First off minshew is terrible…. 2nd Granson is not the guy that’s going to actually make that play.. he’s shown us that the past couple yrs 


First off, Minshew is not terrible.   He’s a backup pressed into starting duty.  He had limitations, but he’s one of the top QB2 in the league.

Keep in mind guys, they’re selling out to stop the run, knowing we want to milk the clock. That’s leaving us with 3rd and long. Forcing a bad situation for a player who has his favorite target missing.

 

Hes not turned the ball over. Hes not lighting it on fire but he’s not shooting us in the foot.

It all changed when the Panthers adjusted to stuffing the run and said we dare you to beat us throwing.  The Colts simply just can’t do it.

 

Other teams will use this plan as well going forward and their QBs are probably not going to throw 2 pick 6s so a lot to work on/figure out on Steichen’s part

Oh I fully expect New England to come out this way next week.  I am honestly shocked more teams haven’t after the Jags did it.

I feel like we stopped using our TEs?

My guess maybe it's because we have been using them more to help block. I know earlier they said Minshew is the most blitzed QB in the league so I imagine we would use our TEs to do more chip blocking or straight blocking than running routes.

 

this is just a guess though

    • 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.
