As truly awful as the Colts have been, i find it hard to believe we can continue to be this bad going forward. It is not as if the Colts haven't been in this scenario in recent years, and have then managed to have some success later in the year.
The rest of the NFL is also incredibly up and down. There is no dominant team, and everyone is beating each other. Even the Eagles the only unbeaten team are far from invincible the Cards had chances yesterday.

The offensive line has been exactly that "offensive" most of the time to watch. Raimann actually played reasonably ok in my opinion on Thursday, especially in the running game. Yes he had some penalties against him, although two of the holding penalties were weak calls, and the offsides, well how many times did Castonzo jump offside, felt like it was almost a weekly occurrence, I am prepared to forgive him that one instance on his debut in a loud stadium on the road. He needs to play the rest of the season and take his lumps...we need to provide additional help from the TE's and backs though to try to make his life that little bit easier.
Anyone who is saying that Pinter is the better player than Ryan Kelly needs their head examined professionally. Has Kelly played great, no he hasn't, but Pinter is a backup, and not the answer as a starting offensive lineman. Braden Smith in my humble opinion is still a good RT, but has struggled due to the protections and necessary teamwork required between himself and the RG spot. Similarly to how the poor RG play affects Kelly and how the poor LT play so far impacts Nelson. People easily forget that for good offensive line play it is essential for the entire group of 5 or 6 guys, to be in unison with each other. Assignments and blitz pickups with the TE's and RB's are a fundamental ingredient to good offensive line play as well. Hence why experience from the C, is usually the key to ensure the correct line calls are made to all personnel. Nelson did not play all that well last year, mainly because Fisher was playing poorly to his left. Nelson looked truly awesome in the prior years because he had solid play from Castonzo and Kelly either side of him.

I like the rookie class so far.
Pierce - Has come on big time in the last few weeks, needs to be careful with holding on to the ball, has been close to a couple of fumbles, and i am sure the one catch last Sunday was an incomplete pass. Woods - Come up with some huge catches and scored TD's, needs to be brought more into the weekly game plan and see more action. Raimann - Seems to have the LT spot to himself for now, growing pains are sure to continue, but there were some positives from his first start. Cross - Started the season off ok, but has barely seen the field in the last 3 weeks. Johnson - Has seen rotational snaps and seems to be doing ok, not really paid too much attention to him if i am being honest. Ogletree - On season ending IR, which was a shame as he looked like he was ripping things up in the preseason. Brooks - I believe he is on the practice squad. Thomas - Has probably been the player making the most impact as a rookie for the Colts, has played very well and has supplanted Cross in the lineup. Although he may very well now be taking the place of Blackmon, as i think McCloud is playing in Cross's role.

The Safety play generally has been excellent the last 3 games....which is saying something when you consider that we are actually using the 3rd and 4th guys on the depth chart from the start of the season with the two Rodney's.

In 2018, the Colts started out the season 1-5 ...... they had just lost to the lowly Jets, who wound up going 3-12 that season in their other 15 games. https://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/r...Teams/2018-ind The Colts then won 9 out of their next 10 games to finish at 10-6, then upset the favored Houston Texans in the playoffs on their homefield in southeastern Texas. They then lost in the divisional playoffs to the Chiefs, who came within an offsides penalty of making it to the Super Bowl before losing in overtime to the Patriots in the AFC championship game. o

yes starting the season in weak form is a pattern for Reich's teams. Going on a mid-season run is another pattern. Falling flat at the end is part of that pattern.
