OT: The Matt Ryan ERROR is over in Indy

[Rob0729]

At least they only wasted a third rounder on Ryan. Not as bad as the first and second rounder they wasted on Carson Wentz (although they got a second from Washington to trade Wentz there).

 

[The Boston Patriot]

and I was just re-watching SB51 where it was announced he was the league MVP that season. Father Time is a SOB and there is no escaping his grip.

 

[Joey007]

I am kinda glad they made that decision this week instead of next week. We’ll get to see what Sam Ehlinger looks like.

I actually would have preferred playing Ryan in a couple weeks after watching what we did to him last year. Ehlinger could be slippery.

I don't know about you guys but I enjoyed the Matt Ryan era
(Speaking of his time in ATL)

Brady stole his soul. He's dead and doesn't know

 

[catent]

Ryan's stat-line isn't that bad for the season.

68.4%, 2,008 yards, 9 TD, 9 INT, 84.7 rating

It's insane that people actually thought he was gonna be good this year.

From Luck’s retirement on, the Colts probably had the resources to acquire or draft virtually any of the current starting QBs of the league save Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, or Kyler Murray. I will never understand the endless string of retreads and not one attempt to acquire a young QB to build around.

The Jets and Bears may repeatedly fail to draft a good QB but at least they try.

Something to keep an eye on. Hopefully this change in qb means another win for us!!!!

Give credit where credit is due... Hightower devoured his soul with one hit...

 

[BadMoFo]

All these older QBs stinking up the league.

not sure their strategy is wrong, once you're not bad enough to have a shot at the top picks in the draft, that strategy seems reasonable, they kept taking shots at middle round QBs (just like BB) in Jacob Eason and Ehlinger.

I think they just went after the wrong guys. I was Ok with Philip Rivers and he put them in the playoffs but Wentz and Ryan, well...

Another thing, sometimes they hit a home run in the draft like Quenton Nelson, Shaq Leonard, Taylor, but what about all the other picks? They're roster seems very weak, that division is up for grabs for years and they don't make it.

Remember when the Eagles started off extremely hot in 2017, Carson Wentz was the starting QB and playing the best football of his life, and Reich was the OC. Foles finished the season only because Wentz was injured. Reich took the Colts HC job that offseason after McDaniels backed out. He basically thought he could fix what went wrong with Wentz afterwards because he got him to play so well in Philly. Some coaches do have that type of touch (Andy Reid and Mike Holmgrem always seemed to find QBs), Reich thought he could do the same. Oops.

gotta hope he (Sam) doesnt totally stink it up and make way for BD Nick. we dont want to face BDN

Guessing Ehlinger will get at least a few weeks so he will probably play vs Pats.

Yes, he'll definitely be playing against us. A new qb going against BB and our defense at home...I think I like our chances

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Ryan was a great QB, his time is clearly over now. That SB loss will haunt him forever.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Guessing Ehlinger will get at least a few weeks so he will probably play vs Pats.

“Sam to be the starter for the rest of the season” seems a pretty definite statement that unless he gets hurt, he will start agains the Pats.

And one game of tape for BB to use for game planning.

“WTH”??!! Didn’t the owner just call him a “Steely eyed missile-man” (whatever the heck that is) and compared his leadership skills to Peyton Manning, and this was just this past Saturday!! Gotta love that “Deflategate” curse - may it last forever on this wimpy little team…
