If we play SEATTLE I hope they don't go zone worrying about Wilson.

Carr is always better in Man than in Zone but this was a much better performance than we have seen since early in the season. He is definitely going to take a pay cut but I'm OK with bringing him back at a lower salary. If the team can add a pass rush and he only has to play man for a few seconds, he won't be exposed like he has been in some games this season. He seemed a lot more motivated today, he put more effort into his tackling as well.

Playing man is always more difficult. You can coach zone. Much harder the other way.

Carr has had a tough year. On the field and personal. That's not to excuse his play though. Its the NFL and you have to be able to rely on a guy you paid 50 million for.

I'm a fan of the guy. He's not what I was hoping we'd get here but i'm hoping the post season is what raises his play. Its happened before where guys elevate their play and go on a solid run.

I'm sure he has more haters than fans at this point but we all can agree that we need Carr to play up to his potential. He was solid today. I don't mind the aggressiveness even if it does end up resulting in a bad play. At this point you're playing for your spot in the NFL. Gotta leave it all out there now. You lose and your season is over. I'm rooting for him. I think he's up for the challenge and can handle it.

Yes, I still can't stand this guy sometimes, and unless he takes a pay cut, I still want him gone.

With all that bull out the way. The way dude played today, I hope he can just keep that up in the playoffs. I can live with it. He had a questionable PI, but overall he played like he wanted it. He keeps this up we make a huge run in the playoffs. Let's just pray the old Carr does not show up.

Our Pass Rush helped, yes, but usually a QB only need 2-3 seconds and Carr is already beat.

Thank God Claiborne is not here for this. We might not be even talking playoffs with dude. Our D has really improved since his injury. Penalty Wise on 3rd down at least.

I think Carr played very well. He was robbed of a INT and the refs gifted Indy their only TD which I don't think was fair. So I have no qualms with him in this game.

Our defense played like it was the last game of their lives. They all played well including Carr.

The death of his Mom really took a toll on him. They mentioned on the post game show how this is the first time they have seen him in the locker room smiling and having fun. Also mentioned how Carr said himself it was a tough time for him and it finally feels like he's having fun playing football again.

So it wasn't just some weird coincidence. Nice, hope he is back
