I don’t understand what this offense is. You can’t just run 40 yard pass plays every down. Then the B penalties put them in 3rd and long. JT had over 5 a carry, run him. Help your young QB.

The end of the first half was horrible coaching, why put him in that situation. You have to manage him, he isnt a 6 year vet.

Steichen is weird. He seems, for whatever reason, to be just fine having 2 incompletions and 3rd and 10 and in a damn near impossible position to convert. But he seems to HATE the concept of running twice and having 3rd and 4 which is converted at a much more frequent rate because of how many options are available on the play sheet at that point.

The one thing we have all seen with JT- he is a trust the process back. He will have 6-8-10 straight runs for 1,2,3 yards, and then he will fucking house it. Then, he is a fucking monster just gobbling up 12-20 yarders after that.

Steichen just cannot seem to allow that pattern with JT for whatever the fuck the reason is.

Starting to think he is way too similar to Reich in that he wants have a lot of the attention focused on him, how inventive, how creative he is vs just doing the right things to win fucking games!

I made this last season just trying to be funny, but maybe it was more accurate than I thought, especially in the red zone, it's almost like Reich is still calling the plays!

I am sick of the Colts losing to the Texans and the Jaguars....it's like we are the Washington Generals for these teams, I keep waiting for Trevor Lawrence or CJ Stroud to run over to Steichen and hit him in the face with a whipped cream pie!

It's mind numbing watching all the people apologize for Richardson sucking. Y'all look for one little moment to say he is progressing. He was a freak crossing route screw up from being like 1-12 in the first half. He had a couple dropped passes that should have been caught, but he had a lot more absolute horrible QB play. He is a freak of nature athletically, but has no idea how to be a professional QB. He just doesn't get it, and he never will. The same knocks in he had in high school and college, they followed him to the pro's. They are never going to coach him up. He is a bust and I will guarantee I am right. We wasted a draft pick that could have been used on defense. This team is so poorly constructed.

This is probably the same ting that was being said o Bert Jones in '73 and '74. In '75 he was a division champ and in '76 the Offensive player of the year and the NFL MVP.

AR may well end up being a colossal bust but you can’t make that call yet. He has to be given time to try and figure it out.

Sadly I agree with you, I think Richardson is not going to be the player we all hoped he would be! Hopefully it comes together for him in the second half of the season and I have to eat a bucket of crow! This loss was devastating today, we went from having a share of first place to being eliminated from winning the division without a miracle!

I think Flacco could get us into the playoffs, but the Colts will give AR the starting job as long as he is healthy, hoping he suddenly becomes someone that to this point he hasn't been!

if Mitchell gets his feet down for the td, if goodson caught that dime to him we would probably be having a different conversation,

AR had some big mistakes this game, but that's not the first place I look to place blame
