Let's discuss Bryce Young's debut

[Carl Spackler]

I'd say easily the WRs were the worst, because I'm gonna pin most miscommunications on them, as was the case with Cam in 2011. The OL was fine and the pass rush was better than expected. The QB is a rookie who made some nice plays and a few bad ones, and the run defense was as bad as expected.

What surprised me more than anything, by FAR, was how often I was saying "What is Frank Reich thinking"

I gotta be honest, outside the run defense at times and obviously the pass catchers, the team looked pretty decent. 

QB was the worst, receivers were #2 and that run defense was a close third.

Two of my three concerns going into the season.  A short yardage back was my third concern and the failed 4th and short attempt proved that point.

That was such a fuging stupid play call. Either spread it out and go or go heavy and QB sneak. 

That was the dumbest play call of the game.

Easily my biggest gripe of the offseason was the lack of a power back. Hated that call by the coach and GM to ignore it, and we're gonna pay for it with a lot of 3rd and 1s that lead to failed 4th and 1s (because Reich hates kickers)

Really? Did you not watch Frank Reich at IND?

This plus the fact that Miles Sanders played really bad, and doesn't look like any kind of an upgrade over just rolling with Chuba and a replacement level backup.

I voiced hours ago the fact that what Colts fans said about him were coming true after one possession of regular season play.

If PJ Walker played like Bryce Young in his first game, you'd all want him benched and never see the field again.

Spent a lot of capital on a game manager and didn't give him any weapons. No running threats so just cover our mid receivers. Easy to game plan against

The king of overreacting and bad takes has returned 

[RJK]

What it looks like Is the NFL as a whole is still struggling with the loss of the 4th preseason game and the padded practice rules

Bryce sucked. Bench his ass.

You mean the fourth-year QB who had DJ Moore as his WR1, a defense that allowed 0 points and he threw two picks in the end zone?

Well. One's a Rookie and very young, no pun intended. PJ Walker was an Undrafted FA and a few years in the League when he made his first start. Plus, he has ZERO potential while Young has a ton. That comparison, like most do on here was trash.
