If people would quit expecting he’s the next Aaron Donald they’d see he’s doing fine.

You watch.

Brissett is an excellent backup. They are solid onD and have a really good O line. I predict they still win the division. Although all my friends here in Indy are in a state of shock right now.

Young QBs have ups and downs. When will people understand this? It’s only been the case for 100 years now.

He threw it to the spot. But honest to God, is this going to be the year we’re going to have? Every single pass the kid throws dissected as if it’s definitive proof of his value as a QB? Not one guy who has ever played the position could stand up to that kind of analysis.

Trent Green played QB in the league and said it’s the kind of play where the QB throws to a spot. Listen to him.

Good. You line up across from Oliver first.

Maybe you should read and listen then.

They won last night

When they say they want to do X, and then they do X, I tend to believe them. As far as Josh, I said at the time when he threw that pick he cannot make that throw, that he'll get screamed at by the coaches and rightfully so. But then it comes down to three throws. The one to Zay where he went back shoulder and the one to Beasley in the flat. Both of those appeared to be timing routes; he and Zay didn't have the timing right (and it was pretty well covered) and the one to Beasley there was a high snap which may have thrown the timing off. The one to Brown was a good throw, low where Brown could make a play but the DB made a good move on the ball. I'm not saying you're one of these guys, but since I'm writing here I have to ask whether this is what we're going to see on the board all year. are we going to dissect every single pass the young second year QB throws as if an individual pass is going to define his career. Of the work he did last night, only the almost pick was a horrendous decision and throw. Which he admitted during the in game interview and that he cannot make that throw. All the other ones, except maybe the one in the flat to Beasley, were on target throws, and the one to Beasley may have been but was not the right timing. So for those despairing of this entire accuracy thing, I saw no evidence of that yesterday; I think he in limited throws put them where he wanted. Plus he directed a nice two minute drill. The kid has a ways to go, but I don't think we need to harp on every single throw or thing he does. Let's look at the totality of his play. And that of the offense. And from what I saw last night, our running game may be resurrected from last season.

They wanted to focus on the running game last night in a preseason game, and they did what they wanted to do. What they ran last night is not in any way indicative of what they plan to do in the regular season, same as the last couple weeks when they focused on the passing game and didn't run much at all. They said they wanted to get Shady and Gore work last night; they did what they said they'd do.

Achilles tear

Why are you making false claims?

What did he drop? Nothing? How many interference penalties? None.

Yeah catching passes is a bad thing

Nice two min drill

It is preseason

Don’t think so. Brown had to clear coming across.

They wanted to work on the run game. Chill.

It was a good throw by Allen. Low where Brown could get it. DB made a good play

This could be very bad

Way too many mistakes

The out was a timing play. Got thrown off by the high snap

Nice pick by the Lions on the TD pass

He’s going to be a star
