They folded in the last 2 minutes of the 2Q too, at the playoff game in BUF, from about their own 6 yard line after Frank went for it on 4th down with much criticism.

 

The offensive scheme is exacerbated by a QB that cannot throw deep very well and receivers that seem uninspired.

I remember that 94 yard drive like it was yesterday. 2 Hail Marys that were in bounds by inches, isiah Rodgers INT wiped out, Rodgers almost picks off the next one. all of this right after rivers missed Pittman in the endzone.

Ok just ignore us being number one in scoring most of the season. One game doesn’t make your identity. This year every game we struggle to score.

I would say that 1 game was pretty crucial, how about the Raiders game before that where we only scored 20 at home and Wentz missed TY wide open for a TD?

I’ll say this, neither Wentz or Ryan alone are the problem.  Unfortunately neither was the answer either.

Just because Wentz wasn’t the answer doesn’t mean you should downgrade.

Wentz not being the answer does mean you should keep trying to find the answer through.  Unfortunately they got the replacement wrong.  They didn’t get ride of Wentz for Ryan.  They got ride of Wentz and then they got Ryan it was two different decisions. They got ride of Wentz because he wasn’t the answer and that was the still the right call before Ryan even entered the picture.

Both were married to poor OL play.

So hard to grade either (fairly). 

 

It's like trying to compare Lebron vs Jordan, with both playing flat balls.

This is so bad. Imagine having a season like this and bring out of reach for a QB.

Making things worse is a bad decision.

He has been real disappointing but our Line stinks right now.

The last few games he’s finally looked like old Taylor but they keep trying to be pass happy.  They have gotten away from their identity.  They need to run Taylor until the other team proves they can stop him.

 Not sure he would of made a difference. This team has too many holes SF doesn’t have.

It wouldn’t matter if Wentz, Ryan, Jimmy G, Rodgers, Wilson, or any other QB you can think of that the Colts could have had this season were here.  With the line this bad they would have all struggled.  That’s why I am not sure if Ryan alone is a down grade because I don’t think Wentz would be doing any better behind this line.

Wentz can escape and throw in run. Ryan can’t. Not to mention he had to be accounted for to run which opened up things for Taylor.

That is overrated.  So could Sam and Sam has the most sacked game of anyone this season for the Colts and Sam’s ability to run did nothing to help the running game because wait for it the line still couldn’t block.

Most of Taylor's runs were up the gut last year because the O.Line opened holes too and he had great footwork. Your love for Wentz is fascinating, you act like he ran the option like the 90 Cornhuskers did getting 6 yards a carry.

That’s apples and oranges. Your comparing Wentz to a guy who only played two games.

    • All good stuff in your post there. Without cherry picking contracts, can you list two or three veteran comps for Pittman?
    • How many PEDs are on the "banned" list? 
    • Do you agree that yards/catch (and even yards/target) is a stat that should be accompanied by a lot of context? For example, what's the difference between MPJ's stats in 2021 vs 2023? Isn't it the state of the offense, and the quality of the QBing?   Speaking of context, to the red bolded, Pittman is #2 in total targets, #5 in target share, and #83 in average target distance (all per playerprofiler). Doesn't that speak to his usage and role in a limited passing offense?   Wherever you land on any of that, what I think is important is to determine whether Pittman's production (total, and average) speaks more to the circumstances, or to his ability. And I think there's a lot of grey area in there, but the "really BAD" number you're hanging on to speaks more to the circumstances, IMO.
    • First off, my opinon of Pittman is based on what we have seen from him so far and I recognize he hasn't had stable QB play or even good QB play for most of his career. That said there are just several stats that stick out as non-WR1 stats (or whatever we should call it).   I mean, Pittman's call sign is a hitch route short of the sticks. That's not really a big boy play in my opinion even if Pittman gets good mileage out of it. Pittman's ADOT (Average depth of target) is 8.1 this season - his career average is 8.6.    It's also something as simple as TDs. Pittman has 15 TOTAL in his career (4 this season). That doesn't really mark him out as a huge threat.    Then there's something like his ability to create from nothing. Pittman has forced 4 missed tackles this season. 24 Total in his career. He gets the ball, then runs in free space and gets tackled. He doesn't make defenders miss.   Seasonal ADOT, TDs and Missed tackles forced for a bunch of other guys this season:   Stephon Diggs: ADOT 10.3 -- TDs 8 -- MTF 19 DJ Moore: ADOT 11.8 -- TDs 6 -- MTF 15 Ja'Marr Chase: ADOT 9.0 -- TDs 7 -- MTF 16 CeeDee Lamb: ADOT 11.1 -- TDs 7 -- MTF 13 Amon-Ra St. Brown: ADOT 6 -- TDs 7.9 -- MTF 11 Davante Adams: ADOT 11.8 -- TDs 4 -- MTF 5 Keenan Allen: ADOT 9.8 -- TDs 7 -- MTF 7 Puka Nacua: ADOT 9.5 -- TDs 4 -- MTF 8 AJ Brown: ADOT 12.4 -- TDs 7 -- MTF 17 DeVonta Smith: ADOT 12.6 -- TDs 6 -- MTF 6 Josh Downs: ADOT 7.3 -- TDs 2 -- MTF 6 Alec Pierce: ADOT 15.4 -- TDs 1 -- MTF 1   These are just guys I thought of and not picked for any specific reason. He's comparable to Nacua and Keenan Allen, but doesn't compare favorably to them.   I'm not bashing Pittman here. I think he's a great player and I think he can be even better when supported by a guy who the defense need to allocate extra attention to. But we need a playmaker. The guy who can create when there's nothing to find.
