  1. 1. Who wins?

  2. 2. Do you still get pumped up when the Colts play the Patriots?

    • Meh, the Patriots aren't any good.

  3. 3. Bonus Question#1 : Do you think Belichick gets fired if the Patriots lose?

  4. 4. Bonus Question#2: After this game, the Colts will have a bye week. Do you believe that teams that play games outside the United States should have their bye weeks before or after the game?

    • The week before the game
    • The week after the game
    • Either the week before or the week after playing outside the USA (no other time)..
    • Having a game outside the United States should have no bearing on when a team's bye week is scheduled.

Minshew will be this teams backup next year again…

 

 

and if he isn’t.. He is going to start against the Colts and have his best game of his career.

Is that a free pass to miss tackles? Leonard is getting paid that much and not missing as much as Franklin.

He also isn’t playing as many downs is he? I think he would be missing a lot more if he played more. JMO

Not even close. Last season was so bad it got Reich fired.

i agree last year was worse. today, we are seeing a bad minshew

Minshew definitely looks scared back there.

 

 

If he can't stay under control a little more, we may need to go to Sam or Mond...

He shouldn’t miss as many. I have expectations of Leonard based on how much he is paid. Franklin is different and gets paid differently.

The guy just got back from an injury that just as well may have ended his career. He's playing his first season in the scheme. Moore looked like crap last season too, but he and Bradley figured it out this season. Leonard has been our best LB going into this game, but sure, still not up to his old self. Maybe we should extend Leonard the same courtesy as Moore got, hm?

With Reich and Ryan in this game we’d be down like 30-0. 
 

Matt Gay scores a 50 yarder!

It seems that he should be doing better. He seems to be panicking a bit.

pocket has been decent, receivers are doing decent, not getting it

Leonard -- Snaps: 406, Missed tackles: 4

 

Franklin -- Snaps: 565, Missed tackles: 13

 

Normalise Leornard's snaps to 565 and he'd have 5.57 missed tackles... it's not even in the same league...

Arguable he’s our best LB. Stats can be funny sometimes but eyeball test shows he isn’t the leader on that field. He doesn’t seem to care, gets mauled and then complains about being underused.

 

Hes not worth 100 million.

but do they count it as a missed tackle, if ur nowhere near the play? 

 

these stats can easily be explained to go either way 

 

and u know i generally agree with u solid

Maybe it’s cuz Leonard isn’t even trying to tackle.

If he's no where near the play odds are it's not his play to make...

well that's not what i mean. 

 

Franklin is faster, and gets to the ball faster. 

 

so if he gets there first, or if leonard is not attempting first contact as often, those stats mean nothing

    • I’m not saying anyone is infallible.  Far from it.   But as I shared with another poster tonight, I never think I’m smarter than a GM, or HC or coordinator or even a position coach.  Even ones I don’t like.      If you want to believe the word of someone on a podcast, go right ahead.   I think it’s a bad, bad look.   But hey, you’re certainly not the only one here who does that.    But certainly not me.    Good luck with that.  
    • That was great throw. It came in clean and Mitchell had both hands on it before the db knocked it out. This is the nfl, you have to SECURE, CATCH, and HOLD ONTO THAT BALL. You have to fight for every ball in the nfl(unless you are playing the Colts and you get to waltz through the secondary in front of lb's and db's for uncontested 15 yard gains). The one game Pittman missed Mitchell had 7 catches so he just needs to be more consistent. I still think he is a rare talent. But, remember also, we need Richardson to improve also and get our offensive line intact. 6-7 is pretty good, all things considered(including Bradley being the dc).
    • Because I have eyes and I can see what our defense is doing, I can see what instructions he's giving, where they are lined up, how many are rushing, how many are deep, etc. and I can make an informed deduction about what's happening. And in this case Tice is absolutely correct and what he saw was what I saw too and it looked exactly like what he describes - Gus Bradley had no idea they were trying to get into long FG range. He was only thinking about the Hail Mary.    I have no idea why you always give the benefit of the doubt to everybody in this organization despite what you can actually see with your own two eyes.   Of course Steichen won't say anything mid-season about his DC. Hell, even if he fires him after the season he still won't say anything overly negative, because this is the business and it's bad for business to burn bridges and flame people with reputation and long time careers in the league.   You can still watch what happens and make a conclusion for yourself. I promise you, the world won't end if you don't take the word of the GM, HC or the DC as gospel. As amazing as you think they are, they are not the chosen, infallible ones.
    • Have you perhaps had a little too much holiday cheer?   Some spiked eggnog?     “…. If the fans can see it, why can’t the Colts brass?”   Since I arrived here nearly 13 years ago, I have always maintained that the dumbest GM of all-time — whoever you think that is — knows more about football than anyone in our community.   And it likely isn’t even close.      For what it’s worth, people here used to think Granson sucked.   Then Steichen was hired and eventually was asked about his tight end room.  And he said nice things about several players, but most of all Granson.   Suddenly people here said nice things about Granson and he had a decent 2023.     For some unknown reason, the whole Colts TE room has fallen off this season including Granson.   But this idea that he should never play another snap again is embarrassing.     If you look again at the first paragraph I wrote I tried to give you a way out.  A chance to say you were blowing off steam and you really didn’t mean it.  I hope you’ll take that to heart.  You’re much smarter than this.
