2024: Game #5, Colts @ Jaguars, October 6, 2024, 1 PM ET

Everyone wants Gus gone (deservedly so) but the puppet master behind the scenes whose hiding in plain site is none other than Chris Ballard who continues to add to his under .500 record. 

[Happy2BeHere]

Poor Flacco man…his defense stunk it up so bad giving up 37 points to a crappy 0-4 Jacksonville team and letting Lawrence throw for a career high in yards… just get rid of Bradley already seriously.

[Solid84]

Coming up:

"We like our guys"

"Bradley is an amazing coach"

"We'll watch the tape"

[Lancer1]

They're tied at 20  in Houston, and Buffalo had the ball but they went 3&out in 16 seconds from deep in their own territory.

[GwinnettColt]

The Colts are VERY good at 1) making terrible teams look good 2) making beginning or slump players regenerate their season.  3) Sticking with the same game plan when it isn't working.

What are coaches and GM supposed to do when half the decade is injured? Teams can’t win like that

[CoachLite]

It's past time to clean house. Ballard and Bradley must go!

37 points is terrible regardless of their starting status.

Either that or he just won’t answer the question. Sick of Shane too.

[SR711]

Thank you Gus Bradley and Chris Ballard…maybe you guys can sit together on the seats next to the lavatory on the flight home

[husker61]

I’m tired of seeing colts db’s putting their arms up like they don’t know what the coverage should be. They seem confused way too often, this has to be coaching! They have played football at high levels most of their lives. Getting beat one on one, that is going to happen, but the confusion shouldn’t happen this often.

[teganslaw]

I can't be upset with this. The Jags played their hearts out and it was Trevor Lawrence's birthday. If he wished for a win, it came true. The Colts just came up short, but it was an exciting game.  

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

At least we can all hang our hats on the fact that Alec Pierce may not be a bust.

This has happened more than once and the excuses have been the same more than once. Our secondary not being able to cover and our LBs not being able to tackle is not on the Dline.

[runthepost]

And Houston wins lol

We’re in this position for lack of depth because of the GM… You even wanted a few guys yourself that didn’t cost must this off season

You’re not going to win when your backups and starters injured. They did well to make this a game.

[Patrick Miller]

We’ve seen this story way too often. Imo big changes need to be made……. starting with Ballard and Bradley.

Flacco throws for 360 yards and we score 34 points and our defense cant come up with 1 stop at the end. Bradley would be gone if I was running this team. Any time you score 34 points you should never lose period!

Unfortunately, all true.

That “we’ll watch the tape” is used all the time but the most patronizing statement a coach can make.  Drives me nuts

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

And we find the defendants the Indianapolis Colts, guilty of ruining colts fans Sundays. 

[Lancer1]

Ka'imi Fairbairn kicked a 59 yard field goal as time expired, and the Texan beat the Bills 23-20.

Again, 37 points is terrible for professionals. We’re on a backup QB and RB and we did enough to get us within winning.

bradley has been here since 2022 has he ever had a defensive ranking under 20th?    the defense look horrid when healthy the first two games .   ballard stinks

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

The colts are bucking wins right off their backs. 

[Lancer1]

The Ravens & Bengals ate headed to overtime, tied at 38 apiece.

Yep and Chris had an opportunity to grab better players than what we have. 

[tweezy32]

Not having Taylor hurt us so much 

[TigerColt]

Question. Why is AD playing over Pierce?  Offense exploded with him in the game. AD needs to sit. 

[IndyEV]

Venturi made a great quote!…” The mistakes keep happening, the same mistakes like last year! But when is enough, enough?”

I thought of him drafting Anthony Richardson as a "Hail Mary."  I think he has talent but truth-be-told, it hasn't worked out thus far.  It remains to be seen what kind of QB he will be for Indy.

Well I guess Ballard has had an unfortunate 8 yr run because we have accomplished absolutely nothing under his tenure besides add to his below .500 record.

I don't watch the games as much anymore.  I have it on and I'm usually doing something else and check in on the tv or here.

I am so sick of Bradley's scheme; I knew what would happen unless we got a lucky turnover. 

The defense let Flacco down today.

yeah I’ve been doing that all season this year. Yet I still find myself annoyed that when I do look it’s a play like 3rd and 30 for a first down run. 

[CoachLite]

Who was the driving force for hiring and keeping Bradley? If it was Mr. Irsay, he should retire. Anyone else should be canned.

When a QB throws for that many yards, they are usually on the losing side. They have to throw a lot to make a comeback..
