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.

    • How bout this? Draft better and u build a play off caliber team. Ain't rocket science. 
    • Look im not gonna say Ballard haven't had his own issues, but the guy has been put in an impossible position particularly every year.   2017 - He has a lame duck for a head coach when we all knew was gonna get fired and was drafting for his scheme so I'll give him a pass.   2018 - Arguably his best draft getting two All-pros and a stalwart at RT. He gets to sign his choice of a head coach and is left at the alter at the 11th hour which in hindsight was a blessing in disguise. Drafted Tyquan Lewis, Hines, and Franklin who all have or had great years here. Andrew Luck was back and playing like an MVP.   2019 - Horrible draft. No excuses. It was his worst draft as a GM, but he did find a gem in Speed. Luck retiring a week before the season starts would put any GM in a tough spot so once again I'll give him a pass.   2020 - His second best draft getting Pittman, Taylor, and Blackmon. Signed Rivers and traded for Buckner and won 11 games. Unfortunately lost to the Bills in the playoffs.   2021 - I honestly can't tell for certain what happened in terms of QB. Ive heard Rivers was supposed to re-sign, but choice to retire. I've heard he was pushed to retirement and the colts wanted to go in a different direction. I heard Reich pushed hard for Wentz saying he can fix him against the wishes of Ballard. Whatever it was, Wentz was the guy and the QB carousal was supposedly stopped at least we thought. A god-like season for Taylor was not enough to save Wentz from ultimately being traded and you can chalk that one on whomever Reich or Ballard depending on what story you want to believe. In terms of the draft, Paye and Dayo have been reliable players on the dline, Granson you can make an argument is our best TE, and Fries came into his own last year.   2022 - Just an overall disaster of a season. Went the bandage route again at QB trading for Matt Ryan and you can say the colts did him no favors in terms of oline protection and JT getting hurt, but that was a failed trade for a miserable season. 2022 draft is still under elevation, but Pierce and Woods did show potential and Raimann looks to be the LT of the future.   2023 - Ballard finally gets to draft a QB to tether him to and Richardson plays a grand total of 12 quarters. It just seems like Ballard can not catch a break when it comes to QBs, but from I've seen from Richardson, I have very high expectations.
    • Hi Colts fans,   Yeah, I know, I know.  I was just as surprised as you were.  No clue why my good friend Jim Irsay would call me up and offer me the head coaching job.  I had to remind him.  Dude, I said, you do know that I've never coached at all at the NFL level.  Not coordinator.  Not even position coach.  Nothing.  It didn't seem to matter.  It was as if all that was required was for me to be good friends with the owner, and -- bazinga! -- I could be a head coach.   It was awkward, you know.  That first coaches meeting.  There was Gus Bradley.  And there was John Fox.  Both of them had been head coaches.  Heck, both of them had coached in a Super Bowl!  Yet here I was, promoted to be their boss, having never coached before.  Ever.   But, you know, Bud Grant did it.  So, why not?  Remember, I have a way of doing things.   Ok, sorry, I couldn't help but giggle.  I have a way of doing... what, exactly?  Things?  Things like coaching?  I have a way of coaching?  And how did I develop that way?  By actually, you know, coaching?   Anyway, I'm glad you have a new head coach.  One who has actually coached before.  And his experience doing that is bearing fruit.  I'm just glad I'm already in the Ring of Honor.  Because after what happened, I doubt that I would ever be accepted in by the fans, regardless of how I was as a player.  Heck, they would have put Andrew Luck in before they would even consider me.   In the meantime, I'm back at ESPN, attempting to "un-burn" bridges.  It can happen.  I heard Bud Grant did that once....   Regards, Jeff Saturday
    • We certainly have options as both DB draftees started at FS as well as CB in college. Perhaps Thomas ‘could’ revert back to CB as well?
    • Here's to hoping Colts hit the jackpot and everyone looks back saying wow he was definitely the best wr in that draft...
