Exactly. I wanted Stroud over AR. And I really don't like running QBs, but I will cheer for AR over every other QB every Sunday as long he is playing on the Colts. I hope he is a franchise QB and I absolutely see the potential. Let's hope the potential is realized. I am a little bummed by the Texans success so far, though.

From my perspective, many fans praise him; far more than the amount of fans that criticize him. Media praises him, Colts twitter influencers praise him, Colts reddit also praises him; if you criticize him, you'll usually get down voted. Of course he has his critics. I just feel they're the vocal minority. Also, some don't look at the results to assess the job of a GM but the process, which they tend to think he adheres to well and that it is a successful one. The praise usually comes in the form of how great of a drafter he is. And it's often repeated that he would immediately be hired by another team if he was fired.

I figured the Browns would beat the Texans quite handily, but this game is making me feel a heck of a lot better about how the Colts faired against the Texans.

I can't help but feel Ballard's charisma is his greatest asset; it gives him a huge leash with not only the media but the fans. Not to say he has little to no merit as a GM — he definitely does — but I have never seen a GM liked and praised so much after accomplishing just so little. This year my interest in the Colts was quite low compared to the last five seasons (even compared to last season, which was entertaining with all of the twists and turns, despite losing.) I actually forgot about watching the Raiders game; I have never just not at least turned a Colts game on. But hearing this guy talk about the Colts at the end of each season kind of makes me feel like everything is all good about the team and reels me back in no matter how I felt during the season. Charisma is such a super power.

I don't understand why this even needs to be explained to anyone or why there is any controversy surrounding the play. It was simply an execution problem.

The expectationa were to see how AR develops.

It sucks being a Colts fan lol

I mean he kept running up to that point might as well.

And it's tied!!!

Now that's what the heck I'm talking about!!!

blown coverage on the 2nd TD pass too.

"There's always next year!"

Defense made that TD way too easy for the Texans.

Unfortunately, it feels that way.

You're right.

Wow, that 3rd down play was bad.

They both suck for what they have done or have not done.

Great defensive stop.

Lol and understandably so.

I guess everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Wow....

That field goal felt kind of bad.

Had no clue Jerry Hughes was still playing and playing for the Texans.

I thought it was funny because your last game will be the Colts vs the TEXANS, and you're moving to Texas. That's all. It is fitting!

Out of all the places you're moving to Texas. Lol
