Reich seems to be okay with it (obviously we have no concept of the truth behind the curtain), and if so, more confirmation that the dude is an idiot.

And while I agree that Reich has to take the blame for not telling Wentz to just run the damn play. The fault of the lack of running the ball is Wentz trying to be a hero.

Those were the RPO’s Reich alluded to after the game. It’s not a situation where Wentz audibled from a run to a pass, they were read and react plays that just happened to favor throwing the ball.

I’ve said I don’t think Wentz is a winner, so I’m not exactly one to defend him. However, without context of what plays he checked out of and the defensive alignment I don’t think we can say it was him playing hero ball. Identifying the defense and getting into a favorable play is good QB play. But we don’t know which it was without more information.

To be honest, last week soured me considerably on Wentz. Those ints were not winning plays and I wonder if the folks in Philly weren’t right about him.

Maybe he just doesn’t have what it takes.

Indy doesn’t need to pass 30 times to win this game. New York has proved to be unable to stop the run and Taylor, if showcased properly, can easily break 100 yds. Wentz needs to calm his ass down and just manage the game while occasionally testing the jets on play action with intermediate routes and a couple deep balls. If Eberflush stops with the soft zone and show some aggression I think White is good for a couple ints and hopefully a lost fumble. I can’t imagine we lose the turnover battle if Wentz doesn’t feel the need to play hero ball. If Reich calls just a decent game and has them play disciplined I see an easy 27-13 victory.

Geez, I can't believe all the excitement at beating one of the bottom-dwellers, the New York Jest. What will it be like if we ever beat a team with a winning record?

Reports are he checked out of 6 JT runs the last game

Where can I read those reports and what were the results of the checkouts?

[rcubed]

Danny. Fucking. Pinter.

[Brylok]

He looked like a kid out in the back yard

I'd really like to see them get Pinter going tonight...
