It's time to bench AR. That is all.

Nonsense. We lost by 3 with AR playing like dogshit.

The entire offense is COMPLETELY different with Flacco under center.

We just need AR to play better. Which we know he’s capable of.

These are the growing pains we should have gone through last year.

I don’t understand what this offense is. You can’t just run 40 yard pass plays every down. Then the B penalties put them in 3rd and long. JT had over 5 a carry, run him. Help your young QB.

The end of the first half was horrible coaching, why put him in that situation. You have to manage him, he isnt a 6 year vet.

Same old thing upcoming. Getting close just need to clean things up. Need to coach better blah blah blah. Fire everyone & start over. Again

Unfortunately it's looking like that for AR. 2 for fucking 15 in the first half. What the total fuck was that? And AR just keeps getting worse. Can't wait to see what he does next week .

Steichen might be ok if he had a QB who was accurate at all, but he definitely looks clueless on helping AR out. 3rd and 3 from your own ~10. AR has gone 2/14 in the first half and just threw a pass that should have been picked. So he calls up empty backfield w/ a timing route over the middle. Absolutely horrible play calling.

Well, we’ve got At Minnesota and Buffalo in the next two weeks so 4-6 is almost certainly what we’ll be.

[Thorgrim]

Disappointed.


Nothing else to say.

That's your answer. Your QB was 10/32.

Our OL was shit today too. When they weren't false starting they were getting their asses handed to them by Anderson, Hunter, etc., etc., etc.

The Ravens looked unbeatable over their last 5 games, and they lost to the Browns today.

Most Colts fans didn't think that the Colts had a chance to beat the previously-undefeated Steelers last month, but they did.


I wouldn't be so quick to assume losses in future games because the other team is favored.

Steichen is weird. He seems, for whatever reason, to be just fine having 2 incompletions and 3rd and 10 and in a damn near impossible position to convert. But he seems to HATE the concept of running twice and having 3rd and 4 which is converted at a much more frequent rate because of how many options are available on the play sheet at that point.

The one thing we have all seen with JT- he is a trust the process back. He will have 6-8-10 straight runs for 1,2,3 yards, and then he will fucking house it. Then, he is a fucking monster just gobbling up 12-20 yarders after that.

Steichen just cannot seem to allow that pattern with JT for whatever the fuck the reason is.

Starting to think he is way too similar to Reich in that he wants have a lot of the attention focused on him, how inventive, how creative he is vs just doing the right things to win fucking games!

The problem is AR hasn't shown any improvement at all and actually just keeps getting worse. Seems like it might be best to pivot and try to develop him the old fashioned way b/c throwing him out and and sticking w/ him isn't working.
