Fans are calling for Gus Bradley's job after disastrous Colts-Packers first half

Gus Bradley could be out of a job this week, before the Colts even lost the game to the Packers.

In the first half, the Green Bay Packers absolutely dominated the Indianapolis Colts. The statistics are staggering; the Packers had 23 minutes of possession, compared to just six for the Colts. But the worst is seeing how badly the Colts defense is being pummeled on the run.

The Packers racked up an insane 237 yards in the first half alone. That's already more than the Texans got in the entire game last week. As Joel Erickson noted on X, the Packers' 164 yards rushing in the first quarter is the most for any team in a quarter since Denver in 2011.

With Jordan Love, the Packers starting quarterback, out, virtually everyone in the league knew the team would be focusing on a run-heavy game. Malik Willis is a young, inexperienced QB. The Colts run defense struggled enough in Week 1 for the focus to be on improving stopping the run - yet the Colts seem to be making the same mistakes, and more, against the Packers. Green Bay has been playing off the edges and outside, just like the Texans did in Week 1, and still, the Colts seem to have no clue what to do or how to keep Josh Jacobs and the run contained.

The emphasis today was going to be on the run. The Packers were not going to have an untested QB throwing a lot, but the Colts seem completely incapable and unprepared - and that's not the only problem. Even when he throws, Willis is managing to outsmart the defense. It's a miracle the Packers were only up 10 at the half.

And on the offense, things aren't much better. Richardson, the bright spot from last week's loss, has thrown an interception, and there have been multiple dropped balls from Colts receivers. The offense has been struggling to do anything, getting a measly 80 yards total in the first half.

Still, the larger problem in this game has been the defense, which has shown that the run remains their biggest problem. And that's led to vocal calls for defensive coordinator Gus Bradley to lose his job this week from fans on social media, who are furious at such a pitiful showing.

The Colts could still manage to work out a miracle and pull off a come-from-behind win... but Bradley should be feeling nervous, if fans have anything to say about this game.
