Colts 2017.... Same old song and dance....

[churchmouse]

Brisset got wonky under pressure. Could not hit anything and that run was so sissy. He could have made that but headed straight for safety out of bounds.
Harry.....you are spot on.

 

[steve0322]

They might as well play Brissett for the rest of the year and get a better draft position. There's really no point in throwing Luck out there to get hurt again.

 

[churchmouse]

Luck need to find a better team or his career will be very short.

 

[chipbennett]

That's the thing: Luck would have this team at 4-2 (or better). If he returns in the next couple of weeks, the Colts have a legitimate chance of winning their division.

I don't agree with sitting him out when he's game-ready, but the time with him off the field has (or at least, should have) fully unmasked the incompetence of Pagano. But, Irsay's gonna Irsay.

I've actually watched as much Colts football this season as I can, my wife is a huge fan and I am finally getting on board. It's like they play great until the 4th quarter than they're deer in headlights. I agree Luck could still save the season, we're going to the stadium for the vs steelers game next month for my wifes Bday, here's hoping they're on a spree! Lol

In Jacoby's defense....
He's done as well as can be expected considering that his play is excellent... Considering he had NO training camp and zero familiarity with this system.(what ever the hell the system is).
He's very accurate, doesn't shy away from his position, and is basically having to play sand lot football against Professional coaching.
The players OVERALL have done a good job until half time. Then the COACHING sucks. Other team's coaches are able to make the adjustments. Colt's coaching just can't keep up.
I lobbied hard to get Hamilton replaced via social media. Chudzinski doesn't seem to be a competent choice as his replacement.
I actually like what I'm seeing out of the players we've got. Defense is basically new but shows some promise. There's still holes that need plugged on the wings. Coaches haven't addressed the same issue that's 4 years old.
Pass rush? What's that?
Offensive line IS getting better. Philbin was a good hire. Injuries once again are depleting line depth.
Running backs are excellent BUT play calling is predictable and again half time adjustments are non existent at best. Ridiculous at worst.
Doyle had a rough nite but overall I like his play. Smart, few penalties, blocks excellent and has great hands. (usually) Maybe his concussion hasn't healed all the way.
Wide receivers are pretty darned good. They got mugged last night which is common in the NFL.
I see coaching as the weak link to this team.
One thing for sure.... More time together won't hurt this team.
At this point Luck still knows the system better. By the end of the season Jacoby will be able to hold his own in the QB position.

I say dump the coach now. This season is a bust. If you wait till next season to get a new coach and new system, then next season will basically be a waste as well. Give the team the rest of this season to get familiar with whatever system the new coach wants to run and you’ll be way ahead of the curve come next season.

I wish they would have done it before losing to the Browns and 49ers. Now we will get, at best, 3rd pick. That is what I'm more frustrated about. If we aren't going to be contenders (which we knew that after week 1), just tank for number 1. Then trade that for a bucket of picks where we need picks. We don't need a QB, but we do need linemen. There are tons of them in the 2nd and 3rd round. A number 1 pick can easily be traded for 5 or 6 picks. But now we will have the number 3 (at best) and that will give us, at best, a couple of picks. Blah.

This is very true.

Setback for Luck

Setback for Luck

Andrew Luck of Indianapolis Colts shut down due to soreness in shoulder

WTH A. Luck?! You're killing us... but to be fair, the Colts were killing you.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

WTH A. Luck?! You're killing us... but to be fair, the Colts were killing you.

Shut him down. Save him for next year.

Yes they were. He needs to seek a better team while he is (if he still is ) viable.

 

[thunderchicken]

Yes they were. He needs to seek a better team while he is (if he still is ) viable.

This is probably where the Colts need to be evaluating his contract and thinking hard to decide if he should stay or cut him loose & let him go. I'm thinking if he is having this much trouble under very controlled practices, this injury could follow him the rest of his career.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

I’m gonna go out on a limb here. We’re gonna have a lead going into the 4th quarter and then...wait for it....we’re gonna make Blake Bortles look like Joe Montana and blow it.

 

[halfmileharry]

The announcer just nailed the Colts problems.
"It's that kind of undisciplined play that has the Colts at 2-4 instead of 4-2"

Dang, Bortles is already looking like Joe and it's only the 1st.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Down 14 only halfway through the 1st... does this mean they'll have a good 4th??

Naw, it just means the Colts aren't the best team in College football.
