Frank reich is horrible

[albany ed]

My guess is Reich staked it all on the success of Wentz. If Wentz does not prove to be worth all they gave/give up to get him, Reich may get the axe.

Ebersuck works for Reich. My expectation, and given how ass this team is it could be wrong, but my expectation is these two work together quite a bit and discuss strategy and situational specific plans. My expectation is they game plan together. As such, the 8 yard passes unchallenged, is because Frank thinks that is good strategy and tells Ebersuck to keep sucking!

Pitchforks and bonfires! I still believe we can finish 10-7. Blackmon going down hurts and if Willis is out for awhile retract my statement, but I think this team is different than most and I love them for it.

Eberflus was a Ballard signing. He was on staff as part of the McDaniels debacle. They are also running a defense with nearly zero effective edge rush. It’s going to have holes. I’m not suggesting they are doing great by any means, I’m just pointing out again that Reich is the scapegoat for an issue that is squarely on Ballard. His coaching hire he hasn’t given the most important element to, yet it’s all Reich’s fault. Ballard is made of Teflon in Colts world.

Yup, that's what happens when you decide to run pass play after pass play after pass play with a depleted WR corp, instead of using one of the best RBs in the NFL that was having an effective day.

Discflinger you actually love this team? I find this group to be the least likable Colt team I have ever rooted for. Prima donas that think they are all that without ever winning shit. Coach that keeps saying what a good team he has here. Participation trophies galore at the end of the season with smiles all around because they 'won'. Think Lombardi would be saying lovely things about his QB who threw a pass a fourth grader wouldn't try? Parcels liked to say 'you are what your record says you are'. He was right. This is a mediocre team through and through. And very unlikable.

It’s baffling to me that people want to blame Ballard equally for Reichs buffoonery.

To be clear, I’m not absolving Ballard by any means. This team has holes.

I’d put the blame for the season so far at 75 percent Reich, 25 percent Ballard.

The defense sacked Tannehill 3 times and intercepted him twice. They held Henry under 70 yards rushing.

The defense wasn’t the problem yesterday.

Frank Reich lost that game with his stupidity.

Period.

Gameday decisions and bad play calls are on Reich. A weirdly constructed team and lack of weapons is on Ballard. Throwing into triple coverage and not using your check downs because is on Wentz.

This team doesn’t really lack weapons on offense, aside from those missing from injury. Pittman is becoming a clear number 1 receiver if he’s not already there. Everyone knows how good Taylor can be, except for Reich, apparently. MAC is a good player who is also underutilized.

As for Wentz, he is ONLY here because of Reich. A failure by Wentz is directly attributable to Reich.
