If i was a season ticket holder i would be livid,this is unacceptable.

A bad season out of the past decade is unacceptable? Kinda harsh don't you think. I mean really look at what season tickets holders in Cincy, Detroit, Carolina, Buffalo, SF, Jax, Houston and others have had to put up with over the same last decade....

Do you ever post anything different or do you just post the same contradictory crap all the time?

Show me in the history of this league where a head coach has survived a 1-15 or 0-16 season!

I believe we have already debunked that statement which you keep putting up there. and by the way, with the exception of Buffalo, all those teams have problems selling tickets during their very down years..

Well there was John McKay in TB

Also how many of those coaches that went 1-15 or 0-16 also had a SB appearance adn 2 divisional titles the previous season?

Well given how bad some of them have been, shouldn't the season ticket holders be almost nothing? I mean look at Cincy, a losing franchise for how long and when they moved into their new stadium they had to pay a seat licence besides the cost of the season tix, yet fans bought them. I mean the very high cost of what NFL season tix cost, why would any fan of a team like those I listed be able to sell hardly any...and yet they do. Why? Because of hope....and with the Colts, there is the hope and knowledge via it's past history they will rebound and be better next year and the following year and so on.

U keep posting the same stuff we get it Caldwell isn't the problem he's the solution. Polian will build us a dynasty and Irsay can tweet all he wants.

I don't know if Caldwell is the answer or not, I just know given how Polian and Irsay run a franchise, that Caldwell won't be gone after this season. Is that the right call? I don't know, what I do know is that I trust Polian's decision making process on running a NFL team over anyone here on this forum.

What does Caldwell bring to the table at this point? A calming presence on a winless team?

Im sure the players are finally used to Tony not being around anymore so why not go a different direction? Because obviously Caldwell isn't Dungy 2.0.

I fully supported Caldwell up until about week 3 this season. At that point, it started to become very apparent that he and his staff (Metz and possibly Christensen withstanding) are not capable of putting the players in a position to win. We have holes on the D, but there is no reason, except for coaching, that we aren't at least 3-4. If he doesn't go, then Irsay has been completely brainwashed by Polians and it's not going to get much better over the course of the next few years. Last time we were this bad, Irsay cleaned house.

I don't see how anyone outside of the organization could say that JC deserves to keep his job. Of course BP is going to say he's doing a great job; he's too savvy to trash him in the media. Unless or until JC gets the axe we won't really know what he thinks.

That's not throwing them under the bus at all. Regarding Chris, he was speaking the truth. Chris is the GM. Regarding Dungy, he was complimenting Brayton.

I think that he is subtly trying to show that he made good decisions and Chris is the one who is now making poor decisions.

Now that is funny, a NFL executive with the track record that Polian has and you actually believe he does not get it?

I hope that's sugar free Kool Aid you're chugging, or you're going to give yourself diabetes.

This notion that just because he's an NFL GM that makes him untouchable is nonsense. My doctor knows more than I do about medicine and how to treat the human body. But if he gives me medication for the flu and my arm falls off I think at that point I'm qualified to point out that the medication is not doing what it's supposed to be doing, and that perhaps it's time to see another doctor.

One caller to the Polian show called and asked "if you feel the players are giving their best effort and still coming up short, don't you think it means that you don't have the right players in there playing and does that not fall back on you"?

Polian started off saying "Like Caldwell said yesterday, all of us have to bear responsibility in this, and I am not going to shirk it (those were Polian's words). He wishes Nevis was playing but said it would be a while before Nevis will be back on the field. He does feel that the defensive tackle and cornerback position depth is definitely a concern. "

My take: I am glad he took responsibility but then, did it take him this long to figure out that DT depth and CB depth was an issue?

i wish i would have seen this before i jump in. this guy is a plant. there is no chance anyone that has ever watched football would be this supportive, if they were not on someones payroll.I do not want to call out any poster, at least i am what i am good or bad but, some just like to be spoons and blindly stir the pot.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By ADnum1 · Posted

      I compared AR to Mike Vick recently but didn't get alot of reaction.   AR may never fix his accuracy issues like Vick who struggled with short and intermediate accuracy his entire career.    But Vick was a dynamic runner and could hit the deep bombs with just a flick of the wrist.   Vick resurrected a very sad Falcons franchise and I was a huge fan.   If AR became Vick 2.0 would Colts fans be happy ? I would be

      Seems like this team gets a lot of untimely injuries that come out of nowhere. Smith and Kelly, Lewis injuries just appeared out of nowhere. None of those injuries were even mentioned after the Bears game.

      Yep. He must of woke up Thursday with it. I assume Pinter will play center if he can’t go. That tackle slot is worrisome if smith can’t go. The defense is looking ridiculously banged up.

      By Boondoggle · Posted

      QB is hard.  It's easy to sit back and expect guys to look like Marino but every QB has a different ceiling and a different path to that ceiling.  And again getting there is a long and tough road and the toughness in that road includes everything from injuries to quality of the team around them.   Richardson still looks like the guy we saw on tape in college.  He is an elite run threat who can put the ball anywhere on the field, but his consistency in ball placement is not good.  I used to believe that can't be fixed.  Until Josh Allen.  Now these types of QBs are guys teams will take a flyer on, because of supply and demand, and the immense impact if you can hit on one of them.  But here we are and he's still the same QB, which is a bit of a concern to me at this point.   It's not like he doesn't still have time to get his game in order.  He does.  And even if he fails in Indy he'll have another chance with another team due to his talent level.  So it's still too early to get all crazy about where he's at.   For myself I'll say what I keep saying about him: he needs to learn to move the offense from the protection of the pocket.  That is how you have a long career and end up in the Hall with a million passing yards.  If he does not develop that part of his game the end result will be his teams will use his legs to move the offense and he'll get hurt and miss time and demonstrate why RBs have such a short shelf life.  So his career is in his hands.  He has to learn and do it or he'll suffer the results.
