Green Lightning

4-3. Back to a drought era good but not good enough team.

The team is broken. McD and Dorsey have lost them. We missed the window. 13 seconds was our year and the coaches lost it, and are not good enough to bring it back. I was sure Josh would bring us a championship but that looks years away now. Many teams are flat-out better than we are. Maybe a new OC, HC or a new GM will value on OLine in the future, and value real receivers past Diggs. Next year no Poyer or Hyde. Diggs past 30, Dawkins is on the decline and Morse is finished. Still no elite weapons past Diggs. Secondary is a mess and can't stop FN Mac Jones. Beane's volume vs value mindset has failed. I believe it may be time to move on while Josh is in his prime.

Mac Jones, 25 of 30. Defense was awful only surpassed by a clueless offense thar relies only on Super Josh.

This team is a hot mess.

14 pts versus a 1-5 team doesn't suggest successful counters. I see a offense that is structured for continual 3rd and longs.

While I don't buy into all the OP's assumptions, I have to agree that DC's have our number and Dorsey seems flummoxed to figure out a new attack. Let's see what the Pats dark lord dials up today and how Dorsey responds.

Other teams have receivers other than their #1 that actually get open. We do not. We force Josh to throw pinpoint lasers to covered guys repeatedly. If you're happy with our current weapons, maybe you should reexamine what it means to be bonkers.

Offer all of our other receivers, Elam and some picks. We will never beat elite teams with just Diggs and a collection of #3s.4s & 5 receivers.

Ouch, that sucks for Indy. Surprising with that OLine.

Ahead of #1's on bad teams with bad QB's is a pretty low bar. Simms is saying to be elite, we need better weapons for Josh. How many times are we going to see Josh dancing around, being chased because nobody is open. We haven't had a real complement to Diggs since Beasley. Davis ain't getting it done. He's a downfield guy who cannot get rapid separation. It used to be elite defenses could shut us down, now even the Giants can do it. Simms is spot on. We need better receivers.

Well, let's see if the O can find its ass with both hands this week. If they play like they have the past two weeks it's a bad trend.

With a QB and receiver rich draft, I want our 1st rounder next year. With all the QB hungry teams, a great receiver is likely to be available to us. We need 1a receiver to complement and eventually replace Diggs.

No.

Well, is he wrong?

Wish Beasley was 5 years younger.

Looks a bit like Tre did last year. Going to take him some time to find his burst and trust his knee.

Get open, give your QB an option, catch the ball, don't fumble.

He continually puts us in 3rd and long. That's crap scheming. Banging into the middle of the line with telegraphed runs is not scheming.

When the D made the stop on the 4th and 8 with minutes left, everyone I was with was saying endgame. I knew otherwise. I said the Bills would do two telegraphed runs for no yards and Eff up 3rd down and that the game is just as likely to end as a 16-14 L than a 16-9 win. That's because this team and this OC is incapable of closing out tight games. They continually let the other team back in. Really Dorsey, you can scheme up one damn first down to end that debacle of a game? The G-Men with no OL and a B/U QB took the ball some 60 yards to our 1 yard line in a little over a minute with smart play calls. Really, I am tired of Dorsey. He is not the guy to take us to the SB. We are losing yet another year of Josh's prime.

100% A true slot receiver who gets separation quickly is what is needed. Despite the OP's request not to do this, Dorsey is clueless. His offense is basically get us into 3rd and long and hope Josh bails him out.

It would have been offsetting. Waller had his mitt in the defenders face.

No kidding. And spare me the jet lag, the Jags had no such issue. The play calling on the last drive, with just minutes to close the game out, was beyond pathetic. Daboll took a car wreck of an OLine with a b/u QB and pushed us to the 1 with a second left. This offense cannot close a game out. Dorsey has a top tier QB in his prime and seems clueless.

Pathetic offense is hampering this team.

I like the idea. Easy access w/o digging through threads.

We played 50 minutes of miserable lame offense. That wasn't luck. That was bad coaching, bad decisions and terrible execution. A jet lagged team that resorted to repeated uncharacteristic penalties to keep up. Our depleted and exhausted D got zero help from the offense with a OC who apparently thought a few more shotgun draw plays to Cook would do the trick.
