My theory on it: He’s trying to maximize his FA value and wants to leave Indy.
- His numbers are down - not really something he can recover from in the remainder of the season with the QB play - both TDs and Yds
- Andrew Luck was a big reason Ebron came to Indy in the first place. Blaming his subpar play in Detroit on Stafford (which is obviously not true). With the sudden retirement of Luck and Brissetts play this season, it’s clear he’s not going to get the opportunities (and perfectly thrown balls) he wants to be a marque splash TE.- Colts run the ball 4th most attempts in the NFL and are last in throws beyond 40 yds. See point above.
- He’s playing to “perceived” injuries to explain his poor numbers this year. Trying to limit the damaging exposure by saying he’s been playing hurt all season; hoping teams see the one handed TD and hurdling players versus the numerous drive stalling 3rd down drops
Ebron is definitely not coming back to Indy. He will probably get signed for too much money by a needy team and be out of the league in 2 to 4 years. Maybe goes to NYG...or the Patriots and becomes an All Pro. Would be the Colts Luck TBH.

Anyone else notice this? At the beginning of the season, he was waived to make room elsewhere and ended up making it back on the PS.
Not sure if it’s Jacobys knee and the uncertainty of a potential re injury, the fact that we have space on the active roster due to injuries / depth, or there is a thought that if he was waived he may not make it back to the PS - which would imply that he is a piece the Colts don’t want to lose considering our current and future QB situation.
I’m not saying that Kelly is the next QB1 nor am I saying his presence on 53 man roster is implying that down the road. Just an interesting note on the roster management decisions being made by our front office and the insights that can be garnered from them.-

Run game is not good enough to carry this team. Pass game can’t get it done.

Jeez enough with the almost picks
-
Our offense hitting on all cylinders.
-
Can’t pass block. Can’t make quick reads throwing the ball. But at least we didn’t turn the ball over. Awesome pick by Ya Sin on defense.

This game could really go either way. The Jags could look to pile it on a Colts team licking their wounds from some painful losses where there should have been Ws.
With Foles back, he could play lights out or struggle. So I think it comes down to how our offense rebounds without T.Y. in the line up - offense executes and I think we have a good shot. If they come out slow with 3 and outs - Frank calling predictable 1st down inside runs into walls and Jacoby checking down on 2nd and 3rd, then we probably lose this game honestly. I bet the game plan has us running the ball and I really don’t think we will find success in the running game tomorrow against a still stout Jags defensive front.
AV needs to have a rebound game as well. If he misses an extra point and a FG, I think we lose as well.
I really hope I’m wrong, but I think our struggles continue at home setting up a win out or out of the playoffs scenario to conclude the season. AV misses at least one XP.
24-19 Jags

Vinny did not lose us this game.
I’ve seen this statement a couple of times over the course of the season when AV has struggled. In the purest form of the definition of loss, I agree it’s a team sport. Hoyer certainly could’ve put up 50 against the dolphins and AV can miss all the PATs all game and it wouldn’t matter.
However 31 out of 32 teams in the NFL can count on their kicker to make a PAT or FG within 30 yds - that’s really just state of place kickers in the NFL. Yes, you miss one from time to time, however with the game on the line with Hoyer under center, you HAVE to make that Pat.
I hate to say it but if we have a AV from 3 years ago, were likely 7-2. Instead we continue to lose in close games because of our unreliable kicker. Unfortunately for us there’s no one better out there at this point I think the season, so we’re in for a bumpy ride through the end of the year.

Tough game to watch because of the poor play and officiating. Tough way to lose turning a sure 3 pts to the loss. Extremely poor kick
-
Finally. One call goes our way.
-
We completely deserve to lose.
-
Def not pass inference but no way we get it overturned. Bold move with 2 timeouts in a close game.
-
No way we make 2 plays in a row for the 2 pt with how this game is going

We are literally beating ourselves this game. The score should be 17-3 instead due to poor ST play and 2 boneheaded plays it is 16-13.
Cmon Colts. Hope they get ripped at the half and come out playing cleaner football.
-
Ryan Kelly out with a stinger. That’s not ideal
-
Jeez things were looking good until their 2nd possession. At least it’s tied

Simple:
UDFA, UDFA, UDFA, 6th rounder, 5th rounder.
Funchess and Ebron were cast offs from the teams that drafted them. Consistency maybe?
Campbell, a 3rd rounder, is a rookie.
I don’t disagree with your underlying point that we lack talent at WR, however draft position does not tell the whole story. Julian Edelman was a 7th round pick and I’d take him over most 2nd - 3rd rounders out there.

The a Broncos are trash on offense. Joe Flacco has the awareness of a potato
No, I’m pretty sure Joe Flacco is a potato. He moves, throws, and has the demeanor of a spud.

I’m a fan of Reichs play calling to date and in general the offensive game planning. Gobs of creativity which we haven’t seen in ages.
The exciting part is that he’s still working out the kinks. There were some calls that left me scratching my head in the Texans game. 4-1 toss run play early in the first half was too risky in that part of the field for me; tosses work great if you catch the defense by surprise and are able to run block well on the perimeter. On that down, the entire defense including corners were selling run there. My vote would've been an inside run behind Big Q or a play action pass if you’re going to go for it; call a boot leg (spider 2 y banana?) or a PA power o there.
And then the late 4th quarter drives that should’ve burned the clock but instead took little time away from an explosive Texans offense. I understand the desire to be aggressive with the Texans being effective in stopping the run all day up until that point, however there are just times to run the ball or call short, high-percentage pass plays to run the clock and force time outs.
Overall Reichs ability in play calling and tailoring game plans to attack opposing defenses weaknesses is refreshing and hoping this continues to trend upward as it has because if so we could be looking an exciting rest of the season.

We got pretty lucky on that drive but I’ll take it. 2 illegal formation penalties in a row on 2 good plays from the RB Corp of the Texans
-
Ramsey to the Rams for 2 1sts and a 4th round pick.
The Jags are a far cry from the team that played in the AFC Championship, however in general good news for the AFC South continuing to be ran by the Colts and Texans. Playing the Jags this year just got easier.

It’s nice to see him around the facility but definitely not coming back this year. Who knows with how he blindsided everyone with his retirement, he may just as well blindside everyone with his return at some point.
I won’t say I’ll hope for it but I have wishful optimism that we see him play in the NFL again. If not, life goes on and so does this Colts team.
-
Both games are on CBS, so clearly they believe Oakland vs Houston will be the more exciting match up. Makes sense Texans put up 50 last week and the raiders are on a winning streak beating the colts and bears. I’m planning to be at this game and was looking forward to the 4pm timing. Oh well

I’m eating mine! What a win

Chad Kelly Still on 53 Man Roster
in Colts Football
Posted
Agreed. Don’t think him being the 3rd string QB is a sign he’s playing this year. I would like to see him play in a few games if we were out of contention, but even then I bet we would roll with Jacoby.
