Defense is short a few pieces yet. We thought they were closer than they really are.
Back down to earth a bit there. 

When teams go to the quick release passes that make it tough for the pass rush to get home, we don't have enough coverage talent in the secondary to stop the pass.

The offense has its sputtering of bad execution here and there, but they put up enough points to win today.
Protection was very bad at times from the line. Not sure how that's going to play out down the stretch, but it's certainly not  making Trevor's sophomore development any easier.

Happy to see Pederson embrace the run game a bit more today. We'll need that moving forward if the protection doesn't improve, which is doubtful.

A few weird play calls I didn't like, but he called a good game on the whole.

What was your thoughts on this? Ryan was in the shotgun basically all game and seemed to be quite deep even for shotgun. I saw somewhere on twitter hid average release time was 2.4 seconds which no pass rush will get hone in. It seemed weird how much the secondary and LB's were struggling with the short, quick passes and they had the same plays open all day. Do you think that was a player or coaching issue as we never seemed to adjust or be able to stop it and like you said in the gameday thread just dink and dunking down the field.

Right. 

This is what I'm talking about. 

Indy taking that approach allowed Ryan to stay clean moist of the game and find weak spots in our shallow coverage. 

I need to rewatch to be specific about coverage used and manipulated, but Caldwell switched between man and zone and Indy had plays ready for both. 
They found mismatches on LBs, they totally exposed Griffin, they had pick plays to free up crossers, they had a bevy of quick hit stuff and executed.

It's ironically the same way we picked them apart in the first matchup.
