A colts loss. That was bad. That Pittman drop at the end might not of mattered but it made me think of this thread.

A "#1" in my book does not come up small when it matters. He was catching that near midfield with a chance to get into Wash territory with a TO left......that's not coming through when it matters. He made some good plays at other times in his defense but those are THE moments.

I told my Colts friends they wouldn't be good... They felt otherwise.. wasted money in the wrong area... They needed an OLine and WRs. Instead got Matt Ryan.

I thought Ehlinger looked OK but I didn't see anything that makes me think he has a much higher ceiling. Time to tank, then semi tank again to get Harrison Jr to pair with our new young QB that we draft in '23. Reich needs to a) give up play calling rest of year and b) get fired at season's end. Ballard should go as well. I think he's done pretty decent in draft but he also overpaid an OL that is absolutely terrible and has failed to get the most important position settled. Just frustrating watching this team.

Same. He was fine. 

 

I kind of want to watch more Hendon Hooker. Their offense is pretty vertically based. Lots of people talking about this being his "Burrow" year. I really really want to avoid Levis. Dude just screams Daniel Jones game manager to me.

You ok with his age? Be 26 come playoffs next year. I personally am fine with it if the rebuild is quick, like 2 years, but if not then idk.

Sam and JT's fumbles were worse to me. We were in field goal range on both. Don't need that Pittman catch if they don't fumble

[rcbowla 7,055]

Who we good with trading? I've got Gilmore, Moore, R. Kelly, Taylor, Hines, Campbell, Leonard and of course M. Ryan.

Can IUFB get Tennesee's OC to be HC? Would love to watch that type of offense at IU. If we're going to suck I'd rather score some points. Wilson years were at least fun for a bit

That’s Heupel’s offense.

I'm sure Heupel's been kind enough to share a few things out of his green notebook? Just of the belief it's a bit easier to attract talent around the ball when you can score some points like when Wilson was here. Not the only reason of course, but Wilson put far more OL into the NFL than Allen has

Wouldn’t be fired up about handing the keys to another career position coach that just recently became a coordinator tbh.

Know this isn't the thread, but isn't that honestly the type of candidate that IU has to look for? They either have to look for flameouts (Rhule, Kingsberry?) or the hottest up-and-coming coordinator, wouldn't you think?

Edit: Just hearing Herbstreit talk about how different Tennessee is with how wide they stretch the field is what made me envious, really nothing more. Ultimately takes a strong armed QB to pull that off, which would probably hold IU back from pulling that off if I'm honest with myself

Richardson is intriguing. The lack of elite results are concerning though

Those two fumbles were brutal.  The defense wilted when we were up 9 too.  Plenty of blame to go around.

Ehlinger was....good?  I don't think that's the word but he wasn't bad.

[KingPG21 6,583]

I know we have one day left. But I hope we sell hard. We need more draft capital. I don't think we've had more tban normal draft capital since the Nelson pick year. Certainly not extra high draft picks. For a guy who builds through the draft like Ballard does its weird that we have lacked high end draft capital the last few years
