Run, run, 3 and long..... Incomplete....

 C'mon frank.  Not to mention, Peterson pretty much knows Frank inside out....

Really same plays when Chuck was here.

[coming on strong]

theres no communication with the offensive line at all .  why is pinter going over to help smith block a single rusher and letting a free rusher in the back field

They had some really bad stretches last season...

[stitches]

Run run, 3d and long... sack. 

[bestQBever]

You need receivers that can get open quick or a O line that can give receivers time to get open. We have neither.

Our oline has to do a better job protecting ryan

The folks trashing him in here are failing to mention that the man is constantly under siege - I could see if he had time and was just misfiring, but that hasn't been the case.

They're definitely getting pushed around by the Jacksonville front, not a good sign so far.  

Not sure why but this OL has gone way downhill since coach Gugs left back in 2019 I believe. Coaching is definitely an issue for Colts right now.

Q is not what he was.  Kelly gets worse every year.... Pinter is a C.  Smith has been worse since getting paid.  Great.

By not what he was, let me be clear....I think Q has been starting to have back issues last year....

[Nesjan3]

Im taking solace in the fact that if this team blows this year its probable some big changes will be made

End of last season or when we switched coaches 

[Coltsfan98]

Guess it wasn't just the QB huh Irsay...........

when we decided not to pay $$ for LT instead spent big $$ on LG 

[Mr.Debonair]

Put 11 in the box, we can’t block the stunts. Jax doesn’t fear the pass at all

When we let not one but two of our veteran guards walk to depend on players that had less then 2 years of experience in the league

Yeah but he was under more pressure last year believe it or not....and still more effective than this.

[coming on strong]

not finding a replacement for Ac and sticking pinter as a guard is going well ........

[IndyD4U]

Too soon to start the #firefrank tag?

That sack is not Ryan's fault.

 

That was a jailbreak up the middle 

I mean he’s had someone in his face every single pass so.. need to figure that one out

Once Q had that lower back injury.....Kelly started telling the Union, and Glow left.

[chad72]

I’m switching the game to watch, let’s hope it works like last week when it gave us a tie

[chickenMan]

At this point Frank is just Chuck, except without the funny sayings like “chopping wood” or “building the monster”

He got a decent amount of time on the last play. But, I agree for the most part that his passes have been rushed.

[SR711]

The o-line has been awful especially last two drives.

 

Its pretty simple, when you invest as much as we have in that unit, they simply cannot be that bad in both run and pass blocking

You weren't supposed to notice.

[Colts1324]

Dang y’all. How are we going to even be competitive with KC, Chargers, Eagles, Broncos, etc this year

[JediXMan]

 

Reich.

[IndySouthsider]

What a football team

Ballard has a spending philosophy, but it makes his misses I. The draft absolutely GLARING.

2019. They had one good year and have been living on reputation since. They've been getting progressively worse each season, and were downright bad last half of last year. They look like they somehow got even worse this year.

[Solid84]

It's unbelievable how bad we look..

[smittywerb]

that is ballards problem paying huge contracts to non premium positions and ignoring the premium spots .  ignore left tackle and just start a career backup tackle  , ignore wrs and stick in young guys .

 

This is my ONE gripe with Ballard I have.  It's good to build through the draft but you have to solidify the foundation you've built with FA because no GM can hit on every pick.  We continue to get outbidded on players because he doesn't want to overpay but he needs to wake up.  We don't have a premium QB and Indy isn't an attractive destination as a market and city.  We have to overpay, especially for the important positions like WR, LT, and pass rushers (which are the positions we lack at).  He has built a great foundation.  That's just the way the NFL is.  He has drafted well.  But he has been HORRIBLE when it comes to FA. 

[MPStack]

[JlynRN]

terrible terrible terrible.  O line not protecting Ryan at all.

That's exactly the issue.  Frank apparently motivates with all the effectiveness of NyQuil.

Bad OL coaching. I can’t believe they our pro bowl level players in Kelly, Smith, and Nelson forgot how to play dominant football especially in run blocking. 

[a06cc]

Defo is in the same boat. Where has he been?

[Colts1324]

I’m losing my cool lol why is every underneath route WIDE open

Is LT the issue?
