I'm really into working out and losing weight. I set my DVR to record the Biggest Loser and it started recording the Colts game! Hahaha.

Throw your DVR out of the window and watch BiggestvLosser live instead of Colts... It's way better to loose weight than. Cokts game only puts you under stress, and stress causes belly fat(proved, because of cortisol)

This team really is unbelieveable. I’m sure we will get better as the season goes on but they stink. Legitimately stink. It’s hilarious how we have 100 million in the oline and they can’t block anybody. Wrs stink but we already knew that. Defense is the same soft garbage we’ve come accustomed too. Pash rush? Lol. Cmon son

every week its the same issues   no pass rush  no pass protection and no wrs getting open .  i just dont know how anyone watches these games and says colts are loaded with talent .   dan dakich is right even grigsons roster would win games without luck .  with josh freeman we were blowing teams out and with matt hasslebeck winning games .

Curious... do you think play calling is good when early reads are mostly Hines, Granson, and Patmon. 

IMO, the WRs have been open. But felt the lions share was drawn up for short stuff. And why Patmon as an early read... 

And why not Parris on outside and slants... 

 

 

And another Hines... 

 

East, I would agree that Reich has more than his fair share of faults.  Your points are 100% valid, but as you know a HC will  only go so far as the talent on the roster.  To be clear, I am not sold on him at all as coach that can lead this team to a higher level.

 

However, I see this team having serious talent issues at critical positions that typically leverage wins and that to me is a Chris Ballard issue.

Deja but all over again. Really like Ballard’s talent evaluation, and hate his roster construction / cap management.  For A GM that has put so much emphasis on OL/DL as the team foundation - the play has been less than impressive in terms of generating a pass rush and protecting the QB - at least so far.

What??????? 

Sorry I meant to say how come Ballard hang on to Reich for this long if he was not his first option. Is Irsay forcing him to keep Reich? I mean after last year collapse it was obvious Reich and his team preparation and look at this year. If we compare 1st half of each of game this year we have total of 3 points.

Ballard and Reich can’t be defended anymore. It’s probably time to clean house and start over with a young QB. Looking like Ryan might be one and done like all the other QB.

matt ryan even in his prime was eli manning level of QB a franchise guy who is right outside the top ten .  i dont know why adding him at 37 the colts thought all the problems of last year would be fixed .   at least get him some wrs or something to help cant have him running for his life with no weapons

I feel sorry for him he came here thinking he’d have a Solid OL yet it’s looking like the Falcons OL he played with.

At least WA is losing 22-0 lol.....

 

Lawrence on track .... 120 Passer Rating.


You just new TL was going to turn the corner eventually. With that being said, the AFC has Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Burrow and Lawrence to contend with the next decade. We got Ryan. lol

If we get blown out. If I am Irsay, I fire Ballard right on the spot. 

Chris Ballard selling Irsay those wolf tickets. Smooth talker who can't get on the field results  Reich will be fired before Ballard. If Colts fail this season...Reich is gone and Ballard is on the hot seat.

no the ballard apologist will just turn on frank and protect their hero ballard ......    the team doesnt have the talent level many think they do moore is horrible buckner is no where to be found most of the games smith and kelly are duds . 

Its easier to change a coach at the end of the season than to change a roster.  Remember that.

That's the dagger! The thing Ballard professes and repeats over and over and over again that he values the most are among the most deficient areas of this team.

    • Ballard does have thick skin.  You just choose to not to see it that way.      Ballard is the face and voice of the franchise.  Irsay’s health does not make him an effective public face of the franchise.  Frank was OK, Steichen less so.   So Ballard does the lion share of teams PR.    And Ballard has always said he’d rather the fans be angry than be apathetic.  Shows they care.  Of course, you know this but choose not to acknowledge it because it undercuts your distorted view of CB.   I don’t know what CBs relationship is with Kevin Bowen who I like.   So let’s say it’s complicated.   But on balance I think Ballard has a good relationship with the local media.  I’d be surprised if he didn’t.  He is loved by national media.  He’s got a personality and a sense of humor.  I’m sorry you don’t care for it.    Of course you have yet to acknowledge that you and Moose literally said that Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy.   For a man in your profession, THAT is a whopper.  Why you thought that is a mystery?   By the way, hope you notice that at least twice I’ve now said you’re smarter than you show.  There’s a compliment in there somewhere if you let yourself see it.    But I think you’ve painted yourself into a corner.  You come across as someone who’d rather be right about Ballard being bad even if it means the Colts do poorly than be wrong and have the Colts do well.    The reason Irsay hasn’t fired Ballard for the teams record is because Irsay approved of what CB was doing in real time.   Believe what you want but Irsay has done the GM job himself so he knows how it goes.  And he has chosen to keep Ballard.  Unless you don’t like Irsay too, you might want to consider that.  Life is more fun being optimistic than negative.     Sorry this went so long.  
    • I think it’s backwards.  MPJ is definitely Reggie based on skill set and tendencies.  AD can become Marvin with his explosiveness.   Raimann - I think he’ll be Castonzo.  Ol reliable, underappreciated, majority won’t realize how good he was until he’s gone.   AD - if he becomes what we think he can, Ocho Cinco.  Cocky, competitive, but will perform his butt off and will dance every chance he gets lol   Jelani Woods - Jimmy Graham, fast for his size, walking mismatch.
    • speaking of which, I’m about to win some good money.  I bet that brown would be FMVP, the Celtics would win the series, and it last at least 4 games.  
    • more reason to believe that after the top 3 wide receivers, Latu was their guy.  To not accept an offer to move back ONLY 4 spots and gain a top 100 pick is hard to do.  Bet if the rams through in a second instead of a third we might’ve took it.   think about it, if you move back 4 spots you’d still have a shot at one of the two top corners or even Dallas turner.  And we said no thanks, we want Latu.
