Oh where have you gone Jim Caldwell?

Things not getting any better for Gruden.

Stan Kroenke might end up with a horse's head in his bed for all of the crap that's going to come out in discovery thanks to the lawsuit from the city of St. Louis.

Also wonder how Carl Nassib feels about playing for a coach who is a homophobe.

ETA: I guess this isn't the Kroenke thing though it IS the kind of stuff that could come out from that in discovery.

Now here's a guy that's tough as nails in the game of football that simply knows his assignment and makes that happen.

Boom! Watch how he files his resignation papers from the NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE in an attempt to save face and to avoid further scrutiny.

I call that the Turkey Hole. It's the hole in between the allegations coming out and when you would get fired by the owner. You just RIFLE the resignation right in there, Sean.

That was solid of Vegas to let that story sit all weekend so that those of us who were paying attention could price it into our bets.

Now I wish I didn’t take the Broncos in survivor a few weeks ago; that’d be a lock for a very tough Week 6.

Wow...is there a group that Gruden didn't insult?

Can't wait for him to make his appearance on the Tucker Carlson White Supremacy hour.

I thought the Times article suggested that the emails were produced in a lawsuit. (I didn’t read it, of course.). That is always the likeliest scenario.

Well that was the most colts thing I’ve ever fucking seen. Frank Reich should be fired before midnight.

Colts kicker hurt. Xavier Rhodes left hurt. at one point you all were starting corners that I think were passersby on the street before the game. Not sure how that is on Reich - I thought you all had a helluva game plan from the jump. Ravens on an unreal heater combined with unreal luck in three of their four wins.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Tue Oct 12, 2021 6:13 am

If Frank Reich kept throwing at that Averill guy they'd have won 100-25.

Gunpowder · Post by **Gunpowder** » Tue Oct 12, 2021 6:24 am

Colts became the first team to ever rush for 100 yds, throw for 400 yards, convert 50% of their third downs, force a turnover inside the 5 during a game in which another head coach resigned and still lose.

Read this morning that he’s the third Lions coach since 2000 to start off 0-5 in his first five games.

May not have been on him but the 4th and 19 defense was up there with war atrocities.

I know they were banged up. Which is why it's on Reich. You run 3 straight times with 7 minutes left to try to burn clock, put your injured kicker out there and he gets blocked, and then you've got a corpse of a secondary that's gonna stop Lamar.

I just don't understand NFL teams that have their way for 50 fucking minutes and then say "well we've gotta play smart here. Run the clock down. Nothing over our heads. Etc." It's mind boggling. They kicked the shit out of them in every facet of the game and then decided after they were gassed and starting Blankenship at the nickel to put it on the defense to get another stop? It's a fucking joke. I'd have a lot more respect if Wentz would have thrown a pick 6 in the 4th than that uninspired up the gut 3 times against 11 in the box shit they pulled.

This is a fair take. I yield.

the third down run before the blocked field goal was ripe for a play-action shot into single coverage

The Browns put up 42 and then decided to try and run the clock out. The Chiefs a few weeks ago against the Ravens, fumbled. The Ravens are lucky not to be 1-4

I understand this frustration. There's a reason this team continues to allow teams back in games and it starts with Reich failing to see what is and isn't working.

We're beating the absolute shit out of New England on the ground and our main opponent is the clock...hey let's get Carson Wentz involved though. He can't throw every pass off a defender's chest.

Instead they decided to do that against Baltimore, who they were absolutely torching downfield. And harrassing defensively, so let's stop doing that and just drop into zones all 2nd half.

As an outsider (one who was on edibles as well), it looked like the game plan was a solid one.

Again, you'd know best considering that it's your team.

I will say something very controversial here - Carson Wentz is not good.

BSF21 · Post by **BSF21** » Mon Dec 20, 2021 9:30 am

So this was the first game I've attended live in like 7 years?

It was a blast. Indy's defense was absolutely suffocating. Then Reichball happens.

Carson is not a very good QB. Could have easily been 21 or 24-0 at half but Wentz overthrew either Pittman or Dulin down the sideline on a third down by...I'm gonna say 8 yards? I know people will throw out his stats and game management numbers but he just doesn't have that ability level to lead a GW drive or get you out of a jam for the most part. And we're just killing them and Reich decides to put the ball in his hands.

This team is REALLY good but they're helmed by 2 below average people at their positions and it's going to cost them.
