I think it’s funny that Baker is having a great year in Tampa, meanwhile the “character” the Browns have at QB now won’t even play in the game. Embarrassing. I’m glad PJ is getting more work, he seemed like a good guy when he played for us.

Watson shouldn’t even be allowed in this league but oh well.

It’s called football situational awareness. He did not show good awareness in that first half.

Possibly - however literally every bad thing that happens is Shane’s fault. Very little frustration on player execution, 100% tirade on the coach. Sprinkle in Ballard being terrible.

That’s my point. Colts are so bad they are letting a team who didn’t even take away the ball just have it.

My point is that the Browns are a good team and have a top defense. Interceptions are not necessary for them to be successful. It all starts with their front line.

A lot of the bad stuff today has been dumb, dumb, dumb mistakes by Gardner and special teams. Shane has made a couple of bad play calls. Other than the one big Ford run, the D has been perfect. This is mostly on Gardner.

Thr frustrating part is, other than Myles Garrett & Dustin Hopkins, the Browns aren't really beating us, we're beating ourselves!

I think when u r losing by  9, the other team is besting u. All of your deficiencies are showing. They r playing an elite front, and their Oline is getting hurt by its lack of depth. The wrs cannot do anything and your qb ia a back up. Itw pretty simple actually. A poorly constructed roster.

    • Never underestimate the role of the practice squad for preparing the team for an upcoming game. This give developmental players the opportunity to think like the opponent and learn the nuances of the game.
    • Everyone is bunched up at the bottom:   Brewers 49-34 Cardinals 42-40 Pirates 39-43 Reds 39-44 Cubs 39-45
    • My concerns are less with the players than integrating the way the players we have with the strategies and tactics from some of our coaching - especially on defense. There are no perfect football teams, but you can develop strategies to beat any football team if your are smart enough and creative enough. This brings me to my concern: Are some of the coaches we have too dogmatic in doing things the way they've always been done? I guess we'll find out in a couple of months.
    • Wepner had a strong chin, he was a good fighter.
    • My 2 cents, 4 counting inflation, on the O-Line...    While I agree with @CR91 regarding injury issues, I also agree with @NewColtsFan that the line is above average. Talk about straddling the fence, lol!  They both make valid points though.   LT: Raimann got a late start in college football due to mandatory military service in Austria. He played his first two seasons as a Tight End before being converted into a Tackle. So he was late in the game at LT coming out of college, 25 at the start of his rookie season. That could be either good or bad, meaning he has room to grow or he may be at his ceiling. I am of the belief he has room to ascend and will.   LG: Q isn't the player that the Colts drafted due to injuries, though he seemed to turn the corner last year. I am of the belief that he will continue to ascend to near All Pro status, though it is tempered.   C; Kelly bounced back last year from injuries, family issues, and concussions(yes, they could be considered injuries). I am of the belief that he will be one of the better Centers in the game this year, though Bortolini may be waiting in the wings.   RG: Fries is considered the "weak link" but played reasonably well last year. Another ascending year is very possible and most likely will price him out of the Colts plans in 2025, especially with Concalves and Bortolini as possible replacements.   RT: Smith showed a warriors heart playing injured last year and hopefully his offseason surgery corrected the issue. He has a 19+ million dollar cap hit next year, so there is extra incentive for him to perform to it and hopefully an extension.   Bench: Concalves and Bortolini come in with solid press clippings, and the ability to play more than one position, but have to show it at the pro level, I believe they will. Freeland was shown the baptism by fire treatment and had mixed results. Let's hope he learned from his mistakes and worked on his strength, as the Swing Tackle spot is up for grabs. I don't rule out a veteran FA to take that spot though, plus Witt is a relative unknown quantity due to missing his rookie campaign.    In conclusion, I could see a very good and deep Offensive Line, though injury and experience concerns are definitely something to be aware of.
