Despite having a respectable record with the Colts (41-35-1) with two playoff appearances and no legitimate franchise QB,  I'm starting to wonder if there's a pattern with Frank Reich teams not being ready to play at the start of the season. In 5 years, he has 4 losses and a tie.

2018 Week 1:   L to Bengals  

2019 Week 1:  Loss to Chargers

2020 Week 1: Loss to Jaguar

2021 Week 1:  Loss to Seahawks  

2022 Week 1: Tied with Texans

 

2023 Week 1?

 

 It seems to me his overall approach to camp is not that intense as well as his approach to preseason games.  Coincidence?

Week 1 is also the weirdest week in the NFL.  Bad teams fool people.  Good teams look bad.  It’s the one week I would never wager on. 

however, the overall starts have been slow.  

3-4-1

3-5

5-3

5-3

2-6 

Very Fox/Ron ish.  Gets it going on the backend most of his time.  Wasn’t afforded that opportunity in 22 though.

This was a big reason I was skeptical on him. That is very Rivera esque.

Not to mention not having his team ready for big games. Losing to a BAD Jaguars team and getting eliminated from the playoffs (all they had to do was win ONE of their last 2 games that year). Main reason he was fired.

Hopefully our "all-star" cast won't allow these slow starts to happen.

A Steve Wilks, AR, Foreman combo sounds so much better then a Reich, Young, Sanders combo

To be competitive in this league, your QB needs to be able to complete over 65% of his passes.

its true. I always my gambling bros to avoid week 1, but ...... they are degenerates

Most times theres 7 new coaching staff, each team has 35% new players, some players are not ready, etc etc.

I'm not going to dig all the way in, but that's not all that surprising.

New QB's, new system, etc....almost every single year.  I'd expect him to have some slow starts, especially with a rookie.

probably, and then factor in the schedule....it sort of sets up for a slow start for rookie QB, new team, etc.   

Before the bye 4 of the 6 are on the road.  4 of the 6 had winning record and all return their QBs.  The 2  are our divisional games but the standard divisional factor probably doesn't really apply there given the newness of the teams involved.

Seems there was another Panthers HC in the not too distant past that was known for slow/no starts. 

coincidence ?

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
