Gus Bradley needs fired and shouldn't be allowed to fly home with the team.

Lawrence coming into this  game

53% completion percentage 187 ypg

Today 

28/34 378 yards 

Before today the most yards he had was 220.

Last two years the Colts defense was ranked in the bottom 5 in the league and was last in yards per game. No way he should have been brought back but he was. This year the defense is once again at the bottom of the league and can't stop the passing game. His defense routinely gives up around 70% completion percentage and is there again this year.  Everybody I have heard talking about his s defense states it is to vanilla and easy to move the ball against it. He sits back in the zone and rush 4 and it allows to many easy throws

They were to conservative on the 3 plays before their FG attempt. Why didn't they throw at least once there to get closer than a 50 yard FG

These are the facts of Bradley's time with the Colts. You have to go back to 2019 for the last time Bradley had a defense that was in the teens since then:

2020 with Chargers: ranked 23rd

2021 (with raiders) defense ranked 26th

2022 defense ranked 30th

2023 defense ranked 28th

2024 isn't showing any difference, when you are consistent bottom of the league defense that's a coaching problem.

 

Seems like his scheme was figured out and the times have passed him by

It's absolutely insane.  Lamar gifted them the game by fumbling and the Bengals run three straight up the middle when Chase had 1 on 1 coverage on the outside?  It wasn't like they were at the 10 yard line.  It was going to be a 50 yard kick!  Absolutely ridiculous.

And, the defensive coordinator should have been fired several games ago.

Listening to our local sports talk this morning and they gave some more damning stats about this defense.

Week 1 Mixon with the most yardage he has had since 2021

Week 2 Jacobs the most yards he has had since 2022

The last 3 weeks all 3 QB's has had their career high in yards.

Trevor Lawrence's 3 best completion percentages in his career has come against the Colts defense ran by  Bradley

I guess the Colts found their first scapegoat from Bradley's ineptness. CB Dallas Flowers was waived today after getting torched yesterday. This is just another case of how bad Ballard's roster management is. He kept defending himself for not signing any DB's in the off season because he loved his young guys.

Flowers and undrafted free agent who was coming of an Achilles injury 

Brents coming off missing 8 games with 7 different injuries and is now hurt again.

Blackman who also was coming over FF missing the last few games with injuries and hav missed a lot of games due injury throughout his career

Jones a 7th rounder last year who is a descent player but just read where he ranks 68 out of 75 CB's.

Cross is playing alright this year but hadn't done anything his first two years.

Also in the last two years he drafted 3 CB's that never even made the roster their rookie year.

There’s a lot of competition. Bills and Texans were tied 20-20 with 32 seconds left. Bills were backed up on own 3 yard line with no timeouts. Three incomplete passes. Punted to Houston, who won with a 59 yard FG
