Joecolt15 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Officiating!!! Kept the Colts down in the first half. Bad QB in 2 nd half. Ryan needs to be replaced before next game. 2 weeks new qb new offensive system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 1 minute ago, Dark_Indy said: Lmao. Non Starter argument. The defense can't stop short fields on 4 turnovers on 4 straight drives. When old Matty Ice hands the ball over. Our defense has gotten screwed by the refs over and over. Two turnovers overturned by ref nonsense, and possibly the worst PI call ever. That is my point the REFS screwed us and once we got behind the game got out of hand. Had we had the lead Matty Ice would not have been making mistakes playing from behind. Yes Matt played bad but not until we fell behind by 2 scores. At 1 time it was 21-19, then we got screwed on 2 huge calls and even had an INT that the REFS said nah. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people understand that it doesn't really matter how good of a defense you have, when your over the hill QB turns the ball over at an astronomical rate, there's not much they can do. Collinsworth hit the nail on the head that we just haven't been getting the turnovers that we normally do. Doesn't help much that the refs take away two turnovers from us in the game, but oh well. Some of those 4 win teams won today, moving us up the draft board. Then there are a lot of the posters here, who are either wanting to put the blame on Ballard or the roster, or play calling or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the defense didn't really shut them down. They never do when the opponent has to try hard. Our offense at least made Dallas try hard. But Dallas never really relinquished the lead, and scored fairly easily as they got over the shock of us being able to move the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back to Elingher for the season. If not the right fit, try for good (if any) QB in draft. Best I saw all season was Levis. Stroud and Young play off support cast. There is also Will Rogers if he decides to come out. There again QB decisions have not been good over the past 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL coach needs to be gone, the QB, we need an OC, not to mention a few personnel moves on the OL. And of course again the QB. Reggies done ok and id be down to keep him but hes not beyond being replaced either. And im not even sure if he stays without Frank anyway. He basically commented that he wouldnt have come here if Frank had not reached out in the first place. So it wont shock me if he leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldhorsefan Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Yep. Time to fire Ballard. He's still living off his sccomplishments with K.C. This season just proves how poorly he has put this team together. All the money he had in the years past to build a really good team just to pass good 1st and second rounders to resign retread old qB's sign 2nd tier players then try to fall out of draft spots to build a team of 4th 5th and 6th round players all in efforts to save money. Well it shows. Thanks Chris! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan played better at the beginning of the season, but this O line has worn him out. Ehlinger will never be a starting QB. Play Foles the rest of the year. Fire Ballard. Draft a QB in the first round and rebuild with Ryan starting next year after some rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Colt Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 It's not Ballard's fault when the Colts cannot score points until the second half. Look at their scoring in the first quarters then the second quarters compared to the third and fourth for the entire season. "Jekyll & Hyde" or "late for dinner", or "the alarm didn't go off" whatever the excuse is the facts are there and this is not the first year the Colts are dormant in the first half.
