They would have helped Colts win today. I won’t concede that small improvements don’t matter.  Well Ballard and most Colts fans who watched the pre-season disagreed.  I also said I wouldn’t be shocked if Hunt was brought in.  I am not saying they shouldn’t try to get better.  I am just saying more happened today to lead to the Colts being in the position they were in at running back than Ballard just ignoring the running back position.  Can we agree on that?  If we do then I really have no issue with wanting improvement.

Defjamz26 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 This team needs JT or a back with a similar skill set. If Taylor plays we probably win that game. You need to be able to run the ball between the tackles to win in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be able to beat Texans if this defense plays like today. They made Lawrence look average. Imagine what a rookie QB will do. Colts are a better team then Texans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up 21-17 with ball at midfield and huge momentum after fourth down stop and we call run by Jackson who stinks and run by a practice squad guy. Predictably 3rd and long. Have to punt, special teams collapse and Jax TD. Ballgame. Horrible play calling. How long has Bubba been gone? Seems like our ST have sucked since he's been gone.  Rigo seemed to have a bad game imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Waylon Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 It was about what I expected it to be.  Hopefully Richardson isn’t injured.  Jackson was not my favorite today at all. Hopefully Hull doesn’t miss any time.  I don’t mind the 4th down decisions, but I was not impressed with the play calling there.  There was enough to be encouraged with today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interception was more of a good play by the defender than a bad pass from Richardson. Biggest thing for him is to limit how often he throws high. If he would of lobbed the pass (not sure if he can do that) I think that int. would have been a completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR91 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 AR is definitely more far ahead then I thought he was especially compared to the other rookie QBs. I will say this, if we had JT we would have won this game. Jackson was a complete non-factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Look me in the eye and tell me we don't win that game if Taylor was playing. Potentially. It all depends on the cost, as it always has. Â Is losing one game where Taylor COULD have made a difference enough to justify the hit to our cap when we have so many other offensive needs?

Idk why that’s all his throws were. When he threw more then 10 yards all his balls are way to high. He had a dump off in the beginning of the game that was even super high luckily the te caught it. Decision making was good but I was expecting them to have him actually trying to throw down field more. Didn’t expect a win but that game was so winnable it hurlers even more knowing that. Does the line suck or is it just our rbs? Everyone is blaming the backs but I didnt see many holes. The fumbles were on the backs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
