Indianapolis Colts Football

[Irish#1]

Unbelievable that Bradley waited until the second half to figure the Packers were going to run the ball.

Richardson’s inability to throw accurately especially short passes is a major problem. He needs a lot of work.

Going to be a long season.

On a side note, is Tony Dungy the worst coach ever winning just one Super Bowl with Manning?

 

[MacIrish75]

Our roster sucks.

AR is only 22 so I give him this year to get it figured out, but Gus Bradley has no excuse on the defensive side of the ball.

Shane has the worst qualities of Frank in that he always thinks he’s the smartest guy in the room and some of his play calls & decisions to go/punt make little sense.

Probably had more to do with Brady/Belichick being in league at the same time

It had more to do with Polian IMO. Pulls the rug on a perfect season. If the Colts would have won that game, I think they are laser focused during the playoffs.

Does anyone know why Taylor was on the sidelines for the fourth quarter?

Watching the Colts and Q. Guys just a big kid that loves to play. He had a couple of dominating blocks on the Colts first TD in the third.

I’m a Colts fan, but I don’t follow them with fervor like I do the Irish. Is Q still as dominant as he was his first couple of seasons? I know he’s had some injuries.

 

[Irish2155]

I’m a ‘Phins fan in Indy. Two fumbles with our 4th string QB inside the 10 killed us. True McDaniel style.

He’s been pretty much back to his excellent play last and this year.

"He's still practically a rookie" -- I cannot stand watching AR fail in the simple things at QB.

Jayden Daniels is a rookie and thus far is MILES better than AR.

Tim Doyle looked more capable of hitting the open man it looked like.

It took 3 quarters for AR to "get going".

 

[Irish2155]

Tua will be back soon.

Dolphins fumbled twice within the 10 to give Indy the win. McDaniel coaches discipline like a fat girl on a diet

Hill and Waddle touched the ball...two times? Crazy.

He will be back for a week or two until he bumps his head on a fellow fragile guy

I'm not a fan of the Colts taking AR and have doubts about him getting much better, but Daniels had played a lot more in college than Richardson. Colts did the most NFL thing ever and drafted him strictly off of potential.

 

[Irish2155]

Richardson absolutely can’t throw that pick before half.

 

[Irish2155]

Richardson 2 of 15 in the first half. Ouch. He’s not very good

 

[MacIrish75]

Just roll with Flacco and cut your losses at this point.

 

[Irish2155]

He’s down

 

[bkess8]

Colts don’t want to win and it’s apparent if they keep playing Richardson moving forward. He is horrible and they have a consistent winning QB on the bench in Flacco.

 

[Irish#1]

Richardson absolutely can’t throw that pick before half.

He can’t but that one is strictly on Steichen. 34 seconds left. Richardson almost had an INT right before that. Take a knee.

It’s time to put him on the bench.

 

[MacIrish75]

Jim needs to turn the reins over to his daughter. Time to move on from Ballard bc the roster construction sucks. Shane sucks. Trade AR for a 1/2 if someone is willing to take him for a 1.

 

[Sea Turtle]

Can we let him play a full season first? He played like 4 games last season. All that did was introduce him to the speed of the game.

He's still learning how to play QB. He's 22, 3 years younger than Will Levis. He's VERY bright. He will learn. His physical tools are off the chart.

When you draft AR, you are not trying to win now. He had some nice passes today and a drop that cost the team a td. He DOES need to stop being stubborn and learn to SLIDE.

FIFY

My guy, he’s going to need to complete juuuust a few more passes to develop in this league.

I agree. But you can't just give up on him. Let him learn. You want to alternate games with Flacco like Landry did with Staubach/and that other guy for awhile? OK, that's fair. But he does need to play at least some.

 

[BeauBenken]

AR is commiting the football equivalent of a war crime the longer we continue to play him.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

I’ve never felt this conflicted about a pro QB before. I really understand the bench him now crowd, and sometimes, I’m there too. But the board fell the way it fell in that draft, and AR was the only talent to take at that point. That’s a fact and there’s nothing you can do about it now but develop the guy. And there we are. I really am on board with the idea that he can become good one day. The freakish tools are there. But there’s absolutely nothing he can learn on the bench, and with the horseshit Gus Bradley defense it’s not like we’re winning a Super Bowl with Flacco, Manning, Brady, Montana or anyone else back there anyway. So we need to let it ride with AR this season, hell or high water. If shit looks the same week 17, ok, fine, let’s have that discussion then.

 

[Irish#1]

Regardless of how many games he’s played, he should by now know when to slide or get out of bounds. His scramble on the last series may or may not have cost them the game, but his failure to run out of bounds for a few extra yards cost them about 15 seconds and a couple more plays.

He has the physical tools and appears to be a great guy, but it’s what’s between the ears that wins games.

Bradley and Ballard need to go.

The Bears got a conditional 6th round pick for Fields, you’ll be lucky if someone offers you that for AR.
