After 10+ years these seasons have become indistinguishable from one another. Different faces but same disappointing results. At least it doesn’t sting as much any more. I wonder if this it what it feels like to be a falcons or cardinals fan.

The colts are one of 8 teams with one or fewer playoff wins in the past ten years. We are in poor company. As much as I hate it I’m afraid some changes are necessary.

In the end, it is hard to win without a superior QB...however you want to measure "superior."
That said, it will not surprise me to see Ballard retained for one more year and it will not surprise me to see Carley fire him. As my son pointed out, it is a REALLY hard to be taken serious during an interview of a prospective new GM when you have to tell them, "oh, by the way, you do not have a 1st round draft pick in the next two drafts to start to reshape the team. Good luck!" The roster showed that is was good...when we had a good QB running the offense. I could see Ballard being given one more year to reach the promised land...and I could see CIG pull the rug out from under him. Let the off season commence. :( |

They are both fighting each other for the division title, as they are currently 1/2 of a game apart from each other. So losing to the Colts for either one of them would be a kick in their nuts ...... or at least a stomp on their toes. And if the division title is on the line next Sunday, I don't think that the Texans will rest their starters. o |
As much as I dislike the Texans I hate the Jags.

This season has been probably the weirdest I can remember.
Total apathy at the very beginning, exhilaration during the early part of the season, a feeling of dread when it became clear the wheels were coming off, and back to total apathy now that it’s all over but two meaningless scrimmages. It does suck that we’re stuck with Rivers even though there’s no shot at the playoffs. It’s the worst possible scenario. We can’t even find out what we have in Leonard because we’ll be playing a 44 year old who will play no part in the future of this team. |
Colts went from 7-1 and a 99 percent chance of making the playoffs to being eliminated WITH TWO WEEKS LEFT IN THE SEASON.
That’s gotta be the most epic collapse in NFL history. |

So basically the Colts got all the attention and early praise meanwhile the jags were quietly going about their business until a Coach that has no respect and can’t handle success set the table for them to go on a playoff run |

I said that the Colts' season was over. And I said that the only thing left to do for the Colts was to play spoiler, and kick the Jaguars and/or the Texans in the nuts. Both of those statements are true ...... the Colts' season is over, and the Colts can only play spoiler in their final 2 games. Most importantly, the Colts' season is over. o |

However, we could be the first NFL team to start 7-1 and, if we lose the last two, end with a season record under .500. Ahhh, the history the Colts make!! |

Rivers would just go home if he isnt starting. AR is on IR I really hope you all get your wish and get to see how much Riley is not a starting QB in the NFL. The coaches and FO are still playing for their jobs. They need to win. With Rivers they can show they can win with a good QB. Riley was never brought in to be a starter IMO. He was a late round pick to run the practice squad and as an emergency QB Again I like Riley. But he is not a starting NFL QB. |

Things can change regardless of where a guy was drafted and what the “vision” is for the guy. This is the perfect opportunity to see what he can do, no pressure situation just go out there and let it fly. Rivers playing good does nothing for building next season, I’m sure Steichen is all in on his buddy Daniel Jones which I think would be a huge mistake, so either way it all goes back to Leonard |
AR is not cleared to play. No idea why you would be dogging Jones. He's proven he can play very well. The guy toughed it out on a broken leg.
Rivers playing gives players a chance to get their incentives. If there are any. Will we see Riley today? Maybe. But he didn't get the 1st team reps. So Im guessing he starts next week. Maybe AR gets activated Who knows. BUt if he gets hurt then he spends the offseason on rehab ONCE AGAIN. And we will all see he is not ready. Coaches know it or he would be playing. It's obvious to some of us. But some need a visual to understand. |

This is exactly the problem: "The coaches and FO are still playing for their jobs. They need to win. With Rivers they can show they can win with a good QB." They shouldn't be, they should have a clear unmet ultimatum: PLAYOFFS OR UNEMPLOYMENT. So what, Rivers wins another game, or maybe 2, so the terrible draft situation gets even worse? Nah man, fuck these two. It's time for them to go and for someone else to try to make things better here. |

Against the Seahawks the Colts' defense was great, but the Colts' offense was lacking. Against the 49ers the Colts' offense was sufficient, but the Colts' defense was horrible. Against the Jaguars the Colts' defense recovered to play well enough to win, but the Colts' offense was sub-par. All of that wound up tallying 3 consecutive, competitive losses ...... but nonetheless, they were all losses. o |
