It's not all Gabbert's fault but it felt like when Henne got in at 3rd quarter, he seemed (as well as the offense) to have played better.
Would love to hear your thoughts on that.
Henne isn't that good. He's a back up, that's what he is. They were playing 5-8 yards off the WRs a lot of the time towards the back end of that game. It made for easy garbage yards. Colts were letting them run down the clock knowing they had a nice lead. Gabbert is only 23 years old. He's got to play. You've got to see what he can do for the rest of this season. I personally think he should get another season, as well as the GM (he could get fired after this season). They need more talent, plain and simple. CB, LB, OL, WR. They need a burner at WR.
They did the same stupid crap they've did all season long. Dumb penalties, bad throws, dropped passes, missed tackles, fumbles. Everybody just flat out keep making mistakes and keep shooting themselves in the foot. I did like that they came out throwing though. They must continue to do that. Keep playing up tempo with the receivers spread. Couple mistakes by us and a bogus call or two by the officials really hurt us. Colts just took advantage and rolled.
On another note about the lack of the Running game lately. Everybody who doesn't know anything about this team, think not having MJD is the reason there isn't much of a running game. However, that's not true. Not having our FB Greg Jones is the reason for the lack of the running game. He is the guy who has paved the way for MJD the whole time. Jennings is more then capable at running with this Offense. But not having Greg Jones these past 2 games have really hurt.
I made this post a few days ago and it hit on a couple things tonight lmao

Gabbert is at his best when he is in the Shot Gun and they spread out the field with 3-4 WRs. When they play some up tempo and he's able to dictate the Defense. He can read the Defense and check into run plays when they're there. Hes did it in the past.
They need to stop with this Run 1st, Run 2nd, long 3rd down pass and Run 1st, Short pass 2nd, 3rd down pass game plan they start every game with. They need to throw it more on 1st down. Come right out of the gates throwing it. They need to stop with so much of this up close in the box crap. They bunch up the WRs right next to the OL and make it easier for the Defense to defend.
If they come out on Thursday, another home game in which we've been blown out this year by a total of 132-34 at home, or something real close to those numbers. If they come out and lay another stinker with the same exact crap we've seen for 8 games now. I might just lose it. It's time to develop these young guys. No more playing not to lose, no mistakes, non aggressive football. All it's gotten us is losses and way too many mistakes football. The whole team is making the same mistakes that they've been making all year long.
A top pick is nice, so if we lose I'm not all that bummed. It's just I'm tired of seeing the same exact predictable thing, over and over. Let the Offense go ffs.
