Can you post a link so I can share with my friends not on here?

They did the same thing for years with Luck as well. The difference was that Luck was able to bail them out of bad long down and distance situations a lot of times which made it appear much better than the reality was.

Shitty coaching for years and years, such a waste. Did no one on Pagano's staff have the balls to show him film and stats like these and say "They know what we are doing, we are being too predictable?" Someone should have grown a pair and brought it up. Either that or someone did and Pagano's dumb ass ignored them.

I really like Reich's approach from what I read in that Peter King article, about changing things up out of formations that defenses think you are going to do one thing in, and then do another. I think if Luck is able to come back and throw as well as he previously did, we are going to be VERY happy with this offense.

Weren't there 3 former head coaches on Chuck's staff? Somebody had to have known.

It was a twitter thread, but he wrote up an article at the link below.

It’s almost like opponents could rope-a-dope the Colts. Let them get out to a lead, then the Colts would fall into their own trap.

If you show this to the resident damass, he'll just say that the reason we were able to get the lead in games was due to excellent coaching (even though coaching does not matter) only to fall when the talent level gets exposed. This article refutes that. His follow-up on the moronic coaching decisions should be enlightening to all but said damass. He'll probably trot out his alter ego apagano'sballsinhismouth to argue first and then appear days later.

This analysis is.......horrific. I knew that we were predicable but, by all that is holy, these numbers are horrific.

Thus supporting the concept that our talent level is not nearly as bad as was billed all year but that we ended up giving away any advantages we might have had late in the game and having those decisions overcome our talent.

I am SO looking forward to 2018.

Walk Worthy,

The one thing I always said I had a problem with in regards to the previous regime was that their playcalling was too conservative. This illustrates that. That said, I think a thing that's overlooked by the author is the late game turnovers that plagued this team. They were probably a bigger factor in the late game collapses than the playcalling. That's why I think Brissett is best suited as a backup at this point in his career, and a healthy Luck along with some improvements in free agency and the draft could have this team back in the postseason, and crazy things can happen once you're in.

Counterpoint: when the defense knows what’s coming, how much of those turnovers are the fault of the players?

Still a lot, because a QB always has the option to throw the ball away. It's a smarter play than throwing a pick six, if not a popular one.
