Reich needs to fucking go!!!
 

For starters his teams are complete shit to start the season, year in and year out. The NFL schedule makers threw us a giant fucking bone by scheduling us week 1 against a team that is clearly rebuilding and who hadn't added shit in to a team we had skull fucked to the tune of 62-3 in 2 games the year before. Yet through his complete shit show of team preparation and game planning we couldn't even beat them.

Even worse than that is that he showed today that he appears to not even know the fucking rules of the game. Through a complete miracle we find ourselves tied with them in OT, in their red zone, and only need a FG to win the game. Yet instead of taking a knee in the middle of the field to set up a chip shot FG for the win he decides to run an RPO bootleg that loses us 9 yards. Pure fucking incompetence :mad::mad::mad:.

So glad I'll be taking my family who's visiting to the zoo next week rather than watch this team shit the bed again at Jax under this worthless piece of shit of a coach.

Man that sad sack clock management at the very end, that dude is lost as a mofo out there. This HC gig is waaaaaaayyyyyy to big for him.

Yeah, no doubt. Reich is living proof that just b/c you're less incompetent that the person doesn't mean you're actually good at your job :rolleyes:

Yep, the job is a bit too big for Frank. His game decision-making is marginal at best. He was probably propped up by Siriani and Eberflus but they are gone now.

Reich didn’t drop the TDs

Didn’t commit the roughing the kicker in the fuckin end zone

Fumble snaps (I’ll give Matty a pass tho for his late game performance)

This one wasn’t on Reich

He was the one who was incapable of installing a gameplan to beat a team we had skull fuck the shit of twice last year who didn't add any talent of significance in the offseason. He was also the decision maker who decided to run an RPO bootleg instead of kick a FG from 33 yards, which in all likelihood cost us the win.

4th and goal and not taking the points is on Reich.

I’m ok going for it after a dropped TD but I’d rather just hand it to Taylor Hines made the wrong read there

That had no affect on the game I’d say the biggest plays were Ryan’s pick, fumble snap and the kickoffs the killed field position when we had all momentum

And Frank deciding not to kick the FG from inside their red zone in OT. Let's not forget that!

How did not have any god damn affect on the game? We take the chip shot and we win, it's as simple as that.

The final kick was a goddam chip shot

Certainly makeable, but 42 yards isn't a chip shot. 21 yards (4th down in question) and 33 yards (where Reich decided to run an RPO boot leg instead of kick it for the win) are though.

The RPO got them the game tying TD

Different circumstances. We needed a TD to tie the game in regulation. All we needed was a FG to win it in OT. If you can't understand that then I (or anyone else on here) can help you.

I fully understand the situation

Now I need you to understand the difference for a fg from 35 or 42 shouldn’t make that much of a difference for an NFL kicker it’s not like we went from 40 to 50 or something crazy

Run the RPO if it’s wide open great… get an easy first down and make it a “chip shot” if not throw it away or take a short loss who cares still a make able FG unless you have the leg strength of an 8th grader that shanks every clutch kick

Which is what we have in Blankenship. He can't be gone soon enough for me.

One day removed, and the biggest fault I have with Reich is not having these guys ready to go. WAY to sloppy for the first 3 quarters.

The play calling wasn’t really a concern for me, other than they can’t keep giving Taylor 31 carries or he won’t last the year. Reichs play calling tends to even out over time.

Jerry Hughes interception was a fluke. The dude had the game of his life.

For those wanting him fired, I’m sure Pagano is available. Probably Jim Caldwell too.

I think you're right about Taylor's total carries over a season.

But the play-calling was balanced. We just had the ball for 90 plays (really 88 after two fumbled snaps). The NFL average is like 60-65 plays.

We ran 38 times and passed 50 times. That's a 44/56 run-pass ratio.

That’s about where Reich wants it I believe.

I agree...yet that kick would have missed from 33 yards too. It was that bad.

And while I agree with your point that Reich did Blankenship no favors by moving a critical FG back, it was still moved back to a range that should be makeable for most NFL kickers. To top it off, this is a FG kicker who doesn't have much leg strength. The only way a FG kicker who has weak leg strength should be on a team is if that guy is absolute pure money inside of 45 yards. Like his percentage needs to be near 100%.

A day later after sleeping on it I'm not calling for Frank's head, but he's been the constant presence there. Changes have happened, but the Colts look the same. Jury will remain out I guess. Blankenship needs to go. He's a mediocre kicker at best and he's had several chances and just isn't good enough. Nothing personal, but just sign someone else. Other kickers are available. As for the rest, I just hope they can get things cleaned up and worked out. For God's sake, do something with the tight ends. Taylor and Pittman can't carry the entire offense for the whole season.
