Lynn proofing Reich play calling? This is just flat out absurd. Complete non-sense.
Colts have the #1 pass D and #3 Rush D.
They Colts D leads the league #1 in interceptions.
The Colts D is #2 in passing TD allowed.
That might have a little to do with why a QB with 7TD and 6INT is 4-2.
And before you lie lie and lie again and say its because Reich and his play calling are limiting Rivers.
Reich gives Rivers the ability to change the play and audible to a pass. So Rivers has the freedom to pass.
And don't lie and say Reich always runs on 1st down or is too predictable because the situational football splits stats say otherwise.
Reich/Rivers are wisely trying to staying committed to run to keep defense honest so play action can work and Colt defense can rest.
Go Check the numbers and watch the games. You obviously have no issue making up something to fit your point even when the facts don't support it.
Anything to be exactly right and make others wrong. And say my post prove it. Your post prove you have an opinion and that is all.
Game 1 Rivers throws 46 attempts. Colts run 21 times - LOSS
Game 2 Rivers throws 25 attempts. Colts run 40 times - WIN
Game 3 Rivers throws 25 attempts. Colts run 31 times - WIN
Game 4 Rivers throws 29 attempts. Colts run 38 times - WIN
Game 5 Rivers throws 44 attempts. Colts run 15 times - LOSS
Even though TWO LOSSES were 46 & 44 attempt games. And the THREE WINS were 25, 25, 29 attempt games.
You correctly pointed out before Bengals game that they are losing because they are not passing enough?!!?!!
Game 6 Rivers throws 33 attempts. Colts run 18 times - WIN
Oh wait, you meant early they are running too much, right?
But, how do the 2020 Colts start drives? Run heavy?! Pass Heavy?! Balanced?!
The numbers for Colts 1st Three plays of each drive this year for games 1 through 5 prior to Bengals game.
Passes = 83
Runs = 60
So the fact is they have been throwing it more to start drives all year long.
23 more passes on 1st 3 plays of a drive in games 1-5. Doesnt even include Bengals game.
Huh? Could have sworn Crusher was right about being too run heavy early. Interesting?
Until Bengals game, All their wins were more run game and defense. When it was pass heavy with Rivers they lost. Imagine that.
Oh wait, you meant just 1st and 2nd down as running too much early, right?
Let see, the Colts stats show they actually call more pass plays on 1st and 2nd downs than they do runs. Weird?
And the Colts stats also shows they are more pass heavy on 1st & 2nd downs in 1st half of games all year long. 56% Pass to 44% Run.
So, again more passes early downs early in games. Could have sworn you were exactly right about too much running. Strange? The Stat don't support your take. Why is that?
Am I spinning things? I do not think so because these numbers are facts on situational football splits for the 2020 Colts.
You want to watch a team that goes run run on 1st and 2nd downs in 1st half of games. Patriots 40% Pass 60% Run.
Some here want Josh McDaniels. Beware, You will get even more run run than Lynn.
If you like the pass early on early downs, Would you prefer Washington Football team or Bengals. They both are pass heavy early in games on early downs.
Pass 60% and run 40% on 1st and 2nd downs in 1st half of games.
Wash, and Cincy team have a combine record of 2-9-1.
Simply passing more is not a fix in the game of football.
Sean McVay of the 2020 RAMS. He is a Xs and OS genius.
What does he do on 1st and 2nd downs in the 1st half of games.
So far it is Pass= 69 Runs = 78
What No?!! he is even more conservative than Reich. Imagine that.
Play calling is a bit overrated. Execution is what really matters.
But I will concede Crusher. You called it before the Bengals game. Its all Rivers credit for carrying that team in spite of Reich holding him back and the defense faltering.
You are exactly right and I'm wrong.
:tongue:
I think I’m entitled.
You can’t handle the TRUTH!.!.!
All hail Critty............:youaretheman:!.!.!.!
