Let’s Go D!!! Turnover please! 

Not with a conservative Gus Bradley running the show.

 

Too easy, just what the doctor ordered for the Jaguars and TLaw

[JColts72]

2 easy

[a06cc]

That might be game. We’ll see how the Offense responds 

Why I keep saying we need a LB 

[Captain_Colts1317]

You can blame injuries all you want but this defense was horrible when fully healthy. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That will do it. We don’t have the bodies to in the fine to create any pressure. Again not surprising 

[IndySouthsider]

I hate Gus Bradley. I literally cannot stand the guy. He needs run out of Indy on a rail

[IrsaysArmy]

Haha. Wide open. For such an easy scheme we sure have a lot of miscommunication.

We need a new DC

[SR711]

Trevor Lawrence would be All pro who lives up to every ounce of his pre draft hype if he played against Ballard’s secondary and Gus’s scheme every week.

[IinD]

[JediXMan]

Sorry DBs.

[Rolltide_gocolts]

I can’t believe my whole weekend has been full of defense completely selling the game!!!!

Would you expect anything else from a Gus Bradley defense?

Trying to hold out faith 🤣

[Solid84]

Secondary can't cover, let's face it...

 

This got discussed ad nauseum doing the offseason, but got overlooked early because of the run defense. Now we have a run defense, the terrible coverage in the secondary rears it's ugly head...

[a06cc]

The secondary is all on Ballard. 

[colts89]

That might have been the most embarrassing series for the defense since the Packers game.

 

The bright side with the Colts playing in Duval is that we make them believe they have something lol.

Yep it was going to rear it's ugly head it's worse with no Kenny Moore out there.

Not this many to stars. So you guys realize it’s not just our scrubs that are injured. Our most important players are out. It finally caught up with us this game.

 

You use the words stars loosely. Maybe a couple. I say again Ballard has built a meh type team full of JAG type players that have accomplished little in EIGHT yrs!! Nobody believes in this team outside of Indy.

 

The winless Jags and Trevor have been looking horrible offensively against everybody good or bad and yet the Colts were UNDERDOGS coming in. No coincidence some analysts said the Colts would be the remedy for Trevor because he always looks good against that defense. Oh the injuries.. lol

[Patrick Miller]

Imagine how good this colts team could be if we had a defense!

[Zoltan]

Just wow, that last drive by the Jags was ridiculous. How do you give up a deep pass on 2nd and 24. As a defense you can't let that happen, and then that uncovered TD to end that drive....

[GoColts8818]

Gus Bradley has to be fired.  I know players are blowing assignments but he’s the one who keeps putting them in that position.

[ColtsGermany]

I mean... we are really depleted all over the D....ok. but that doesn't excuse everything. 

[Sporto4323]

Our defense looking completely confused on both a 2nd & 24 and a TD pass. 
 

For those of you that defend Gus Bradley, who do you think is responsible for a defense that comes unprepared just about every week? Defensive backs that have had all week to prepare, yet are completely lost when they step on the field on who to cover and what zones to cover? 
 

Please explain to me who you think is responsible for that and not a defensive coordinator that can’t prepare a defense properly?

Not a Gus fan, however, I have long said it is more of a talent issue. These db's are terrible. Ballard once again went into the season and was as usual being a salesman.

If you think the pass to AD was behind him you lose all credibility.  It was clearly in front of him.

You don't hav4e alligator arms on throws behind you.

You are right, the Alligator arms pass I was referring to was him running left, hand his hand out, and pulled it back before contact.  Both Downs and Pittman were running  right, and the pass was behind them.

I said after the opening day Houston game that the only reason the pass D wasn’t more exposed was because the run D was so awful, it didn’t get its chance.  Fact still remained that whenever a big stop was needed on pass D, they failed miserably then and next week against Malik Willis (who will never be mistaken for a starting QB)

[boogmanningluck]

Can't continue with Gus Sadly as d coordinater

When your whole defense is built on not giving up the deep pass too…

[chickenMan]

How much more of this do we have to see before Bradley is fired?!

[AKB]

everyone knows ballard messed up the corner situation

[richard pallo]

Apparently we need a lot of new coaches.

The offense can’t score either.  We need a lot of new players too.

[OffensivelyPC]

Gus Bradley has got to go. I feel as tho whenever you need to rely on the D, that’s the moment they crumble. It’s systemic at this point.

slightly less than what it's gonna take for ballard to get fired 

[Happy2BeHere]

Pittman!

[NFLfan]

Who wanted to trade for CB Fabian Moreau? He has been inactive all year. @holeymoley99
