That was a ridiculously bad play call by Shane. RB draw up the gut with Sermon?!

Different back...same play.

 

Don't know what is up with SS today, but he is just plain bad today.  Major reason we're losing.

Can't rally the troops and bad play calling.

Yep. Steichen is a conservative play caller with Minshew. Absolutely makes the offense insufferable to watch.


Outside Downs, there’s not many guys that separate on a dime and staying ahead on downs is what we have to hope for. Not this game

Well positives is that the Colts are getting the help they need in the wild card race (pending Broncos game) and if you were going to lose one of the last three this was the one to lose.

Minshew not delivering the ball on time. He’s not trusting that first read. 

Because his first read isn’t open.

Colts will most likely stay in the 7 spot this week, even with this loss.(if we don't come back and win)

 

Have to go look, but think they should with Texans losing.

I think you are right because we own the tiebreaker over the Steelers and Texans who own it over the Bengals, so if the Colts, Steelers, Texans and Bengals are all 8-7. Colts get the tiebreaker due to common opponent wins and Conference record. Bengals beating us head to head goes out the window because of the 4-way tie.

This is why I wanted Ridder to play... I knew Heinicke would provide the spark because he plays like the retired Fitzpatrick and the Colts have a habit of making backup qbs look like HOFs. Pittman being out REALLY hurt the passing game. This is the game in which Pierce SHOULD be our Tee Higgins as a high draft pick!! Our receiver room needs a couple more EXPLOSIVE ones....

With our offense seemingly in a coma, I'm  not sure the results would be all that different even with Ridder in the game, with the exception of Heinicke's veteran savvy.

I've noticed that. It looks like he's off timing, then has tried to fire it in to make up for it, but the WR isn't ready for the pass when it's getting there. All in line with him panicking when there's no pressure.

    • 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.
