Identifying the defense and getting into a favorable play is good QB play. But we don’t know which it was without more information.

To be honest, last week soured me considerably on Wentz. Those ints were not winning plays and I wonder if the folks in Philly weren’t right about him.

Maybe he just doesn’t have what it takes.

That's why it would be interesting to know what happened on the check outs. Were they successful? Were they failures? Half and half? Who knows?

Reich seems to be okay with it (obviously we have no concept of the truth behind the curtain), and if so, more confirmation that the dude is an idiot.

I’m going to wait till the end of the season. He’s had some good games and all QBs make mistakes. Really, his play should already have lead to more wins, but a multitude of bad luck and mistakes in other areas have brought us to where we are.

This is how I feel....besides, just drafting the highest prospect QB available in the draft is no guarantee he is not going to be a bust!

Someone said that int to end the game was the worst read they’ve ever seen an NFL quarterback make and I don’t disagree. That was horrific.

Still, you’re probably right. He just hasn’t shown me he can be more than just a talented guy who will always be not quite good enough.

If the Colts win tonight, it will have been 4 out of their last 6 ...... it started with the win over the Dolphins on October 3rd.

I'm really hoping that this team winds up going on a run similar to the 2008 team, who started out at 3-4 with a sore-kneed Peyton Manning, then wound up finishing at 12-4 after Manning's knee completely healed.

Yeah, that’s beating the 4 bad teams out of the last 6 they’ve played. They still haven’t beaten a team with a winning record.

Can you imagine the reaction if the Colts lose this game? Hard Knocks might win an Emmy award.

6 instances?? That means we intended to throw the ball on 45 occasions!!! We were winning this game handily, should automatically be running the ball after being up 14 points. I don't care if there are 9 men in the box, until they prove they can stop your running game you keep giving it to Taylor, Mack etc. Tennessee never stopped our run game, the Colts did.

I would love to see the Colts run the ball 35 times and only throw the ball 25. I bet we win most games if we did that! That is how our offense is setup, we have a great run blocking offensive line, we are weak at receiver at the moment, why would you want to throw the ball more than you run it?

Yes, I can imagine ...... and I hope that that notion stays right there, in my imagination.
