Colts vs Panthers post game reaction

I remember when Baker Mayfield was a draft prospect and there was a lot of talk about whoever drafted him needing to make sure to prioritize scheming out of pocket launch points to help minimize his height being an issue with passing down the middle of the field. Young probably could benefit from that. Minshew too to be honest... 

Mayfield also had one of the fastest ball velocity tests at 6’0. 58mph I think.   So he can get the ball where it needs to be when throwing on the move.

Hopefully Pittman doesn’t develop concussion symptoms after this game.

He didn't seem to get hit in the head, so hopefully he doesn't.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Did anyone laugh at how bored Reich looked not calling plays.

I think it was @csmoparwho said that this past draft's QB analysis by the pundits was just really bad. 

 

I think they fell in love with whichever QBs projected to look the most like Mahomes and simply ignored some basic stuff.

I agree. Which is why I think a guy like who the raiders got at QB is gonna work out longer, better. With the right coach of course

That was like watching paint dry. If panthers made the offense look like that I can’t imagine what pats d will do. Their defense is actually good.

The Panthers have an overall good defense. They've lost due to their abysmal offense more than anything this year. The Colts didn't look too hot offensively, but we also didn't pass the ball too much considering we had a lead through most of the games. Even the best teams have ugly wins from time to time, and I far rather win ugly then lose while scoring big (which has primarly been the case in the last three weeks)

So far, we've earned a participation trophy.

So does every other team but one every year. I'm happy to see a better overall team this year, even with the starting QB down.

I wonder why we don’t get our TEs more involved?

I will give you that. I think they knew panthers were not going to score much so they played it safe so we didn’t turn it over and give them free points.

Colts won...seasons over.

It’s a head scratcher for sure.  Maybe they aren’t improving their game as much as we would have hoped.

Seems like we’re still limiting the play book for some reason

27 offensive yards in the second half? WOW 😳

[richard pallo]

The running offense was very pedestrian.  Just straight ahead stuff most of the game.  Probably hoping JT would break one.  Have to get a little more creative there.  Need to run wide more imo.

Steichen has not been very creative in play calling and it is hurting the pass and run. Especially second half. 

[RollerColt]

You know Reich had a similar issue when here. Good offense in the first half, hang on for dear life in the second to win. 
 

Perhaps it’s not all on the coaching but the players themselves who can’t execute. 

[Defjamz26]

Good:

-Kenny Moore…that’s the quote

-No Minshew turnovers

-He’s got work to do in coverage, but Jones as a physical corner is playing great. Like Brent’s, he lays the wood as a tackler and I love him getting in the receivers face after plays.

-Odeyingbo has turned into a solid depth pass rusher 

 

Bad:

-2nd half offense was awful. Won’t beat every team taking your foot off the gas like that

-Are you guys with me on the Pittman train yet? We saw that Downs has been carrying this receiver core. Even with him out Pittman couldn’t break out

-Leonard: He had 10 tackles but no splash plays again. Almost every LB we play looks as good or better than him.

-Safety play was again awful, but today their lack of speed to close showed.

-Bradley needs to go. Playing in a soft zone all game to not give up the big play, only to consistently get beat deep is concerning. 2nd game in a row this has happened and he’s lucky Kenny bailed us out twice.

 

Takeaway: Ugly win that the defense carried us to by scoring two touchdowns. Receivers and speed in the 2nd and 3rd levels of the defense are still big concerns going forward. This team needs a healthy Josh Downs asap. Bradley continues to be a let down.

Loved Kenny Moore today! Great moment for him. It was a fun game for that reason. Other than that, it was a pitiful win. The offense looked pathetic without Josh Downs. Unfortunately, this win is going to hurt draft seeding, and the performance today did nothing to convince me that this team is anything that resembles a contender.

Most of this is not having a elite QB. Backup QB are so inconsistent.

Next weeks win is really going to hurt our position too. I love it - screw this tank garbage.

[ShuteAt168]

49-57-1. Fair & balanced, Shute posts when we win or lose.

I get it.  I was just reacting to the achievement of equalling last years win total.  It was sarcasm.

People * and moaned for us to run more and not lean on Minshew so much and that’s what we did. Despite the fact they were stuffing the box and blitzing the hell out of Minshew.  We got a few first downs in there and thankfully Moore’s heroics and some pressure on their QB who couldn’t handle it (which is why we should have blitzed all game  long). But Minshew is not a guy who can beat the blitz like upper eschelon QBs . 67 yards was foreseeable.

[#12.]

Well, we can beat the guy we just fired, so that's good.

What's up my friend, hope all is well. Yeah, we were up 17 so at that point we were playing it safe, avoiding any chance at Turnovers and just running the clock. Hence the 27 yards.

Watched the game at the casino today. Bought a brand new complete in-box sega genesis today at the flea market, and decided to go the casino to see if I could make the money back. Ended up winning $100 and making it back + $20. It was fun to watch Kenny Moore and I love those moments, but the offense was frustrating to watch.

 

This game just proves why I was right that I wanted to watch Richardson and not Minshew at QB and complained about it so much.

The Good

• Moore! What a game he had!
• DeFo had a good game. 
• Leonard led the team in tackles. Not his former maniac level with the turnovers, but good. 
• Blackmon had some pretty good actions on a couple of run plays. 
• JT had some good plays on offense, but beyond that…

 

 

The Bad

• … the offense was really bad. We SO needed Downs.
• I hate our prevent defense with a passion. 
• Baker is still a liability even if he didn’t get picked on as much today. 

Oh i missed it.  What happend to Downs??

Downs hurt his knee in practice Thursday. He tried to play and couldn’t go.
