You design your offense around your playmakers.  You make use of their playmaking ability.  Without Taylor being available we’re stuck.  No doubt that if we had Taylor coach would have designed plays to take advantage of his playmaking ability.  That’s what good coaches do.  Get the ball into your playmaker’s hands.

Here is my take on Taylor. He had not the greatest year and was coming off an injury. I truly beleive this. If Steichen thought that he was the guy that would drive this offence with Richardson, he would have whispered in  Ballard's ear to extend him. That never happened, and Steichen wants to spend that money on wrs and tight ends. Juat my take.

I don't know if Taylor will be a factor.. I do think that is why his contract isn't extended. He coming off injury and hasn't played in this new coaching offense. JMO

Richardson just needs time.

Just remember we got a 2nd and 5th for Marshall Faulk in his prime. So I'm thinking we would get less for Taylor. 

Marshall was made for today's football.

You could be on to something here. We don’t know where Steichen is in this. I expect a RB signing this week.

I do think Richardson needs time. At the the same time I don't believe he should be the teams leading rusher. His arm is to strong and just needs more work and more passing calls. I fear him being leader rusher will be ending with bad injuries.. JMO

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

What a great report card for Richardson. I am shocked young’s decision making was that bad. Plus. Look at what we could do to stroud next week.

Agreed on that one.  Runs to the outside or wide open lanes lol.

I bet Steichen is more involved in dwcsiin making than most people realize. Ballard's trust with Irsay has had to decrease.  Ballard knows he better listen to Steichen.

3 points is 3 points but it can demoralize the other team. I was glad to get rid of reich, but we arent kicking field goals. Respect the game, belicheck takes every field goal he can get and it works out very well. 

[4daUColts]

Were going to find ourselves in alot of ties and 4 point leads if we dont use our kicker.

[John Hammonds]

I think Steichen kept going for it on 4th down because he was confused.  He thought people would get a free Big Mac for every field goal we didn't make.

We left 6 points on the board and lost by ten. We could have kicked a field goal with 2.5 minutes left. Defensive stop, and another field goal, games ours. Man jt should feel like % for not playing today, he owes ar a serious apology.

Should have kicked the FG on 4th instead of trying for the TD. 

Did anyone else feel like we really picked up the first down on 3rd down? Terrible spot and if we didn’t rush it I think we would of challenged.

Yeah. Steichen should have called the timeout and let his coaches review the play. Instead he rushed up to the line.

Plus the one 4th down miss led to a jags TD. Instead of pinning them deep.

I’m going to rewatch the game to confirm what I think I saw live…..

When we’re not going to score a bunch of points we gotta take them where we can. Just an opinion

Let’s not get too excited about next week, yet.

[#12.]

Even with a rookie QB and some rookie coach decision making, it was a very winnable game.  Special teams swung it.  If they back the Jags up at the 5, they win.  With Bubba, you didn’t see that much.

 

For Richardson's first game, you can't complain.  The accuracy needs to improve considerably, but everyone knew that.

 

It is odd, though, that just a few years ago people were criticizing Luck for exposing his body to hits, trying to get first downs, trying to win games while people now just expect Richardson to do the same thing and make it through a season.

You do realize Stroud and Young were on the road and AR was at home....right?

I doubt it.  He’s a rookie head coach.  He decides who’s he going to play but that’s about it.  He hasn’t earned any more say than that.  Irsay has the experience.  He’s no rookie owner. He’s been around the block a number of times.  Ballard is no newbie either.  Irsay is adamant that we are not trading Taylor.  Ballard drafted him.  He’s one of his picks.  A very accomplished one at that.  You don’t give players like that away.  Ballard has said it a number of times.  A trade has to be a win win for both sides.  Lamar Jackson said he would never play for the Ravens again.  But he is.  It just might work itself out.

So. That doesn’t excuse bad decision making. Stroud looked ok. Apparently young was really bad. They played falcons. Not some great team.

I expect he hasn’t been too involved yet. That will come in the off season after this foster is evaluated.

Can we give a round of applause to Kenny Moore today. He almost had a sack on Lawrence and was on Ridley a few times. He looked good.

Defense played well enough to win.  It felt like they started at midfield all game.

Yep it was very impressive that Ridley was on his way to a historic performance and they moved Moore on to him and you didn’t hear his name again.  That’s the Kenny Moore that made the pro-bowl.

Gosh I forgot about that. Because Ridley got most of his yards in the first half. I really like Gus as a DC. He really listens to his players and will make changes if he thinks it will help the team.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Steichen kind of abandoned what worked first half. Its impressive Richardson had same stats as Lawrence through 2.5 quarters.

The Jags also adjusted and started taking away what was working in the first half.  The Jags played a very good game on defense as well and need credit.  

[IinD]

AR's pocket awareness was nice to see.

You can clearly see when qb's don't have it but he definitely does.

 

He looks like he'll progress well for us.

 

I do have to complain about Pierce though. Hopefully it clicks for him soon.

If Pittman plays this well next few games he will be extended I think by mid season. Richardson learned quick today he is the guy he trust. His security blanket.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

 

[tncoltsfan57]

Defense good for 3+ quarters....same as last year!

WR's outside of Pittman can't seem to get open.

OL is a C- at best.

Special teams let Agnew steal 50+ yards on a punt return that should have been on the 5!

AR was pretty good, that pick killed us though!

I'm 66 and can run better than Deon Jackson and I won't fumble!

A little too aggressive on going for 4th down and passing up FG that hurt but better than Reich for sure.

Andrew Luck "quit", he didn't retire...sorry I digress.

Go Colts!!!

Im not a huge football fan but im still impressed how well ar played today. Considering how dangerous a runner he is, itd be cool to see some "controlled chaos" to keep the defense guessing. Deeper dropbacks and designed out of pocket scrambles, it was his first game but i think this team and alec pierce could benefit from some well designed backyard football.

I agree about the backyard football. That’s how mahomes gets WR so open all the time.

When our defense can actually rest on the sidelines before heading right back out there over and over again they are a very good defense. They showed them on the sidelines before the last touchdown the jags scored and they were all exhausted. Who can blame them, they were out there the whole 2nd half it felt like.

I’m not so sure. The OL got no push 

 

It's not just about the push from the oline. JT would have  taken attention away from AR
