Sure, on a weekly basis I don't expect Moe-Allie to be a world-beater, but he can't beat coverage against lower tier competition? No play-action down the seam against a heavy run defense? No short drag routes with the RB's who are always hyped as being quasi-WR's? No gadget plays if it really looks like there's positively nothing working? I'd prefer they all call in sick next time.

I really like Reich as a coach and am still a massive supporter.

That said this was by far his worst game ever, and the fact he might be the type who stubbornly clings on to better worries me a bit.

Yesterday, I said that I believed that this was indeed a solid team overall, and that the notion that the Colts are a bad team that just happens to have a solid record of 5-3 (now 5-4) is/was reactionary ........, the Colts were on their 3rd choice of quarterbacks for 2019 in yesterday's game ........ Andrew Luck retired just prior to the start of the season, and Jacoby Brissett went down with an injury last week.


Hoyer was indeed awful yesterday, but again, he WAS the team's 3rd choice of QB for this season ........ additionally, Hoyer WAS NOT so awful last week against the Steelers. There was reason to think that he could have the kind of game that he had against the Dolphins that he had against the Steelers, and if he had, the Colts would have won yesterday's game by more than 7 points.


I think that this team has been somewhat reminiscent of the 2010 "Next Man Up" team, who went 10-6 and won the division title in spite of a myriad of injuries to key players.



http://www.jt-sw.com/football/pro/re...Teams/2010-ind



5-4 overall is relatively disappointing considering the heartbreaking losses that the Colts sustained in their last 2 games ........ but if somebody had stated that the Colts would be 5-2 after 7 games 5 minutes after Andrew Luck had announced his retirement on August 24th, most Colts fans would be rather shocked (shocked in a good way.)


Let it play out, stop the nonsensical talk of intentionally losing every game from here on out to bolster the position of the team's 2020 draft pick, and let Reich and company do what they have been doing since he came on board prior to the start of the 2018 season ........ fight like crazy to win each and every game, regardless of how good or bad the opponent is. Hardly anybody expected the Colts to lose at home to the Dolphins yesterday, but hardly anybody expected them to put the clamps on Patrick Mahomes and company on their homefield in western Missouri last month, either.

It's funny how quickly you guys turn on a coach. Two weeks ago, Reich was "ZOMG BEST COACH EVAR!" around here, but to read this thread, you'd think you guys were talking about Pagano.

I'm not going to sit here and say that Hoyer should have been pulled in favor of Kelly. But how about designing up some packages for Kelly for a series or in the red zone, 4th down etc.

Maybe even line him out wide and see if you can throw him a backward pass and he can find somebody open downfield?

Reich had to know that points were going to be hard to come by, so you gotta steal those points.

Nobody is even close to thinking he is even half that bad.

It is not so much a matter of "turning on a coach" but more a question of his flexibility in playcalling and ability to make in-game adjustments. If he is unable or unwilling to adjust, that is not a good thing for a head coach.

I feel like he HAS shown that he can adjust in-game, which makes the recent weeks of showing up with seemingly no Plan B when Plan A fails positively baffling and frustrating.

There is no doubt he’s babying some players and undervaluing these non divisional games. Could it be because of the bs Luck played thru maybe, but all I know is Brissett got paid a lot of money and nobody is 100% at this point. We win games because we don’t turn the ball over, hoyer was a waste of money and cost us the game and it was a disgrace idgaf who was at wr. You’re telling me Brissett all of a sudden looked “80%” on Saturday —-BULLSHIT. They thought the dolphins we’re gonna lay down and they fucked up treating every non division game like a goddam preseason game
