Quick Thoughts - Week 3

[ChaosTheory]

I'll post a full list when I get home, but let's start the thread...

-Most holy shit game since Chiefs last year? Can't believe what I just watched. Awesome and fuuuun.

-Jonathan Taylor, you and your shit head agent fucked up.

-Give Matt Gay all of JTs money. Unbelievable.



More later.

[ChoppedWood]

Can't say enough about the never say die attitude that this team has vs mostly the same dudes the last couple years.

We got some breaks for sure but we also made some gutty ass plays out there today. Attitude can get you a lot of wins when the lines that divide the talent is as thin as it is in the NFL.

[CletusPyle]

Zach Moss was clutch today, and I just heard him being interviewed on the Colts network, so well spoken and a great teammate! He said the defense is elite have some real dogs, very tough group! I know we are highh after a win, but I think this team can win the division!

[Hoopsdoc]

I think we have a really good coach. The 4th down run call in overtime notwithstanding.

JT can go f**k himself. He can get on the train or get left behind.

Also, pay Michael Pittman. That dude is a f*****g warrior.

[nate505]

I'm hoping this JT stuff will resolve itself when he comes back. Maybe everyone can just hit the reset button.

Though I have little faith a bunch of men with massive egos can do that.

[Hoopsdoc]

Oh, and all those people bitching about Ballard signing the gay kicker can get bent. That dude is worth every penny.

[TheMugwump]

I know we are highh after a win, but I think this team can win the division!

Absolutely. Especially since Jacksonville, and Sister Goldenhair, seem(s) to have regressed.

[albany ed]

Before the season started, I thought Minshew should be the opening day QB. When they announced it would be Richardson I was cool with that, because either way they weren't a playoff team so Richardson may as well be the starter. I think Richardson is special, but some seasoning is needed. If from the beginning you thought you could be a playoff team, Minshew would have given you the best shot, with Richardson replacing him by week six. I like Minshew, he's the best veteran QB we've had since Luck quit. He's not a star, but he's not going to be the reason you lose. I cheered more today than the total combined times I cheered the entire last season. If they came up short today and lost in OT, I still would have said this was a fun game to watch. Winning it was just the icing on a beautiful cake.

[Dam8610]

Great things that happened today:

1) Your first place Indianapolis Colts went on the road and gutted out a hard fought win with their backup QB starting.

2) Trevor LawrBUST showed up and showed out against one of the worst teams in the league.

Bad things that happened today:

1) As I predicted, C.J. Stroud is a really good QB. Longest interceptionless streak to start a career.

[YDFL Commish]

Not self promoting are you?

No, I'd rather have been wrong about Stroud. Glad Lawrence is regressing, though.

A Colts fan? Yes, that is who I want to be. When the other teams in the AFC South look bad, I enjoy that. When it looks like they found good players, I don't enjoy that. Sorry you're more invested in Trevor Lawrence's success than the Colts' success. Seems like quite a few here are.

[Coltsalr]

Greetings from Baltimore where I was at the game.

Holy shit, that’s all I’ve got.

I was at the Colts/broncos game in Denver last year, but this one feels so much more satisfying.

This is the most satisfying win for me since the Kansas City game last year. Great great win.

[rm1369]

Minshew is a great backup QB. Tough, steady, understands and accepts his role. It would be damn near impossible not to like the guy.

As great as Minshew was the game highlighted the elements you miss with not having AR back there.

It was good to see Bradley break tendencies on some key downs and bring extra pressure. That’s good coaching and preferably to “we do what we do”. With the lack of experience in the secondary disruptive pressure is even more important.

Brents looks like he had a good first game. He looked quick in space and physical. Secondary needs it.

I’m happy with Moss as RB1. Obviously would prefer to pair him with JT, but Moss has shown why the team has taken the “prove it” stance they have. Tough, solid player. You can win with what he brings.

Ebukam was a good signing.

Gay was a great signing.

A couple decisions for Steichen that would have had guys calling for Reich’s head. Also obvious the team plays hard for him and he’ll coach to win. Very happy with the overall coaching so far.

[DragonTails]

What section were you in? There were a LOT of colts fans there. half our entire section were colts fans.

[Oldcolt]

This, to me anyway, this win is on what Steichen has brought to this team. Good coaches know how to win and seem to instill that in their team. We would have never won a game like this in the past few years.

On another note did Ballard finally hit on a cornerback? Brents looked pretty damn comfortable hitting folks today.

I want JT back but Moss shows exactly why you don’t give long term contracts to running backs.

The offensive line continues to surprise me, i had lost faith but am loving watching myself be completely wrong.

Shaq seems to be moving better each game. He has been through a hell of a lot and to keep making progress is a nice testament to the man.

For the first time in I can’t remember we are actually getting pressure on the QB. That is a prerequisite to being a real competitive team. Nice.

[Racehorse]

Oh, and all those people bitching about Ballard signing the gay kicker can get bent. That dude is worth every penny.

This season will prove that Ballard has built a team that could compete with reliable quarterback play.

[DragonTails]

Sorry you seem more invested in the success of Stroud than of Richardson and the Colts.

[Racehorse]

1. Any day the Colts win a game makes for a great day.
2. To see the Jags and Taints lose makes it even sweeter.
3. Watching Jimmy Johnson say our upset was not as remarkable as the Cards beating his former team is even more enjoyable.
4. First place feels good.

[Oldcolt]

Come on Dam, accusing people of being invested in the success of Lawrence is pure bullshit. There is no correlation between saying someone is good at what they do and having an emotional investment in his success.

And if Moss was available week 1, we'd be 3-0.

[ChaosTheory]

Ok, rest of my thoughts...


-I want to quickly point out how after BAL marched down the field for their first TD drive, they fumbled on four straight possessions. More importantly to me...
Jackson and Co. were laughing and joking on the sidelines until after the 3rd fumble. Then right before half, the cute backwards hat comes off and they decide to take the dogfight seriously.

Don't be like that, Richardson.

OFFENSE/ST:

-Zack Moss and the O-Line really grinded out an effective run game today. With your backup QB and another short-ranged pass gameplan, that was tough to do. 4ypc on 35 carries. Great TD catch by Moss, too.

-Pass pro wasn't great, but I have a feeling the film won't look as bad for the O-Line. Minshew was completely blind to Hamilton's blitzes, it wasn't Smith's job to take him. And some of the pressure felt like it was coverage-induced.

-Pittman was again better (and more clutch) than his numbers. That OT catch was one of the plays of the game in a field-position game. Pierce and Downs also solid contributions in a field-position game.

-Minshew is limited, but he's a good backup and teammate. Come on, AR!

-Matt Gay is showing to be a massive luxury. Shortening your field to the point where you only need to get inside the 38-yard line to get consistent points is huge.

-McKenzie did well on his punt returns... but catch the fucking ball at the 14 next time, goddamn it.


DEFENSE:

-What else to say about our front-7? Sacks, pressures, TFLs, and just keeping Jackson uncomfortable. Didn't start this year, they just need the offense not to have catastrophic mistakes.

-Julian Blackmon seemed like he was all over the place.

-Bradley schemed to keep Jackson as limited in the passing game as Minshew was... only Jackson is a $260m QB, not a backup.

-Baker healthy scratch felt along the lines of Deon Jackson getting cut. You don't perform, you're out with Steichen.

-Brents' physicality was a welcome sight. That's a big CB. Hopefully he helps get that secondary on par with the front-7 and this D will be scary.

[YDFL Commish]

I agree with that, only if Steichen would've not gone for it on 4th down and let Matt Gay get the points.

We now have a coach that learns from his mistakes. Where before we had one that repeated them over and over again.

I am so glad that we have gotten rid of the stench of Frank Reich that it makes me giddy.

Examples, Deion Jackson rushes for 14 yards on 13 carries and loses 2 fumbles. He's demoted 1 week and cut the next. Darrell Baker stinks it up for 2 straight games and Brents is the starter.

How long did Reich ride the train wreck of Matt Prior at both LT and RG before Jeff Saturday had to come in and say this ain't working?

The players see it when guys aren't doing their jobs and coaches let it slide and it affects the whole team negatively.

I watched a lot of their game last Monday. Different names, same game. I sort of laughed to myself when mid 1st half they called a TO. Young came to the sideline stood with Reich and Reich legitimately kept his head down in that damn sheet- the entire TO. Never once raised his head and looked at his rookie QB. The plays and the lack of execution, in particular the holding of the ball (the route trees must just be insanely complicated), looked identical. He has lost himself in the belief that his X's & O's are how you win, it's not, it's just not. It starts with the talent always, always with the talent, and that talent has to be used in ways that leverage their talents.

It is refreshing to see guys that just aren't talented enough to be on your roster, not just not starting, not even on your roster.

[DragonTails]

Yeah, we all see enough of that shit at our own jobs!

Tell Omaha and Racehorse that.

[Racehorse]

Tell Omaha and Racehorse that.

We already know that. We were responding in kind to your stupidity.

[apballin]

What a fuckin game…

Brents saved the game with that early forced fumble

Zaire brings the hammer every week

Hats off to the Oline, besides Hamilton and 1 Clowney rush they shut the Ravens out

Moss with a monster day

Pittman what a fuckin catch

That was playoff type intensity

Hats off to Steichen and Bradley as well

And Gay out performing Tucker is crazy

[Hoopsdoc]

I like Steichens energy. He really stalks that sideline.

I thought French had a good game under difficult circumstances.

Raimann is very steady at left tackle. It reminds me of having Castonzo out there. You don’t even think about it.

Another long return allowed on special teams. This one almost cost us the game. That’s gonna bite us in the ass at some point.

[Brylok]

I fell asleep on my couch in the first quarter. Didn't even see the game. I'm glad we won. Fuck all you youngsters who don't think it's coming for you. And good luck, you'll need it. Getting old is weird. I hope it doesn't last much longer.

It probably will...smh

[Indystu2]

I like Minshew, he's the best veteran QB we've had since Luck quit.

100% Agree.

[Mr. Session]

I am so pleased that they came away with this. I think they still have plenty of opportunity to improve offensively, but this is a game they have not won for years. It's good to see them actually take the W against another team that is trying their hardest to blow it. I do think Baltimore lost this more than Indy won it, but in my eyes this is the growth from the team that we have hoped to see. Especially against those fucking rat birds and their whiny ass fans.

- Franklin has taken over the LB group and I see/hear more from #45 than #53.

- Pittman's catch today was enormous. I hope he can keep this shit up, and I hope Pierce can start to find some consistency. Both of them had similar jump-ball opportunities and Pitt came down with a harder one IMO.

- Gotta love to see Brents come out and make an impact today.

- Fellas, these guys can rush the passer. We've been waiting years for that. Paye is 3 for 3.

- I'm so happy Blankenship is no longer on this team. This reminded me of the divisional game during the championship run. Resilience is the right word, coach.

- I was not happy with a rookie HC hire but this guy is looking okay right now. Again, his attitude is different than the other two guys. Time will tell.

- #52 is a busy dude. That kid gets a lot of work. That's looking like a good pickup right now.

- Kenny Moore is making a play every week.

- Moss is really putting the team in an advantageous position here. I don't know if this means Taylor's position is worse, because ultimately if 31 other teams are open to paying him - he's worth whatever they're willing to pay. But the team is in a good position here.

Steichen doesn't owe Taylor shit, Moss is making an argument he can be the guy, and in some sense Taylor has to actually prove he deserves to be on the field. The pressure is on Taylor, not us. Good problem for us.

- First in the AFC south. Awesome way to start the year. I want to stay grounded and not have inappropriate expectations, so I will sit back and enjoy the ride.

Curious what coach you would have liked to see the colts hire?

[albany ed]

I didn't see any post game presser by Reich, but I'm sure it would include "it starts with me, I take responsibility for this loss" --- :rolleyes:

[DragonTails]

Another long return allowed on special teams. This one almost cost us the game. That’s gonna bite us in the ass at some point.

It already did in the Jax game--it was the turning point.

[ukcolt]

I thought the O'line played well, especially with French making his first start and then Sills having 18 snaps next to him. Didn't notice any drop off at all. Which is good, the play with the starters was already fairly good beforehand, so not as if slotting one poor performance for another.

Most of the pressure was coming from the blitzing of Hamilton, who looks like a hell of a player in that system, he was a menace to the Colts yesterday.

[Ironshaft]

Yeah....good luck with that. My son is already saying that we are going to the Super Bowl! :)

Well fuck yea

Especially if Taylor decides to play

Let’s hope your son is prescient. If the lines and AR continue their development….

[Dam8610]

So you agree that me saying Stroud looks like a good QB has no correlation to me having emotional investment in his success? Just confirming.

[Brylok]

I admit it: I fell asleep on the couch while watching the game...again. I'm turning into one of you old farts. Worse even, y'all stayed awake. Smh.

[njcoltfan]

Well fuck yea

Especially if Taylor decides to play

Fuck Taylor, Moss looks very capable !!

[Colts And Orioles]

o


I just now realized that the Colts are alone in 1st place in the AFC South.

It's only 3 games, but still ...... I'll bet that not too many Colts fans would have believed that if you told them that it would be so prior to the start of the season, especially if you had added the fact that our starting quarterback missed most of the game against the Texans and the entire game against the Ravens.

o

[Spike]

Fuck Taylor, Moss looks very capable !!

I'm not sure we should say fuck Taylor yet.

Let's see how things play out, and maybe the Colts and Taylor can work something out. Moss and Taylor would make the Colts much more dangerous and help out AR immensely.

God forbid Moss getting hurt, then what do we have?

Not ready to drop the hammer on Taylor just yet.

[Colts And Orioles]

Great things that happened today:

1) Your first place Indianapolis Colts went on the road and gutted out a hard fought win with their backup QB starting.

2) Trevor LawrBUST showed up and showed out against one of the worst teams in the league.

More than a game. He's been pretty consistent through three weeks:

64%, 384, 2, 0

He wasn't as good as his stat line against us, but we saw what we're going to have to deal with for the forseeable future. I said after the JAX game that they aren't scary. Both IND and HOU can potentially surpass them a lot sooner than many people think.

I wanted Stroud over Richardson in the 2023 draft. I think that there will be a very good chance that Stroud winds up being a very good, or even great NFL QB.

One game, or even 3 games is still too small of a sample-size to tell whether or not that fate will come to fruition.

Most of the pressure was coming from the blitzing of Hamilton, who looks like a hell of a player in that system, he was a menace to the Colts yesterday.

I don’t know anything about Hamilton but he got 3 sacks on literally the exact same play. Unblocked every time. It was bizarre. Almost like he was wearing something that made him invisible to Minshew.

That was more of a failure on the Colts part than great plays by Hamilton.

[ukcolt]

I agree to some extent, but Hamilton did time up his blitz very well. It is easy to see this from the commentary booth when you are not trying to look at the snap of the ball and all 10 of the other players. Should Minshew have done a better job, yeah, could we have provided some help from the RB, yes again. But you could see throughout the game that Will Fries was making the line calls and not Wesley French, so once he came out and Sills took his place, that probably mixed things up even further. Although i am giving this as a potential reason for this happening, from memory I suspect that the sacks may have happened prior to Fries coming out of the game with cramp issues, so shooting down my own argument!

Couple of things... On the Ravens' last TD drive (end of 3rd), after a TFL it's 2nd-and-12 and Moore was sent on a Nickel blitz. Agholor was left alone and Jackson just planted his leg and threw immediately. 11 yards easy. We need our QB/WR's to ID that pre-snap.

As for us... it's funny, this is like 5 (maybe 6) sacks that the OL are not responsible for this season. First drive, is some combination of play-call + QB + WR not accounting for the free rusher. He clearly shows he's coming, and QB/WR don't even look at each other.

Second drive is similar, but now it looks like Moss is supposed to pick him up and completely whiffs. Even still, Minshew and Downs don't even look at each other for a wide open completion.

And at the absolute very least, Minshew needs to launch the ball out of bounds.

[Chromeburn]

You get those from PFF?

I saw them on Twitter I think. It was for this season so far. It wasn’t pretty. But he’s a rookie so who knows. Pressure is definitely the best way to disrupt him though.

With all the injuries on the O line, I believe Nelson has the line calls. There wasnt anything Smith could do, he was head up on the LE. On the second sack, Minshew never looked to his right before the snap.

Put a TE out there, at least that blitzer wont have straight shot at the qb

[Coltsalr]

What section were you in? There were a LOT of colts fans there. half our entire section were colts fans.

Section 536. A few Colts fans but definitely not half, lol.

Where were you?

They were overload blitzes. Bringing more defenders than there are blockers. At that point Minshew just has to recognize the hot route.

[Chromeburn]

Come on Dam, accusing people of being invested in the success of Lawrence is pure bullshit. There is no correlation between saying someone is good at what they do and having an emotional investment in his success.

Frankly, I will laugh manically if Lawrence turns out to be a bust. They already screwed up drafting Walker over Hutchingson, thank God, but if Lawrence turns out to be mediocre it will just be another jags being jags moment.

Helluva catch

Does anyone lose his lid more than him? It seems he wears a huge helmet or maybe he has a small head.

No matter, he’s a tuff sumbitch

Three games into their rookie seasons, Skip (Clueless) Bayless got on National TV and said the Colts made a HUGE MISTAKE drafting Andrew Luck instead of RGIII. At the time I thought "what a NinCOWpoop this asshole is.

YOU CANNOT LOOK AT A PLAYER'S FIRST 3 GAMES AND PRONOUNCE HIM A FUTURE HOFer.

It's a 3 game sample, but he's shown more in those 3 games than Lawrence has in 3 years.


Three games into their rookie seasons, Skip (Clueless) Bayless got on National TV and said the Colts made a HUGE MISTAKE drafting Andrew Luck instead of RGIII. At the time I thought "what a NinCOWpoop this asshole is.

YOU CANNOT LOOK AT A PLAYER'S FIRST 3 GAMES AND PRONOUNCE HIM A FUTURE HOFer.

Good QB =/= Future HOFer. Kirk Cousins is a good QB, he's not likely a future HOFer, for example.

Stroud is looking pretty good, if the Texans finish below the Colts (very likely) they will get Harrison Jr. and that combo should concern us all!

They traded their #1 this year to Arizona for last years 3rd pick. That’s how Houston got Anderson and Stroud. Will be an interesting draft this year as both Arizona and Chicago could have 2 top 5 (top 10 at least) picks.

I wonder whether either of those teams might dip back into the QB pool...

Would the bears give up on Justin Fields so fast? I guess how his season plays out this year will determine that.

Kyler Murray is only 2 seasons removed from being considered the next big thing but he wasn't great last year and now some writers (idiots, some may call them) are suggesting there could be a QB controversy in Arizona with Dobbs.

But my thinking is that it seems that a fair number of teams that will finish with bad seasons might not be looking for QBs this time around and that means other positions will be taken off the board sooner.

But there's more than one Round-1 quality receiver in the 2024 draft

Yep, I forgot about that....they do have Cleveland's first round pick in 2024, but I doubt that is going to be that early in the draft!

Chicago will absolutely give up on Fields. They should have after last year. He was historically bad then and he’s no better now.

Plus, ownership is going to clean house after they win one game this year and the next regime is going to start over.

Enough about Stroud. He sucks because he is Houston’s piece of shit QB. Sing his praises somewhere else.

well said, old

Question is will Caleb Williams want to go to a franchise that is historically bad when it comes to offense and developing QBs.

I think Fields is salvageable. You can change your OC and coach all the time and expect a guy to develop. I would stash him as a backup and try to develop him..
