The rise and fall of the third Reich?

[rm1369]

I’m not nearly as down on Reich as it seems most are.

I was fine going for it on 4th. I figured Buffalo would get points before half and I didn’t think FG’s would beat them. Getting 7 or having them pinned deep was worth the risk IMO. They made some great plays. That’s really the difference in the game - they

IMO Reich deserves credit and should not be on the hot seat, which seems like a knee jerk reaction to the loss today. Even though today was disappointing, 11-5 and giving probably the 2nd best team in the AFC (and possibly NFL) everything they could handle is overall a really good season and definitely improvement YOY.

There are definitely some things he needs to improve on:

- Our end of half/game clock management needs a lot of improvement.
- He should probably reign in passing on FGs a bit. Not only did it cost us today, but it should have lost the game at Hou.
- He gets too cute on his play calling at times. The set of downs that led to said passed on FG being prime examples.
- He definitely needs work on his in game adjustments and inexplicably abandons the run too often.

If he cleans up some of that then he'll be a top flight coach IMO.

Nor did I. I know what he was thinking, but I still don't like the call

I didn’t have a problem with the call. With the investment the team has made on the oline they should be able to convert from the one. And if they failed they had another shot to make the point back (as happened). I don’t think it was the obvious call, but I don’t see it as a bad one.

Reich is ok with me. Just stop getting so cute all the time at the goal line.

No on Wentz. He is too fragile and not that great. Draft a QB, see what’s available on the market. We need accuracy at the position. Rivers missed guys in key situations. Gotta be able to hit open guys.

Strengthen the roster. We need pass rush, corner, WR. Hopefully LT isn’t a need yet.

Reich is not and should not be on the HOT seat, he needs to dial back some of his aggression and "cute" plays, but he is a solid coach and I think will continue to get better.

I agree. Especially about the "cute" plays... That's one of the reasons I hope Brissett moves on.

Either they get Wentz and he's the franchise QB we all want, in which case you've put it off for much more than 1 year, or he's not, in which case he'll perform poorly and put the Colts in striking distance of drafting a franchise QB with a Top 10 pick.

The Colts should get their LT of the future in this draft. Castanzo is incredibly likely to retire in 2022 if he doesn't in 2021.

Eason, PJ Walker , or a rookie QB

That’s my list no need to pay a guy 25 mil or up

I’d be really interested in Walker
