[James]

Sorry, only BAD from this part of the world: 

 

One of the most embarrassing results in the history of this franchise given the context. 

 

First important piece of context:

The Jags are now 6-30 in their last 36 games. 4 of those wins have been against the Colts. Jags are a perennial bottom tier team drafting where you don’t want to draft almost every year.

 

Second important piece of context:

We’re suppose to have this “great” team with Pro Bowlers and All Pros, but the players don’t play to that level at all and the coaches aren’t maximising the talent they do have.

 

This is not acceptable. Enough is enough.

 

Irsay needs to act fast. This never should have been allowed to go on, but Irsay can still do the right thing by TERMINATING Reich’s contract immediately. 

He hasn’t done so before - but this is the time to do it. 

And before people say: “Changing head coach in season won’t accomplish anything positive”. Well, I’ve seen my other favourite sports teams do this and “save” their season. So that simply isn’t true. You CAN still salvage the season.

 

As far as Ballard is concerned. I’d still like to keep him, but he is not the genius GM a lot proclaims. 

He is very good and has hit on some amazing players through his evaluation skills (and yes... a lot of teams would probably hire him if he was fired by the Colts), but he truly needs to do some self evaluation. Especially as it pertains to the WR position and the valuation of premium positions in today’s NFL. 

“I like our group” is what he said about the WR position, which was a questionable statement before the season began and now bordering on delusion.

 

And don’t give me this: “But the Bills will surely beat the Titans, Denver will surely beat the Texans, so the Colts are really only one game behind the division leaders. No NeEd To OvErReAcT!11”

 

This must stop. Now.

Well this weeks excuses and positive spin should be fun…

There won’t be positive spin. It’s one of the worst rosters in football

[coltsfan_canada]

Week 1 Kicker gone
Week 2 ??? 

 

[Indy87]

Not sure if I’m willing to watch this team with this coach and GM. Maybe highlights. 

[aReggie7]

Good: 

 

 

Bad: 

• JT didn't get going. Colts will not win many games without a strong performance from him.
• Offensive line was bad. Ryan was pressured and hit all day. 
• Receivers didn't get open. 
• Defense. Run defense was fine for the most part but rush and coverage was not good.

Here's the only one I can think of......they got crap show in Jax out-of the way in week 2 instead of the end of the year with the playoffs in the line.

[MPStack]

[Indyfan4life]

This team sucks % water.

 

That's my thoughts.

[IinD]

 

To think we were talking how far we'll go this season... Lol

So....then you're not gonna watch? Just kidding. Maybe there will 1 or 2 highlights per game.

[Indy87]

Frank has lost the lockerroom. You can’t really deny it. 

[bsteves]

That was so hard to watch I just had to turn off the game at the end there. 

 

Frank, if you're reading this, look at your boy Doug, that is how you call plays. I doubt he gets fired this early in the season but at the very least take this guys ability to call plays away. Our oline can't pass block and Frank refuses to give our tackles help when they struggle. Oh, and guess what? We need help at WR. 

 

Our pass defense is a joke. Any QB has been able to have their way w our defense for years now. We can't rush the passer or cover opposing WRs. 

 

I fully expect us to be a main topic in the media this week. Commentators are going to clown us all week long. This game was an absolute joke. I couldn't help but laugh at the end.

 

Frank, if you're reading this, that is how you call plays. I doubt he gets fired this early in the season but at the very least take away this guys ability to call the plays on O. Our Oline cannot pass block. Oh, and guess what? We need help at WR.

 

Any QB has been able to torch our defense for the past few years. It's embarrassing and very hard to watch.

 

I fully expect our team to be the laughing stock in the media all week. Expect to get crowned by commentators left and right. This is really bad.

yeah it’s the same % different season. They will play up to competition and down to competition and tbh I’m not sure the team has it in them to respect their Hc any longer. 

[JediXMan]

This was the easy part of the schedule as well so pathetic

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It’s time to fire everyone and rebuild. From players to GM to coaches.

[DougDew]

2018 with Luck.

 

AC, TY, Ebron, then X Inman.

 

2022 with Ryan:

 

Pryor, nobody, nobody, and X Pittman (unless not playing).

Oh there absolutely will be. Those people are already limbered up and ready to go from bragging that the offense put up over 500 yards in the tie with the Texans.

[Nesjan3]

Ballard messed this up so badly. In a league that values QB's, WR's, Pass Rush and LT, he has failed to find Lucks replacement. Failed to find AC's replacement. Failed to provide even mediocre pass rush. Has gone absolutely complete dummy on the WR position. 

 

He instead has most of the money tied up in none premium positions like G and LB. The highest paid Oline in the league that is average. Our 3 best players are none premium positions. G, RB and LB. Just backwards. This isnt 1985. 

 

Dont even get me started on Frank.. both he and Ballard IMO are done here. Its time to start over to avoid 5 more years of mediocrety. 

 

On a side note posters who cant handle people who critisize the team, go after there fandome for it, then get butt hurt when there is a little back and forth should step away from the keyboard.

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I feel bad for fans who waited all off season to watch this. I guess we have to wait another season.

 

I mean Campbell wasn’t even used in space. It was all just pathetic.

[bsteves]

Oh, and I'm tired of seeing Frank look like a sad and lost puppy dog on the sideline when we're down. Get fired up Frank! Get p*ssed off. Show some emotion. Get your team together and make something happen. This is getting old. 

[Defjamz26]

Frank has to go. Period. 

[EastStreet]

• Good
  • NOTHING lol
• Bad
  • bye bye Frank... terrible prep, terrible game plan, terrible personnel usage, terrible play calling
  • Patmon at Z, instead of Parris... wut
  • Hines centerpiece??? .. wut
  • Interesting to see snap counts... just silly stuff
  • OL.... another bad week from Smith... 
    • Fire the OL coach... bring back DeGuglielmo
  • Guessing bad grades again for Moore and Blackmon too
  • DL.... 0 sacks... 
• LOL.... 
  • Irsay.... Ryan 0/3, and a 34ish PR.... Wentz (still playing) 3/1 and 100+ PR...   ------ BLAME WENTZ

Those grades you do after games should be funny.

Your zero key might stop working.. Lol

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Think CJ stroud is going to like being a colt.

[Colt Overseas]

I don't really have any good/bad/ugly. It was all ugly, with maybe the exception of Grover Stewart.

 

The franchise has reached its inflection point now with this regime. Its over now with Reich and Ballard's seat is very hot. It's a pity, there was alot of promise in 2018.

cambell is gonna be gone next year put him in the same camp with all the other busts

[colts89]

Good:

• The defensive line did a great job stopping the run and Stewart is a good player that people don't recognize enough.

 

Bad:

I don't want to get too much into the negatives much this week as I'm sure everyone else is doing that.

 

• Frank is building himself a nice coffin for his HC career. Ballard might be joining him as well.
• Kenny Moore has been bad for a while and the Jags O essentially ran the same 4 plays over again to destroy Bradley's defense.
• The OL was absolute garbage. The Jags DL always destroy them. They got their % together somewhat last season after a rough start, but that was mostly due to injuries. Not sure wth is happening this week, especially with Smith. Might as well let Raimann get all the LT snaps.
•  Ryan is an average QB and he'll continue to be as such. He can't make much happen without good protection and excellent weapons out there. Missing Pittman hurt a ton.
•  The backup WRs were the backup WRs. Nothing special and I hope Ballard can swallow his pride and admit that.

I guess me and u were right ? Ballard has not constructed a good roster. Sucks bring right and get ready for the rebuild. Ballard needs to go.

Eventually you’d think that these repeated instances would be indicative of a problem, but…

 

Nah, reich is a scheming genius and a good playcaller. 
 

Or something. I don’t even know anymore. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Ballard’s arrogance has finally caught up to him.
