I also notice safeties aren’t rangy like Ed Reed, Earl Thomas, Bethea as much anymore. If your CB is running step by step with the WR, a safety like McCourty should be able to look at the QB and make

I have no idea what the Colts saw in Matt Ryan’s film from last year that led them to believe he had enough left in his arm.

Because Henry wasn’t established as a runner in which case the crossing of the plane would have been a TD

Jefferson is so good.

Because Ryan doesn't have any zip left on his passes. 

I think your exactly right here. But it also takes him forever to make a decision which is making the oline look worse. That deep pass by cousins was our very quick. Didn’t have much to do with zip. Seems Ryan’s processing is really slow.

I am confused. Shouldn’t that have been a TD as soon as the ball crossed the plane?

 

 

 

I think it is like the Dez Bryant/Megatron no catches in the end. I forgot how it is described. No "football move"???

I can't see the Kelce play well but from what I could see, that does not look like it should have been called a catch on the field.

This game the ST really showed up. Vikings have shown a lot of fight this year in close games. They can take the Eagles or Cowboys in an NFCCG rematch, I feel 

 

Their defense is not good enough. 

 

The STs have been good all year. The rookie punter has been fantastic.

Good night all.  The turkey was stuffed and so am I.  Too much different desserts.  haha

 

Too much food. I had a small piece of one dessert although we had 5 of them. I should have taken some home. 

 

Have a good night all.

These young coaches in the nfl have teams that are so fun to watch. If Colts don’t hide Saturday I hope they go with somtome younger.


Its creative play calling.

 

I’m tempted to go after Mike Kafka, OC of Giants, former QB like Vikings HC Kevin, and has quietly produced a very good season out of Daniel Jones, came from Andy Reid coaching tree.

 

Unless Parks knocks it out of the park, going after a guy like him will help any new QB. First we need a direction to operate for our new QB. No one will sign up for Matt Ryan, IMO. We need to be clear with a plan to present the new HC, a plan without Ryan in it.

Punter Ryan Wright should get a turkey leg. That guy and JJ are our MVPs.

I didn't get to watch, but was following as it's daytime here. I thought they'd rush more like Cowboys did, think they didn't get the balance but still did very well in the passing game. 

 

Looks like Vikings came prepared in offense today, didn't allow many Sacks and Cousins balled out even as Run game got stuffed. 

 

Kene Nwangwu was the MVP too, he helped get the important TD just when we needed. After that return TD, vikings defense came alive, had some Sacks, 4 down stop, 3-and-out, allowed only 3 points in the last 26 minutes! 

 

This new HC is doing an awesome job, they eat clock a lot in drives, and percentage of drives ending in a FG or TD also has increased from last few years. Offense as a scheme seem to be tough to defend, and above all, he has made Cousins a fighter and very confident than ever in his career.

Go for young, proven offensive coordinators now, have to set aside emotion and keep Saturday as consultant and go for the OC/assistant who's got very good experience in game planning, scheming, and play calling. These are the guys who turn around the franchise these days, and can also help find the franchise QB. 

 

Mike mcdaniel of Dolphins seem to be doing great job too, he's gone one step ahead from 49ers days and has got a very good passing offense as well with Tua and their incredible playmakers.

      And yet, didn’t the Colts pick up Paye's 5th year option?      Most posts here complain Paye isn’t a good enough pass rusher.  Now here you are saying he’s not a good enough run defender.      What do the Colts know about Paye that the fan base here does not appear to?

      Stubborn, or patient?

      Baseball is such a long season, so I know better than anyone to just give up on my team before mid-July. Here we are mid-July and the Cubs have won 4 in a row but now go to St. Louis for a 4-game set. I don't expect a sweep (that is asking way too much) but if we can get 3 out of 4 then we need to stay the course. We are currently a half game out of 3rd place behind the Pirates in the Central and 4 games behind the Cards for a WC spot. If the Cards tear us a new one like win all 4 or even 3 of 4, it's over then IMO. We need 3 of these to prove keeping this team together is worth it.

      I can’t remember what thread it was, but I posted some stats regarding our defensive line and Supes had actually came to the conclusion that Lewis should get more pass rush snaps (based on data).     And to be honest, I’m not sure how effective Paye is at stopping the run because he doesn’t show up in a positive way on a lot of these metrics.  Now I’m not saying he sucks, but he’s solid enough to where I think other ends on our team should get some snaps and see what we have.  Is it that Paye is the best run defending end we have and that’s why he gets majority of those snaps over others or are they trying to allow him to develop?   Idk, but I was ecstatic that we grabbed Latu because it meant Paye will fall back to a rotational player.  People disagreed with me, which is fine, but I’m sorry, Paye just doesn’t pop off the screen.  It’s the same with Pierce.  Some players just don’t pop and the metrics show that.     We’ll see.  I know Paye has improved every year he’s played.  But in this scheme, we need more.  Hoping that Paye indeeds prove me wrong because then it would mean we have more talent on the line.
