Same ol story, playing good and then the turnover gives the other team 6

and the team gets deflated, this team isn't talented enough to overcome that shit that's all there is to it. There is room for 0 errors with this depleated roster.

But whatever. . . nice to see Geathers back the defensive holding that took away his sack pissed me the fuck off

Turnover on one of the stupidest plays that could be called.... but I guess you think Brissett audibled to that play because it's all on the players right?

Exactly, Mack doesn't catch the ball well enough to call that pitch, especially that close to your own end zone. That is 100% on the dumb ass coaches.

6) where you at ty? holy shit does this dude disappear.

In another offense, that's designed to get the ball in TY's hands in all ways possible, he would disappear much less.

I'm not going to blame TY or Moncrief for Chud's terrible offense, the bad oline, or Brissett's inability to utilize them due to the previous two reasons.

I'm far less upset with Pagano/Chud for the toss call (Mack just needs to catch a basic fucking pitch, honestly) than I am at Pagano for punting the game away.

He always does this. He always thinks he has the 1985 Bears. He doesn't. He has an above-average defense that plays its ass off trying to carry the team but can't physically stay on the field for an entire quarter, as could few defenses in the league.

No to banning.....I really wish you all would stop engaging them though. I don't think they really believe the bullshit they spew, they just enjoy the attention they receive from you guys....if you ignore them that would be the most severe punishment you could meet out.

Re the game....I'm generally pissed off cause I wasted time going to that shit show since I was still in town for Thanksgiving, even though I knew what would happen. Since I went to the game I didn't get on the road back to New Jersey until 4..... now I'm stuck spending the night in Pittsburgh with a 6.5 hour drive ahead of me tomorrow instead of spending the night in my own bed.

While I was on the road I created my list of priorities for the Colts for the off season:

1. Fire chuck
2. Fire the rest of the staff (except maybe special teams coach)
3. Let Ballard hire his guy
4. Use free agency to shore up the oline. Use as much money as it takes. You can't rely on the draft for this. The college game these days doesn't immediately translate to good oline play in the pros and we don't have time to develop new talent in this area or to miss on talent assessment. This Has to be addressed in free agency.
5. Use the top several picks in the draft on pass Rush and interior line
6. Find another running back with the last draft pick or with the last few free agency dollars to share the load with Mack.

I see your point, despite that Kelly was a contributor from day 1 and it resulted in a marked improvement in the OL (nowhere to go but up, but still...)

OL is the very top priority. We should fix it through the draft and through FA until we have quality starters at every position and quality depth behind them. Everything else has to wait. The quality we have had at the QB position has covered up an OL that is 2-3 years behind in development. It's inexcusable, embarrassing, and obvious.
