Not only did the Eagles fleece Ballard they also made the playoffs.

I said it earlier and it's been mentioned... This defensive scheme isn't going to stop anyone, let alone anyone good, without some pass rush that doesn't look like pushing the sled.

When Lawrence was 15/17 I kept thinking back to Brees' 29/30, Minshew's 19/20, Jackson's 37/43, etc... Even Carr last week, aside from two outstanding INTs on D, he still completed something like 83%.

I know it's not the same scheme... But Dungy used to say that the idea was to prevent the big play and give up plays in front of you forcing long drives. Increasing the odds of the QB making a bad throw or the four DL getting home and creating inconvertible down and distance

Well, even young guys nowadays are too good to rely on bad throws during pitch and catch. And our down four don't include Freeney/Mathis or Rice/Sapp.

Scheme ain’t gonna matter when you’re missing 4 starters on defense and your down to practice squad guys playing DB

AND - they have 3 1st round draft picks. Pretty good. Dump a chump, save cap money and get another 1st rounder.

Trent Richardson 2.0....didn't that get Grigson fired?

That's true. And Kenny Chesney was forced to play against BAL when Jackson went off and we lost. To be fair, I'm actually not against this kind of scheme.

My ultimate point is these kinds of schemes tend to require non-blitzing pressure which we don't possess. And my perception at least, is that we too often make QBs look better than they are. Maybe I'm wrong.

I go back and watch random Colts games from the 2000's from time to time and the pass-rush on those teams is jarring in comparison.

Not nearly as quickly as it should have.

That would be great, but who is that guy and who does he know, or is he just someone trying to get clicks?

Also, even if true, people will calm down in the coming weeks and minds can change when that happens.

I wish, but Frank is his cushion, so long as Frank is here; "yeah you know Chris I hear what you are saying but I also him every single day in practice and let me tell you he can throw it with the best of them. Remember that TD to Patmon in the back of the end zone, that's Carson, that's Carson. I think if we just, well if you just let me work with him a little more, I really think Carson could be in the PB next year, probably MVP even. He is that good Chris. Jim, I know you love this guy's character too, you've seen him out at the food bank, that's a good guy, and he just had a baby, and ya know he had that Covid thing, so he's had a lot going on. Plus he played through those ankle injuries for us, he's a real warrior out there. So my vote is we keep him, give him another shot. Next year, I swear to God I will not have a stretch where I have him throw it 26 times straight. I won't do that, that was stupid. If you let me have him again this year, in game 3, I will have him throw it on every play- yes, all of them, because the defensive coordinator won't expect that and I am smart so yeah".

They made the playoffs, but they got their asses handed to them for the 2nd time this season by the Cowboys, and they wound up having an identical record as the Colts (9-8.)

If the Colts had gotten into the playoffs after yesterday's loss (and it nearly happened, as the Steelers and the Ravens almost finished their game in a tie), I suspect that the vast majority of Colts fans would not be particularly proud of their qualifying after the back-to-back losses that they sustained to end the regular season.
