See my previous post about time of possession…it’s A LOT on the defense why we lost again.

Also a lot on the offense for not putting anything together

We made adjustments on defense. Just need the QB to not throw the ball to the other team or 10 yards past his receivers 🤣🤣🤣

This loss isn't on Gus Bradley lol.

sort of because of the rushing D in the 1st half but AR needs to give us more than 10. I picked GB to go to the SB because they are a complete team. When Love comes back they will win the division. Lions just lost too.

It’s a very rookie QB….he isn’t Tom Brady or

peyton manning…he needs more time than 19 minutes a game to get things going.

Time has nothing to do with throwing into double or triple coverage. He had 3 picks today (one was the Hail Mary but he also threw one that should’ve been picked earlier in the series).

yeah, but it really doesn't matter, because we only allowed 16 points. but couldn't score more than 10. so the issue is more on ballard/offesive ineptitude than it is the offense. 

 

they gave up 200+ yards in the first half, and only a handful second. doesn't matter really if its passing or rushing, yards are yards in that case. 

we shouldn't of lost to a backup scoring 16

If you went to a team and said your defense is gonna hold the other team to 16 points, they won’t call it great but they would also say that’s acceptable.

okay, so what if it was 100 yards passing, and 140 yards rushing? in the end the only thing that matters is points scored. and to be clear, I agree gus should be fired. but this loss is not because of him.

looked like AR hurt his foot at the end, he didn't even step into the hail mary, or run around. 
wouldn't be surprised to see Flacco next week

We have backups on another team playing starting roles on this team.

Could you tell how AR hurt his foot ?  Was it the sideline dive ?

He was vilified on this board.

As is every QB who lines up under center for the Colts.

I think all-around it was just a bad game. Taylor was good 12 for 103, that is the one of 3 positive's I can think of. Pierce gave great effort too. AR had 1 great play, that 11-yard run for a 1st down.

Matt Gay needs to be cut

Please. We both know that isn’t true

[azcolt]

AR should go back to Florida and learn how to play college ball first. Get your paper bags ready. It’s D O L T S  time🤣

Name one who wasn't at some point, I can't think of any although I've only been here since about 2020 - in that time, I've seen 6 or 7 different QBs take snaps for us and they've all been vilified.

Not to the extent that Minshew was for things that we today saw AR do but are explained away. Rivers wasn’t to this extent. JB wasn’t. Luck and manning sure as heck wasn’t but they did get criticized.

Rivers was slammed when he began here, especially after losing in Jacksonville in Week 1 and throwing a couple of picks while doing so. He was proclaimed to be done, with a noodle arm and the inability to throw the deep pass or bring the team back from behind, until he did both and led the Colts to a Wild Card berth against the Bills.

You anti AR people are so silly.  He is talented but has to learn. It will take a season. Youngest QB in league. He has a bad GM to work with.  

He works with the GM?

That is one game he had his moments last year but then he would play good 1 game and hkrible the next week so he is just as inconsistent as richardson.

Colts team & coaching staff all STINK,  already wearing my Colts Brown Paper Bag!!

Again, not saying they weren’t criticized, but the way some posters talked here you’d think Minshew kicked their dog. He was blamed for our losses even when it wasn’t solely on him. Heck, remember the vitriol he got for hitting a receiver in the hands and it was dropped?

That was a hard game to watch.   I flipped to other games throughout the game.

That would be his first mistake.  Work with the players and coaches.  

AR did look bad today.   Hopefully he can turn it around.    0-2 is gonna be rough for a mediocre team.
