As a team, they suck at sacks. 

But Crosby is #2 highest graded edge defender in the NFL. 

He has been top 10ish IIRC in pressures of DE the year.. 

that was kinda my point though i am not gonna say the line is fixed until i see progress for the rest of the season . next week is a massive test with the eagles

If nothing else, one thing is certain: Jeff has some football IQ!

I think that's what Irsay meant with his "scared" comment.  It came out wrong.... But Frank had 5 years of baggage over new QBs.... Bad calls on going for it....etc.  abandoned the run..... Too many preconceived notions he felt he needed to disprove at times maybe.

I wonder how many here are rooting against Jeff and the Colts right now.

Here as in on this sight?  You're crazy.

13-7... 

nice quick drive to get the FG...

 

How many times this year:

  • 1Q TD
  • Half time lead....

Ryan 78% (14/18), and 100+ passer rating...

Just removing Frank is addition by subtraction. But Saturday has pressed the right buttons so far.

I LOVE the balance on offense right now.  18 passes vs 13 rushes.  Defense is showing up again.  Allowed one score and that was off of a turnover.  
 

I would like to see us keep hitting them with a balanced attack but let’s start testing them deep.  Other than that, we’re playing winning football.  Balanced offense, good defense.  Just can’t turn it over.

 

and say what you want, this team looks ready to go.  Scored 10 points in the first quarter through 9 games.  Jeff gets us on the board in the first qtr in his first game.

Yeah, next week is going to be THE challenge of the season.

I never thought he was washed. Thought the move to Sam was confusing but exciting. After seeing him for 2 games though Ryan is clearly by far the better option. 

 

So either Frank made a bad call (personnel change)

Or Irsay forced it, and Jeff reversed it...

I know it is only one half of play... This is looking like what we thought we would see, earlier in the season... Balanced.. Productive...

i like how we’re sticking with the run even when it doesn’t work.  Against this bad defense, he’s going to break one open as the game goes

Burleson is right. 
 

As great as this looks right now we can’t really judge this until the “adrenalin” wears off.

 

I’ll take what I’m seeing right now though. 


Next week vs the Eagles is a true test for both trenches. They’re one of the best O-lines in the league.

He’s right, this could end up being fool’s gold, but much better to start off strong than come out looking like we did against the Patriots

Agreed. Like what I’m seeing, hoping this is systemic vs everyone temporarily invigorated with a change of blood.

 

Lets temper our expectations if we win, but enjoy it since we’ve not had too many of those this year.

The challenge for this team right now is to figure out how not to self destruct. I swear, I've seen BAD Colt teams make mistakes, but I NEVER seen a Colts team with this much talent find ways to destroy themselves. Keke's already done it today on a drive that would have scored points. 

Having said all of that, and even with Matt playing well, I'd rather run with Sam. That way we either lose out and get in better position for a 1st round QB or we find out that sam can be THE guy.

Well you know what happens to Undefeated teams when they play the Colts right ? Look up the stats . 


2007 Patriots were 8-0 when they played us on their way to 16-0, that’s what I remember. This Eagles start and their schedule gives them a good chance to be 15-2 or 16-1, IMO. We’ll see.

    • Hey Everyone,   So, I just caught wind of Goodson's apology letter after dropping that short pass from Minshew against the Texans last season. Here's my humorous take on the situation:   "Dear Fans, Coaches, Teammates, and Supporters,   I'm writing to apologize for buttering up that short pass in the most critical moment against the Texans. Look, I know I'm the backup running back, but hey, I'm usually good for catching those short throws - emphasis on 'usually'. My bad for turning a routine play into a blooper reel moment.   To my teammates, sorry for making you wonder if I was secretly playing for the other team. Next time, I'll practice catching more than just footballs thrown by the water boy.   To the coaches, maybe let's reconsider throwing short passes to guys who have hands that are more slippery than a greased pig at the county fair. Just a suggestion.   And to the fans, thanks for turning my drop into a meme. I promise to work on my catching skills so I can make highlights, not lowlights, next season.   Sincerely, Goodson (aka the running back who should stick to running)"   Okay, maybe I exaggerated a bit, but you get the gist. Let's hope Goodson has been hitting those catching drills hard this offseason!
    • I remember looking for highlights of TJ after we drafted him.  I kept finding videos of him following OJ Howard into the endzone.  Not sure if Howard was his responsibility, but it didn't paint a promising picture.
    • Ballard,   So, yeah, about that whole "bust" thing—I guess the cat's out of the bag. Turns out, I'm more of a popcorn fart than a thunderclap. My bad.   When you drafted me, I thought I was gonna be the Colts' next big thing. You know, sacking quarterbacks, making highlight reels, maybe even getting my face on a cereal box someday. But instead, I've been about as useful as a screen door on a submarine.   I've watched the tapes, Coach. I've seen the memes. They're comparing my NFL career to a hangover—starts off with high hopes, and ends with regret and a lot of Gatorade. And honestly, I get it. I'm like that guest who shows up to a party uninvited and ends up eating all the chips.   So, here's my mea culpa. I apologize for not living up to the hype. For every missed tackle, every missed sack, and that one time I accidentally tackled our own quarterback in practice (sorry, Philip). I'm like the guy who brings a guitar to a party and insists on playing Wonderwall—I'm annoying and not nearly as good as I think I am.   But hey, I'm not giving up. I'm hitting the gym, studying film (mostly bloopers at this point), and practicing my touchdown dance for when pigs finally fly. I promise to work harder and maybe, just maybe, I'll redeem myself and earn my place in the Hall of Mediocrity.   Thanks for believing in me, and letting me live my dream for 4 years straight whilst simultaneously producing nothing for your team. I'll make you proud yet, even if it's just by being the team's MVP of Bust Central, and we aren't talking bronze heads.    Sincerely, Ben "The Bust" Banagous (Not sponsored by Gatorade yet, but a guy can dream)
    • if you scream MODS! in anything I write,  I might get in trouble. hahaha
    • MODS!  This should be enough to force you to bring back the laughing emoji option!   Funny stuff!
