Frank Reich Still the Problem?
 

16 points?

10-point 4th qtr collapse?

Less than 50 yards rushing after the first drive? Less than 200 yards passing?

Early down runs over and over?

Defense played fucking great but gets gassed by the end?


This was all Frank Reich stuff, right? Smartest guy in the room stuff?

Said in the game thread, late stages of this game looked exactly like the idiocy that was this team under Frank.

the team is the problem


reich was a good coach but this team was done with him

We looked the same as under Reich last week, too. Michael Pittman just happened to miraculously recover his own fumble.

Some people predicted a temporary boost from Saturday but this is still the same badly flawed team.

Of course it did because Frank wasn’t the problem.

This is a flawed team, but I'm not sure that they are badly flawed.

2 weeks ago when the Eagles were undefeated and the Colts had just gotten absolutely steam-rolled by the Patriots, I believe that most Colts fans would have laughed if somebody had suggested that they would lead the Eagles by a score of 13-3 at the start of the 4th quarter, and that the Eagles would need a late rally to barely eke out a 17-16 win.

Without watching the 22 tape, it just doesn't feel like we can stretch the field enough. Ryan is accurate and a pretty quick decision maker for the most part... but things always feel so clogged up. And receivers also seem to have to wait on the ball a noticeable amount even on medium stuff.

The offensive line turned back into the pumpkin it’s been all season after a Cinderella performance against the awful Raiders. 4 sacks allowed and no room for JT.

Ryan isn’t ideal but he’s completely neutralized behind this offensive line.

You can live with Raimann going forward and maybe Fries, too, expecting growing pains. But our vet OL has not played up to standard this season. And we severely miss Jack Doyle and all the "boring" stuff he did so well in run and pass games (MAC is pretty invisible). By the way, we still don't seem to do much creative in the run design, particularly wide, which might loosen thing ups.

Ryan does a lot of stuff well. Still don't feel like we stretch the D out enough. Ryan apparently isn't confident going over the top and even the medium stuff has our WR's waiting on the ball a noticeable amount of time. I think that tightens things up, too, both pass and run game.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it just seems clogged all the time. And Reich's gameplanning doesn't seem to be the issue. It produced before and I wonder if we'll miss him when/if we get a young QB settled.
