Playoff game day talk

[Gramz]

I jumped on that last hit. WOW

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts aren’t the only one to play soft in 2 minute defense lol.

Jimmy G has such good ball placement where his playmakers can get YAC.. So good.

 

If we want him, I hope he cools off some.  He's playing exactly how we need a QB to play.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That’s a concussion.

What would you give me for Kirk? 

Not sure but he is better than Wentz. He has at least won in the playoffs. He beat Drew Brees at NO in the playoffs. That is 1 QB that I have never said Wentz is better than.

[Fisticuffs111]

Reich mentioned the QB stats he looks at are comp %, YPA, and passer rating. Jimmy G’s numbers are much better than Wentz in all those areas.

 

I just can’t get over the health issue.

Jimmy is underrated, but that is just my opinion. I told Vikings fans  that I would trade Cousins straight up for Jimmy. That did not go well even though many Vikings fans do not have a high opinion of Cousins. 

 

Those new Next Gen metric that measure QBs has Jimmy higher than Cousins, I believe.  @Rhodelesstraveled posted an article about that Next Gen metric. I think it is in the Colts Section.

To me JImmy G and Cousins are in the same tier and also they are very similar play-style wise(Cousins has fewer injury concerns). Both are better than Wentz, but I wouldn't choose either of them as my long-term QB. My reasons IMO are similar to why the 49ers gave up so many picks for Lance and are reportedly still planning to start him next year.

No one  is saying long term. We are talking about a more steady hand that isn’t volitile until we get the guy. Problem is he would have to be a trade and extend most likely.

Just like Ballard, I'm done with the bandaids. Unless we are getting legit elite talent (Rodgers, Wilson) we shouldn't be giving up premier assets for temporary short term fixes. Now if they come cheap/free I'm good with it. 

[chad72]

Does anyone have a stat on the number of points the Colts D gave up when a turnover happened versus the rest of the league Ds?

Personally I want Russell Wilson because he is still young enough to play 5 more years at a very good to great level. He would fit our offense perfectly. He's won a SB and should've won 2.

I agree. Go with Wentz for the 2022 plan and with pass catchers talent added, no more excuses. Then re-evaluate. In the long scheme of things, JT and the OL will still be in their prime after 2022 season.

He said he would like a 10 year option, but just because he wants it doesn't mean it will happen.

If Frank and Ballard go with Wentz in 2022 and don't make SIGNIFICANT strides forward, IMO both are gone. 

[Indyfan4life]

Mike McCarthy always looks like he’s trying to decide between a double or triple cheeseburger with his Diet Coke. 

[Gramz]

That was the right call.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wow that’s a dumb penalty.

After what happened in the last 2 games, I have a feeling Wentz is gone. Something is going to happen, JMO. You just can't have a season where you  have 3 all-pro players, 7 pro-bowlers, and an all world RB and miss the playoffs with 2 chances to clinch.

Dallas just got a gigantic break. Roughing the punter which is rarely called anymore.

Last year, Irsay said he let's Ballard and Frank do their thing, except at QB.  He said any decision at QB is an equal 3-way decision among the three of them.

 

From everything I've read and seen, following their post Jax debacle meeting, Wentz is gone.

Problem isn’t a Elite QB factory. They don’t grow on trees and there are very few of them.

Dak laying his usual egg in the playoffs.

He’s the one I want too. Always have liked him. Highly unlikely we’d get him though.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think Irsay is done with bandaids too. I won’t be surprised he is says  let’s stick with Wentz until the 2023 draft. He really wants to draft a QB. One the Colts can call their own.

[chad72]

Who is the 49ers DL coach and why are they able to stock up so well while rushing 4? No wonder they were willing to part with Buckner.

 

Jerry Jones btw should have been penalized for his big ego and screen in the way of the punt , no do overs to save field positions.

Yeah... Wentz would be a weird hill to die on, especially for Ballard and especially if he trusts him as little as he let on in his press-conference. Like... if they really like him and trust him, go for it, more power to them, but they should know what this likely means when he %s the bed again in the most important of moments of the seasons. Irsay is already * off at Wentz. There is zero chance he will tolerate another disaster like this.

What have you read and seen regarding Wentz's apparent departure??

I don't live in Indy and haven't been searching web sites for info.

It's just my sense, listening to Frank, Ballard and Irsay and hearing reporters who have spoken to Irsay or who are close to the situation.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Man that was a big time throw on 3rd down.

That's not a reason to give up premier assets for short-term mediocrity. 

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I love the way Jimmy G is playing today and it is a playoff game on the road. I like Trey Lance's talent but they don't know how good he will be? Jimmy G has won a lot of big games.

They had a lot of 1st round picks when they were bad. That’s why Buckner got traded. Too many to pay.

[2006Coltsbestever]

The Jags have had so many top 10 picks over the last 10 years including now having Lawrence and they still have routinely sucked except against us go figure.  

[Gramz]

SF has played better today, but it still could go either way.

 

My Kind of game

[2006Coltsbestever]

Dallas just beating themselves with dumb penalties. They aren't a discipline team at all.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If cowboys do happen to pull this off I can see how people would say Jimmy G didn’t step up to win them the game.

 

Colts don’t have the dline so Jimmy would have a lot more pressure on him.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Dak being Dak, hero ball gets you nowhere.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Oh wow what a game changing int. 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Goodbye, Deebo to the endzone!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Damn lol. Ha ha.Taylor and Hines would be our Deebo if Jimmy came here.
