They're just not in sync at all. Gabe Davis has been absolute garbage. He is so slow in and out of his breaks. Imagine if BTJ wasn’t already WR1 on this team. They would be even worse (which is hard to think about). The short yardage stuff is still the worst in the league.

This team doesn’t have an identity. The coaching staff isn’t sure what kind of offense they want to be and it all falls apart from there.

Maybe Indy sparks something with this team and coaching staff. Maybe they figure it out this week and finally start to look like a TEAM instead of random dudes who play pickup football on Sundays.

I think they have an "idea" of what they want their identity to be. We're looking at a lot of run first, heavy rotation there with a two back system. We're looking at a lot of under center formations with the "idea" of going deep for chunk plays off the play action. 

I think this was specifically two things this team had been missing over the last two years and they're trying like hell to get it off the ground and flying. This was something a lot of us fans, myself included, were [BLEEP] and moaning about. 

It takes time. It takes patience. As I felt and stated after the week one and week two losses. They were feeling it all out still. They're now peeling some of it back by going back to what worked in 2022 and 2023 and they're pivoting a bit.

Last weekend's game in Houston was a direct response to their challenges during week three, and they were two beautiful play calls from being executed away from hushing all of the doubt and giving everybody hope.

They're right THERE. RIGHT THERE. Good things are just around the corner folks. You just have to see it.
