Pagano is buttering them up. Hopefully it works and they're flat to start.

Our two biggest problems are we can't rush the passer and we can't run block, that's an even bigger problem than the poor pass protection. If we can at least run some, pass blocking becomes easier, makes it easier for our receivers to get open.
Can't run the ball because..... wait for it.... our OL sucks!

Stupid game plan, as usual. Overthinking and wanting to do what we really can't do. Use what you have and get it done. I thought the fake punt was brilliant and if caught would have changed this game. But dropped and here we are.

Obviously. The offensive line is a huge problem.

By the way, no one seems to have noticed thanks to the blowout, but Herron started the game and Richardson has hardly seen the field. Two carries for 1 yard.

Nicks probably just earned a 5 year contract from Grigson.

Pagano will use this as motivation for sure...7 unanswered points = building a monster.

At one time in the third qtr I think, we had 8 rushes for 2 yards. Overwhelming....

It's nine rushes for four yards total between Herron and Richardson today. We can blame Richardson as much as we like, and he deserves blame, but this offensive line can't run block and the coaches know it. That's why we throw so damn much.

Are you disappointed in this season? I am. The OL is a shambles with no depth. The Dline gets dominated against better competition. The coaching staff being outcoached in situations. The underwhelming Art Jones, Dqwell Jackson, Jerrell Freeman. A wasted 1st round pick for Richardson. Any thoughts? At least last year we didn't get constantly smashed against better competition.

I'm not going to be disappointed in any season where we make the playoffs. Also too soon to give up. That said, yes, we have to take major steps this off-season to get better. A better draft, some free agent acquisitions that pay off for a change. Pressure is on Grigson and he knows it. He knows Irsay won't be content to watch us get to the playoffs with a QB like Luck. Irsay, like us, has watched this for 15 plus years.

You hate to be disappointed when you win your division, That said, Our division really sucks. The bottom line is we as fans were sold on a fresh new approach, It quite frankly looks much like the same thing we saw during the Polian regime. We get pushed around by good teams on both sides of the ball and the formula is not conducive to having post season success.

We still have a shot at the third seed, so doubt he sits.

I truly am not trying to be a smart ass when I say this, Does it really matter what seed we are? No matter who we match up with at home it will be a tough game, If we happen to win, Going to Denver or going to New England is pretty much a coin toss as well in regard to which would be the tougher challenge.

I think they should sit Luck. Let him get settled down a bit. Doesn't matter 3 or 4 does it, really? I don't think so.

Not the way they are playing. Can't run or stop the run. I don't think they can beat any playoff team anyways. Having the game at home won't matter.

That play wasn't called from the sideline. The Colts were going to punt, but the up-back changed the play to the pass when the Cowboys aligned how they did (no one covering the gunner).

Yep, Pat changed the play when the guy left the gunner. Make that catch and I think its a different ball game.

I was just being sarcastic... we don't run the ball all year and our first 3 plays were on the ground. This set the tone for failure IMO along with all of the drops and stupid penalties. The fake punt should have worked, but nobody could catch the ball today, except for Nicks ironically.
