quick thoughts on another debacle - ColtFreaks.com

It was the same Titans game plan since Vrable became head coach. Nothing surprising, nothing new.

Old idea that works, play the run on the way to the Qb.

We need to blow the whole thing up at the end of the season.

As I said in the game thread, Ballard out, Reich out, Jim Irsay out. All high priced/salaried players out. Try to get first round picks for Taylor and Leonard, and if you can't, trade them for what you can get. Start Ehlinger and hopefully draft a franchise QB for the future in the next draft. It's going to hurt, it's going to suck, but I'd rather go 2-15 next year than keep this mess/fraud/sideshow going on and on and on.

I disagree to an extent. Yeah, blow up the coaching staff. However, the players have the talent to win in this league more often than not. The problem is that they need a coach to put them in the best possible situations to do so. Every team has some level of talent. A good coach, and a good QB are often the difference between the 2021 Jags and the 2022 Jags. Replace Frank, and I bet we sweep the division next year.

I watch a ton of football, a ton. Though I hate what Goodell has made of this league, I still love watching the insane athleticism these guys display week after week.

That said, and maybe it is just because I am so close to it and watch it with such intense focus, but it seems like the Colts have SOOOOOO many fucking different sets. It seems like the WR / TE group, and including Hines, are a constantly rotating cycle. It seems like it is hard to get continuity in Frank's system unless you are Taylor and Pittman. Seems like he does waaaaaaay too much scheming to try to make the opposition believe he won't be focusing on those two.

Outside of riding Taylor he doesn't seem capable of riding the momentum of particular players.

When a player gets rolling in basketball and he can't miss, you don't sit him down to get him a drink, you ride that wave until his ass collapses.

I literally despise watching Frank overcoach the game so damn much!

Texans and Jags both lost so the Colts are only a game and a half back in the division.

It doesn’t matter though because they can’t beat Jacksonville and they can’t beat Tennessee.

You’d think these guys would have some pride at some point but they don’t. They just don’t care. And Frank can’t do anything about it.

It’s ridiculous. This offensive line was bad last year but it’s just putrid this season. Consider this-the Colts gave up 32 sacks in 17 games last year. They given up almost half that already this year in just 4 games. 15 sacks allowed. That’s 28th in the league. Only the Bears, Bengals, and Commanders are worse.

It’s unbelievable how bad they’ve been.

Sad as fuck!

They need to start putting asses on the bench. Bench Kelly and Smith. Put Pinter at center, Pryor at right tackle, and Raimann at left tackle.

They have to do something. I mean, it’s not like they can be much worse.

I’d also like to remind people that the Colts have more money invested in their offensive line than any other team.

It’s just ridiculous. Someone needs to be fired, benched, or cut.

I don't understand how the line is so bad. Was the last 2-3 years some sort of mirage? Weren't they good at one time? Were Constanzo and Glowinski just that critical to their success? Did they all forget how to play football? Were they all just playing for a paycheck?

I haven't seen an OL this bad for the Colts since Samson Satele and Mike McGlynn were a part of the team.

And they can't beat Houston.
