Also discouraging to see how bad Parks Frazier's play calling was yesterday. They ran the ball 80 percent of the time on first down for .75 yards per carry. That’s pathetic any way you look at it. And way to predictable in the NFL.

Spot on.

Last year, the offensive line was among the best in the NFL.

This year, the offensive line was the worst in the NFL up until 2 weeks ago ...... and even after the last 2 games, they are still far below average overall in the 11 total games in which they have played.

We disagreed about their performance in yesterday's game, but we are in complete agreement that they have been atrocious overall for the entire season.



I have said on numerous occasions that whenever you start any football team, you always start with the offensive line, because without the offensive line you have nothing.

He said that you don't start with the quarterback ...... you don't start with the special teams ..... you don't start with the running backs ...... you don't start with the pass-rushers ...... you start with the offensive line, because without the offensive line, you have nothing.



I still believe that to be true ...... and if that is indeed true, it's a minor miracle that the Colts have a record of 3-3-1 with an offensive line that has had a grand total of 1 good game.
