I remember watching the Colts on TV in 1983 with Mike Pagel at QB and thinking what a crappy team they were.  Then later learning they arrived in Indy, even though excited to get a team, I thought, oh crap, this will be painful to watch.  How I long for that team now.

Big issues....

  1. Reich
  2. Reich
  3. Reich
  4. Strausser
  5. Strausser
  6. Ballard

 

D has played pretty decent this year. 

 

Biggest Issue is the guy picking the talent which is Ballard. Reich has a SB win as a coach. We look like KC when Ballard was there.

Where? Nelson isn’t fully healthy, Smith has taken and step back. We need a C, RG, and LT. There is no talent or depth there at all.

We have plenty of guys who have shown that they can play at times... 

 

But they are not playing.... That's on coaching...

Don’t believe the hype. Reich wasn’t even allowed to call the plays during that Super Bowl season. And now we’re seeing why…

Pagel days; right after Jones went to Rams.

Actually, check out my strategy. I drafted Harris in the first round. Big oof. I got Adams in the second. So I waited till the 12th to take a QB when I took Carr betting on him and Adams to make him and MVP candidate. I had a chance to trade Harris for Kupp after W1 and I declined. Luckily I traded James Conner for Henry after W2 and that’s helped keep from totally killing my season. But my life is on. The line pretty much every week now. Just a series of lethal misfires. I took a bold strategy and it just did not pay off.

    • Pass rush.     That is the key.  Control the line.  Make him make plays.  Make him uncomfortable.  Hey, if he Stroud beats us with his talent and we’re making him complete these great plays, then chalk it up to the game.  But we can’t allow him (and any other qb) to be comfortable and pick us apart.     I hope we see our front 4 provide that pressure because that will make everything else much easier.  I honestly believe we have the corners for our scheme in Moore, Brents, and jones.  But we don’t have the pressure.  Or the FS unfortunately.  Our corners jobs in this scheme isn’t to run step for step with wide receivers.  It’s to stick with them and prevent YAC.  Moore is the best nickel in the game, Jones was one of the best corners PERIOD in preventing YAC, and I think a healthy Brents will be good too.
    • Agreed.  After this last off season, I kind of give Ballard a pass on taking long to find a certified DE (if Latu pans out).  Like QBs, they don’t grow on trees.  You either have to draft one high, get lucky with one in the draft, or sign one in FA for loads of cash.  All I can ask for him as GM to do is try.  He hasn’t been perfect by any means but at least he’s tried with the DE position specifically.   i also think Shane being here has changed his thinking.  Before, Ballard might’ve went with Turner due to the higher upside.  But maybe Shane differs and wants proven players.     Either way, I’m glad we possibly have our stud at a premium position for the next 5 years at a cheap rate.     And gotta thank the Falcons for us landing Latu.  Lol
    • Sure, but I know you're smart enough to get the gist of this post - a potent offense is more important than a good defense.     Today's NFL favors the O in the rule book and encourages scoring.  D's have to hang in there and most play it safe.   Of course, it's simple, of course it's not easy to have an elite O, and of course it doesn't always lead to wins.  But, in my opinion, it's the way a GM should build a team.  (Yes, I know about the Manning years.  That's another conversation)
