development either.

not sure about the “over-rotation”... Hines and Wilkins both played excellent today. I like the rotation. Keep these guys fresh and let JT learn without pressure of being an every down back.

I mean with this years lack of preseason, to learn our offense and a new running style its gonna take time. I also believe they are limiting his carries so he doesn't hit the rookie wall.

We have to give JT, Pittman, and Campbell time to see the field and develop before we make too many judgment's about Frank's play calling, IMO.  The plan is to have their skills on the field at the same time.  Lets see what happens when the plan actually executes.

[Wyldhorsefan]

Well I missed a lot. My nonfootball watching buddy decided to show up for a brief visit.

D padding those sack stats. 

Nothing wrong with that.. They can prevent it..

[Zoltan]

Lewis is looking good today with 2 sacks

Big day for this Defensive line. They have disrupted the game and have been in Stanford’s mind all day.

[bluebombers87]

Looks like offense is gonna have to get a couple of firsts to close it out.

Hines play distribution should be about 75/25 pass/run.  Its been the opposite since day 1.  We can still line him up in the backfield and throw to him in pattern.  His receiving should then set up his running.  JMO.

Typical but you know how it is. HotRod hasn't missed an ex point all year, just an off day. Do you know what is wrong with Taylor?

[Smoke317]

Bengals beating Titans means we can put a stranglehold on the division over the next month by sweeping Tennessee. 

[Valpo2004]

Concussion?

You must set boundaries

I think what he means is instead of coming in for only one run, then subbing out for another RB, give him a full series. When you’re not playing full time, it’s going to limit how good you can be and learn. 

[RollerColt]

Let's hold them to a FG.

Hope Rock’s okay

[bluebombers87]

Late flag. Bad form.

Tenn won't die!

Hines has not run the ball well. He's caught the ball well. Wilkins has run well, but it's to the edge, and late between the Ts as usual. 

If you look at our RB snaps and rushing attempts (not catches), we've over rotated vs most teams. I'm sure he had a slow plan to bring JT along before Mack went down, and is just trying to stick to it as much as possible.

I dont think he is hurt. Just Hines and Wilkins playing better today.

Yeah my non football liking friend would of been watching football today.

[RollerColt]

Big 3rd down. 

[Indyfan4life]

Hall didn’t even look for the ball and it hit him in the head. There’s no way that could be PI. 

[bluebombers87]

Holy flesh wound Stafford!

[PrincetonTiger]

Stafford is bleeding like a stuck pig

Are you seriously calling Taylor that? 

 

Taylor is barely a replacement level player at this point.

[Smoke317]

Depending on how bad Dublin’s injury is, could we be bring back Fountain?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Ok we got a second chance, meaning 5-2 again. Lets not screw this up. Teams that start 5-2 make the playoffs 75% of the time. We are playing a heavy weight next week.

Lol, okay. Whatever you say.

I think we won this one guys.

Packer losing too with 2min to go and MN has the ball.

[Valpo2004]

You know I never thought about that but I think we have a pretty good TE group considering none of them were drafted.

Only worries I have are health at WR.  Nothing to complain about in this game otherwise.

Same here, TY could be done. He just isn't the same without Luck IMO.

I think you're right. I was converted a Indy fan because of Mack but was all aboard the Taylor train after MM went down. But Jesus man, he can't find a hole if it had hair around it...

Weak take.  He's not much yet for sure, bit that means nothing going forward.  If he's struggling to this level next year? Yeah I'm starting to talk bust, with as easily RB skill translates to NFL.... Just because you bought into the hype, doesn't mean he was ever going to fulfill it, and he still may.

Colts win
