So uh... Adam Schefter came out with a report that after this season is all wrapped up and finished, it could be ten... TEN total head coaches fired for the season counting McDaniels and Reich... That would be record breaking wouldn't it? -
But they are good teams generally playing good football across the whole season? It’s fine you don’t agree with me, but don’t put words in my mouth or intentionally misrepresent my point. Last year we played some god-awful football. The whole season. Yet when we were 3-4-1 people were still talking about the playoffs only looking at the standings and completely ignoring how terribly we actually played. The game we had against the Chiefs in week 3 was some of the worst football I’ve ever seen. I came away with the feeling that it wasn’t the Colts winning that game but the Chiefs losing it. Yet some people here were proudly proclaiming us better than the Chiefs… who went on to win the SB Now, we played a lot better against the Ravens this year when we won, but still had some lucky breaks. People here proclaimed us better than the Ravens after that game. The Ravens are the #1 seat and we’re 7th. Someone has already said they hope we get the Chiefs or the Ravens this season if we get into the playoffs because “We got their number”. Lol. A month ago the playoffs were a long shot. Now, because of Burrow’s injury and Mark Andrews’ and more it’s looking like a real possibility. My point, and pay attention now, so you don’t misrepresent it again, is I want the Colts to win on their own merits not because of luck or other teams’ misfortune.

He's a rookie HC and it's probably too early to make some huge proclamation but so far so good. He's checking a lot of the boxes I want our HC to be checking and the areas of the team that most depend on his expertise are doing above expectations based on the talent we have. How are we scoring so much with Minshew play at the putrid level he's been playing for most of the season is beyond me. I don't know if it's still honeymoon time and I'm not focusing too much on his mistakes(because just like any coach he will make mistakes too), but I never feel worried or anxious about what he's going to call offensively. Purely subjectively, his playcalling just ... feels right. It feels like the offense is in rhythm, feels like he's switching things around and keeping the opponent on their heels. It never feels to me like the opponent knows exactly what we are going to run and is ready to stop it play after play... like the situation was last year. His offensive coaching hires have been great too... the OL seems to be back on track with the new OL coach(props to him too BTW - finally was able to stop the slide of otherwise talented unit). He seems to be running a good operation with his assistants and QB coach. Just... in general the Colts seem like a well coached team. A team that you will have to work hard to beat, even if our talent is probably not at the level of some of the current juggernauts in the league. With all that said... I really hope Ballard doesn't come away from this year with the impression that the offense is fine and he doesn't need to invest in it. NO! On the contrary. When you have what seems like a great offensive mind, you don't sit on it - you go get the guy the best talent you can find in order to make that offense not just good(which it is right now), but dominant. Go get a legit no. 1 receiver if you can... go get a TE who can stretch the field and/or make plays after the catch... hell... if you love a RG in the draft... spend a 3d rounder to totally solidify that line and eliminate what seems to be the only weakness/question mark or give the line some much needed depth. Just... in general... don't be complacent with the offense.

I think Kelly will come back next year health permitting. He is due to make the most that he ever has and its quite a bit more than every season he played besides this one.
