That is what I thought about earlier ..   put richardson in on early downs and then go with flacco .   let richardson run and throw deep and put flacco in on the money downs

Your offense will have no rythm that is a terrible idea

We only scored 2 TD today. How does that make Flacco this great QB? Flacco threw 3 interceptions today but 2 penalties saved him. 

The interceptions, at least in one and likely two were caused by the penalties.

maybe you are right but it would be nice to take advantage of both of their strengths

Regardless of what happens with Richardson I’m so glad we didn’t draft the great value carson wentz.

That's probably because he wants the Colts to be in the best position to win each game they possibly can, and you want AR to develop as quickly as he can.  Those likely are conflicting goals given that Flacco's QBR in 3 games is 71 and ARs is 50.

Yeah that’s pretty obvious. I just think wanting to play Flacco is pretty short sighted considering the quality of the rest of the team. We’re not contending for anything with Flacco OR AR at QB. 
 

Even with Flacco the offense is clearly still misfiring and the defense is a bit of a joke to be honest. I mean, credit where credit is due, they tightened up near the end of the game, but if we weren’t facing one of the worst offenses in the league this would’ve been another loss.

The threat of the big play with AR and his legs would of opened up the run game.

Not without Taylor. It's easier to manage and deal with AR without the other piece. The big play was already there. Joe just over threw them when he went for it. He should have had more than 200 yards. I think against that unit AR probably has a few picks on overthrown passes. Or he forced a few things when they do a good job stopping the backup runners. And I still have not seen enough yet in terms of his ability to lead long drives. A little evidence here and there. Joe had to do a few multi play drives today

I don’t think the offense has a chance of firing until JT is back in the lineup.  Our backup running backs don’t require game planning for.  That’s just the way it is.  I think the defense will improve with more time.  Ballard might make an acquisition too.  Got to take them one at a time.

This makes zero sense

Yes it would have. They would have had to respect his arm. This offense was way to dink and dunk. Then when you have to respect his arm it opens the run game.

I don't remember 2 ints negated by penalties . Can you elaborate ?

He threw a int in the red zone. But there was a penalty

Look I understand where you’re coming from….you’re wanting to give AR reps in hopes that he might turn out to be the guy next year….or the year after ….because the rest of the team is horrible. At least the defense is. I wonder though, if given a Choice…. what the rest of the team would prefer? Flacco or AR? I think the players on the team want to win now and I wouldn’t be surprised if they picked Flacco. Personally, I can’t stand the thought of throwing a season away…. Maybe that is shortsighted but I think we have a legit shot with a Flacco/Taylor led offense this year. Let Richardson sit and take notes this year.

You don't say?  Did Moore play?

 

Just wondering if the pattern holds...that our best player in the DB group is yet another guy that Ballard didn't draft.  Not that he drafted Moore either.

Does it really matter that Ballard didn’t draft Kenny Moore?    Does it really matter that Ballard didn’t draft Womack?   He acquired both of them didn’t he?  Isn’t that good?     
 

Ballard didn’t draft Stephon Gilmore or Rodney McCoud, or Pierre Desire among others.  But they all helped the Colts win.

I wish I knew exactly what was wrong with Pittman’s back. Why are they keeping it so secretive?

Sounds like he is going to keep trying to play as long as colts have something to play for. If colts were open about what was going on they could end the ridiculousness.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I won’t be surprised if Taylor sits one more week. Get him as healthy as possible for Texans.

The Colts win a division game on the road with the backup quarterback and no JT.

There's nothing wrong with Flaccos arm. Every bomb he threw today was overthrown. He's got plenty of arm strength.

I have no problem with them keeping it to themselves.  It’s a health matter between player, doctors and the team.  They will do what’s best. Fans don’t affect the outcome.

It sounds like surgery is an option. If he elects for the surgery, he’ll have to sit out 4-8 until his back heals. 
 

but, if he waits - he can have the surgery in the offseason

If you don’t think the threat of AR using his legs doesn’t help the running back then your not really watching.

Pittman made 2 clutch catches today. I for one am glad he was able to play

That is only going to help so much. It's not like AR has been lighting the scoreboard up even with Taylor. Not having Taylor will matter.

Taylor is the one key needed to get into the playoffs. He is just as important as whichever QB is used.

How much of Taylor success early has been because of the AR run threat. It makes people have to worry about two instead of one.

This just isn’t fun anymore. Barely beating cruddy teams, and sucking while doing it isn’t * fun anymore. I’m glad the NBA season is starting next week and we have a better team to cheer over there.

I think the players are 110% behind AR or they would’ve asked to be traded. 
 

I even think I recall Ballard alluded to having that conversation with Buckner after the ‘22 season. 
 

I think this is way more about fans being tired of losing than some made up sympathy for players on the team. I get being tired of losing, I’m SO over it myself, but we’re not a contender no matter who we put at QB. Noone outside fans wearing VERY blue tinted glasses believe that. 
 

I’d rather we try and build a consistent contender instead of taking another wild shot at getting the 7th seed. I don’t see the point in that. It’s what the Colts have been doing for 8 years and I hate it.

We’re going to play AR and get into the playoffs.  That would be awesome.

Yes and I go one step further and say Goodson should be his backup. Sermon has somehow turned one good game vs the Steelers last year into the number two back for the Colts despite every other game he’s played shows that Steelers game was fluke.  
 

Still the Colts need Taylor.  He’s the key to the whole offense.  Id like to see the Colts get a little more creative with how they use him, especially with what is in all likely hood going to be two rookies at center and right guard when he gets back.  Get him on the edge behind the tackles and maybe pull Nelson for him too.

Pittman showed us he’s a warrior today.  Anyone whoever wants to call him soft all they need to do is look at what he did today.  In crunch time he put this team on his already broken back.  That’s what a number one WR does.

Pretty much he’s saying he’s going to play until he can’t take the pain anymore and then he’s probably done for the season.  Back surgery is tricky for everyday people let alone football players.

I'd like to see Steichen rotate Richardson in for a few series the next few games. It could be a nightmare for defenses to have to prepare and stop both of them.

When Richardson can play he’s the starter.  Despite what some fans want the Colts have been clear Richardson is the starter.  They are trying to develop him and they know he needs to play now so they can find out if he’s the guy or not.  Flacco is a band aide who, just like Minshew last year is going to expose his limitations the more he plays and the more teams figure out what works vs him.  Flacco has done a great job and done exactly what he was brought here to do but he is no threat to Richardson’s starting job.

Fries was so good in run blocking. I am sure his loss doesn’t help either.

Sermon is just so bad. Goodson has more burst and should of had more Carries.
