I honestly think this is a team that has given up on their QB. Similar to cleveland with Baker. It's great that we have a bunch of nice guys in the locker room and it's a nice brotherhood but they aren't blind. Anybody can tell you Carson Wentz isn't a starter in this league.

And you could see it with the body language from TY

Well that did it for me the game is off. Colts are cooked for this season. Worst part is that we probably will field pretty much the same team next year, what’s the excitement to look forward to in that ?

If our offense is the same and we haven't added even a single proven playmaker then unless we start 3-0 with Carson looking like 2017, I may put my colts fandom on temporary hold

I agree Reich has stunk this game. 

Poor script to start. Horrible adjustments. Should have pulled Fisher much earlier. Should have went hurry up early. 

I've never said Wentz is elite. He's a complimentary QB that can be very good with a good OL and the right playcalling and support.

He has none of that.

Would Rivers have won this game?

Are the other areas of this team in your opinion good enough to support Wentz as a complimentary QB?

 

Also, on an unrelated note, do you think the offense would have been better this year if Rivers returned?

Serious question.  If Irsay didn’t swoop in and hire Frank, would he be a Head Coach for another team in the NFL?  He was on no one’s short list.  I just think we’ve gotta change something up.  If we keep him, let someone else call plays.  Or get him a QB who can basically call his own plays (like Rodgers). 


No , he wouldn’t.

 

He was heavily criticised in San Diego. He is just not reliable.

We’ve seen Luck play behind a horrible O-line, no RB threat, and throwing to guys like Whalen, Rogers, Nicks, Avery, Brazil, Grant, etc. and he still was able to do what was necessary to win.

 

We’ve not seen anything from Wentz to indicate he is “the guy.”

 

Luck made plenty of bone headed plays. And our O was much much different for him.

ballard gets worshiped for no reason  .    colts have zero pass rush bad corners   no wrs  and a horrible left tackle .   ballards wentz trade will go down as being worse than the richardson trade for grigson . 

Ballard is way over rated. Team has not accomplished anything noteworthy under his stewardship. We barely have a winning record under him.  1 playoff win and 0 division titles in five years.

WENTZ DEFINITELY NOT THE ANSWER -RELEASE HIM

REICH IS NOT THE RIGHT HC FOR THIS TEAM - FIRE HIM

 

TOTAL EMBARASSING PERFORMANCE!!!!!!

 

Normally I find posts like this a bit hyperbolic, but I have to concede that you are right. Just four weeks ago I was walking out of LOS feeling on top of the world after beating the Pats, feeling like we could beat anyone. Now, I'm just miserable. What the hell do we do from here? I don't even know.

Yeah, we’re not gonna make the playoffs, and blah blah blah “we don’t deserve to” but we all know that’s nonsense. We know this team had the talent and ability to hang with and beat anybody. A ridiculous end to this season. Shockingly ridiculous. Uncalled for, even.

    • The kid chose not to slide to protect himself and was in a really awkward position when he did get a good NFL wallop. It’s absolutely brainless to do that after getting knocked out of games and the season.   Maybe he needs to sit on the bench for another season. Let him play  play play, what, for another game or two until the next stupid injury?  He still has a lot to learn and it looks like to me we are rushing an inexperienced kid into something he isn't quite prepared for.   AR seems humble, maybe a bit more humility regarding a possible Superman complex would serve him and the Colts very well long term.  What AR IS in years 4 and beyond is what Wise Colts fans should be concerned about. And yes, like me, many here are getting old enough we Want It Now! It's an unreasonable expectation for a kid that can't throw an out that isn't a mile high, and hasn't the sense of when and how to protect himself. 
    • I don’t listen to games anymore because I don’t work on Sundays anymore. But man sometimes listening to the game is better than watching it. Kinda miss Matt Taylor getting all pumped..  I-N-D-Y lol 
    • Absolutely zero chance a 40 year old Flacco starts unless Richardson is too hurt to go.  Top 5 pick, 22 year old QB who needs reps more than any player in the league vs a 40 year old that has zero chance of being in our plans beyond this year The people that want Flacco to start are way too short sighted of what the Colts are trying to accomplish here. They really don't care about this season if it means that by WEEK 17 they are sure Anthony is the guy and he has improved substantially.    What I don't think they anticipated is the fact that Anthony could be injury prone and has a low pain threshold.  I don't think he is the unluckiest QB to ever play.  But I do think he is one of the youngest.  Practically nobody on the planet (Even at 6'5 255) is mature enough to take  NFL physical punishment at the age of 21 years old IF AT ALL. Only time in the league will prove that.  I don't think he had any benefit in the offseason to prepare his body for this type of punishment- I think his offseason work was mainly to rehab his shoulder and his throwing mechanics.  Perhaps jacking AR up even more than he naturally is might be the play here?  Or the opposite- focus on pliability and durability ALA Brady in his late career. Either way, we will need to spend next offseason addressing this somehow to rule out weather or not its durability.  In the meantime, our QB is going to have to learn and learn quick to suck it up and grind through the bumps and bruises.  Given his career choice, he signed on for 15 year of it. Given his size, he should be able to handle it.  Given his game experience- it was an absolute coin flip weather he could handle it.
    • Never did I suggest that AR wasn’t the starter.  AR has looked got at times  but his type of play is hazardous to himself.  Till he stays on the field, Flacco is the guy. 
    • IMO, if AR is injured enough that he can't run effectively, he's just a pocket passer.  At this stage of his career, I believe Flacco is a better pocket passer than AR.  If he can run effectively then he should start, if he can't, Flacco should start.
