The Hamilton, The Injuries and The Self-Inflicted Wounds

God its so awful in here. And it was so awful leaving the game. The number of times I heard we showed our true colors. We're a bad team. Lamar sucks blah blah it was crazy.

I fail to see how anyone is upset about anything other than our injuries. It took missing like 14 guys, 4 fumbles in redzone or own 20, Tucker to uncharacteristically miss, heinous missed ref calls etc for a starting Colts to team to eek out an OT win.

Like forget the game it's pretty irrelevant. Focus on you've sustained injuries to close to 30% of your starting roster. If we don't get healthy this season will just go down as another what could've been. Or we'll get healthy and it will probably be great.

Yeah I just chalk this up to a classic trap game. Coming off a big win on the road, home in bad weather against a backup qb while we have a shit ton of starters hurt.

Every season people forget what happens literally every season.

They didn't seem to trust the backs after the Drake fumble and Gus going down.

@BoredMarine13 I can't fault DeCosta for the RB situation. We picked up Mitchell with 3 healthy RBs at the time. That's 4 guys and if you're just drafting because you're scared of injuries you never going to have enough roster space for your team. I don't think people understand the amount of bad luck it takes to be in this position. It's week 3 and might need to look to bring in a rb 7. I don't share the same 1 injury makes a player injury prone sentiment some fans seem to.

Marcus Williams had missed a total of 7 games before coming here. Bateman was notoriously healthy in college. JK was fine. Gus had been fine with us prior. Marlon barely missed games until the pec. Oweh was playing what seemed like every snap. It just doesn't make sense.

Where we disagree is the “healthy” portion. JK wasn’t healthy. If you have starter that suffered a sever injury within the last 12 months you should have a plan in place. Not double down. It would have been nice to contingency plan even a little for the RB situation. Instead we’re back to the bargain bin and that already hurt us with Drake’s fumble. Option are limited so we may just need to ride it out or trade for a guy like Edward’s Helaire

But this still imo wasn't a trap game. I said it before the game. I expected them to play us tough. They're a really strong team in both trenches. That's the DNA of a good team.

Our RB core has not been healthy for years now. Since 2020 if I am not mistaken

This is true, they were able to shut our run down with Kenyan Drake and Melvin Gordon so… good for them. I didn’t like our conservative play calling at the end, but I understood it somewhat.
 
I am glad Harbs took ownership of the safety punt fiasco. Said without saying directly that he was too focused on the onside punt aspect and not enough about the rest of the possibilities.

That's my singular gripe with Monkens offense so far. He seems completely content to move slowly down the field. And to largely call conservatively. I feel like if he keeps what he's doing 80% and opens if up a bit more aggressively this offense would be perfect

I think he is doing it because of our injuries. I could be wrong

If it were anyone else, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt, but Tank rides Lamar so damn hard for everything because he replaced Joe.

Tank actually blocked me on here because I wouldn't crown every single Joe Flacco throw as a masterpiece and dared suggest he had faults.
