if we start 3-3 rather than 1-5, our season can be salvaged

Elite teams don't lose to Texans. At this point, I think they will lose to the Jags. Are people forgetting how they lost out last year? And this is how they respknd? U know I hear Ballard talk and he is noting but a salesman to me. Spouting the same old crap and the same results. 5 years in and he needs to go. This team lacks character and that is the one thing that Ballard cherishes in a player. I stand corrected and I am wrong bout Ballard. Not only cannot he not assess talent, but he is also a poor judge of character. Now the next GM can be saddled with an aging DT, LB, Nicole corner and guard who just got signed to a new contract.

this isn’t the NBA or NHL where you get 82 games.. one game is huge in the NFL.. it could mean a road game in the playoffs.. or like last year, no playoffs 

If it was week 12 I could understand that but lots of season left

i just dont like the make up of this team ballard put together .  you need a pass rush and to be able to air it out .  we dont have either so elite QBs will just pick us apart .   cant keep running it every play were like the 2011 vikings with peterson

He’s tried to fix the pass rush - drafting Paye and Dayo, trading for Ngonkue.

 

These moves have not yet borne any fruit.  We get no pressure on opposing QBs.

    • The Colts have been in Indy for 40 years.   And we have a lot more banners in the rafters than most teams. 
    • My observations.....   SS is imo not a very good coach right now.  Perhaps he can learn but I am not liking what I am seeing.  For one, his play calling is very very vanilla.  Pretty much Frank Reich 2.0.  He was supposed to be an offensive guru.  Innovative.  New.  I don't see anything from him that says that at all.  He does not play to AR's strengths and instead seems to want to make him into a drop back QB.   It wasn't until the 4th Q that he started to play to his strengths and you could see AR's confidence rise like the morning sun.  His entire demeanor changed.  He actually got excited.  And for heavens sakes....ese Taylor much much more.  Get him some swing and screen passes.  USE THE GUY.  He is the best player on the team by far and yet is used half as much as he should be.   And let me say this.  The play right before the 2 minute warning.  The kickoff? To me SS not telling the returners to run the ball no matter what just to get rid of the 2 minute warning?  A coach should be fired for that.  That is SO BASIC of an instruction to tell your kickoff team that I am sure it is something that would happen in pee wee football.  The fact that SS failed to do that throws up so many red flags imo and is exactly something that Frank Reich would do.   I don't think he is very quick in his feet and his ability to adapt is poor.  And for a QB guru?  AR seems to be regressing.  Not progressing.   AR imo will be fine.  More than fine.  He has all the ability in the world and I really have to wonder why there are so many anti AR fans on this board.  He has played all of what?  7 games?   Who do you guys want instead as qb?   Wentz?  Rivers?  He is young.  Very talented.  Very high ceiling.  I will take my chances with him.  I really wonder though why he is not progressing with his accuracy.  Throwing a ball to a WR is something he has been doing since he was a kid.  It is almost like fielding a ground ball in baseball or shooting a free throw.  It should be a very basic thing to complete a 5 yard swing pass.  If I thought he was overwhelmed mentally or just did not have the talent to throw I would say that.  But he normally makes good reads and does not seem at all flustered by NFL defenses.  But his ball just sails.  Again, for an NFL Qb guru, SS is really failing AR in this regard.    Chicago is not a very good team and the Colts would not have probably won against many other teams but a win is a win so it is what it is. 
    • It has nothing to do with how storied they are.   Because its actually harder to get tickets to thier teams games, so they make even more on them than people in Indianapolis do.    Its simply because they dont sell thier team out to make a few bucks, because they care more about it than people in Indianapolis. They would rather go to the game.  
    • I hope you are correct. I don't feel that way though. I hope I am wrong but 6 interceptions in 3 games? On pace for 34.....
    • This entire sub-thread has been about the fans.    If the packers up and moved next week to Duluth, would those fans have the same level of loyalty as the Green Bay fans? No.
