Yet you all believe the issue with the Colts offense is that it was Franks and not the cluster fuck of an OL coupled with a geriatric QB. Claim he had lost the team. Claim he couldn’t motivate them (although that’s a hell of an indictment on Ballard’s supposed culture focus). But claiming the offensive issues lie in the design instead of the OL and QB is fucking retarded.

And I’ll point out after the Raiders game the narrative was Saturday simplified the offense. It was discussed as how much smarter Saturday was than Reich. Now I’m seeing that’s not the case. It’s all back to being Reich - especially as the team is being called out for how simplistic its offense is.

I know jack shit about NFL level offensive schemes, but I wonder if defenses haven't figured out the Pederson/Reich/McVay schemes. These were all the rage these past 6-7 years, but all have gone down the toilet recently. Some of its injury (philly/rams) but some just seems to be a general ineffectiveness.
