Frank reich is horrible

[omahacolt]

i get the criticism of reich but i don't understand how much he is getting.

the defense allows 8 yard passes at will. basically unchallenged. all day long.

reich doesn't rush the passer.

reich doesn't make wentz throw into triple coverage when he could check down for 20 yards in ot

That’s his job as the coach know a player’s limitations and eliminate the possibility of stupidity… he routinely puts the ball in Carson’s hands unnecessarily when clearly our best player is Taylor and our strength was supposed to be offensive line… up 14-0 RTDB

Reich either called 51 pass plays or allowed Wentz to do so. Reich regularly takes his best player off the field. Reich regularly substitutes offensive linemen when you said yourself nobody does that. Reich calls really bad plays in really bad spots like the screen pass from the endzone. He’s way to conservative in spots and way to aggressive in others.

I don’t understand why you don’t understand the criticism Reich is getting. He richly deserves it.

I don’t understand why you want to dump most of the blame on Ballard when they keep losing totally winnable games because of obviously bad decision making on Reichs part.

My guess is Reich staked it all on the success of Wentz. If Wentz does not prove to be worth all they gave/give up to get him, Reich may get the axe.

Yesterday, Glowinski was in on only 4 plays.

Ebersuck works for Reich. My expectation, and given how ass this team is it could be wrong, but my expectation is these two work together quite a bit and discuss strategy and situational specific plans. My expectation is they game plan together. As such, the 8 yard passes unchallenged, is because Frank thinks that is good strategy and tells Ebersuck to keep sucking!

Pitchforks and bonfires! I still believe we can finish 10-7. Blackmon going down hurts and if Willis is out for awhile retract my statement, but I think this team is different than most and I love them for it.

Eberflus was a Ballard signing. He was on staff as part of the McDaniels debacle. They are also running a defense with nearly zero effective edge rush. It’s going to have holes. I’m not suggesting they are doing great by any means, I’m just pointing out again that Reich is the scapegoat for an issue that is squarely on Ballard. His coaching hire he hasn’t given the most important element to, yet it’s all Reich’s fault. Ballard is made of Teflon in Colts world.

Yup, that's what happens when you decide to run pass play after pass play after pass play with a depleted WR corp, instead of using one of the best RBs in the NFL that was having an effective day.
