Read my post below or actually above to smonroe... and it's not garbage, it's colts history. Wish my phone could jump ahead to lottery results sites instead.

Once in a while my phone for unknown reasons time travels to past colt threads. Lol

Not long.

Even on his face????

I don't know about his shirts but what little I've seen of him he looks like he's really put on some weight.

No, if he had a better snowboarding coach he would have enjoyed snowboarding more and left the NFL even earlier than he did.

Na, snowboarding & taking Linebackers head on.

Note: the following article was published before trading for Matty Ice. https://www.sportscasting.com/indianapolis-colts-on-brink-becoming-cheap-losers-confusing-offseason-decisions/

Your scnarios are for only for RIGHT NOW, I think most on here complaining/questioning Ballard's reluctance to spend are referring to his record of being thrifty for 6 seasons. Whether someone calls it being smart with your money or being cheap the reality is the same....and that's that this team is lacking in playmakers and has needs in the premium positions and the .500 record and zero division titles/ disappointing playoff appearances show it.

The logic is if you need some above average players, especially in positions of need and even more especially premium positions and some other team outbids you, you fail to elevate your team to the level of other teams and risk division titles and even wildcard spots.....and then you become average and irrelevant because of not spending a few million dollars here and there.

I heard something about that on JMV on YouTube. I didn't have much time to listen cause I took my granddaughter to Barrett- Jackson car show/auction here in palm beach. She bought(I paid lol) so much memorabilia and seen a new orange Corvette and wants it. She already knows how to shift & steer! Back to Ballard being frugal, I'll try and listen later.,..but it's nothing we didn't already know.

This season it might be third place?

Jimmy likes it....it's more money to buy guitars with. Lol He's the Boss, If he didn't, things would be different. Just like he didn't like Wentz and then Wentz became gone.

That thread is growing and growing and growing.....

Ok.....but I'm not getting any younger.....how much "delayed"?

Ballard won't overpay!!!

...but you see the game better at home in front of your Big Screen UHD TV and the commercials too without paying outrageous prices for snacks. Having fun with you too.

Well Ballard's Into year 6, isn't that considered "long game" ? Lol If Ballard would have addressed the needs previously on our lack of weapons WR & TE, the cupboard wouldn't be so bare now and the need as dire to fill now......same with LT, CB, and of course they still need a QB. Lots of Premium needs for a team that doesn't like to spend AND No 1st round pick.

Maybe that's why they got rid of Wentz??? Last year, with Wentz, the colts came way too close to making the playoffs.....plus trading him eliminated the need to pay that roster bonus.

Maybe the colts & the Football Gods agree with you...... Which would explain why THEY AREN'T adding those players.

Here's a pipe dream..... NY Mets owner Steve Cohen(Mets payroll is at $292million) buys the Colts and trades for Joe Burrow & WR Chase.

But that's assuming the Colts are trying to WIN NOW and that's not the impression their giving. And spending a lot of resources is not what Ballard & Colts do.

Reminds me of the pinned threads we had for complaints for Griggs and Pagano.

Why would the falcons give up Pitts??? They drafted him instead of getting a top QB prospect, so I'm thinking the will want to keep him.

It was irsay that wanted Wentz out, anyway that's my opinion. And yeah that's not good, that's Jerry Jones type of interference But at least Jerry's interference results in spending and acquiring Big Talent trying to win.... unlike irsay. As far as firing Reich & Ballard, will that matter much, especially in the long run??? Outside of the Polian/Manning era how good have the hires have been? That's where this franchise may be heading, to the two Decades prior to Peyton. With a slightly above mediocre season here and there( to sell more tickets to share a bit more revenue to the other 31 teams ). Hopefully things won't go that way and our immediate future is bright..... we'll see.
