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..

we scored 34 points though.

True. I meant that throwing for that many yards usually means that the other team is scoring a lot. (Which was your original point. My bad.)

Its a good thing in general when a owner is patient .   Now being way to patient is a huge issue , keeping grigson so long ended lucks career .   Ballard should be a head scout not a GM

Ballard let the Defense down today

I was preaching all off season, go get Simmons or Gilmore or both, neither happened. Ballard is on thin ice IMO.

Agreed on all points.   I could never figure out why Grigson, a former O-lineman himself, didn't focus on protecting Andrew.   I think life after Peyton showed us how much he carried the team in a lot of games.

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

 

I'm actually wondering what life will look like for the Colts when Jim retires and leaves it to his daughters.  Jim doesn't seem to care much about football, just antique guitars, collecting obscure items (like the On the Road manuscript).

He seemed pretty prudent at first, in my opinion.  Then Luck left.  I wasn't sure who was actually making the decisions at QB.  I thought we would ride with Jacoby and then try to draft one but we ended up starting a QB carousel.  I didn't know if that was Irsay are Ballard.  If it was Irsay, he really isn't any different from Jerry Jones on that point.

ballard is way to arrogant   he believed he had a super bowl roster after luck left and could just plug in old QBs .

What are they supposed to do with this many injuries. 

Well, we can blame that forever if you want. But at some point, it becomes a problem that just starts to matter less. Every team deals with injuries. It’s an excuse I just don’t care to use anymore
