@btownqb Highlights of THE game

Looked like the snap went pretty far back and everyone was trying to rush. They were on about the 1 inch line and I think the center and Allen both kinda hurried instead of trusting if they just ran the play they'd pickup a half yard.

Speaking of Peyton and Brady... How about the fact that Brady could make the playoffs at 9-8 or even 8-9, then host Daniel Jones, visit Kirk Cousins and then visit Geno Smith or Jalen Hurts. Don't get me wrong, Hurts and Geno are both having great years but in terms of Brady going through guys that have been there before.... woof.

Diggs also had a ridiculous catch. That was just a truly great football game. I only saw what was shown on RedZone, but whenever they re-air it this week I will likely watch it just because of how great it was.

Huge win for the Colts. If Saturday can/has even semi-fix our offensive line maybe we can go on a run. We are 4-3-1 in games Matt Ryan starts and should be at a minimum 5-3, if not 6-2 in those games.

Fife shouldn’t have messed it up then 🤷‍♂️

I wouldn’t want him. For as great as he is, he has won so little in his career.

My question still stands, why would the bench get shorter? Who would get cut? We have a 9 man rotation right now, that’s not going to change next Friday. The only guy you could cut is Geronimo and he is playing too well. There’s no way we are only play 4 guys the minutes at the 1-3 so Bates and Galloway definitely aren’t having their spot in the rotation taken away.

I'm just curious, why would the bench get shorter? Out of our 9-man rotation, which guy do you want to see get cut out of it?

I think we will win this by double digits. Xavier is a good team, but I’m not sure where you can point to them having an advantage over us.

Serious question - would he even play for us? Certainly not in the front court but perhaps some minutes at the 3? I like Jerome, but I think we've upgraded.

This link usually works for me.

That's honestly surprising. Intuitively to me, I would just not even pick up the ball until the referee picked it up and gave it to me.

Correct, if the ball was last touched by Stetson (I assume it was based on the context of that clip) then it was a blown call.

I mean yeah he threw the ball out of bounds so I'm not sure what else you'd call it, but it was still a genius play.

I think it's possible he can get there with the looks he is getting and being more comfortable in his role. I don't think it got mentioned much last year, and certainly not enough, but going from THE guy to a role player when you're playing in the same conference isn't always an easy transition. Miller was adjusting to a lot, he went from a guy that got a lot of volume to a guy we were asking to be really efficient with what he got, and I think he thought too much on offense a lot of the time. I think we are seeing early signs this year that he is just playing now and is comfortable in this role, and so far he looks like he may be great in it.

Was that not a common thing back then? You could realistically burn 8-10 seconds after a made bucket if the clock doesn't stop if you take your time getting the ball, then throw it high and long just before the 5 second count.

Falcons (-3) @ Panthers Seahawks vs Bucs (-2.5) In Germany Browns @ Dolphins (-3.5) Texans @ Giants (-6.5) Vikings @ Bills (-5.5) Don't blame me if this line swings crazy the other way Lions @ Bears (-2.5) Jaguars @ Chiefs (-9.5) Broncos @ Titans (-3) Saints (-2.5) @ Steelers Colts @ Raiders (-6) Cowboys (-5) @ Packers Cardinals @ Rams (-3) Chargers @ 49ers (-7) Commanders @ Eagles (-11)

Really need to work on the turnovers. 13 is just too many. I don't care who we played, this was the most complete game I've seen from IU in at least 6 years.

Yes, this works.

Genius

*cracks knuckles* you really want me to get into this again?

It can impact it both ways, that's just who X is. Mike Woodson is tasked with getting the most out of X, I don't think changing who he is does that. He needs to find ways to get him going early in games and he needs to get his confidence high. The way that a player like X may need to be coached could be drastically different than JHS. A good coach can handle more than one personality type.

I, too, wish we had a historically great shooter.

I think that's a great comp. Hali is a better shooter from deep, but a lot of similarity in the size, athleticism, IQ, and demeanor of those two.
