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

Drew Brees looks happy on TV. Glad he seems to be enjoying retirement

Insult to injury you’re down that much AND they get the ball back after halftime. 

[coming on strong]

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 .

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.

Yeah, I've never liked him.

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.

[Coltsman1788]

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. Titans looking like one of the top tier teams of the NFL.

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...

Simmons >> Buckner 

 

Buckner should be having games like this given he is paid $21 million a year. Simmons makes the entire DLINE better

Good point. Buckner has been very average this year.

The dude talked crap about Andrew Luck of all people. How do you talk trash about the Mr. Rodgers of the NFL?

Yep. One of the main reasons I started hating him.

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. 

[Happy2BeHere]

Colts unfortunately won’t be contenders this year. Too much uncertainty in the AFC and I don’t believe the Colts are better than all the other afc teams vying for a spot.

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.

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. 

[NFLfan]

What number is Peterson wearing? I thought it was 28 but I heard it was McNichols.

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

Sorry I meant INT. My fault.

#8, I think.

Rams getting it together on this drive.  Looking good.

Haven’t seen Cooper Kup much tonight. 

[MB-ColtsFan]

That's a nice toss by Stafford.

About time. Let’s go Rams.

Can’t predict injuries. Yea Ben was a bust.

Man seemed like there was a lot of uncertainty to reverse that call.

I have no faith in officiating anymore  

[2006Coltsbestever]

The Titans are getting all kinds of breaks, it is almost comical. 2 gift wrapped INT's and then the Rams guy was out by a millimeter  . Still a lot of football to go. Rams can still win this.

Yeah the ruling was a TD and you really couldn't tell, it was close but everything is going the Titans way all year. Like I said comical.

Agreed, much rather have Wentz throw that pick 6 then take the safety.

[IndySouthsider]

Jesus McVay’s offense makes me nauseous with all the motion.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I am going to  when the Rams come back and win this game. Our best bet is probably getting in as a wildcard anyway.
