Around the NFL

I can't tell if the Colts defense is that good or if the Chargers Oline is that bad. Like most any NFL QB, he threw some beautiful passes when he had time. But he threw some bad ones last night. And yeah, I know, JA17 throws some bad ones. But Herbert lately has been kind of messy.

 

Something I never knew until last night; he's actually bigger than Allen, which never passed the eyeball test, but he's reportedly 6'6" and 236?? 

The Colts are built to run the ball/play defense.  When Leonard is in the lineup, they're easy Top 5 in the NFL because Buckner is probably the 2nd best IDL in the NFL, just behind Donald.  They're pretty worn out from being on the field so much because that offense is just so bad.

 

Herbert/Allen are roughly the same size-wise but if you ever watch Herbert actually run you can see he doesn't have JA17's wheels.  He's definitely got a huge arm and he's very accurate throwing the deep ball.  He's getting pretty beat up as this season goes on and they'd be wise to run the football a lot more.

Herbert seemed like he needed a touch more pocket awareness last night. He's only in year 3, so he'll get there.

It felt last night like Saturday put Foles out there to show ownership they have no quarterback and they have no Oline.

 

I actually felt bad for Foles.

Their receivers aren't very good either.  I like Pittman as a number 2-type guy but they have nothing else, really.

 

I also felt bad for Foles.

I'm actually sort of impressed that he's able to get off some of the balls he does because they have so many missed/whiffed blocks.  Last night they were pretty far down the charts with receivers, so that didn't help either.

Should've retired a Bill

Hopefully TJ will!

He'll be fine, he's already the 2nd best QB in the league.

Personally, I'm glad he decided not to become a Bill.

You know, I watched that whole game and for the life of me thought that the Bills won. The Bill's players actually walked off the field smiling. 

[Spartacus]

seems the Colts have found the QB best suited to tank the last 2 games to chase that QB for the 3rd time

 

1. Houston 2-12-1

2 Chicago  3-12

3. Denver (Seattle)  4-11

4.Arizona    4-11

5. Colts       4-10-1

Foles was terrible on Monday night against the Chargers. He completed less than 60% of his passes (17-29) for 143 yards. Foles threw no touchdown passes, led the team to just three points, tossed three interceptions and took seven sacks.

 

Despite that performance, Saturday announced Tuesday that he is sticking with Foles.

 

Not only that, but Saturday expects Foles to start both of the team’s remaining games.

I'm not seeing that line.  I think they realized how stupid it was, and took it out.

It’s been corrected.

I’d like to rewrite the above sentence. Saturday announced Tuesday he will follow the advice of a girl Friday, defy the opinions of Monday morning quarterbacks, by taking Foles on any given Sunday.

What a great player, and still productive.  Too bad the injuries limited him so much in the second half of his career.

Wild is an understatement
