IDK,
Jim's had some rough patches this year, Can't defend the plays against Jacksonville or New York either.
I used to think the Defensive Scheme in Indianapolis needed work but watching that game last night I just don't know.
I mean,for example, towards the end of the game when New York was just throwing it on those shit corners at will I started to see some things I hadn't before.
Indy's been bailing those corners for years now and I always believed it was for cushion but then I see them give the underneath to Holmes (which is nothing new) but let themselves get beat over the top by Edwards every other play (which is new). IDK whether to pin it on the fact we've had scabs in there at safety all year or the fact Jacob Lacy just got schooled by Edwards all day.
Indy will be better next year, can't wait until I see some of these guys come back healthy, because Indianapolis has a lot of weapons that they didn't get to use this year.Comment

Main reason I hate Caldwell is because Indy passed up an opportunity to shake things up and hire a defensive minded coach. instead hired a fucking QB coach. It doesn't help that he's redundant and also messes up game management constantly.
I hate this dude and everything he represents. Just complacency and trying to maintain the status quo, instead of looking to improve and evolve.
Obviously Indy has still had success but it's more due to having Manning than anything Caldwell added.
I know we're stuck with Caldwell, but Larry Coyer needs to go. Indy also shouldn't just write this season off as bad injury luck and actively try to improve both lines, the run game and defense.Comment

It's pathetic that I'm taking solace in the loss by thinking about how much closer to releasing Bob Sanders we are.Comment

The fact we had 4th and 5th stringers playing in the secondary was obviously a bigger reason for losing but you can't do anything about scrub players.
We know they sucked and they play like they suck
An NFL head coach can do something about calling awful timeouts that make zero senseComment

With 29 seconds left, the clock running and the Jets having the ball at the Colts’ 32-yard line, Indianapolis coach Jim Caldwell made a surprising decision: He called timeout.
The TV cameras caught the look on Peyton Manning's face on the sideline, and Manning was obviously thinking the same thing many of us were thinking: “What in the world is Caldwell doing?”
Caldwell was asked to explain after the game.
“I didn’t care. I was going to make sure that they couldn’t. Make them snap the ball. They were in field goal range,” Caldwell said. “We wanted to try to make them snap the ball as many times as they possibly could.”
Yes, the Jets were in field goal range: In range for what would have been a 50-yard field goal, which is no chip shot for Jets kicker Nick Folk, who went 5-for-11 on field goal attempts of 40 yards or longer this season. As it turned out, on the very next play after that timeout, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez hit Braylon Edwards on an 18-yard completion, and on the next play after that Folk kicked the game-winning 32-yard field goal as time expired.
Frankly, Caldwell’s explanation doesn’t make any sense because his decision doesn’t make any sense. Making the Jets snap the ball again just gave the Jets another opportunity to make the field goal easier, and that’s exactly what they did.
Caldwell should have known better, because he made the same mistake during the regular season at Jacksonville, using two timeouts during the Jaguars’ final drive and helping Jacksonville set up a game-winning field goal. Caldwell didn’t learn from that mistake, and the Jets benefited on Saturday night.
Solid explanation. I feel alot better nowComment
