The "official" UH OH its time to go to Jacksonville game day thread !!!

[ChaosTheory]

Hope Hines gets some carries on the motion sweep. Looked open a few times last weeks. Loosen up the box for Taylor as well.

Also keeping an eye out for Raimann rotating with Pryor. He got about a dozen snaps last week. Some of those were jumbo formation.

RIP Captain Tuttle.
I'm watching MASH before the game starts. Nervous today.

Yep, and it’s not like everyone wasn’t saying it. It’s been a question mark since the end of last season.

I am also a fan of Ballard and I know he believes in giving his young players a chance, but he signed a 37 year old quarterback. The guy needs all the help he can get.

There was money to do it. There were good players available. He just refused to do it and now he’d better be praying he was right.

If not, he’s gonna catch hell and rightfully so.

They elected to receive.

Interesting. I would rather defer, but whatever.

Great first pass. Wow, Hines in the slot could be something.

[nate505]

That was really bad by Ryan. Really bad. I thought he was a better QB than that.

At that point, 0-3-1 becomes very possible.

Fwiw, I think they lose today. I’d have more confidence if Pittman were playing but losing him is to much to overcome. And that is entirely on Ballard. There is NO reason that a veteran wide receiver wasn’t signed.

Agree!!!!! Wide receivers are so important in today's game. Ballard's apparent lack of understanding this is mind numbing. Who the fuck do the Colts have outside of Pittman? Tight End room isn't much to write home about either, at least not yet. Irsay has a shitload more patience than I do.

When did Ryan become retarded?

WTF Matty... not the smartest decision yo!

Some great run defense to start with.

Here's where we find out if the pass rush is good
