Considering this team sucks ass & doesn’t have one single player worth a shit or keeping, I’m not mad. Terrible organization from top to bottom. Welcome to the Colts in the 80’s for those that don’t remember

What players were those? They all contributed to the choke job today.

Matt Ryan had no business starting the game today. But he did.

Every time I think my expectations are appropriate, the universe recalibrates.

I’m not excited about next year

I'm afraid this is the new identity for the Colts...laughable losers for the foreseeable future!

A lot of guys gave it their all today. Zaire, Defo, and Dayo just off the top of my head.

This hurts, but it’s better for the future of the franchise than somehow eking out a win that wouldn’t matter at all.

Being the laughingstock of the league may just snap Irsay out of his funk and make him go back to being a decent owner. Hire good people and stay out of their way. Let them work.

No more of this hiring morons from the good old days.

I would say that's a little harsh. The D-Line did have 7 sacks today.

The O-Line played well for the most part. The sacks that Ryan took were from him holding onto the ball too long, which has become a common theme.

Bradley went into conservative mode on defense way too early and the offense did as well. I'm going to assume that this was Saturday's decision.

So you couple that with a coach that is in over his head a OC that is in over his head and a QB who is no longer Matty Ice but Matty noodle arm, Matty shit my pants and Matty indecisive and that's what you get.

matt ryan better not take another snap for the colts

ever

fuck that guy.

I really can't stand watching Ryan on the field anymore. He is fucking shot, and our organization can't see it or refuses to see it. How much worse can Foles be?

Sure, and they all were part of a defense that gave up 22 points in a quarter. Buckner also had a critical roughing the passer call in OT.

Rainman gave up a sack on the 2nd play of the game I believe, but I think he settled in nicely after that.

They played well. Until the end of the game when it mattered. In OT, the Vikings dialed up a blitz that Ray Charles' corpse could have seen coming, and the Colts had no answer for it.

We are in a dangerous downward spiral that could lead to a huge player exodus and a decade similar to the 80’s where players were praying to not be drafted by the Colts. We are a ship without a captain and a partial crew trying to save it.

Colts outscored 58-0 in the 4th quarter of the last 2 games!

Ryan and Ehlinger are hot garbage. We know exactly what they are. Let Foles play out the rest of the season as a tryout for the backup position next year.

He sucks but it doesn’t matter. Foles or Ehlinger aren’t going to do any better behind this offensive line.

It’s just not good enough to allow a passing game that can win. Everything has to be short and quick. The defense knows that.

As an added bonus, they also suck at run blocking.

I'm going to dispute that claim ...... if Ray Charles were alive he would have seen that blitz coming, but not his corpse.

I think that you exaggerated a little.

Sad thing for me is that I honestly don't care. We need to lose and get a good rookie QB. But that was a rough way to do it.

Very little

Exactly my thoughts.

Better off losing in the long run, but DAMN that sucked.

It’s becoming more and more obvious Reich wasn’t the primary issue with this team. A new coach may do the team good, but the way in which things were handled will likely hurt them. The meddling at QB, the hiring of a coach with zero coaching experience, and promoting an OC with no experience will all hurt this team during any real coaching search. Couple that with Ballard’s constant focus on the future and it’s just not an attractive job IMO. I’m afraid Saturday will end up with the job permanently.

Like Ballard won't fuck that up. He's got to go ASAP.

Blitzes are rarely on the O-Line. It's more about play call, play design, recognition and blitz pickup. The Colts have sucked at blitz pickup all year.

Reich was never the problem.

There were those of us who said that all along.

The problem is a fatally flawed offensive line and a meddling owner. With a washed up quarterback as a secondary problem.

Reich should still be the coach. I know for a fact he’d be better than Jeff Saturday.

Here is where I disagree. Irsay has said that a previous coach, either Dowhower or Infante, would always just bury their heads in the playbook, play call sheet or the film room, thinking that they had all the answers.

I believe that Reich was similar, with his I'm the smartest guy in the room aura and Irsay recognized it and said fuck no, I' not going down this road again.

I agree and I’m also one who has said it all along. I was trying to be gentle in pointing out he wasn’t the problem. The team was 3-3-1 with a history of coming together mid season before Reich was forced to start Ehlinger. They are certainly worse for Irsay’s meddling.

Yeah, Irsay sure showed him. Team is obviously better for it right?

You can't be ahead 33-0 and lose and still be considered a good coach! After the loss in Dallas, then this embarrassment, Saturday should not be back next season! But neither should Ballard, he built this shitshow and needs to be shown the door!

Frank had years to figure it out. He’d done nothing, absolutely nothing, to indicate this year would be any different.

Start selling things off and start over, completely. It’s time.

Saturday may not be the answer but I never suspected he was. He’s a steward.

Meanwhile this team looks exactly the same whether Reich is here or not

I'm on record in saying that Saturday is probably not the answer. But Reich never was either.

Never having the same QB twice certainly hamstrings a coach. You look at most of the components of winning and the Colts have often lacked them. In a passing league the Colts weaknesses have been at QB, pass rush, WR, and LT (last couple years). I’m not sure what Colts fans expect - not a single season under Ballard has the team been built to truly compete. It’s always been a continuation of the rebuild.

Irsay’s handling of the situation has only diminished the team. They are a fucking laughing stock around the league. He satisfied idiot fans calling for Reich’s head and the team is worse off. They were 3-3-1 when Irsay started meddling. They are now 1-6 since. And the master motivator has been outscored 58-0. But at least Reich isn’t still trying to coach his way out of it I guess.

Yep. We are adrift as an organization.

I took a nap during the Browns/Ravens game

He will probably trade down multiple times to acquire as many 2nd round picks as he can, which will be spent on project DEs with "great traits" who never amount to shit in the NFL (after not doing much in college).

Damn, what a shitty afternoon for Colts fans. Good thing for me that I had already bailed on this worthless piece of shit team and decided to go see Violent Night instead of watching the Colts game. I had a much better time than watching my team allow the largest comeback in NFL history.

And as an added bonus they showed the red band trailer for Cocaine Bear before the show, which I can't get enough of (linked below) :D:D:D:D

Reich did a good job considering the bs he had to work with at quarterback.

10-6 with Luck.

30-27-1 with the carousel that came after him.

Ballard is much more to blame for the downfall of this team than Reich. Reich was the one holding it together, as evidenced by the 1-4 record since he was fired.

Getting rid of Reich was a mistake.

The problem is Reich had pretty much lost the team and was a lame duck.

Also just speculating, but Irsay probably wanted some real answers as to why the highest paid OL in the league that he was paying for was performing as the worst in the league. When Reich and Ballard couldn't supply him with any real answer other than trying to blow the same smoke up his ass they had been giving the public (OL really isn't that bad and getting better BS), he eventually grew tired of it and decided to bring in someone from the outside who could give him a real answer.

The OL is playing better since Saturday came in...they know they can't hide their poor play from him, when they screw up, he will know it!
