Cross' read and play on that fake-reverse-end-around was awesome. Tough read and a tough play to make, well executed on both counts.

Jones is balling right now because he has a bona fide top 10 offense in terms of talent. Maybe top 5. Adding Warren has really opened things up for the offense.

Now, it remains to be seen how long, or if, Jones can keep this up but as long as he does, this offense will be fun to watch.

We 100% lucked into Warren. He is lights out great. He had a catch and run near the left sideline where it seems like He effortlessly made two people miss.

Great release off the block, DJ with a touch pass and warren embarrasses two guys. Link below should show the play on the youtubes.

His ability to recognize body momentum of the defenders is remarkable.

When he bodied out Surtain, that was a thing of beauty.

Right, kind of like that scrub manning who only had James, Wyane, Harrison and Clark as well as some great Ols as well. The QB clearly is not a part of making that work and that is why with AR the Colts were great. Oh Wait, maybe you are holding the bar to fucking high to give the guy credit.

Ehh, maybe you’re right.

Don't get me wrong, he probably will come down to Earth, hopefully just a little bit. He is not a tier 1 QB like Mahomes, Manning, or Brady, but until we get better, maybe good enough to have a chance.

He may not be a true 1 today but wait until the end of the year (if AR hits he could be a tier 1+). All I read was that Jones couldn't throw the long ball. What a bunch of horseshit that is. He doesn't have that wow arm that you cannot believe but his arm is way good enough. Giant fans acted like he was afraid to go deep, again that doesn't seem to be an issue here. I was afraid this guy would maybe sneak us into the playoffs for a one and done. If it keeps going this way I could easily see a deep run with Jones. This is the first time in over 10 years I have felt like this. Its nice for a change.

Its only week 2 so stats are not reliable, but I do find these interesting:

Passing stats:
Colts lead the league at 9.3 ypa
Colts 2nd in total passing yards at 588 (ironically the Giants are 1st)
Colts tied for 1st in first downs (with 49ers)
1st in 1st down %
Tied 1st in plays over 40 yards (with Giants)
Tied 3rd in fewest sacks allowed (2)

Rushing stats:
3rd in total rushing yards (Jags and Bills ahead)
2nd longest rushing play from scrimmage, 68 yards

Total offense, Colts are 2nd in total yards at 891 (behind Bills at 900)
4th in points scored

On defense
Colts 4th place in passing ypa at 5.8
5th place in total passing yards against 352
Tied 4th in interceptions

Curiously the total defense appears to be more balanced than other teams, because despite being 12th place in total rushing yards against, Colts are still 5th place in total yards against, suggesting that the other teams that are strong vs the run have given up a lot of pass yards.

Colts also 1st in FG, at 9/9 (really this isn't the best stat, needs more TDs, fewer FGs)

Colts also 1st in turnover margin (+4) with 3 INTs and a fumble recovery with 0 giveaways.

Individually
Jones is 2nd in passing yards
JT is 1st in rushing yards
Okereke 1st in tackles
Bynum tied 1st in INTs

It would be nice to see someone climbing the sack leaderboards.
