Frank Reich Still the Problem?

It’ll be interesting to see what they do but it’s painfully clear that SOMETHING has to be done. They can’t win with a line this bad.

you send kelly out of town.


keep nelson but make sure he isn't considered a voice or captain or anything like that. if he is still a problem, then fucking cut him. this team needs real leaders. they don't have any

fire mawae as well as strausser.

I agree on Kelly. I think he’s done, and he sure as hell isn’t worth what they’re paying him. Draft someone to compete with Pinter for the job.

I’m not as down on Nelson as some people are. I think he’s just pressing because of how bad the players around him are.

I think a hard look needs to be taken at Smith. He’s been really bad this season.

I don't know about Smith. It's not every week, but usually when I go back and watch the line on the 22 tape, Smith seems to be our second best OL behind Nelson. Both of them are having a down year, but if you think Nelson might be pressing because of the guy(s) next to him, the same might apply to Smith. And the two young guys are in there because Pryor and Pinter were terribly misvalued.

Kelly does seem to be in a different boat, though.

This offense is clearly flawed and its pretty hard for us to know exactly why.

Is it Reich's system and scheme that of course we still have to rely on?

Was it bad coaching from Reich/Brady to teach this system to the offensive unit?

Is it bad coaching of the offensive line?

Or is it some combo of regression of veteran o-line players and poor choices for replacements at RG and LT?

I don't see the all 22, so is it poor play from the receivers not getting open?

Is it bad coaching of the receivers?

Is it bad quarterback play?

Is it more likely some combination of any/all of the above?

Bad o-line and we are in QB hell, that's the main issues. Ryan's arm looks shot to me.

We lose by 1 point to what may be the best team in the NFL and the sky is falling.

You can't expect Saturday to fix everything in 10 days, that's just not realistic.

There are 2 things that really puzzle me though. I don't understand how the best O-Line lineup is not Braden Smith at RG and Dennis Kelly at RT.

Why is Nick Foles on this team as a 3rd string QB?

Last week we barely beat one of the worst teams in the NFL, and everybody was dancing on the proverbial graves of all of those who had slammed Irsay for hiring a head coach who had a grand total of 3 years of coaching high school football.

This week we barely lost to one of the best teams in the NFL, and those worthless Colts always find a way to break our hearts, they are a seriously flawed and incomplete team, and they can't fool us with a gimmick hire of a head coach with virtually no experience for the job.


In game threads, I expect those kind hyperbolic, reactionary outbursts ...... on the main board, I expect more objective and rational posts and threads.

When he can set his feet and throw, he is pretty good. Same for just about any QB, unless they have a canon for an arm. The O line is not giving any of the Qbs time. Ryan has the experience to read a D, and adjust. But if he cant step into a throw, it looks bad.

Not making excuses, did anyone believe, post covid, the line would be this fouled up? This group is struggling to play better than the Grigson O lines. I never thought I would type that

The fact that Ryan has somehow gone 4-4-1 with this offensive line is pretty damned impressive.

There's ZERO leaders in the whole team. It shows
