wentz

Everyone loved him a few weeks ago.

You can't play great every game. Holmes sucked for 4 weeks in a row.

Next week is going to be a big struggle since the jags always play the colts tough.

Wentz was just awful from the very first snap today. Just brutal.

I’ve been one of his biggest defenders but today was almost as bad as the 2nd Titans game. He was THE reason Indy didn’t win today.

We can barely make the playoffs. Something is wrong here and I think it’s Wentz. The guy kills more drives with his inaccuracy and bad decisions. All we need is a game manager and he can’t even do that.

Reich has been wrong many weeks, too.

With all those dudes, and with the number of losses that have come after dominating the TO battle. I see a much bigger problem than QB play.

Unfortunately the Colts best chance at improvement is likely going to be Reich working with Wentz and trying to minimize the bad Wentz as much as possible. Let’s face it - Colts fans have been spoiled by Manning and Luck. This is what most franchises deal with season to season. The Colts can win SBs with Wentz, but it certainly won’t be because of him.

Minimize his mistakes and build a D that can get turnovers, but doesn’t require them to be effective. Add more help at WR and cut down the worst of Wentz. You can win that way. And at this point it is much more likely than finding a franchise QB.

Yeah, as much as I detest him right now, the Colts will roll with him at least one more year. So the best hope is that Reich can correct some of the bad out of him.

That said, I'm not sure what Reich can do about the decision making. The most brain dead play I saw today was Wentz, who admittedly did a spectacular job of escaping out of a sure sack, had a huge lane to run and gain yards. Instead, for some stupid inconceivable reason he decides to pass the ball to a guy who was covered. At the best if that pass is made he's getting tackled for a 10 yard gain. Unless there was a different angle, he could have ran for 10 yards in his sleep at worst, and may have got 20-30 or so.

Yeah, Wentz is god awful. What's really bad about the situation is that as he's gotten healthier and more time to gel with the offense he's just gotten worse.

Unfortunately it looks like we're going to be stuck with him for the next year+

reich doesn't really trust him. which holds the offense back.


wentz is inaccurate, bad in the pocket and makes dumb decisions. any playoff wins will be in spite of him.

I have no idea how we can say Reich doesn't trust him? He let him throw the ball 26 times in a row in a game just a few weeks ago. In the 2 minute today he threw a bunch of passes in a row. Trying to get into the EZ late in the game today he was allowed to throw it. I think he trusts him, I think he trusts him way too F-king much actually.
