I still think the game he shadowed Nuk Hopkins was his worst. Horn just fell on one. Life happens. Not bad DB play. I think it it's a little over generous to give him both as pure trips/slips. They were brutal plays but he was largely solid outside of those 2 random plays. Nuk I think got in his head and he was just really bad that whole game.

Yes! Gonna be a tough game, Caps are on an 8-1-1 win streak. Need Buss Stop in the crease for sure.

We would actually have a defensive player better than Slavin. Only because he scores more. But damn he is good.

He must mean me smooth operator at handing the ball off.

I forgot about that. Worst game of Horn’s career by far. One of those felt like he was trying to sell the OPI too hard when he fell. Looking forward to redemption.

That seems like a bad gameplan IMO. Just run the RBs. Hope no one on D has a disaster game. Play for the turnovers. Bryce's downfield throwing doesn't really work as means to back the S off. Never really has. That's how his bad play happens IMO. Canales basically has to wait it out and find the looks Bryce might can take advantage of. Which is man coverage/single coverage and you don't roll that dice often. Crowded boxes are a risk/reward strategy. One mistake and your RB can make some really big plays.

Yep, all of thus. As the old saying goes winning cures everything. But they're not winning right now and I don't see that changing with Jones out now and who knows how much of next season he might miss, plus the whole contract situation and being down two 1st rounders. It might be about to get real messy in Indy.

You got the last part of the post wrong...

I’ve heard nothing but awesome things about her. And until the injuries, it seemed to be producing some good juju. It seems she’s well-liked and appreciated by fans and staff.

I think some of that, how many from 2023 still making plays thought.....ties into what the vision was. I mean, before Bryce Young took a week 1 snap, it was universally deemed the best place for any rookie QB to land. The reason of that was because on paper, it all made a lot of sense. A solid yet unspectacular HC. Surround the rookie with a stable of super safe vet JAGs that could all do what they were supposed to do for the young QB (safe vet JAGs don't have much of a career ahead of them). I think they tried to create a high floor, low ceiling start for Bryce to take off from.....and it just didn't work. On paper it made a lot of sense. Which most locally and nationally all thought too. I still think the fatal flaw, is Frank didn't want Bryce. And Bryce was never going to succeed being a Frank QB. And that's all Frank had in the bag.

Evidently he was banging his assistant something happened that made the assistant go to the university and lay it all put there, they fire him as a result, and then he basically went crazy probably anticipating his life completely unraveling. Wild. Chasing that strange will make some guys do some outlandish poo. Keep it between the lines fellas. Ain't worth it.

Sounds like a young man with more millions in the bank than he can spend who has had to go through some very long recoveries from injuries and just wondering if its worth going through it all again. Hard not to tell him to go and enjoy his life. His "kid have a cigar moment" just turned into "welcome to the machine."

Kannapolis is actually pretty cool now.

We need to be aggressive and hit big plays early to back the safeties up. Then run Rico and Chuba. I don’t expect another bad luck game from Horn either. If the team comes out determined I think we’ll win handily.

You haven't missed a thing my friend.

Damn, is it really that big of a disaster to lose to Ohio State? j/k

Never been frightened by a snack food before

I really think Bryce has been given so much time due to what they've put around him. In a vacuum, he hasn't been good enough. But I think we tend to be overly judgemental with him because he's our QB. Every fan base does it. You see every mistake, not just the highlights/lowlights. I've listened to Cowboys fans crap on Dak and Ravens fans crap on Lamar. How many WRs from Bryce's rookie season are still making plays today? Probably a few starting olinemen from that year are out of the league too. Hell even his HC is out of the NFL and his OC is a TE coach right now. How many WRs from last season, Bryce's second year (other than the rookies) are making plays in the NFL today? And now in his third year, he's been passing to rookies and second year players. And the only one that was highly touted was TMac. Heck Coker wasn't even drafted, and he's easily been the second best receiver on the team. And let's not even get started on how bad the defense has been. When a team is constantly playing from behind, and/or being ran off the field (time of possession), it greatly impacts the offense's chemistry and playcalling. Look at the young QBs that are playing well right now. All of those teams have great defenses. Houston, Denver, Patriots, Cleveland, even the Saints defense has been on a bit of a tear recently. I agree he needs to be more consistent. But to be fair, so does his supporting cast. He had some horrible fumbles early in the season. I beat him up over that just like everyone else. But we wouldn't have said that if it was Stafford. We would have rightly blamed it on the oline for allowing jail breaks when they weren't even outnumbered on blitzes, and to top it off he was throwing to a bunch of young receivers. He killed teams for blitzing him the end of last season. I don't think he forgot what to do. I think his receivers didn't know what to do. They were all young and new, other than XL, and DCs exploited that. The team is developing right now. And amazingly Bryce is playing better. Funny how that works. Let's just enjoy the ride and see where it takes us. Getting there is half the fun, and the team is actually ahead of schedule.

Never been to Kannapolis

Ehlers

well, the Colts are winning. Heck, they are surprising or were. My guess that has a lot to do w/ something not okay being totally okay for the moment. And the PR machine likely is running really hard for her at the moment. It's weird stuff. I mean, she was in the HC hip pocket working Rivers on the practice field. Really weird. I still would be willing to play the odds when things go south.....we find out there is more than one bonkers person in the Isray family tree.

I saw her on the sidelines with the headset on and thought, "Man, that's going to be a mess." Read an article about it, and by all accounts, she is well liked, and not meddling as much as trying to learn the business. They say she sits in team meeting and never speaks or disrupts, and when she talks to players it's strictly "how's the family" type stuff and not football related. Her with the headset is a bad optic, and who knows how she will act in the future, but so far, she seems way more stable than her old man.

We all thought the trade up to #1 overall was a historic haul. Wait till what Tepper decides to pay him lol.

Tepper got nothing on the old Colts owner or the new one. Not only is she in a full head set on the sidelines every game with the coaching staff. You got her at the practice w/ the HC working on Rivers lol. I don't know when it is going to happen but something crazy is going to go down in Indy sometime in the near future IMO. I mean, wait til the Colts hit a rough spot.

While we are winning. How will he be when we are 2-15?
