idk too many Indiana-based Purdue fans that aren’t colts fans. And if they are not, they are generally bears fans. They aren’t going to that game. Barely go to their own. it isn’t drew breesus coming to Lucas Oil…

I miss Bobby. He was a true middle linebacker. Zaire has had a good season, but I think Bobby was much better for the defense and for the future. Shaq is drama. He used the media to air his frustrations of playing time, when we could all see why he wasn’t out there on passing downs.

Merry Christmas to all Colts fans.

I understand. And I trust Ballard and Steichen to work well together on coaching decisions through evaluation and planning. I definitely think a change is in order.

I don’t see Grover being back next year. I think they go a different direction. You cannot get suspended for ped’s for a third of the season in a contract year. The run defense needs more than just Big Grove back. I honestly don’t see Kenny Moore back either. We may see big changes.

You are just limited in what you can switch to successfully overnight. It has to be a similar base defense with the personnel. To me, it’s similar to switching gm/hc. It may sound good in theory, until the next guy is worse…

…Steichen was Ballard’s call too. I think they have to work in unison with one another. No GM is not going to just let a head coach pick whoever and say “change the whole vision that we agreed to last year when you hired me.” Shane might really like Gus and think it’s the best way to win going forward. He could take more responsibility in his rookie year for the shortcomings of the team, instead of letting Bradley take the brunt of the blame. Offense and defense has to complement one another. They may want to get aggressive with personnel in the offseason and roll it back to see how a few big tweaks, and a healthy AR changes things. I feel like Irsay is going to put pressure on Ballard this offseason to get aggressive. And I think he will. Perhaps changing up some defensive coaching personnel and ideology will be part of it.

Everybody take a deep breath. in the words of Daniel the Tiger, “if you feel so sad and you wanna roar. Take a deep breath, and count to four.” in all seriousness, we still have opportunities left. Of the 3, this was the one to lay the giant turd that we left in Atlanta. have a merry Christmas and count your blessings.

hindsight is fun, but we should have traded Leonard and kept Okereke. I loved Bobby.

offense is very limited with Minshew as it is. You take away his crutch in Pittman, and what you see today is what you get.

I still stand by this.

A touchdown drive. A 3 and out. A touchdown drive. A turnover. Bleed the clock out.

im not sure we have overlooked anyone, because we aren’t good enough to. we’ve just outplayed our expectations to make this type of performance seem unacceptable. It happened two weeks ago. Minshew plays better at LOS. Hopefully we can win out at home and squeeze into the mix.

Heinke is squeezing the ball into some tight windows this drive. We have guys in position, just not finishing the plays

who is going to do it? I call strip sack by Dayo

yeah, that was apparent from the beginning of the season. Kyle Hamilton sacked him how many times in Baltimore?

Gardner with some nice plays. Hopefully gets some confidence

SOMEBODY MAKE A PLAy

If I didn’t know any better, I would think we were tanking. The effort and mental mistakes on the field right now do not resemble a team looking to push the playoffs.

Kenny Moore has whiffed twice now this drive

give it a rest. It’s every week with you.

With an offsides on a missed fieldgoal, and a dropped interception by Zaire, we have gifted 6 points, which is the difference in the game at halftime. Cannot make mistakes, and those are two of so many today. Gotta come out firing second half. Have to have some playmakers step up on both sides of the ball.

Gotta make that play Zaire. Got to

Just get into halftime and take a collective breath.
