Someone needs to have a serious talk with Gus Bradley.

Some of it is inexperienced corners.

good game

[Happy2BeHere]

Hopefully AR is cleared and able to come back next week. I’m confident with Minshew though if not so again..at least there’s that.

[AKB]

next week will be a good test for our team

[Patrick Miller]

Be OK with a Minshew next week. I do hope we bring in some veteran secondary help.

this year seems like all blame will go to inexperience.

 

HC - bad coaching inexperienced coach

QB - inexperience

DB - inexperience

I’m not really impressed by stroud numbers.  They look good, but in context he’s been sacked 5 times and got majority of his yards due to the cover 2 and our lack of defensive back talent.  He threw 38 times and averaged like 8yds.  I’ll take that.  I agree however in hindsight, we did go to the cover 2 early but I also understand the logic of the decision.  That last drive we applied pressure and if we had a corner better than baker, that drive probably wouldn’t have lasted as long

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wesley French looked ok today. They kept Minshew clean. Oline is improving.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I don't care if it is Houston - a win is a win, I am celebrating this win with a strong Crown Royal on Ice and just opened up a big Cigar. We had no major injuries, I am sure AR will be fine by next week. Minshew held the fort down anyway. Great win, long time coming baby!

They have like 3rd string backups playing on the Oline.

Indin-apolis. 
 

Did people forget how to pronounce the name?

[bluebombers87]

88 yards rushing. This will work

You think Steichen is a bad coach?

A lot of it is, but why go into Cover Nothing when your DBs are questionable? Let the Dline work!

I don’t think people understand how bad we may look if we decide to not go cover 2 and play more man.  Lol 

 

baker, brown, and Moore is not a good corner group no matter how much we blitz or play zone.

what was ballard thinking ? starting rookie cbs

[stitches]

I love seeing Steichen use EVERY trick in the book and every opportunity he has to give this team the slightest of chances. Sure, those shenanigans might almost never work... but we lose nothing by trying it and in the rare ocassions it works, it gives you an edge.

I thought that was kind of understood going into this season. The expectation wasn't to be a super bowl contender, just to be competitive and get all of those guys experience.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looks like baker mayfield found a nice spot in Tampa. Now 2-0.

[IndyEric07]

Whats the rookie pass yards record? Stroud may break it!?

Maybe if he plays Baker every week lol

[coltsfan_canada]

if AR out of concussion protocol who will start next week.

 

GM vs AR

[bluebombers87]

Someone please pick off stroud. Tired of hearing that.

[Hark]

Online kept Anderson in check all day

AR of course?

They do, but we’re not an elite defense either.  Just because they’re 3rd string, doesn’t mean we have the talent to get 10 sacks.  Also, we don’t have the corners to match up with them whether we play zone or man.  But with all that, it’s not like stroud was launching it down the field, he averaged 8yds per catch.    Checkdown Charlie ain’t gonna cut it when you’re trying to win. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Glad to see that thinking they should win this game was right.

Seriously?

[bluebombers87]

End the game with a sack. Well done

[2006Coltsbestever]

Baltimore beat Cincy so I won $50 there, I just won $50 on the Colts. COLTS WIN! Buckner ends it with our 6th sack!

The franchise QB.

DeFo with the easy sack. 

[Happy2BeHere]

Win! A win is a win, and an all around good win. Hope our defense in that secondary can improve sooner than later!

Can't wait until next year when he's reunited with Marvin H. Jr.
