You cannot have the highest paid OL in the league and one of the highest paid RBs and to not get an inch of movement in such situations.

This should be a team strength, but we always fail those up the gut runs at the goal line.

Hust noticed there are only roughly 25 fans here today.    That’s about half of what we normally have.    How sad….

 

Might be related to fact there are like 5000 here at the game. We are everywhere in this stadium!!

I’m all for investing in the trenches, but it has to actually work. After 5 years, the DL (when healthy) is pretty potent. The OL peaked five years ago with Glow in the lineup, and has gone up and down since then, despite the heaps of money we’ve thrown at it.

I don’t get the QB sneak from the 2. That’s weird. Taylor second down call is fine. Bad, bad penalty on third. Third down play, Minshew falls all over himself. This team just can’t help themselves sometimes.

Yeah, I didn’t understand the purpose of the 1st down call there.  It was essentially a waste of a play considering they were more than a yard out and basically did nothing formation wise to disguise the intention to QB sneak

Yeah. 1st and goal from the 3 should be able to pound 4 straight times if that’s what it takes.

I just don't know where to put the blame. It has been a problem for a while now... accross multiple HCs and OL coaches, The constant is the highly paid OLinemen on the interior where we are supposed to be really strong.

Only thing I can think of is that they were trying to get the play before the replay of the Pitt possible fumble??

Yeah that was a bad play call. I really like SS’s play calling and creativeness, but that was a bit too cute

I think the Oline was good up until and including 2020. But, the way the Oline and Dline were handled in ‘21 and the Oline in ‘22 was reason enough to fire Ballard. Mismanagement in my opinion.

I think they probably just aren’t all that great

    • The Colts have been in Indy for 40 years.   And we have a lot more banners in the rafters than most teams. 
    • My observations.....   SS is imo not a very good coach right now.  Perhaps he can learn but I am not liking what I am seeing.  For one, his play calling is very very vanilla.  Pretty much Frank Reich 2.0.  He was supposed to be an offensive guru.  Innovative.  New.  I don't see anything from him that says that at all.  He does not play to AR's strengths and instead seems to want to make him into a drop back QB.   It wasn't until the 4th Q that he started to play to his strengths and you could see AR's confidence rise like the morning sun.  His entire demeanor changed.  He actually got excited.  And for heavens sakes....ese Taylor much much more.  Get him some swing and screen passes.  USE THE GUY.  He is the best player on the team by far and yet is used half as much as he should be.   And let me say this.  The play right before the 2 minute warning.  The kickoff? To me SS not telling the returners to run the ball no matter what just to get rid of the 2 minute warning?  A coach should be fired for that.  That is SO BASIC of an instruction to tell your kickoff team that I am sure it is something that would happen in pee wee football.  The fact that SS failed to do that throws up so many red flags imo and is exactly something that Frank Reich would do.   I don't think he is very quick in his feet and his ability to adapt is poor.  And for a QB guru?  AR seems to be regressing.  Not progressing.   AR imo will be fine.  More than fine.  He has all the ability in the world and I really have to wonder why there are so many anti AR fans on this board.  He has played all of what?  7 games?   Who do you guys want instead as qb?   Wentz?  Rivers?  He is young.  Very talented.  Very high ceiling.  I will take my chances with him.  I really wonder though why he is not progressing with his accuracy.  Throwing a ball to a WR is something he has been doing since he was a kid.  It is almost like fielding a ground ball in baseball or shooting a free throw.  It should be a very basic thing to complete a 5 yard swing pass.  If I thought he was overwhelmed mentally or just did not have the talent to throw I would say that.  But he normally makes good reads and does not seem at all flustered by NFL defenses.  But his ball just sails.  Again, for an NFL Qb guru, SS is really failing AR in this regard.    Chicago is not a very good team and the Colts would not have probably won against many other teams but a win is a win so it is what it is. 
    • It has nothing to do with how storied they are.   Because its actually harder to get tickets to thier teams games, so they make even more on them than people in Indianapolis do.    Its simply because they dont sell thier team out to make a few bucks, because they care more about it than people in Indianapolis. They would rather go to the game.  
    • I hope you are correct. I don't feel that way though. I hope I am wrong but 6 interceptions in 3 games? On pace for 34.....
    • This entire sub-thread has been about the fans.    If the packers up and moved next week to Duluth, would those fans have the same level of loyalty as the Green Bay fans? No.
