I have a feeling being head coach AND calling the plays is catching up with Reich and this team. The team and/or QB isn't up to it and Reich's own confidence is shaken and/or misplaced. So it's affecting the calls. His job is on the line with every series now.

Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

For those that watched preseason heavily, or are invested in college football, what's the outlook on Sam Ehlinger?Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

Here's the problem (and someone else may have already pointed this out), but if Wentz doesn't miss around 4.5 games, our 1st round draft pick this year goes to Philly, no matter what our record is. We're already 3 games in and clearly yesterday would have been a good game for him to miss. This trade is a disaster it looks like to me already. We either are going to lose a probably top half of the first round pick or we're going to have to bench Wentz for the last third of the season which is just going to be ****ing weird for everyone.
I have real doubts about Chris Ballard's decision making. Outside of the 2018 draft, he's had a lot of misses.
I don't want to pin all of this on Wentz either because I think that's a slippery slope, this team was supposed to be able to be built to win with just average QB play, they aren't. Reich was also supposed to be an offensive genius, he's not.

I've been thinking, I wonder what we could get for Wentz in a trade if we just cut bait. Could we swap him for like a 5th round pick and a serviceable QB to hold the fort? (I know the Nick Foles stuff will immediately get brought up), does he have any value? This might be the smartest way to get out of that particular decision. He can't reach the necessary games to play for us if he's not on our team.

We dropped back to pass 40 times yesterday in a game where we basically never trailed by more than one possession for 80% of the time. We ran our two RBs, Taylor and Hines, 16 total times and got 5+ yards a carry out of those.
Can anyone explain that to me? How is that not setting an injured Wentz up to fail? Reich says he feels that was our best course of action to win the game yesterday, is he really that dumb? 40 freaking passes with an injured QB and an offensive line that has been a disaster in pass protection. It's really baffling.
Also teams with a +3 turnover margin, have a 92% win rate historically in the NFL. Yesterday was a historically bad loss.

I'm gonna say meh?
Seems like a nice guy and stuff, but when you read the tea leaves it seems like he and Eason are just products of the Colts offseason hype machine. That fact we brought in a guy like Hundley who has been pretty much dog doo doo every time he's stepped on an NFL field above both of them says a lot

Our receiving talent is weak for a 2021 NFL team. Last year’s successes were a result of Rivers being really good and delegating the ball to a group of mediocre receivers. Plus we had a good run game.
Our leading receiver in yards last year was a shell-of-himself Hilton with 762 yards. How many teams have gone 11-5 in recent years without a receiver even breaking 800 yards?
This year Hilton isn’t even playing yet and who knows what he will look like at this point. So our best receivers are who, Pittman and Pascal? They would be fine 3rd or 4th options but you’re In trouble if they are 1 and 2. We have incredibly weak receiving talent and that falls on Ballard.Last edited by Sollozzo; 09-27-2021, 01:16 PM.Comment

I think if you could blend Eason's physical skills with Ehlinger's mental skills - you'd have a pretty damn good QB.
Individually tho - they both have shortcomings.Comment

Absolutely. It's really sad how bad our receiving corps is. But that's what happens when a guy liek Parris Campbell ends up being AWFUL. Colts tried to create Hilton 2.0 which seems to be one of the achilles heels of our franchise, we find a guy we really love and then keep trying to draft him over and over again. Same thing happened with the Dorsett pick...
Pittman could be a nice number 2 I think. Pascal could be a nice 3 potentially, but the Colts lack vertical speed everywhere on the roster except in the backfield. Hilton isn't gonna fix it. The league keeps getting faster overall and it feels like we have one of the slowest teams. I could be talking about the Pacers as well right here which is depressing.
I don't think the Colts value elite number 1 receivers enough because of Manning and especially Luck. If you look at Luck's receiving talent after Reggie tore his ACL, it's prety pathetic and he would still sling for 4,000+ yards in his sleep so we just thought you could get away with that. But teams are starting to load up on receiving talent and it tends to bring good results right now. Look at the Seahawks, Cardinals, Rams, Bucs, Chiefs, Bills....lots of talent all over the edges of the field. Even teams like the Cowboys, Bengals, Raiders, Chargers, Titans, Vikings....we have one of the worst receiving corps in the NFL.

Also, I've been watching Matt Stafford and it just makes me depressed. Only way I'd be more depressed is if I was a Lions fans. How did they waste a decade of QB talent like that
