This game means nothing...

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

To me shows that Wilson has not done a good enough job recruiting the quarterback position because most good programs have one good qb is every class or every other class. Just look at the next two classes in Indiana where there is a top ranked QB in the country right here in Indy but they already committed to go out of state.

I guess he (Wilson) does share some of the blame but not sure I'd say he didn't recruit the position:
Tre Roberson
Sudfeld
Coffman
Kiel
Tommy Stevens
King
Ramsey

Half these guys were either here or lined up to be here and bailed.

We are no where near full strength, and that force our D to be on he field too much. We are still in the game, but even if we
Lose, it means nothing in the whole scheme of things.

All teams have injuries, but we just don't have good depth at several positions. Sadly that is on the staff for bad roster management. Some of it is unavoidable due to transfers, but still, we are thin in places we shouldn't be thin at. Then we reload the next year at those positions, only to be thin elsewhere. If Wilson ever is replaced, you can blame poor roster management as a real culprit that he never overcame. Many will blame his game management, and while he makes questionable decisions at times, so does every coach on the planet. Being thin at the skill positions has really cost us over his tenure and just something we haven't overcame.

Now, having said all that, we need to win 6 games. Somehow. We have to win 2 more to go. I don't care who it is. Just win 2 more out of 6 to go. You can say a lot of negative about Saturday's loss, and it's warranted, we didn't play well. But it's hard to win with poor QB and RB play. So we learn from it and fight again and try to heal up. It's all we can do at this point.

Good question. My simple answer is history. Devils in the details. Vbg

Actually the Colts have won two games in a row without Luck so maybe you should look for another example.

I'll stick by my example and see how it plays out. How about Seattle without Russell Wilson? Point is losing both starting QB and RB are huge for most teams--and us especially.
