So depressing..

Watch Levi's do so well. Really more pro ready then AR. Colts were in love with his potential to be.

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

The fact that wasn’t whistled dead as soon as the ball hit the turf says a lot. 

[RollerColt]

So we are just ignoring the blatant facemask…

Yep. Not surprising. 

[Shive]

That's 100% an incomplete pass and should have been a personal foul for hitting the QB in the face/head.

[Lancer1]

Not only was Minshew's arm going forward, his face mask was grabbed on that play.

Remember on draft night when people here declared him a bust just because the Colts didn’t draft him…

[#12.]

Can we run the ball yet, Steichen?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

No one cares about Levis. All it does it rub it in that out QB is injured.

[JlynRN]

So the refs are ignoring the obvious facemask?

[DiogoSales]

Can we stop with those Pittmann for 3 yards pls?

Yeah give him the MVP after 1 game  

[ADnum1]

What if levis is the best of all 4 ?

The game changed when Taylor is hot and he can’t out tutoring right away next series.

[kymd82222]

I'm not gonna bash Minshew, because he's a backup QB.  All imd going to say is that after AR got injured, I saw a bunch of people on FB saying that Minshew was the much better option anyway     If people can't see that Minshew is clearly limited in his abilities and often shows a lack of pocket awareness, I don't know what else to say.  I'm not going to pile on and bash him since he's a backup, but again, there's a reason he's a backup.

Levis  just threw his second 50 yard bomb to Hopkins for a td.   3 tds today. 

Yeah I think the AFC South is going to be loaded for years. Levis,  Lawrence, Stroud, and Richardson

People thought him “cocky.”

AR will be great. It is great having a player like Hopkins. All 3 of Levis's TDs have been to Hopkins. It is just one game.

Here's my main complaing about Ballard - philosophy is trenches 

 

we struggled at OL awfully, and have slowly built it up 

our DL has been downhill since we lost Autry and Houston, even with adding Buckner. 

 

We don't have the 2 waves, 8 men like he preaches, and if he wasn't able to get the wave going after this long, how much longer does he get?

 

hes a stud at finding unexpected talent, but faulters at certain positions in an awful way.

 

what will we do? 

I agree with this and I will also add that he is way too conservative in addressing clear talent deficiencies on the roster.

[chad72]

Positive is we could have been down 20-34 or 20-41 if Carr connected with Olave and if it was a Minshew fumble. Hope the Colts have a 4th quarter comeback in them.

 

Minshew’s 2 turnovers quota is hopefully done

Has the colts D been in the same backfield with Carr once??

Like I have said for years. Last year, the excuse was  they were gassed. I have said that when this D plays a balanced D, they will always get exposed. U don't believe me? I suggest u look back the last 7 years.  I don't like the scheme, and this lands squarely on Ballard. He loves this scheme, and he  drafted for  it. The other issue is that he hasn't assembled near enough talent to run this D.  U cannot blame Luck's retirement for the talent on the D side of the ball.  Steichen is a keeper. Time for Ballard and Bradley to go and Steichen bring in his own guy from Philly.

[teganslaw]

Stop turning the ball over! The Colts don't have to be so generous.

It was based on his subpar college game tape.

[stitches]

We are a QB, some weapons and defensive backfield away from being a good team.

We should have listened to Peyton.  He said he was the real deal.

Possibly a great DE as well, but yeah.

[JColts72]

At least Stroud and Levi's. Young is a bust and AR will be too.

Stroud has played well almost every week. This is Levis's first game.

If the Colts move on from Leonard this season they have to replace him with a linebacker who can cover the pass.  Teams have taken advantage of the Colts linebackers inability to do that for years.

Its not an if!!!

I never really bought that.  In fact this is what I expected.  If you let backups play too long they show you why they are a backup.  If you are listening to the announcers they are great job explaining how the Saints are just giving the Colts throws down the field because they know Minshew won’t make them.

He was putting off that "Bo Callahan" vibe...

Well rule of thumb. If you win at Kentucky or Purdue. You are a damn good QB

I loved Levis.  He was always my 1st choice.  Will pull for AR but his play doesn’t lie.

No called runs for him.  All pocket passing so far   Not many rollouts

We better find a ER or two.

Been this way for years now.

[AKB]

imagine being able to chuck it up to hopkins every pass

[bluebombers87]

OL is playing like garbage. Getting back to the QB before a play has a chance.

Then Colts are not going to win the AFC South for a LOONNGGG time.

[Solid84]

Sanchez was hit hard, how do they not throw a flag?
