Yeah man but I think we have the top ranked D in football, and just gave up 17 to Balt.  We get turnovers at a high rate, etc. so sometimes people who think they know football are really not all that knowledgable about it.

 

When it comes down to it East, anyone who's coached at any level knows this profundity:

 

It's not the Xs and the Os, it's the Jimmies and the Joes.

We'll see if the Jimmies and Joes can do the same when their SoS isn't 32nd.

I sure hope they can. I doubt it though.

Getting circular here. Like I said, we haven't played anyone. Our SOS is near the bottom. I'm not happy getting an A+ in remedial reading. Need to be able to grade well in advanced lit as well. 

 

And never blitzing before, doesn't mean blitzing more now, wouldn't help. 

 

BTW, we have no idea what Frank does or doesn't do when it comes to the D. Looking at Flus's background, it's very different. 

Dude you want to complain about the strength of schedule that's fine but they have to play who they have to play....nobody on the colts have say so on who they play for the season and as long they play tough and 100% their best I don't care who the opponent is I'm just glad the effort is there.....it's been said numerous times during interviews that eberflus calls the defensive plays even frank said that himself lol

What did you think of the coaching tonight?

 

Jonathon Taylor has been holding the offense back.  He should not play much.

Look at Taylors carries. When, where, down and distance, etc.. He was mainly up the gut in short yardage obvious situations. If you don't understand the comparative carries between the him and the other backs, I can't help you.

 

The game plan (let Rivers be Rivers) was better today. The play calling in many down and distances was still just bad. Rivers carried us tonight. He was allowed to attack intermediate and deeper than last week (when he was given a ton of first read short shots).

I’ve looked at every carry he’s taken the whole year at least twice.

are they not typically earlier in games when Ds are fresh, more up the gut than our other RBs, and on more obvious running downs? Simple questions......
