quick thoughts on another pagano lead blowout loss

[GoBigBlue88]

Good stuff, Omaha. Just a few quick ones from me...

1. Glad you saw that from Good. I don't know if I'm sold on him at RT, but he's the only guy besides Kelly I've ever seen pancake someone on this line.

2. This is the most bored I have ever been watching the Colts, and I'm a football nerd. They're not just bad, they're boring. They have no guts. They go 3-and-out, punt, then allow a long drive. There just isn't anything to get excited about around this team, and that has to terrify Irsay and Ballard. How many plays actually interested you today? Maybe a Mack run, Hilton TD and Basham sack? Maybe 3 or 4?

3. Brissett is clearly a QB2, but if he's going to play QB1, he has to pull the damn trigger. I don't know how many times Hilton was wide open only for Brissett to take a sack. He doesn't see downfield, doesn't go through progressions quickly enough and doesn't understand what to do when he makes the decision NOT to throw. This kid is a mess, honestly. And more evidence that players backslide once this coaching staff gets a hold of them.

4. At least Kamar Aiken made me laugh today?

I believe all 4 sacks were avoidable today if he throws the ball away. It is his nature to keep the ball and try to make a play. It's not smart and he needs to get rid of it.... this is ALL ON THE COACHING. They are doing nothing to change his thought process in these situations


Glad Wilson got to play today. Made some mistakes and will hopefully get better but he was not an upgrade over the starters we had in Melvin and Disir and Hairston. Not saying that will always be the case and will improve with playing time. Nothing special right now

congrats to Frank Gore..... easily one of my favorite Colts these days

i am not sold on him yet. I think he can do the job and do it well but I need to see him do it week after week before I am sold

At least Pagfuck didn't lose another lead today

I would add a comment abt Quincy Wilson to this list, just the fact that he was a complete non-factor / seems to me his position on the depth chart was well-deserved, something we weren't sure abt before today.

Being a non factor is a good thing for a cb

Yet he received praise for his play against Arizona and then between an injury and coaching idiocy he does not see the field for 11 weeks? You may be right but I'm hoping he gets a start next week to see if game speed continuity helps him pick his performance up.

Surely you can't have expected huge things from a rookie who hasn't played since week 2?

I agree with this but the amount of bitching that he wasn't playing was getting pretty tiring.

He wouldn't have played again today if Melvin were healthy. And we would have had a better secondary with Melvin.

Not sure what his maturity issues are that they talk about but If his 'maturity' issues are that he just doesn't want to play special teams. Then he needs to sit he hasn't earned anything yet.

I don't know what the behind the scenes reasons are but obviously he isn't working very hard to correct those issues or he would be on the field and at least playing ST's. Can only dress so many and the back ups need to play STs

It is pagano

There may not be any maturity issues at all.
