- Oct 13 Stephen Holder (X) We've spent a lot of time addressing how the Colts aren't adapting well to the loss of Alec Pierce. The film of Sunday's game against the Steelers offers good examples of how Josh Downs, specifically, is affected. Look at how often he draws two defenders in his area (thread)

- At this point, it might be better for the #Titans to use the Colts game plan a few yrs ago with Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman and Carson Wentz. Just throw it up there and hope for a PI call.

Yds/att. one of those barometers for success. 7-7.5 yds/att. a great area to be in. Jones has had 10 starts with less than 5 yds/att. He's 1-9 after Sunday. Team can say what it wants, but it's been unable to replicate what Alec Pierce brings · Quoting Mike Chappell: Turnovers, lack of oomph in pass game issues w/Colts offense in 1st 4 gms:
*8 TOs - T-4th most since 2000. Most since very forgettable 2022 (9).
*Daniel Jones - 7 TOs, T-2nd most with Josh Allen. Drake Maye with 9.
*Jones 4.2 yds/att. vs Commanders - 4th-lowest in 86 starts.

- Oct 5 Mike Chappell (X) Sunday vs. Commanders, pass pro was too leaky imo. Combination of lack of time and lack of deep threats not ideal. · Quoting Mike Chappell: Yds/att. one of those barometers for success. 7-7.5 yds/att. a great area to be in.

The Colts will be without three of their top WRs today: Keenan Allen, Darius Slayton and Alec Pierce. Really no excuse for the #Commanders' secondary in this one.

- Oct 4 Stephen Holder (X) Colts are averaging 4.5 yards per play right now. That ranks *31st* in the NFL. The numbers will fluctuate after the afternoon games, but this at this time last year, Indy was No. 1 in the NFL at 6.5. This is an Alec Pierce tweet. · Quoting Stephen Holder: Colts are 2-2. Can't knock 2 straight wins. But objectively, they have a lot to deal with. Lost turnover battle 2 weeks in a row. Daniel Jones responsible for 5 turnovers and his 7 overall lead the NFL (pending today's games). Big plays are non-existent. This isn't sustainable.

- Oct 4 Mike Chappell (X) Colts MVP: Alec Pierce. Offense too restricted without him.
- Oct 4 John Keim (X) The Colts love the PA game; just not as effecive going downfield without Alec Pierce. Daniel Jones averaging just 4.4 yards per PA attempt. He's also not running as much, 7 for 17. But we've all seen enough from him over the years to know what he has done vs. Washington.
