The Random Thought Thread

Why's everyone so hype about Reich? Didn't he just have terrible season after terrible season? Even with elite running backs and some decent skill position players?

He did pretty well in the past with the Eagles and Chargers.

Marcus Brady has been the Colts OC for a couple of years.

I don't think Reich is completely absolved of blame but he's paying the price for that FO's inability to find a competent QB since Luck left.

and no QB - that's partly his fault so he's not blameless but it's not like he's had good QB play since his time there
no surprise that the 1 year they made the playoffs was the year with Andrew Luck

Yeah I don't ignore that. It's just like he's been a HC for awhile and not been great in that role. Theres a huge component of that which is QB related for sure. So it's just kind hard to have any idea how he'd do coming back into an OC role with a QB like Lamar.

To be clear I'm not saying he's bad. It's just everyone is super excited and I personally have no idea.

also because he was OC for the eagles under a HC who was designing the offence and calling the plays...

to be clear im not suggesting reich should be a ravens coach, just that he's had some tough circumstances that might explain why he's highly thought of despite his lack of success

The colts literally did what most of the ravens fan base thinks the ravens should do, hire a former player as a head coach just because fuck it why not?

This is literally like us firing harbaugh and hiring yanda to replace him.

Their O line has pretty much disappeared, they are playing like crap but I think his downfall was ultimately bad QB choices and bad QB play. I'm not sure how much the choices are on him but he would have had a fair amount of input on selections.

Fuck them Colts though. May they never win another game.

Well hold on now- I heard Saturday coached high school. That speaks for itself.

what is it with the AFC South trying to hire former players and justify it with their high school experience lol

this is just the excuse the texans needed to hire McCown next go-round

 

[gtalk12]

I suppose the culprit is lack of quality QB play there, but I agree, he wouldn't be high on my list of replacements if we went that route.

Who would be on your list of replacements for Roman?

i think it would be more like replacing Harbs with Todd Heap given how recently yanda retired

 

[JO_75]

Oddsmakers really has Peyton Manning the favorite to become the next Head Coach of the Indianapolis Colts. Yes, you heard that right. Now if that happens, Brady is going to sign with a team who plays the Colts just so he can beat Peyton Manning, the Head Coach.

Bart Scott maybe. He's an analyst, isn't he?

I am so happy for all of us. No matter what happens tomorrow, these awful political commercials are ending for atleast two more years. Thank god

Our entire off-season conditioning is just throwing hay bales in Iowa

I'm visiting family in Cherry Hill, NJ for my granddad's 96th bday today. We stopped by one of his favorite places to eat, the Legacy Diner, in Audubon, NJ, birthplace of Joe Flacco.

maybe the best 1-to-1 is actually the other way and it'd be like getting Rex Ryan to come and play nose tackle for us
