I wonder how long it will take the colts to accept that?

The network crew in the studio thinks Flacco should go in.

[John Waylon]

Still lots of slipping on this turf. 
 

[IndySouthsider]

Ha ha Jimmy would do this nonsense with AR.

 

In pro sports always go with the best players. 

[chad72]

Can’t play worse half of offensive football than that. Thankfully, Miami offensively is terrible too.

[IndyEV]

Im almost all out for the Colts this year and all in on my Hoosiers!!!  College gameday supposed to be in Btown next week! Im pumped for that!

If Flacco goes in, I'm out on this season. I can't stand more QB carousel nonsense in the name of staying average...

[GoColts8818]

Jimmy Johnson hit the nail on the head, Richardson is not a drop back passer right now.  The Colts keep trying to make him something he isn’t.  Let Richardson be Richardson.  That’s what he was doing vs the Steelers and it’s the only time he’s looked good.  Yes I know he’s going to expose himself to injury but you can’t fear that.  You have to teach him to get down like he did on his first scramble.  That’s why I keep saying the guy Richardson should be is Lamar Jackson.  It took him a while to learn to protect himself too but that’s worked out okay for the Ravens.

[BlackTiger]

This is making me want to turn on the playstation, mute the game and put it on a secondary tv.  We could be in for a lot of boring sundays "developing" Anthony

I get it, I hate watching the Colts implode and it's happened too often for far too long.

 

AR's play is an issue, don't get me wrong, but I think there are bigger issues with the Colts than our rookie QB playing bad:

• Steichen is not it. There, I said it. Steichen is not it. I thought we'd get a creative playcaller with him, but it's basically just Reich who takes a few more shots down-field and goes for it on more 4th downs. That's it.
• Our DC is inept. How Bradley can keep being a DC ANYWHERE is a mystery.
• Ballard can't build a team. Period.

I think I’m with on this!!

You act like the alternative with AR also won’t lead to more of a carousel

[Happy2BeHere]

Want to be positive…but AR just has yet to really put together 1 entire game where you could say “I see the potential”…you see it after one quarter sometimes…but never a full game. Thus far after a full game there are just more smh moments than anything else about him.

The Colts have been terrible at game-planning for AR.

[AKB]

im not ready to give up on steichen yet. i;d be alright with Bradley (even though I think some of it is overblown) and ballard getting the ax though

[rockywoj]

In depth, detailed first half analysis:

 

Game planning and Offense has been crud, last 20 seconds excepted, and the defense has, typically, been mediocre to bad.
 

There’s a whole lot of redeeming that needs to come in the second half, to continue on a path to save the season.  I don’t have a good feeling about this.

But what does Jimmy Johnson know about coaching compared to future Hall of Famer Steichen?😎

The Colts need a franchise QB. Period.

 

That's not Flacco. It may not be AR, but we don't know that yet. If AR busts, draft a new guy and try again. Late-30 to 40 year old QBs are not the answer.

I agree they need a franchise QB. I never said it was Flacco but you act like we’re doomed if Flacco starts but we have a very high probability with AR of being in the same boat. We’ve got a lot of talent on this team that we are wasting by not being aggressive enough in finding our new QB either in the draft or via free agency.

[TheEdgeis1]

We have to keep playing AR.  If he has a good second half, it should help with growing his confidence.  He’s still very young

It should be eye opening to colt fans when his play calling is causing Huntley out playing  the #4 overall selection PLUS a team that isn't going anywhere is completely out playing them. Fortunately, the Refs have kept this game close.

I want to say it can’t get any worse but I’m afraid to be proven wrong.

It’s been since Jeff George that the Colts had franchise QB not work out.  A lot of Colts fans have never seen it and don’t know how to handle it.  I am not saying Richardson won’t work but at this point we’ve established he’s not Manning or Luck who showed you they were going to be the answer from the word go.  I mean both guys first passes, all be it pre-season games, were touchdowns.
 

I will say the Colts coaches aren’t doing Richardson any favors by trying to make him something he’s not but you have to find out if he’s the guy or not.  If he’s not Ballard and Shane are going to get fired anyways so you might as well find out.  Flacco is a slightly better version of Minshew and we saw what happened when teams figured out how to attack Minshew last year and we saw the Titans starting to expose Flacco’s short comings last week.  It would be one thing if I thought Flacco could win you a Super Bowl but the best case scenario with Flacco is getting into the playoffs and probably getting waxed and then moving on at season’s end and you are back to is Richardson the guys or not?

but Lamar was a more elusive and dangerous runner than AR is. cam Newton had a future Hall of Famer Steve Smith to catch passes in his rookie year. That is who AR compares to, that is why the passing has to be a part of AR growth.

 

The similarity stops at running quarterback, but Lamar had greater potential to avoid Contact than AR does. Still, Lamar could not sustain it at the NFL level.

 

Lamar also had far more starting experience coming out of college. It is almost like we are establishing one year of college starting experience in the NFL for AR. He is not going to show his full potential till year three or four. we resign ourselves to it and settle for not winning as many games

Yeah, let’s put Flacco in so we can finish 8-9 and jump back on the QB carousel with Ballard again. 
 

Or….lets put Flacco in to have a shot to get into the playoffs and make some noise.

In the AFC this year? Yes we do have a chance with a competent QB.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

I'm liking McDaniel's watch.

Colts laying a stinker with legends in the building smh.

[ChuggaBeer]

I see 4 teams down at the half that will still win.
