Let’s take a deep breath

On Offense, we have a rebuilding OL, and one of the pieces, at LT, is a guy who’ll never be confused with Anthony Castonzo. We have a thin WR corps that was missing its two most talented pieces; and the Jags have always been willing to sell out to stop Taylor.

On Defense, we have a lot of nice pieces, but we’re just not wired to stop a QB who takes a quick drop and gets rid of the ball.

On Offense, I’d be lying if I said there was much to like. The nearest thing to a glimmer of sunshine was Dulin’s performance. 79 yards on 5 catches was respectable.

Against the Defense, Jacksonville only ran off two chunk plays…a 26 yard pass to Kirk and a 37 yard run by Robinson. Beyond that big run, they held Robinson to 27 yards on 22 carries. I’ll be the first to admit that that’s not much of a peg to hang your helmet on, but when you sift through a crap pile of a loss like this, it’s nice to find a couple of nuggets that aren’t manure.

(vs. CHIEFS, 9/25)


The Colts' defense was excellent.

The Colts' new kicker was 2-for-2 in field goal attempts, and 2-for-2 in extra point attempts.

The offensive line was horrible.

In spite of the atrocious performance from the offensive line, Matt Ryan still managed to have a QB rating of 105.9 ...... that included 2 TD passes, 0 INT's, and a game-winning touchdown drive late in the 4th quarter.
