Last 9 plays -13 Yards

 

[richard pallo]

Defense can’t hold up forever.

[coming on strong]

we cant win with a QB 2/12 passing in the first half this is embarrassing

[Nesjan3]

AR is 2/13 lol wth is going on he seems to be getting worse every game

[krunk]

Steich needs to dial up some easy completions for AR. Too many bombs.

This is not  on AR

 If he had any touch on passes, Steichen might call shorter routes

Please put Flacco in. He gives us the best chance to win.

Respectfully, NO. AR is the future, or perhaps not, but he needs the reps for us to know. I’m beyond done with retreads. This team needs a vision and direction for the future. I couldn’t care less what our win/loss record looks like at the end of the year. I care about seeing what we have at QB. Be patient. 

[Scott Pennock]

Our defense is playing good

 

AR5 sucks…..

 

Our defense will buckle in the end because of AR5’s * poor performance because they will be tired

[coltsva]

It's very disheartening to see all the TE's lighting it up, and we have a bunch of nobodies at the postion. 

[compuls1v3]

Nice tackle by Moore.

AR isn’t there yet to make the best decisions yet even if his wideouts get open 

Huh? He is making very good reads that's why i have faith in him. Just not connecting. Like I said. This experiment is going to be ugly at times. He doesn't look lost out there and we can hopefully build on that.

[richard pallo]

Too bad AR can’t do that.

Yeah I am not sure why that position has become a bust for this team.

[coltsfan_canada]

Why is it that when D plays well O sucks when O plays decent  or better D sucks why cant we have for once both good 

[Dewey5]

I would challenge that

[Nesjan3]

AR is cooked man, taking such a raw prospect with such little experience was a huge gamble and its really starting to look like it will be the end of this regime

[krunk]

Also need to mix more Taylor and AR run plays with to increase TOP.

I dunno.  Maybe it should be.

[azcolt]

Stroud isn’t lighting it up but he can put touch on the short passes that serve as running plays, something AR can’t seem to do.

Amazing he’s not looking capable but he’s still in the game.

[EasyE]

Dear, Shane 

Mix it up yes!!

But JT is back run the damn ball!!

lmao 

[ADnum1]

Nice pinpoint sideline pass by Stroud.

 

He's just better than AR

On the Pierce long ball, he didn’t make the right read and lead him.

 

On the Pittman play, he did. He’s too boom and bust right now, so need to coddle him with the help of the run a bit more, IMO

 

 

[JMichael557]

AR haters need to shut up. This is on the play caller not him. 

[AKB]

we should be running a much more controlled short game rather than all these deep balls

right, AR has thrown maybe 2 bad balls so far.  Everything else has been heavily defended or just receivers not catching it

Toy can’t chug it deep every first down 

[krunk]

Shane needs to reel AR in some.

I bet people were saying that bout Josh Allan and he is arguably the best qb in the league. U maybe correct in saying he is cooked. However, he needs at least a full season before we can evaluate him.

The te’s do make catches when the colts have a nfl qb playing.

Its inter dependent. Because AR is still learning, help him with more runs to get manageable 3rd downs 

[AKB]

he's inaccurate, AND the playcalling isn't helping

[#12.]

The Richardson offense is the most painful to watch Colts offense ever.  At least there was some comedy with Painter.

 

Every Richardson game is like this.  Every 3rd down is a failure.  No consistent offense whatsoever.

I think Shane is tsking what they are giving. The big plays r there. Just not connecting.

The dude is 2/13.

He misses too many.

 

Shane can call some easier plays but AR has been awful.

Even under Flacco, they didn't do much.

Not haters, just people with 20-20 vision. If he could throw an accurate ball with touch Steichen would call something besides long throws.

[richard pallo]

I think Shane’s calling the deep balls because he knows AR can’t hit the shorter throws.

[SR711]

Not to defend Steichen’s play calling, but you have to wonder how much of the play calling, choices on where to go with the ball  is a result of the staff’s (and perhaps AR’s) apprehension with his inaccuracy with the short and intermediate throws that are the base of any effective offense.  
 

I mean the throw on 2nd down was one of the few intermediate routes the ball has gone to out of last several throws and it wasn’t even close even though Downs was open.

But Pittman not Pierce can’t win quickly. Maybe need to scheme up more boots & deep crossers for Pierce if that’s the 3 wr we’re gonna keep sending out there.  Move the pocket. 

[BlackTiger]

The line looks so much better with Buckner in there
