quick thoughts after rams game
I dont have as keen an eye as many here, but since no one else started one, here it goes...
1. Overall we did better against the rams than I expected. We were gifted a TD from their punt fuck up but we did put them in that position with a good defensive stop deep in their end. 2. The D gives me headaches. They make some nice stops like mentioned above. At one point that forced three consecutive 3-and-outs. But then they give up a 4 play scoring drive right after we scored on the botched punt. Its like they weren't even on the field. 3. Kupp killed us. 4. Overall wentz played well and I am encouraged by his first two performances. It doesnt look like he is broken mentally like many thought. But he does need to just eat some plays sometimes. 5. Two series with goal to go and zero points!? Fucking terrible. The first one was three straight runs into the strength of their D followed by a pass that seemed doomed from the start. Reich needs to be better with his play calling. 6. Lots of injuries once again derailing this team. |

I am very concerned about the QB position...we all know Wentz has a history of injuries, we should have gotten a proven backup just in case, if any team in the league needs a strong number 2 QB it is the Colts! There were several available so I am really not sure what they were thinking. If Wentz misses more than a couple of weeks, the Colts have little chance of a post season!
BTW, I think your assessment was pretty spot on! |

1) looked to me like our offensive line is one of the worst in the league. Just embarrassing
2) all those 1st and 2nd round de's are doing nothing in regards to pass rush 3) don't stop the run well either 4) okereke hasn't been good 5) wentz needs to play smarter football. get rid of the ball sooner when plays break down. |

There aren't even that many good starting QB's much less good backups much less good backups that are not signed by a team. If Wentz can't go lets see if Eason can do anything. Unless the offensive line gets fixed it won't matter who our quarterback is, so I am not for bringing in anyone new. If the line gets fixed Eason should be ok. He would have time to throw and would have a running game. Big if.

In all fairness, that was a terrible position to put Eason in yesterday...I don't dislike the guy at all, and I hope he proves me wrong, but if you have hopes of a winning season why would you not be better prepared considering Carson's past injury history. I agree about Mack, love JT but the Colts need to find more ways of getting Mack in the offense...explosive player! |

Our strength is supposed to be on the lines. Our top guard in the league can’t get 1 yard at the goaline. Our oline looks absolutely awful. Castonzo threatened retirement for years and the best replacement was a guy coming off an Achilles. Our defensive line still can’t passrush from the end position despite spending a ton of high picks on ends. Now I know why our d line looked so good in camp.
We knew Eason is too wet behind the ears. Yet we still didn’t sign a vet. |

Perhaps we should have kept Autry, Walker, and Houston? For a team that is apparently lacking depth, having those guys would help. Okereke and AQM should be depth. Banogu is depth (at best)
We should have kept Bethea back in the day as well. And Freeney.

Still pissed about 1st and goal from the 1 when we ran the exact play three times and then got sacked on 4th down.

Then he gets hammered here and press for bailing out. Who ever was playing Right Turnstile for the colts should get a bonus from the Rams. Wentz gets killed what ever he does. The O line was terrible and no QB can make it look or smell better
