Colts 2023 A Time To Change

[ChristianPatriot]

It’s a nightmare for Jacksonville right now.

What an insanely disappointing season for the Jags. Total collapse to end the season.

 

[tbhausen]

Of course, you can’t say that the rest of the season would have gone the same way, because events are related, but as it stands right now, the referees screwed us out of an AFC South championship.

 

[tbhausen]

Still, we had it right there at our feet and didn’t get it done. I know one thing from being there last night, the home crowd couldn’t have done any more. I’m already looking forward to following AR’s rehab and other team developments over the off season and opening kickoff next season, though.

 

[ChristianPatriot]

I’m really gonna enjoy watching the Browns curb stomp the Texans into oblivion.

 

[tbhausen]

And even though we got screwed against them, I hope the Browns kick the Texans asses up between their shoulder blades.

Do you think someone will grab Minshew?

Do you think someone will grab Minshew?

I was thinking about this this morning.

Minshew had a bad game on prime time. Is that kind’ve a blessing in disguise for us?

He showed that he’s a backup quarterback. A really good backup, but definitely a backup.

This season especially has shown how valuable backups are.

There’s no way a team would consider Minshew for their starter, right? He’s just not that dude. He’s not going to elevate the players around him into something special.

Colts should prioritize bringing him back.

As a starting QB, Minshew makes a solid backup. Last I checked he's in the middle of the pack in QBR. He's only had to start because of Richardson's injury. If Richardson can stay healthy and play well, Minshew is just fine as a backup. He only had a 1 year deal with the Colts. I think his performance as a starter probably ups his stock as a backup. He kept the Colts in playoff contention up to the last game. I wouldn't mind if they kept him.

 

[tbhausen]

Until AR proves that he can stay healthy, of course they should keep him.

Steichen is a savage.

Was that after that last 4th down play?

I've heard some commentators say it's just as much on Goodson. I don't see it.

I watched the video several times, paused at various points on the play. Doesn't look to me like Minshew led him enough. Maybe Goodson didn't run a precise route. Maybe he was supposed to be where Minshew threw it. I doubt it.

But as it was I don't see how Goodson could have done any more than touch the ball with his fingertips. If it made it into his palms, yeah, he has to catch that.

But, if Minshew led him just a bit more that's a 1st down. So yeah, I think that was on him.

Not on the 4th down play. And actually I think I heard someone say they were spliced together from different plays.

Maybe I’ll come up to the Oil Can next season for the Steelers game. Maybe even get a chance to meet some of you.

Until then, less than 140 days to Race Day!

I’ll be there… at both

The Raiders win over the Broncos moved them up to second in the division since I made my post, so the Colts are now getting the Broncos.

Gus Bradley needs to go. I have been over his soft scheme for a long time.

Could just be coach speak

 

[ChristianPatriot]

I still think they’ll resign Pitt

 

[ChristianPatriot]

The Colts had one of the toughest defensive schedules and finished as a fringe top-10 offense without QB1or RB1 for most of the season, and limited weapons outside of Pittman.

The future is bright with Steichen.
