This is about Oline crapping themselves with crucial penalties and Minshew not taking care of the ball. 


Minshew is not as strong as AR to withstand DL contact, just that AR’s injuries came against impact to the ground. 
 

Our OTs can’t handle elite pass rushers 1-on-1 and you’d expect a TE to get an effective chip but good players make plays.

I'm not sure how they do it, but this stuff is scripted. Hear me out:

Last week..Adam Archuletta says...we haven't heard anything from Josh Allen...boom..strip sack fumble ...turns the game

Today...Adam Archuletta says...we haven't heard anything from Myles Garrett...boom...strip sack fumble..turns the game

What are the odds?

Was Dungy the play caller?

 

No, Peyton was, but as explosive as they could be, in big spots like these - end of half moments, etc. - they generally played it smart and safe, especially after about 2003.  That came from Dungy.

You really can’t blame coaching he gave him help with the TE who did a good chip block to give freeland time to set and the play was going to the other side of the field. You really can’t help a lineman any more. 

How bout u don't line up in shot gun near the goaline. U line up under center and run the ball.  U play for points and Steichen doesn't appear to get that

Tom Moore was the playcaller. He would give Manning three options each play.

How bout not having Minshew in shotgun around the goal ine and run the ball? Knowing u have a rookie tackle on an elite pass rusher should affect your play calling. 

 

Yeah, hand the ball off against that line would have worked so well. 

 

You do realize what the Shotgun formation is for, right?

He may take sacks, that’s what it is, but fumbling the ball - TWICE - is carelessness. Especially when he had the chance to throw it away on the second one. 
 

Fries needs to stop with the holdings. Stopped drives twice.

Speaking of Ballard picks, when’s the last time Quitty Paye got any sort of pressure on a qb? Yet another Ballard 1st round bust!

Yes it has. But it's not because of Steichen's playcalling. It's because of talent discrepancy between their DL and our OL and our QB has the awareness of a capybara

Colts have 250 yards on offense and down six. Good playing calling bad decision making by Steichen.  17 points given to browns.

This is a ridiculous take. 

 

Steichen didn’t tell Minshew to drop the ball twice.

We got ball back in 2nd half. Run and punt it. Cleveland offence is a disaster. Their defence is their offence.  U r playing for field position.

    • I think even though the sample size was small last season it gave people a false sense of where he is. But we also can’t ignore thst maybe the regression is just because of the lack of off season work. If it’s just the lack of offseason work it should correct itself fairly quickly. We should def him settle in by game 6 or 7.
    • It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.
    • They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.
    • Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.   
    • His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.
