Texans have one WR and colts didn’t even bother to cover him.

They did he beat Brents.  Why he didn’t have safety help over the top I am not sure if that was by design or someone blew an assignment.

they are using a lot of tight end delay routes to stall the d-line. I mean it’s literally 6 on 4 quite often with one of those guys slipping out to be open underneath. All-in-all, if the offense could move the sticks and put points on the board, we would be praising this defense tonight. 

But they’re still completing 10/13 passes?  
 

I get the Dline is outnumbered, but the LBs and secondary outnumber their receivers and they’re still completing and scoring.

Your point?  My point was that Stroud has been the difference in the game and deserving the credit he’s getting not that Minshew should be as good as Stroud.


you said he was making the plays minshew wasn’t. He’s a rookie of the year #2 draft pick versus a 6th round backup qb

We’re trying our hardest! Weak city my *!!!!

CJ is your typical California goober who doesn’t understand a single thing about the Midwest and thinks he’s above everyone. And no, the cushy pampered job of OSU quarterback doesn’t count as being a midwesterner.

Yeah people not wanting to give Stroud credit are just hatters at this point.  He’s been the difference in the game so far.

He’s a beast!!.. but so is Taylor Henike and Jake browning when you give them 7 secs to throw and play 20 yds off receivers

because we run a soft zone that any accurate qb with time is going to pick apart.

Yeah he is, why don’t you read the post I was responding to and see what my point was and not just jump on me for wanting to pick a fight.

Just got into a verbal fight with my father over this game. He has no people skills and is telling me to quit cussing over the game. When I tell him that's how human being act during sports, he calls me sub-human. So I kicked him out of my house. Can't stand fake moral people. Generally have always had a bad relationship with him.

easy brother. I made a statement regarding stroud outperforming minshew and you took offense to it.

gus keeps sticking thomas in cover 3 as the only deep safety and has cross playing the middle of the field .   thomas keeps messing up the coverage and cover the shorter routes .  that is two wide open touchdowns due to thomas  playing the wrong coverage

OLine has fared well this game.  Opened holes for JT and has given Minshew enough time to throw.

Where are they failing?

As whole this season with penalties and injuries they have been a letdown

Almost any corner on an island is going to get beat there. Safety messed up.

First play 75yards.  Half his total yardage on a broken coverage.  Rookies make mistakes.  This game is very winnable.

gus needs to find a way to pressure stroud or we are done, could be they have better talent than we do. we need help from the refs

If we lose this game, Gus definitely needs to go - the lack of pressure makes average QBs look good, and good ones look elite.

Very much still in this game. Getting that FG before half was nice as it kept it a one

score game 

 

Need a turnover…10 quarters without one.  
 

Offensively, guys need to execute better.

That 1 long TD pass is the chunk of his yards. Outside of that, we have stopped them every time but once.

That’s fine, but any QB in the league would be happy with what Stroud has done so far this game. They have 15 runs for 46 yards. He’s not really getting any help. It’s all him.

That wasn’t on Brents.  My guess is a safety (probably Thomas) blew his assignment.

    • Appreciate the response.   A few thoughts to share….   i think Irsay only steps down IF his health deteriorates.  No use in comparing him to Kraft, his health appears to be better even though he’s much older.     But if Irsay stepped aside, here’s why I don’t see the daughters blowing things up and starting over.   If they fire Ballard — fine.  But if they also fire Dodds and Brown, at that point, I think you’d see the rest of the scouting department resign (if they weren’t fired too).  They will all get good jobs elsewhere too.     At that point, Steichen is surrounded by very few who know him.  Worse for the daughters…. There would then be a clear line.   With Irsay vs with the daughters.  And if the new GM doesn’t do well and things go south, then the blame won’t go as much to the new GM as it will to the daughters who decided to blow things up.   They’ll be the focus of incredible hate if the new regime makes fans long for what looks like the good old days of the Ballard years.      The argument for not hiring Dodds or Brown seems to be little more than Ballard-hate.  Those people want nothing more to do with anyone associated with Chris Ballard.   Guilt by association, not because of ability.      Thats why I described hiring one of Dodds or Brown as the easiest, simplest, cleanest move to make.  Much less risk.  But blowing it up and starting over is the far higher risk move.  Threading a tiny needle hoping to get it right.     By the way, if you fire Ballard and company and hire a new GM, who does those interviews?   Honestly, who?   Who would you feel good about conducting the interviews of the new GM?      Firing someone is easy.  Hiring the right person is really hard.    Thanks for your patience. 
    • I just want to be on record now. If the Colts fire Ballard for whatever reason in the next few years, I have no clue what direction they will go. Just wanted to get that out there in case any of you were wondering my opinion on this. 
    • I understand there are a lot of people that don’t know the story. I for one am burnt out on it. I do find it funny they “stole” the Ravens from Cleveland but whine about the Colts leaving. Sports bring out the best homers and team spirit. 
    • Colts by 17. Going to be a rough week for you buddy.    Thats a joke. I have no idea but would probably lean towards the Packers winning if I had to choose. I do think it’s great you may have transitioned to a third franchise QB in a row. I hope Love has a great career for you guys. Always had a soft spot for the Packers and they would probably be my team if I didn’t love the Colts. I enjoy it when you guys are good. Best of luck this year!!  
    • Packers have a pretty strong and balanced team. The defense was able to hold the Chiefs to a low score last year while the offense was perhaps the only one to score over 24 points on the Chiefs defense.    But really it’s hard to say as of right now. Let’s see how everyone fares during training camp and after their season openers. Lots of things can change.
