To be fair, Wentz didn’t take a snap in practice, this week; and the after effects of Covid had to be a factor.
|
IMHO the Colts are not an elite team. They have a so-so QB and a defense that can’t close out games, and they can’t rush the passer.

Bengals win the AFC North with last second field goal to beat the Chiefs. Wow

So I guess if there's a bright side, the Colts, as far as I can tell, still control their own destiny for the playoffs if they just beat the Jags next week. The Ravens losing was huge.
If Pittsburgh and the Chargers win today, that'll make the Chargers 9-7 and the Steelers 8-7-1. So if that result happens, here is what the records would look like Chiefs 11-5 Titans 11-5 Bengals 10-6 Bills 10-6 WC Pats 10-6 Raiders 9-7 Chargers 9-7 Colts 9-7 Steelers 8-7-1 So Assuming the Pats win their last game, there's one WC down. The Raiders and Chargers play each other, so one will lose (or they'll both tie, which is also fine because the Colts will have more wins than both at that point), but that will knock one to 8 losses while the other will get a WC spot. Then if the Colts win, they'll be at 7 losses. So yeah, the Rams really did the Colts a big favor today. The Colts still control their own destiny. Unless I'm missing something. |
So far the only thing Wentz is consistent at is, being inconsistent. I liked the trade in the beginning. He had potential and was above average with Reich in Philly. With all the missed training camp and starting out with two sprained ankles I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I was wrong. He is what they say he is, mediocre. His throws are high, or off. He rarely hits a receiver in stride. They constantly have to adjust to his throws and a lot of time that cost us yac. He is a backup for anyone else.

The other thing that is so agonizing to watch, he rarely throws an on-time pass. You just don't see successful QB's who hold the ball refusing to throw it to when and where it is supposed to go. Yeah, our WR corps is terrible, however these guys practice, they are on the field because the coaches have said they know the plays, so at some point your job is to do what you are doing in practice, which he simply struggles to do. To me, the only thing that works with him is to go almost exclusively up-tempo and out of pocket. When he is asked to just be an athlete and make things happen, he generally succeeds. IMO Frank wants him to be this conventional pocket QB that dissects the D and throws these dimes in these complex route schemes- he isn't that guy. |
We are now likely to get the the 7th seed, and go on the road to play the Chiefs. That’s not the scenario I was hoping for.
|
I don't think the Colts can be elite with Wentz. He has skills, but lacks poise. And, poise is an important quality for the QB position. When it's crunch time, some QBs step up and actually become better. But not Wentz. He gets perplexed and indecisive. I don't think any kind of coaching will change that. If it wasn't for Taylor, the Colts would have 3 maybe four wins all year.

The Jets literally took the Buccaneers down to the final seconds of the game today before losing. They also beat the Bengals and the Titans (with Derrick Henry) earlier this season ...... if they find a way to beat the Bills and the Colts beat the Jaguars, the Colts would own the tie-breaker between the two of them. o |

I’m sorry maybe I missed something but what was avoidable? Not trading for Wentz? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If the Chargers beat Denver, Colts go to 6th seed and open the playoffs in Cincinnati.

Unless the Bengals lose to the Browns in the season finale, and the Chiefs beat the Broncos ...... the Bengals lost to the Jets earlier this season, and the Browns would love nothing more than to kick their intra-state rival in the nuts to salvage a little bit of satisfaction from an otherwise disappointing season. o |
I didn't get to see the game and glad I didn't.
So I guess the only excuse is? CHOKE! on every one? |
Unfuckinbelieveable

What a shit show for the opening kick. If either Wentz or are 3rd and long D are just slightly less than awful then we win today. Unfortunately that wasn't the case. I would think (or at least hope) that we take care of business against the Jagoffs next week, but I seriously doubt we'll get anywhere in the playoffs.

Hopefully we actually show up, unlike today, and take care of business. |

Hes just not the guy, plain and simple. He does a few good things here and there but will not be the guy to lean on when the going gets tough, and that is the proverbial nail.
