Well I just saw him running so! Must have not been as bad. He’s back in the field.

But if they lose, it will be 3 losses with half the season to go. If this was game 15 or 16, I would be more concerned.

ballard needs to learn from jrob how to take your team from 11-5 to elite .  jrob seeing his team as a playoff team but not a contender takes risks in julio autry dupree and that and changes the team to a contender . ballard goes 11-5  dumps his veterans and replaces them with rookies who take time to be good .  ballard lacks the killer drive to take the next step .  he is a good gm but should of set the cap so he could take the next step we need veterans .

Rams defense acting way too cocky. You're losing 21 to 3. 

Well that’s what happens when you have guys like Ramsey on your team. Don’t get me wrong he’s probably the best at his position, but sometimes he’s a detriment with his character.

Everyone wearing a white jersey??

It looks that way, at least.

 

Btw, my older sister celebrated her 55th birthday last Saturday. She and her husband traveled by you. She went to Hilton Head. She loved it. She has been there a few times.

I have to agree. This off-season, we’ll have almost all of our FA locked up for at least another year...we have built in the trenches, we have our franchise RB and franchise QB, now we need to spend in FA to bring in pass rushers, DBs, and maybe another WR. It’s time for Ballard to pull that trigger.

Rams don’t play the Titans often so not familiar with them. It is showing. Colts looked much better against Tennessee in both games than the Rams have so far. 

If we had just been healthy, we could’ve beaten them both times.

 

God I hate the Titans

Not to mention we did have a chance at beating the Rams ourselves. Donald ruined that chance for us though...

My sister lives in Hilton Head.  Not enough beach for me and pretty expensive.  It's nice to play golf and visit, though.

Myrtle Beach is a lot less expensive but everyone and their mother is moving here (as we did years ago).  As of late last year we were the 2nd fastest growing county in the nation.  It's crazy...  A lot of people from the northeast relocate here for retirement.  I think the same for Hilton Head as well.

Wentz actually needed to take the safety because of the clock. 

 

No, if he took the safety, the Titans would get 2 points and get the ball. They would have taken 3 knees and run out the clock.

No one is healthy at this point. Good teams find a way. Look at what Titans are doing tonight without Henry their main weapon. They also did not have both AJ Brown and Julio Jones available at the same time for any of their two wins against the Colts.

Not sure that pass rusher wouldn't be squandered by Flus and his scheme.  It's time for a change.  Offense is close, D has a long way to go.

All the Titans need against us is AJ Brown.. he could take on our whole Secondary and still catch the ball without a defender near him

I have been to Myrtle Beach. It is nice. I enjoyed it. The day I returned to NY, I was meeting a friend at the US Open (Tennis). I think I dropped my bags at home and left to meet my friend. I was dressed for Myrtle Beach, not for evening/night in the stands to watch tennis. I was so cold. haha

Problem with Colts defense is the scheme. Our coverage zone is played too soft. Ballard and Flus are married to it. They won’t change.  However if they insist on playing it then it needs to be a sticky zone meaning that corners stick to receivers like they are playing man once they enter their zone.  That’s how the Jags were playing today against Buffalo.

Lots of teams play zone. Eberflus just isn’t scheming it well.  Punt would of been bad too.

      Any love for the coaching staff?

      By Jared Cisneros · Posted

      I think we'd have 6 or 7 wins with Richardson. As I said, the only difference would be he'd have game experience by now and probably much more developed where we could make a playoff run in his rookie year. Maybe with Taylor healthy all year and playing we'd have 8 wins. We always seem to get the short end of the injury bug.

      2023 Game #12 Colts at Titans, Sunday, December 3rd, 1:00 PM EST

      By Jared Cisneros · Posted

      Rooting for the Colts, but this is a trap game IMO. Taylor is out, we have never played Levis before and he will have motivation to try hard Vs us, The Titans are winless away but undefeated at home and they are playing at home. Grover is still out, and they have Derrick Henry who they will run down our throat.    I feel we will get kept off the field a lot with Henry on the field and Steichen will pass more than he should because Taylor is out.    Hope I'm wrong.

      How is this injury-riddled band of ragamuffins 6-5?  Surely there are more talented teams with less wins?   How much of this "success" (because let's face it, as easy as our schedule has been, winning 6 games by this point in the season is an accomplishment) is because the coaches are busting their humps to get the players fired up to play and doing a good job of maximizing their talents to put them in a position to succeed?   I'd love to see what this staff could do with, for example, a healthy Taylor and Richardson for 16 games, not missing Stewart for 6 games, basically not losing all 4 of their top 4 corners etc.

      College football 2023 thread

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      I think they should leave FSU out. That OSU team was loaded that year and were clearly better than everyone even with their 3rd string QB. I hope it’s Michigan, Washington, Texas and Alabama. Those are the four best teams in my eyes but understand the argument for FSU. It would not surprise me a bit if tv ratings come into play with this decision. College football has become a business and people watch UT and Bama.    Fitting there is this much controversy right before they go to a larger playoff. There are 8 teams that all have a case to be in the playoffs and can win a game. Georgia, Oregon and Ohio State could all easily win 2 games and make the championship. FSU has a great defense and I’m guessing the extra time preparing for the bowl games would help their offense a lot.    On a different note, there is a lot of hate for the SEC bc they win so much. It’s not universal but there is a strong push from some to leave them out this year. I will say this, I don’t think there is a team in this country that can beat Bama and Georgia in back to back games. I think the gap is closing but not quite there yet.

      JT needs to go Leonard effect he’s  always hurt . I’d take a second rd pick just get him out of here . He may come in next year healthy and crush it . I just feel he doesn’t want to be here or play for this team . When Leonard was doing this I said trade him . You can’t get value when they’re washed .
