Nothing like absolutely DOMINATING another team offensively only to have a defense that looked like someone who just challenged mike tyson to an amateur backyard fight in his prime. They looked so scared it was pitiful in the secondary. I was kind of surprised that we got almost ZERO pass rush too. Manning 101 is that you MUST get pressure with your front 3 or 4 in some fashion to make him force the ball. No different than playing marino.
I don't get it. IMO, that was a HORRIBLE call giving the ball to brown on a third down call only to settle for a field goal late in the 4th quarter. You have Ginn all day long on short routes and yet you RUN the ball? While the running game may have worked really well in the first half, the colts starting to figure it out and were stacking guys in there just for the run. Hindsight 20/20 though. Oh well...
Manning punked us big time with a no name (what was his name...) wideout and our defense looked like they were playing flag football while trying to tackle.
Going to be a long season guys as the competition doesn't get any easier especially a cream puff defense like the colts...
I guess the silver lining here (is there such a thing when you lose) is that we finally lined it up and ran the ball without a ton of madden plays. It worked but then again we are talking against the colts. We were 0-2 last year as well but then we didn't have nearly the strength of schedule last year either.
I guess we should be happy that we ran the ball and Long looked good and Ginn caught a few balls? The reality is that our secondary is just not good enough and it showed tonight. Too much young blood and they were scared and confused all game. While we still have a TON of football left to play, I am not getting my hopes up for a season similar to last year. Lets just hope we can grow as a team and get our guys a ton of reps and see them come together at some point. Maybe we will have a better showing defensively against SD. Going to be a tough task in that game too as they love to throw the ball and they don't just have 2 threats like the colts do.
