leno >fisher >  pryor    ballard really messed that decision up

They ought to consider calling Fisher.

 

never thought I’d say that.  But there has to be better options who are FAs.

[coach kline]

Man. We really suck!

[Maniac53]

Ohhh go colts!! 3 points at Halftime... Goooo ,,,Ballard and Frank!!!!

[Patrick Miller]

Well I just tuned in. Kinda wish I didn’t. I can’t believe how bad the offensive line is. I wouldn’t be surprised if pretty soon we’re just gonna tank this season and try to get a really good draft pick. It looks like Matty ice is not the answer. He needs to be more mobile with this crap-tacular oline. Might as well throw ehlinger in there and see what he’s got.

Lindsay 6 car 34 yards maybe involve more run plays?

Deon Jackson kept running into walls inside, Lindsay had more instincts

ballard tapped out the cap space i doubt we have money

[Indy87]

Ballard:  Look, you guys act like we  are devoid of talent! We have good players!

They were actually a fun team to watch...even if it was during a pandemic. Phil was great. Got rid of the ball in a timely fashion.

Ryan holds the ball too long. When the play is over throw it away.

 

He keeps trying to make a play when the play is over

Ehlinger isn’t active

Do you want them to win?

Ummmm honestly....nope. That sounds bad but  I have seen enough with the last 2 games of last season and now the beginning of this year. This team is poorly constructed. U know u have a major problem when the supposed strength of your team is an absolute disaster. Leave Ryan in there. Let him get hammered and get that high pick for once. Start over with new regime. Maybe a new Oline coach can come in next year and turn it around. The new franchise  qb will have a great running back to take off some pressure. So yes I am ready to rip off thr band aid. I have not been a Ballard fan as he is highly over rated and I hate the way he constructed this team and everyone knows my feelings on that issue. Use to like Frank, but u have opened my eyes on this.

This is what overreacting gets you. Fisher was good for the strength of this team - run blocking. Pinter doesn’t fit anywhere but center. Pryor is a natural guard and Wentz did well, looking back, given our pass protection woes.

Its apparent that we have no OTs on this team.  None.   Smith has been moved inside...its probably overdue.

 

For as traitsy as Ballard likes...there are no olineman with true LT traits.

This whole thread is low class!

they have good character though !!!  

[chickenMan]

I vote we make Frank and Ballard play on the OL the second half, like that one episode of South Park

 

[Patrick Miller]

Time to flip the switch boys! Lol!!!

They know our OL communication is not gonna be good with all these changes on a short week. 

What was our excuse last week lol though.

All the negativity is getting boring. It’s not like there’s 17 games to get right…oh wait!

And I will keep repeating that a lot of us were pointing this out this spring and summer.  We’re only fans - how is it we could know this was coming and professional NFL FO people couldn’t?

 

Over and over….the OL is going to suck.  What’s the plan?  It seems clear they didn’t really have one.

[RollerColt]

Dangeruss is not playing like a $235 million QB…

[Lancer1]

We've trailed at the half for 7 consecutive games now - if that doesn't cost Frank the playcalling gig, then Ballard is a fool!

[Moosejawcolt]

Looks what Siriani is doing in Philly. Much better coach than Frank. By the way that you’re picking on Raimann

Don't be fooled by Philly's success. They have a laughable schedule. Hurts looks good but whenever he plays a defense that makes him play qb, he looks like crap. He is not the answer. Watch when he plays the 49ers division. They can bring it with their front 4's. I maybe wrong but I think he is fools gold much like Murray who Arizona should not have extended.

[Happy2BeHere]

Buckner? I forgot that dude was on the team anymore never hear his name

[Nancy]

COLTS in the 1st half...

[Lancer1]

Buckner with the sack for 3rd & real long!

[EastStreet]

Honestly the Line should be 

 

D. Kelly Nelson Pinter Pryor Smith

 

(with R. Kelly out)

 

 

Pryor - Nelson - Pinter - D Kelly - Smith

 

Pryor did decent with some great DEs. Not great, but easily acceptable.

He's looking down the field for somebody open...you can see him looking around the field....being protected by a 6th rounder, 5th rounder, a rookie developmental guy, a rookie TE, ......and Lurch. 

Just take the quick outlet. His pocket awareness is bad and he is not good at reading a defense.

[chad72]

No points off turnovers against us, we can win it. Just saying we’re a second half team 

[a06cc]

Ok Defense!

[chickenMan]

D continues to look good

[coming on strong]

i am just glad the colts didnt drop two first for wilson he stinks ! it would of set the franchise back 3 years

[IrsaysArmy]

Our d is killin it

we are learning the process

[Coltsman1788]

Our defense keeping us in the game. Good opening series there. 

[Patrick Miller]

OK here it comes boys….. Colts are going to flip the switch

No Pinter at RG.  Should have left the line the same.  Fries was OK (not perfect) at RG.

Fries was worse than Pinter IMO.

[Boondoggle]

Those two sacks before the half...  I think I would bench Ryan for that.  He has to be better than that.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This denver offense is just as bad as colts.

Well we’re certainly not a first half team
