Reason Cross is getting limited snaps as well. We need to draft a FS and SS 

I haven't seen Cross miss assignments, or get burned. 

 

and in most metrics, our safety duo of Thomas and Blackmon compete with Top 5s. 

 

That's why Cross isn't seeing the field. Thomas missed some tackles today, but he has been elite in coverage all year, so has blackmon.

 

But with that being said, i'd rather see thomas or cross playing out side corner than Baker Jr

It takes a lot of work to find such an example. The poster would have to look at every post in very thread.

Lololol

They got exposed today. Covered up by our pass rush improving. When we don’t get home those guys get exposed

Despite everything, with the Houston loss we are still #7 and after we beat Pitt next week, we will be #6 at worse. Pitt isn't anywhere near as talented as Cincy is. We have just won 4 in a row, not sure why anyone needs to be this ridiculous over 1 loss. I have never seen anything like this in all my years here. I even said before the game we may lose because Cincy needed this a lot more than us. The loss doesn't prove anything to me 1 way or the other. We had a bad game it happens. 

I believe we might stay there even with a bills and broncos win. We will see. If both them lose we are still sitting nice. But the way Minshew looked today I don’t want to imagine next week against the Steelers.

He didn’t have time.  It’s not just Minshew struggling today.  The whole team is.

I agree that the whole team is flailing today, but you'd expect your QB to have the situational awareness to do something quickly.

Yeah, to me he is." "He's an elite processor of the game, and when you've got a guy that can process the game quickly and make quick decisions," Steichen said

minshew is NOT an elite backup, really wish people would stop saying it

yes, he is very average. I wish they would have him under center more and run the ball with some play action or bootlegs. Then you wouldn’t be relying on a shaky qb to win games. Adjust to the players you have.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We don’t need a SS. Hopefully Blackmon is extended.

I have no clue. And for the record, I don’t want any new ones. I just have a feeling with now 55 plus QBs hurt this year, far more than any year in league history, it’s going to be looked at closely

 

Some of the injuries were non-contact ones. New rules will not change that.

Make the claim, back it up.

They’ve been skipping practice on Wednesday for weeks now.  You only get better by practicing and focusing.  

[Nesjan3]

I dont know. I get it fandom and all, glass half full, not empty. Hoping and wishing for the best. But just take a look at the big picture from a neutral perspective. Do people really think we are a playoff team with Minshew leading the charge, or did we just get a bunch of wins against the worst teams in the league, barely at that.

I truly feel we need an upgrade 

[Aaron86]

Why do we go so conservative. Blitz the crap out of him and make him use his brain. And I cant stand Minshew. I am tired of having a QB that can't push the ball down field. I'm * we went soft!

I thought Dingus was referring to a forum member.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That falcons game is going to really matter although it’s a nfc game. That defense is good.

[Dingus McGirt]

Lol

[jemack]

Very sloppy game today. Dumb penalties, ST mistakes and not enough pressure on their QB. 

The Online played like 3 day old doo doo.

There's a big difference in technique between CB and S. In no way would I be comfortable having Cross play outside corner all of a sudden. I'd much rather play the CB behind Baker over an out of position safety like Cross. Hopefully Brents is back next week and we don't have to worry about it again.

Well the game stunk…but hey at least I got to enjoy commiserating with you all 😊

They have done that all through the win streak.  Have you been saying that for the past month or just today?

Just today although i never thought taking Wednesday off was a good idea. It’s not like the colts have been dominating in the win streak against bad teams.

I have never once said Minshew was elite. I have always said great backup and above average starter that has played good football at times. So don't include me on whoever said that. As a matter of fact, most people in here thinks  Minshew stinks, read the posts. I defend him when people post dumb bullcrap like that. Plain and simple.

Calling him  an above average starter itself is umm what you describe in your second to last sentence.

"What backup would you rather have? Minshew knows the system. With ARs inability to stay healthy having a good vet is needed"

 

-Jvan

 

...I’m glad he is here but I wouldn’t say he is playing great even for a backup. During this 4 game win streak he has more turnovers than TDs. Colts are almost winning despite Minshew. Of course there is way more to it than that stat

 

-awesome austin

 

Purdy is minshew with better wrs

 

-stephen

 

 

 

2006 also thinks Minshew is better than Browning, and what Browning just did is purdy level

 

so let's not pretend like people weren't on here ranting and raving about how great of a backup minshew is, and some even saying he should start. and it goes on, trust me

[Lancer1]

Sam gets this last series

But that’s not the same as calling him elite

he isn't a great backup, either. also, many people in here, like you, think he's a great back up, and those poosts are plentiful

Both sides need to temper expectations.

Really?  I asked a serious question in response to a snarky post about Minshew.  I wasn’t trolling.  But, thanks for your “dumb crap” comment.

You confuse me man. Above average isn't stinking. We lost today. It is what it is.

You're good! I would not have been able to find them.

Do you know how rare it is to have a good backup?

I have no clue why anyone is surprised by Minshew. Game is on Shane today. We looked very unprepared today

not that rare apparently.
