Fucking insane situational rotation that keeps anyone from getting continuity (he juggled lineups like bad basketball coaches that sub players in the middle of momentum runs).

As many have pointed out, we've got a new HC, but we're still using the Reich playbook and essentially the same OC because you simply can't install a new offensive plan in the middle of a season (though you could also point out that someone like Belichek can run a different offense seemingly every week, and other teams can put in 3rd string QB's and still be at least competent...).

No, this scheme is worthless. It is predictable, it brings virtually zero explosive elements to the table and it lends itself to the QB having to hold the damn ball because it is so predicated on bullshit levers that have to be pulled in perfect concert for shit to happen. Which, when you have an Oline that is legitimately the worst in the NFL, well you've got a huge fucking problem. This pass out to the flat shit that we run 8 times a game, that's the worst fucking play in the NFL- and somehow we think this is a good thing to do over and fucking over?

As someone pointed out earlier re: the blame game between Reich and Ballard. Yep, Ballard put us in a position where we had dudes like Pryor and Pinter on the roster (which sucks). Frank was their coach, the one that was paid to evaluate and utilize them to the best of their abilities. Somehow Frank allowed Pryor to be the LT for MULTIPLE games- that's just piss poor coaching!

Frank needed to go, Ballard needs to go, Parker needs to go, OL Coach needs to go, along with a bunch of players that just aren't any good at football which includes guys like Smith who just doesn't seem to give a fuck anymore.

Colts had the 11th ranked offense in the league last year with Carson Freaking Wentz as their quarterback. They led the league in rushing.

A bad offensive system doesn’t produce those results.

You just have no idea what you’re talking about.

You hated Reich and wanted him gone and when the team got demonstrably worse after he left you switch to, “well, it’s still his system”.

Bullshit.

Franks system produced above average offenses every year he was here except for the year Luck quit in august. With the exception of this year.

And the problem this year has always been the offensive line.
