Good time for the Bye

[albany ed]

Colts are 8 and 2 and get a week off. I think it's a good time for it, they need to get a few things worked out.

1. More balance between run and pass. I think early on, teams didn't fear the Colts passing game, so it thrived. But now it's respected so there needs to be more balance. Currently, we've passed the ball almost twice as many times as we've run. And most of these passes have been down the field, with very few screens

2. The bye week also enables the pass D to get comfortable with Gardner and maybe even get Ward back.

3. The OL has got to get their shit together regarding picking up blitzes. Perhaps if there are more runs, they'll begin to dominate again.

I'm loving this team, but honestly, without the superman performances by JT, this team is .500 at best.

One man's opinion.
