OUTCOACHED! Two in a row for Payton. Where is that wonderful, creative offensive mind? Has he lost it? He made Carl Smith look like a gambler tonight. Plain and simple, the Colts coaching staff adjusted at half time and picked our coverages apart. Our staff must have had tea and watched reruns of Blossom at halftime. What a pathetic, embarrassing display all around.

Re: Thoughts...
I dont think any of us jumped the gun, Im sorry but I expect more than 3 from our offense. It is not a good day when we have more points on the defensive side of the ball.

Re: Thoughts...
Simoneau is not very good. Maybe Simmons should get some reps b/c when I think of NFL Starting MLB... Simoneau just does not fit the bill....we need work on D.

Re: Thoughts...
absolutley embarrasing! im gonna have to eat some crow tomorrow. f
first off grant and hollis you got your money now make some plays. hollis you cant get into shape for 10 million then what will it take. grant for a guy who just got paid like a mad man go out and get at least one sack, take over a game or at least a series. roman harper when joseph addai scored on his run, why did you jump in front of him and lye down on the ground. square up and meet that man head on. sheesh butch up or get the hell out of here. jason david i wont judge you yet but seeing as you got burned by the guys who you should know better than yourself doesnt sit well. and be careful if you ever get benched for fred thomas youll never make it back into the league after that. so be warned o-line wheres the protection and poise you guys looked like it was trucks being driven across the line of scrimage and you were just caught in the headlights. reggie bush stop runnin around like a chicken with his head cut off, are you seriously gonna tell me joseph addai has more game than you. time to step it up and take over. receivers good job mare please call john carney back for us mark simoneau please tell brian simmons to get in there and spare you from what will be a long season aimed in your direction fujita or shanle i dont care which one of you it is but someone needs to play with a chip on their shoulder. we need a linebacker to hit someone in the mouth and scare defenses. so please do something about it. and coach payton while i have the upmost respect for you please dont let pride get in the way, run the damn ball you got deuce mccallister and you barely use him .come on. overall we looked like a t sandwich .hope next week doesnt look like a repeat |

I know Payton has said that he's smart and always in the right place, but I don't see it. When he does manage to get there, it's too late and he's not a force to end the play right then and there. |

Re: Thoughts...
Just a couple of my thoughts on the game:
1)The game reminded me a lot of the nfc championship game. When it rains it pours and once the colts got rolling, we couldn't stop them, just like in the nfc championship game. 2) Where were Simmons and Kaesviharn? Kaes was supposedly brought in because he's good against the pass. Well we looked like we could use some help in our pass defense tonight. And, as for Simmons, he should be starting by default considering how bad Simoneau played. 3) Real disappointed we didn't stretch the field at all tonight. Way too conservative with the play calling which is surprising from coach payton. 4) I have no idea why we abandoned the run game so early. 5) Jason David needs to get his act together. Really looked uncomfortable in our defensive scheme all night. 6) All that being said it is only 1 game and thank goodness we play in the nfc. We won't see another team the rest of the regular season that is half as good as the colts. Don't give up people, we still got 15 more games to go. I think this game will light a fire under this team and wake us up. |
