    Once again, a Colts season is torpedoed by a foolish gamble that was made on a certain position group (this year being the secondary) that is littered with young, untested, Day 2, Day 3 draft picks.  Color me skeptical, but I would caution those who think that Ballard will be aggressive in filling in the holes there are on this roster which are keeping the team from being elite.   

     

    I mean. Yes- but it wasn't Ballard gambling that left us in that situation. It was Isaiah Rodgers.

    He had drop as the announcers pointed out.  Yes Minshew could have made a better throw but Goodson could have caught that pass.  Also sorry not buying that when your season is literally on the line and you need a yard going with your backup QB to throw to a practice squad RB is the best call you can make.

     

    It was the call that was made. Minshew just needed to be average for one throw and couldn't pull it off. 

     

    Don't get the hate on Goodson. Dude would've had to be a contortionist to catch that pass.

    Yet the play call was to have Goodson in the game at all when you have your all world running back you just paid a tone of money too as an option or at least Moss.  So yes play calling was the problem.  Play calling also invovles the personal on the play.

     

    If Minshew puts that ball in front instead of three feet behind the receiver- it's a catch and first down. 

     

    That play isn't Goodson's fault. It's Minshews God awful passing.

    People want to focus on the penalties and the  loss. I focus on the plays before the penalties. Wide-open in the middle.  U could tell the Browns were targeting the corner. He sucks and he cannot cover. People want to focus on the penalty and not on the lack  of talent on this defence. Penalties or not, they cannot close out a game.  Win or lose going  forward, this D  needs to be retooled in terms of scheme, coaching and talent. Sure, blame the penalties but I am going to blame Ballard.

    This team needs to learn how to close games out that's a major problem

     

    Can't close out a game when the refs throw garbage flags. 

     

    Defense forced a fumble and recovered it with 30 seconds left on the clock. Flags flew over some nonsense call. 

     

    Can't beat the league.

    Collinsworth and Tirico were both saying that our roster is actually very talented (especially on the defensive side) despite our record.  Sounds like they were giving Ballard a pass.

     

    Most people understand that it doesn't really matter how good of a defense you have, when your over the hill QB turns the ball over at an astronomical rate, there's not much they can do. Collinsworth hit the nail on the head that we just haven't been getting the turnovers that we normally do. Doesn't help much that the refs take away two turnovers from us in the game, but oh well. Some of those 4 win teams won today, moving us up the draft board. 

     

    Then there are a lot of the posters here, who are either wanting to put the blame on Ballard or the roster, or play calling or whatever.

    Yeah our defense is the 1985 Bears , lmao clowns. Lets just crap on Matt Ryan. Par for the course. I am not defending Matt Ryan he played bad but damn you people kill my morale in here. 

     

    Lmao. Non Starter argument. 

     

    The defense can't stop short fields on 4 turnovers on 4 straight drives. When old Matty Ice hands the ball over. 

     

    Our defense has gotten screwed by the refs over and over. Two turnovers overturned by ref nonsense, and possibly the worst PI call ever.
