Fire frank reich

[Oldcolt]

Article in IndyStar backs up what I have been saying. Nobody is calling for Reich to be fired (at least not me) but even the players felt we were getting away from who we are. That is all I wanted, awareness that the road for this team is through the trenches, not primarily on Wentz's arm. We can run on anyone, lets force our will on teams the rest of this year.

I love our O-line, Taylor, and our running game. It should be our primary weapon, obviously. But I also like adaptation.

The thing that's bothered me most this week (and that article alludes to it again) is the play-calling taking the blame for the loss. For a 5-turnover game (4 really), turnovers have gotten a relatively low amount of press.

It's a dead horse so I'll leave it alone, but one more tidbit...

The Patriots just crushed the Titans 36-13. But how many people realize that Tennessee ran the ball 39 times for 270 yards? That's 6.9ypc. Without Henry. And they lost by 23pts.

How? 3 fumbles lost and an interception.

I generally agree with this, and as the week has passed, I am drifting away from my frustration. However, one bias I can't get over is that I believe that the most crucial TO was the strip sack, and while that was almost entirely to Fisher getting beat, I thought at the time, and still do, that our predictability helped put us into the possibility of a play like this. Just one or two runs to keep the D somewhat honest.

The reason they lost was the turnovers. Turnovers will kill your chances no matter what you do.

That said, I think we could have mitigated our turnovers if we had sprinkles in the run. By becoming predictable I think they allowed TB to concentrate on passrush with their speed. We have one good receiver and then it’s iffy after that. I would force us to pass all the time if I was the opposing team.

I just can’t agree with that argument. Only one of the turnovers would have possibly been affected by that. Pascals fumble, Hines fumble, and the first interception had nothing to do with pressure. The last interception was a Hail Mary where Wentz was flushed from the pocket by a 3 man rush, but still not really applicable. So only the strip sack. But every RPO the team ran became a pass because TB was dead set in stopping the run - both in alignment and after the snap. That doesn’t fit the narrative of a team no longer concerned with the run. They were so concerned with the run that they sold out to stop it. Colts players just made too many bad plays.

Great call out on the WR's. Frank isn't necessarily working with Randy, Jerry, and Marvin out there but we still throw it 26 straight times?

Goes to show you exactly how good the play calls were against one of the better teams in the league. They had no problem moving the ball against a good defense with admittedly a poor receiving corp.

Did you die and get reincarnated as Dam with a spam account? This is so weird. Chuck is Dam's dad, so are you like a half-brother / sister, where Chuck and Frank bedded the same woman but you grew up in different cities?
