mmm the only one on the market i would've taken over Rivers was Brady... but man I wish we got Brady

Brady looked bad last year when he didn't have weapons.  Not sure how much better he would be doing here...

[coach kline]

Let's get hurt for garbage points. This is nuts

[coming on strong]

what i dont get is if frank kicked a field goal we have the ball here with a chance to tie it with a two point play .   Instead he calls a deep drop on 4th and inches

Yeah, that was pretty dumb!

[coming on strong]

i never knew rivers struggled so bad in a two minute offense . he takes so long to go to the next play , its such a slow pace .

[Aces101]

At least Pagano could chop some wood.

No he'll try harder next week

How can y’all blame Taylor more than Rivers?  That’s ridiculous. Fine give them the 7 off the fumble. Phillip is supposed to score more than 10 points. He’s had many throws that were hideous. Couple fair catch interceptions. He’s neck & neck with Frank for the blame. Then Taylor. 

Couple fair catch interceptions?

 

I honestly believe half of you don't even watch the games.  Just wait to see if we lose and then blame Rivers.  What a joke.

Team is still a tier or 2 under KC, Pitt, Bal, and Tenn

I would say Buffalo and Cleveland Are above the Colts as well 

[IndyEric07]

Doesnt Reich or Rivers realize that dink and dunking doesnt work if you dont have any rb/wr/te that can get any YAC!

[coming on strong]

rivers pick cost the game it took the energy out of the team along with jt fumble .  the colts cost themselves the game . 14 points on turnovers that is the game .

I think it's definitely safe for Frank to catch heat. He's proving to be a very up and down play caller as has been stated at times over the last couple seasons.

He's overly conservative a lot, fails to adjust, doesn't attack weaknesses, gets stubborn....

And I'd add today he kept JT in the doghouse way to long, and then wants to run it late in the 4th down two possessions.

 

Just plain horrible.

sorry guys maybe next year it will be okay we have a good young core just need a new number 1 wr and a QB . hopefully eason is that guy , there is zero chance ballard re signs rivers so at least we have a fresh start .   i am excited about our future

Does Ballard keep Frank?  That’s the question.

Exactly. The real issues that have made the Offense look bad is Run game regression (both due to o-line play and poor RB play), injuries affecting skill positions and Ballards refusal to add any talent from FA market to address it.

[coming on strong]

lamar with 150 passing yards all week on espn they will crown him the goat .  

[Aces101]

This desperation to score points is a bad look. Dumb running the ball, spiking balls, etc down 14 points with 15 seconds left.

his play calling is so bad , ballard needs to make him give it up .   the colts were throwing the ball at will the first half frank made 3 drives stall by forcing the run .

so drops, horrible game plan and play calling, zero adjustments on either side, the D collapsing the 2nd half, a horrible call on the INT... 

 

none of that had anything to do with it. 

 

got it.

We can still get to 9 wins and make the playoffs so the sky isn't falling people. I can see us beating the Jags, Texans twice, Raiders, - that is 9 right there. 

This, it is funny people come out in droves when we lose, when we win it is crickets in here. By the way the Ravens were favored in this game so it is not shocking we lost.

He should.

 

Frank is a good guy to have as Head Coach.

 

He just needs to leave the play-calling to Sirianni.  And if it's still bad, replace Sirianni with someone that can call plays and make adjustments.

[coming on strong]

its not all on rivers , rivers played solid in the first half .  Its a combo of bad play calling young average wrs and a older QB who is not the same player anymore .

I’d like to try that. But I don’t think Frank would give it up. He was under Peterson who did both and won it all. I figure he’d like to do the same.

Rivers' "pick" was an  incomplete pass that was successfully defended by Johnson, was called that way on the field but was erroneously ruled an interception after Harbaugh challenged.

people are upset when the offense scores 10 points when the ravens have practice squad players in at corner and linebacker out . plus they lost there defensive tackle and corner during the game .   the offense has to be better then this , its okay to talk about the flaws of the team .   If it bothers you that much take a break , the colts can still be in first thursday with a win .

[DontEverGiveUp]

Even the ESPN video caption is "Somehow this was an INT for Peters"

Just plain horrible.

I’m not jumping off the cliff over Frank. But his play calling is highly suspect. He just looks so predictable; conservative, and unimaginative. 
He has to up his game big time Thursday. No excuses.

they changed the rules according the the head ref from new york after the dez catch

Exactly!  If that’s the case then Reich and maybe Ballard need to be canned ASAP.  Ball game 

Ballard is amazing, keep him. Reich is a great leader, but sucks at playcalling. I want Eberflus delivered to the dumpster behind LOS pronto

so rivers has no blame ?  every one on offense played bad not just rivers , but you have to admit rivers made a ton of poor throws .  he almost had 3 picks .

He needs to stop calling plays.

Hopefully Eberflus is gone after this season; so much talent on D, wasted by vanilla playcalling with no blitzes

It doesn't bother me at all, it is just comical how some think we should win every week. Some have never heard of our team having an off game I guess. No big deal, have at it with the others. In reality it was the turnovers that swung the entire game and that last turnover wasn't even an INT.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Reich is such a bad playcaller. Something would one week then abandon it the next week. He does not know how to maximize his players. It doesn’t help that we have a QB who can’t be a playmaker. Our defense just got worn down the second half because the offense couldn’t stand on the firks. That interception after that fumble was the worst play call I have ever seen. Never should of called the play but the ref made a bad call. The Taylor fumble and that call cost us the game. We don’t have the fire power to overcome mistakes like that. What happened using Hines at WR. We will lose Thursday too. TY might of helped this game. It might of opened things up a little.

This ^

I like Reich as a head coach, but the man just cannot call plays to save his life. Honestly, why isn’t Sirianni calling plays?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Did we even blitz? That is bad if we didn’t with as bad as Jackson has been against the blitz. But this goes on the offense. The defense just got tired because the offense could stay on the field.

its not because of a lose though . its the way the offense played 10 points with todays rules is bad .   the defense is amazing still , but it feels like last year with jacoby .   jacoby had a couple 300 yard multiple touchdown games also .   i didnt mean to hurt your feelings its how i honestly feel the offense is holding the team  back .   there is still much season left to play but the problem is to win the division the colts are gonna have to go 11-5 and they already lost 3 games . its gonna be hard when the steelers are winning the division and the two teams the colts would have to fight already beat them . its a tough uphill fight and losing thursday can be the fork in it .

"Almost had 3 picks"?

 

You could say that about every QB every game.  Get real man.
