No no no no no. He had plenty of time to get a throw off there. Instead he chose to panic and wait to be hit. 

Absolutely part of it. It’s tough to watch 

 

Sorry, but pressure is almost immediate, if not immediate. Both sides are failing fast. Hard to trust the OL, when neither  side is failing. And can't step up when the C is pushed back. We simply need to run more... and go max protect when we pass.

Tells you something about this colts team when nearly half the stadium are Steelers fans. 

Eh that’s just Steelers fans, they travel better than any fan base in the league. They’re like an infestation, they’re everywhere across the country

Maybe colts need to use some play action lol.

its clearly the QB is the biggest problem even when the pocket is clean he throws horrible passes and picks .    i will never understand why people defend him so hard .  yea the line is bad but even looking at stats colts give up 30 percent pressure rate the other 70 what is he doing ?   he is just not that good anymore  frank was right to bench him honestly put sam in let him run around like the redskins game

lol that thread "did Saturday fix the oline" that was active for quite awhile....I think we know the answer now

Saturday can’t fix this OL, no one can right now, it’s a talent issue at two spots. Saturday has made it better, while also trying to be the head coach of the team. Ryan is the problem so far tonight.

Yeah Sam looked like Peyton chuckling homer simpson GIF- with Sam we may be winless.

We really should of went to Foles when Ryan hurt his shoulder. Foles has a great arm and would stretch the field.

I think this is the Ryan we thought we would get.  What we didn't expect is for the line to be so poor.  Given time he has shown the ability to get it downfield successfully.  This line isn't giving him the time HE needs.  Not other QB's, but this one.

Pickett is as mobile or more than Sam E, he got Sacked twice... 

 

Where does this "mobile QB doesn't get Sacked" comes from? 

 

Ryan could do better, but that doesn't mean Ehlinger would do better in that situation automatically. 


lol it’s comical, you should see falcon land with all the talk about Mariota avoiding sacks bc he’s mobile. The fanbase just found out he’s taken more sacks this season than Ryan did at the same point last year.. good times. Mobile QBs sometimes take more sacks. You need a QB with awareness and mobility.. PM, JA, etc have that combo

Fans don’t typically sell their tickets if they’ve got a team worth watching. Yea, it says something. 

Not entirely true, I worked security for the colts during the manning years, steeler fans were EVERYWHERE in the RCA dome, at times it felt that they outnumbered the Colts fans.

    • Sometimes when an elite player goes down a diamond in the rough is found! I don’t get wrapped up in the colts like I used to. If they are playing terrible I usually find something else to do or watch.I don’t let it affect my whole day.
    • I have no question that AR is our QB. He has showed enough to me. Now he has to figure out how to protect himself so he can stay on the field. That will come with more  game experience.
    • Thanks for this as yes, I sometimes don't adequately express my take I guess..Ha!! Happens. 🤷‍♂️ But you are correct. Cam to me as you stated was never a consistently good QB at the NFL level and that is why I was never a fan of his game. I guess it's all about how one views what an NFL QB should be or look like. I'm not a fan of Lamar either as I think he is somewhat in the mold of that type of QB. Great athlete who just happens to play QB. Outside of that Raven scheme, I'm not sold on the fact the Jackson could ever flourish. It's why over 90% of the time if Lamar is needed to bring the Ravens out of a deficit he can't do it. It's not his game, yet there are those who think Lamar is superior and he has achieved personal accomplishments. Ravens do consistently win though but it's an entire team deal as their defense is normally rock solid to compliment that run first style. We don't have that here in Indy
    • I already laid out the injuries.  You can say what you want but one was the coaches pulling him in the Rams game because they were down multiple scores with little time left, two of the others were a concussion and a shoulder injury that required surgery so that rules out toughness.  Then the Steelers game he tried to comeback and clearly wasn’t moving well and it’s reported he has injury that does cause players to miss time and there is a chance he plays Sunday which seems to be counter productive to people who want argue he’s not tough enough.  None of those involve him lacking toughness.  It’s a nonsense argument made up by fans who are tired of him being injured.     also Richardson has taken wicked hits and hopped right back up from them.  To the point people complain about the league not protecting him with roughing the passer calls.  If he had no pain tolerance he wouldn’t get up from the those hits.   yes he needs to be better at protecting himself.  Again that has nothing to do with toughness.   Also I am not comparing him to Luck if you read my post.   I am pointing out Irsay is acknowledging they are being cautious with Richardson and injuries because of what happened with Luck.  That’s not comparing the two players.
    • IMO the only reason to not play Richardson (when healthy) is if you've given up on him. Joe Flacco has a role on this team and that role is secondary or tertiary to the main goal of this team at this moment - namely developing AR and figuring out if he can be our franchise QB. The best way to do both of those is to play him and let him gain experience and playing time... And, ultimately to get enough snaps that you feel comfortable with whatever decision you come to about his long term prospects. And IMO the only reason to bench him is if you think you've gotten the answer to that primary question and it is negative.    Otherwise, we are doing the same thing we were doing the last 3 years before we drafted him and IMO that's the worst place to be as a franchise in regards with your QB... Where you not only don't have a franchise QB but you don't even have the hope of having one on the roster.   I can't believe this conversation is even being had. If he can play... He has to play.
