They want to win.    They could get a turn over or a stop here.    

 

I think it makes more sense to make the Chargers use their timeouts. They may have run out of time (maybe not), if the Colts had not taken the TOs. JMO.

Chargers are bad and they are supposed to have a quarterback .

 

Our D has generally been good to great against even the best QBs in the league this season. That being said, Herbert does look pretty mid. Doesn't look close to a young Phillip rivers at the very least.

I'd be shocked if Sam is on the roster next season.

 

You'd be better off drafting Stetson Bennett 

Sam is horrible.  I would be shocked if he plays.

Make sure we have the proper D and rested to force them into a fg instead of td, no issue with clock management  there and it worked.

Absolutely correct.

I was also confused as to why we would help the Chargers out by basically calling timeouts for them. Bad clock management by Jeff.

 

I was very confused. If they had 2+ min left, with the 2 min warning, I would understand taking TOs, but there was less than a minute left.

The best evidence one could come up with for the Colts potentially tanking atm is Sam not starting over Nick in the second half. I'm perfectlly fine with that, but I won't believe for a second that Sam wouldn't look better out there.

I disagree - Foles is a Superbowl MVP who is seeing his 1st game action as a Colt since the preseason, so I'd give him a little latitude since with his experience & postseason success,  he now represents our best chance to win.

Still waiting. Yea cus i didnt say no such thing , Thanks.

You say the league will turn into flag football after one of our players gets decked and a guy ejected. 
 

Then you follow up with the league is protecting players too much. 
 

I think almost anyone would come to same conclusion as us.

So why are we playing Foles again? I have a hard time believing that he gives us the best chance to win, he looks like a slightly more mobile Matt Ryan. 

We don’t have any talent at QB. Ryan with a stronger arm (Foles) is the best we can put on the field.

We weren't going to drive the other way regardless,make sure your D is catching their breath and has time to set up to prevent td and keep it a 1 score game. LAC could have hurried up and got us in mismatch and they had t.o. to burn as well. Smart coaching..it worked.

i dont take people serious when they don't take player health serious.. such a display of egocentric perspective.  i bet he'd feel different if his son  was ut there getting decapitated.

Football in itself is a risk. Football was way more fun to watch when defenders could play. We can point to health but for every Junior Seau there's hundreds of players who lived fine. The flags are getting excessive and are changing the game.

If we're outside the 5 pick do you all think we trade up? I don't see how we couldnt.

No I think we are set on Will Levis and he likely goes 4-7 so we are within his range no matter how it plays out. Stroud will never be a top QB,Richardson needs to sit a year and Young will be gone before we can get him.

The focus on concussions and player health in general is long over due.

Football has never been satic. the game evolves.  player health is important, and i bet its really easy to avocate for people to take blind side hits when your body doesn't feel any of the impact.

He sucked with the Bears as well, but I digress. At this point it doesn't matter so I hope Foles continues doing what he's doing in the second half lmao.

    • Appreciate the response.   A few thoughts to share….   i think Irsay only steps down IF his health deteriorates.  No use in comparing him to Kraft, his health appears to be better even though he’s much older.     But if Irsay stepped aside, here’s why I don’t see the daughters blowing things up and starting over.   If they fire Ballard — fine.  But if they also fire Dodds and Brown, at that point, I think you’d see the rest of the scouting department resign (if they weren’t fired too).  They will all get good jobs elsewhere too.     At that point, Steichen is surrounded by very few who know him.  Worse for the daughters…. There would then be a clear line.   With Irsay vs with the daughters.  And if the new GM doesn’t do well and things go south, then the blame won’t go as much to the new GM as it will to the daughters who decided to blow things up.   They’ll be the focus of incredible hate if the new regime makes fans long for what looks like the good old days of the Ballard years.      The argument for not hiring Dodds or Brown seems to be little more than Ballard-hate.  Those people want nothing more to do with anyone associated with Chris Ballard.   Guilt by association, not because of ability.      Thats why I described hiring one of Dodds or Brown as the easiest, simplest, cleanest move to make.  Much less risk.  But blowing it up and starting over is the far higher risk move.  Threading a tiny needle hoping to get it right.     By the way, if you fire Ballard and company and hire a new GM, who does those interviews?   Honestly, who?   Who would you feel good about conducting the interviews of the new GM?      Firing someone is easy.  Hiring the right person is really hard.    Thanks for your patience. 
    • I just want to be on record now. If the Colts fire Ballard for whatever reason in the next few years, I have no clue what direction they will go. Just wanted to get that out there in case any of you were wondering my opinion on this. 
    • I understand there are a lot of people that don’t know the story. I for one am burnt out on it. I do find it funny they “stole” the Ravens from Cleveland but whine about the Colts leaving. Sports bring out the best homers and team spirit. 
    • Colts by 17. Going to be a rough week for you buddy.    Thats a joke. I have no idea but would probably lean towards the Packers winning if I had to choose. I do think it’s great you may have transitioned to a third franchise QB in a row. I hope Love has a great career for you guys. Always had a soft spot for the Packers and they would probably be my team if I didn’t love the Colts. I enjoy it when you guys are good. Best of luck this year!!  
    • Packers have a pretty strong and balanced team. The defense was able to hold the Chiefs to a low score last year while the offense was perhaps the only one to score over 24 points on the Chiefs defense.    But really it’s hard to say as of right now. Let’s see how everyone fares during training camp and after their season openers. Lots of things can change.
