Frank is the new red herring.

 

Brand new QB in their first meaningful playing time, a disheveled O line playing abysmally, and our star player hobbled, yet he isn’t wow’ing people here… 


I’ll be happy when he walks out the door for the final time.

We need to run quicker passing game, bootlegs, and play action. Keep feeding JT, fixing to bust one.

It looks like Taylor isn't 100 percent. I wish they would have held him back from a game until he was. Deon Jackson getting carries meanwhile isn't a bad thing instead of threating Taylor's RB lifespan getting worse and worse.

Yet week after week, Strauser is our line coach but it’s mind boggling how Nelson is playing this season. There really is no way to fix this line this season without trading them. Even then Ballard is still makes the picks and orchestrating the trades 

I would still like to try by getting another line coach.

I was hoping he was a diamond in the rough. Maybe he got overlooked. Guess I was wrong.

I think we're dead in the water. Just watch it with a humorous angle. I'm not getting worked up over this garbage.

idk either Sam was going to somehow elevate this offense, or we get a juicy pick next year. I'm okay with that.

 

But someone needs to take responsibility for the OL performance degrading so much from last year. It's insane that they're this bad.

It is hard to say but I believe against a team like Washington if Matt was playing, we would be leading this game at the half. Only giving up 7 points.

No we wouldn’t. Matt would’ve been sacked 5 times by now.

That may have explained why Frank only tan him 10 times last week. All the pollsters and fans get their wish and now he's hurt

Quick halftime thoughts

 

- New starting QB, same inept passing game that cannot challenge anything intermediate or deep on the field.  A team cannot succeed in the NFL relying on underneath stuff.  Ehlinger with 5.2 ypa is not going to cut.  Feel like a broken record saying as it has been the same issue when Ryan was taking the snaps. 

 

- Ehlinger has more mobility to avoid the sacks, but so far I haven't seen much else from him.  I do think his ceiling is a good backup in this league.

 

- The sad/frustrating thing is the defense has actually been pretty good this year,  Some may point to the lack of turnovers which is fair, but I feel that if they had been playing with the lead more, those numbers would go up, because right now teams don't take a lot of chances knowing what they are dealing with when facing the Colts O; j

 

- The other sad/frustrating thing is that the AFC South division is very winnable.  Of the other 3 teams, maybe Tennessee is above average.

Just a thought, anyone think we should trade Buckner and Kelly while the value is high and put ourselves in a better position to move up for a QB?  Would also free space Incase Ravens move on from Lamar Jackson (highly doubtful though)

Kelly for sure.  Not Buckner.

    • The Colts, desperate for a long term solution at Quarterback, picked one in a miserable draft for qb,s. Should have went with another left tackle or defense. Should have spent thier money on Carr or Mayfield. this would have locked the position down for at least 5 or 6 years. By then maybe another prospect will come along or at least be in position to make a better decision. For gods sake, who thought it was a good idea to pick a player with so few tools and experience. He is not only a young rookie ,he is new to the position of quarterback in college much less the NFL. Yes he is gifted, he can throw the ball a mile. So could I at 22 years old but doing it in professional football no way.
    • Didn't you know SB or bust every single year... Lol. 
    • Cuz we've had such great QB play during that stretch.
    • I mean, may it take longer for AR to reach his full potential because of his age, rawness, and lack of experience….maybe yes maybe be no, but that’s for any qb.  There’s maybe one qb every few or so years that comes in and is ready to go.  Look at the past 5-10 drafts and you’ll see what I’m saying.  Even Pat Mahomes had to sit before he touched the field.  Trust me, it’s a short list.     NFL fans (and teams alike) have been spoiled with the thought of QBs coming in right away and getting into done when in reality that’s not the case.  ARs timeline/trajectory is going to be very similar to Josh Allen’s and tbh Allen didn’t start to really get it until Diggs came around.  A QBs development is dependent upon not just the qb himself, but the personnel, the coaches, the system.     Question, what would you have done in our situation?  Draft Levis?  I mean, I agree with you, I was one of the people on this board that wanted to do whatever we needed to get stroud, but it didn’t happen.  So We were either going to draft AR or Levis.  And if you didn’t want either one of them then you’re pretty much onboard with a full blown rebuild and waiting until next year because no other qb was worth drafting in the first round.  And to be real, AR would’ve been a top 3 QB in this past draft also.    
    • Ahh man an old time Colt. I remember him having those fat bar facemasks at one point. Sucks.
