OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: Season On the Line PART II (vs. BILLS, 11/10)

[Colts And Orioles]

o


(THE COLTS' DEFENSE)



Considering the fact that 10 of the Bills' 30 points were due to a pick-6 by Joe Flacco at the beginning of the game and by Shane Steichen's inexplicable time-out call in the final seconds of the first half which resulted in the Bills tacking on 3 points on the final play, I thought that the Colts' defense wasn't that bad today.

There were times when they were porous and vulnerable, and allowed the Bills to convert on 3rd-and-long and 2nd-and-long.




Possessions: lllllllllllllllllllllll) 10

Punts: llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 2

Turnover on Downs: lllllltt 1

INT: llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll,, 2

FG: llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l. 3

TD: llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll l. 2

At this point, I am assuming it's Jim Irsay's decision not to play AR. Nothing else makes sense, and should be fireable.

I mean, he wasn't the ideal franchise QB, but I wouldn't call it bad.

-Pretty good against PIT and we won
-Underwhelming against TEN but led two long drives to take the lead and win
-Lost to JAX but threw for 360yds, 3td, and a 121 rating

Those games made him the "safe" route. These past two weeks have been bad. Three INTs and a fumble is Matt Ryan '22 bad. Question is whether they chalk it up to playing two of the top teams in the NFL or if they think he just shit the bed.

If they choose the latter... Might as well let AR have it. "For the sake of the rest of the team" doesn't apply if the "safe" guy isn't safe.

It’s Steichen, not Ballard who is to blame for the current mess. Not that I’m absolving Ballard mind you, but he drafted the quarterback Shane Steichen wanted.

Steichen is the FUCKING IDIOT who somehow got the idea that this team is ready to win and AR was holding us back.

He should be fired for that bullshit alone.

Goddamnit. Anyone could see this coming from 100 miles away.

This team is 4-6 with mediocre-at-best play from the QB position, and with a head coach who doesn't seem to have a clue in regard to clock-management or play-calling.

If this team had a good quarterback and even a decent head coach, they would probably be at least 6-4 or 7-3.

The one aspect of Flacco's game that has improved since his early days in the NFL is his pocket-presence ...... his pocket-presence was absolutely atrocious when he played for the Ravens, and now it is considerably better.

Other than that, I agree with you, he was never that great in the first place.

Hey Steichan/Ballard/Irsay,

Fuck you for making the dumbass decision to play Flacco. Especially after the horrible Vikings performance.

Seriously, this decision is dumb beyond words. I cannot believe they're doing it, and most likely will next week given how completely fucking stupid they are.

I hope they clean house. I detest all of them.

It’s SO FUCKING STUPID. They deluded themselves into believing they were Flacco level play at quarterback from being a contender.

Never mind the fact that Flacco ain’t that damn good in the first place and the HORRIBLE defense would prevent them from winning to many games anyway.

But the worst part, and the really inexcusable part, is that they’re STILL not finding out what they have in AR.

So we’re STILL stuck in QB purgatory and our team STILL sucks.

It’s unfucking believable.

If Irsay wasn’t coked out of his mind all the time, as he clearly is, he’d step in and put a stop to this BULLSHIT.
