Soft team can’t win week 1. No matter how any of you try to explain it away 

If you’re not happy after watching this game, then come back when we’re good because we’re going to be.

[NFLfan]

What happened to AR?

It’s a rookie HC and QB, Wth do people expect. You all would have quit on Peyton Manning day one . Geez

Bad half by AR in general, but Steichen absolutely did not help him.

 

I'm sorry to some of the armchair GMs on here, but we should give Taylor some sort of contract. AR isn't ready yet and needs someone that the O can rely on.

Wrong

[AKB]

we need a quality RB , that is obvious. we cannot keep running AR for 4 yard gains

[bluebombers87]

Couldn’t even get one yard. Defense gave up 31 points. Blame who you want but defense and the lack of offensive weapons along with the terrible o line play.

[richard pallo]

We thought coaching was a problem with Reich.  Shane is off to a horrible start.

[Patrick Miller]

Ar has to learn to slide

[KentuckyFan]

Wish they’d kicked fg and tried onside kick

Reich had YEARS to improve and he got worse, let’s see how Shane responds

# this day. AR hurt. Pipe burst in my house and water leaked everywhere. Refs just did nothing about AR being busted in his head. 
 

I hate this day. 

That’s why I drink my friend. You can either laugh and shake your head or cry… I’ve cried enough about this team. I’ve come to expect our luck has run out for years to come.

The game said otherwise buddy. This teams has no consistent weapons outside of Pittman.

Would not have saved him there. That was targeting

So are we really going to see Minshew next week?

Richardson looked fine. Bowen said no one was even looking at him when he went to the benchZ

we have a 24 year old all pro running back that many here said we didnt need .    instead lets watch deon jackson get 2 yards a carry and average 25 yards a game

Reich just got his * handed to him by Atlanta.

And yet the same issues persist. Defense gives up big points, OL cant get one yard….

Pittman isn’t even a weapon..

Exactly this...

[HungarianColtsFan]

Ok, our losing streak on season openers is extended. 

 

I'm happy about the team and AR5. Our rookie QB did well, but he needs weapons and experience.

 

[Patrick Miller]

How many years in a row have we dropped a season opener? 10.

The defense was tremendous today. What we’re you watching.

[Aces101]

Why not kick the chip shot FG right after the 2:00 warning then try the onside kick? Why waste all that time when 2 scores were needed? Bad strategy by the coaches 

[csmopar]

With the “number one “ overall pick at QB 

[TigerColt]

Didn’t like going for it so many times. Gave up a lot of potential points. 
play calling in the 4th with the lead on starting on the 50 was terrible. That series cost the game along with the big punt return

he’s a rookie HC.  Besides his 4th down calls this was actually a good coached game by him. I put this more on the lack of explosiveness of our offense which isn’t a coaching problem, that’s a GM problem.

no wonder we tried to trade JT for a receiver.

31 points? Tremendous? 14 in the fourth quarter?

You would blame the defense for giving the Jags fantastic field position via turnovers on their scoring drives? The defense played pretty great besides a few plays where our CBs got burned.

Didn’t quit on Manning. The excuse you guys keep making are unreal. This team and the players that have been here for years have no excuses. Slow start after slow start. It’s getting old 

[2006Coltsbestever]

I actually think we played pretty well for the most part. Why not kick the FG and make it a 7 point a game. We still had 2 timeouts. This wasn't a good Shane moment in a couple of situations with the play calling and at the end but it his first game. Growing pains.

Yep we need a dynamic WR. Marv 2.0 please!

Quite a bit of short field situations. The offense was like 0-4 on 4th down conversions

He's a decent WR2. It's something.

I’m out of alcohol. Wife’s car needs new brakes put on, so she took my car to work today. Not gonna pay the outrageous price to have anything delivered. I’m just done today.

How much are you going to pay him?  He wants about 16mil.  AND you don't know if the ankle is healed.  You gonna' pay him??

we don’t need an all pro, we need someone serviceable, and deon couldn’t even be that.  Go get fournette or hunt and we’ll be fine

345 yards of offense for Jax. It’s not tremendous.
