Cannot win many more games without improving offensive output. O-line has to block better, but I take into consideration that they started a rookie at tackle, moved Smith into guard, lost Kelly and Hines early in the game. O-line play, more than any other unit on a team, has to be in cohesion. With a new center calling protections, a rookie from Germany with limited experience at tackle, running backs farther down the depth chart who probably weren't fully up to speed on their blocking responsibilities, and a quarterback still learning a new system, it doesn't surprise me how bad they looked last night. OTOH, they did run for over 100 yards, with that same patchwork line. Ryan has to play better. No doubt about it. Putting in comparison: Peyton was 2-3 his first 5 games with Denver Brady was 3-2 his first 5 games with Tampa Favre was 2-3 his first 5 games with Jets Quarterbacks take time to adjust to new systems. New terminology, new teammates, new everything. I was listening to Pat Kirwin yesterday on NFL Radio, and he referred back to Manning's first year with Denver. He interviewed their head coach at the time, John Fox. Fox said that their training camp was spent "learning Peyton's offense". Meaning they didn't expect him to come in and learn their new systems. The team learned what Peyton had done all the years with the Colts. Makes sense, and maybe more teams need to go that route. Not worried at all over the media backlash. They're paid to shill what sells. Bad news sells news. I agree it may take some time…but comparing Peyton to Ryan’s change is night and day. Ryan isn’t coming off one of a neck surgery that almost ended his career and can still feel his finger tips. Ryan made some horrible decisions that a veteran shouldn’t make. Actually Wilson’s season mirrors Peyton’s more. Both limited by their injuries and it’s clear they haven’t gotten enough work in their new systems. Ryan should get better if we can protect him but if not he doesn’t have mobility or arm strength to save himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Bears fans you are seeing in today's game why the Colts fans were happy that Eberfleus took the Bears job. His defense always gave up a high completion percentage and today Cousinsnis 16-16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) The Texans just managed to run 12 plays without crossing midfield. They're doing a far better job defensively on Lawrence than the Colts did. 14/23 with a pick. It seemed like every play the Jags ran against the Colts was a completed pass.

IU Scott Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) The Chargers coach is a complete idiot but got so lucky. Up two with around 2 min to go and a 4th and 1 at mid field and he went for it and didn't get it. Luckily for him the Browns missed a FG Edited October 9, 2022 by IU Scott 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWatShot Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 Analytics alert: seeing some bizarrely timed 2 point conversion attempts today. The Falcons went for 2 and got it to pull within 21-15 of the Bucs. The Seahawks scored to make it 31-25 and went for 2 but failed. Guarantee those coaches had stat geeks telling them to do that.

It is just a different game. All sports have evolved over the years. We have the same discussions in basketball and baseball. Several coaches of this type ha e also been very very successful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
