And...shredded by Joe Flacco

Deserves its own thread.

The same Joe Flacco from 2008. 2008!

What is going on.

Embarrassing

Haha... ya, that was sad... I kept waiting for Troy to show up and get a Pick 6.... but then that would have needed Harisson to be pressuring Flacco... sadly both were absent today.

 

3-1 on the season. We stunk early and almost pulled off the comeback. Take a breath. It’ll be alright.

 

Yes and Mikey said they were not prepared for such talent to enter the game. Laughable.

Snarky Mike was back in the post game today. Hope he sleeps well tonight. His D will be all over the "high" lights.

 

Any qb will shred a defense from a clean pocket...... it was a different story when we actually got after him

 

Fair point.

The question is why was his pocket clean?

The refs?

The script?

Lousy prep?

Holds?

TJ usually overpowers the hold. Today he was a step slow on multiple plays that I recorded.
It looked odd.

And on two early plays, he was actually running away from the play?

Also, watch the first completion of the game. Our guys were literally trying NOT to make a play on that.

 

You left off the colts very good offensive line or was that intentional?

 

I think Colts fans have to be asking why is Richardson starting with Flacco sitting on the bench.

 

Some of these guys must drink the whole game.

 

that’s not quite what he said. WHO would you rather face? A qb that’s averaging an int every 12 attempts or a 12 year Super Bowl winning qb

 

When 97 grabbed Flucco with both arms and was about to get a sack, I thought it was Hampton or Keisel or Hoke or Aaron Smith, but alas it was Hayward.

A couple of plays later, the refs called Troy... err... I mean, 39 for a bogus hit on a useless WR, and a TD ensued.

 

You might be right but we are being mauled by injuries.

 

I wasn't surprised at all. I knew the outcome before the game. I have insider info.

 

I dont think our gameplan was too good vs. Flacco. We let him get in rhythm early on with some easy stuff with off coverage. Somehow we consistently allowed a rookie ILB to be matched up on their slot WR.... just a rough go of the gameplan there imo

 

They had to say the same last year.

 

I caught a video of them reading the script on yt

 

This 100%
No matter how old Flacco is ....he's way better than Richardson at this point.
Not even mentioning that every hour of game tape watched on the keys to Richardson.... things He likes to do, and what to do when he does them.....went right out the window early in the 1st quarter.

 

Last year I was chalking up the Colts game as a win but then Richardson got hurt and Gardner Minshew tore the Steelers a new butthole. This year I wasn't worried when the Colts went up 7-0 because Richardson always puts the ball on the ground a couple of times and will routinely throw at least a couple of picks. But then damn he got hurt again and Flacco came in and absolutely threaded our defense. Two years in a row Richardson not playing cost the Steelers a win.

 

Flacco is no scrub and he showed it again. A QB that can read a defense quickly delivering a timely, accurate ball is important.

I saw he was the QB after Richardson went down and was not all that relieved. He cut us up a bit. It does help to have a dynamic RB like Taylor in your backfield.

 

Yea, but it was Joe Fricking Flacco……..again.

 

A 39 year old Fricking Flacco!

 

I watched every play live and he had all
the time in the world to throw the ball. No pressure whatsoever.

 

alltime record against steelers counting today is 11-11 averages 169 yards a game 1 td and 0.5 int. That being said he did eat them up today on 3rd down with no pressure and wide open WR

 

They need to start blitzing on 3rd down. Too many times this year already the other team has converted third and long. We have two corners that should be able to play.man well, so send the dogs! The Bishop blitz was great, need more of that.
