I mean, it feels like there's some talent on this team, but in the NFL the gap is just too narrow to rely on it alone.

How do you fire Irsay? He sucks as an owner if what you want in an owner is to win. He gets two generational QBs back to back and manages one Super Bowl. He is loved and seems like a cool weirdo. Not so good at putting a winner together though.

He pays the wrong people. It is his decision making on who leads the team that is my issue. He treats people seemingly fair and certainly isn’t cheap. I have very little faith he gets our next hires correct, however.

I’m afraid I have to agree.

This performance was absolutely inexcusable.

I mean, even a close loss would have been acceptable to me. But this team flat out rolled over today.

Just embarrassing.

I can almost guarantee that the Colts win next Sunday over the Chiefs and pump us full of another dose of hopium. I have seen it too many times! Even though we all know all our coaches suck, our GM sucks, and Ryan sucks....we will start making comments like, "we can still win the division", "this team is actually pretty good", "Ryan can still get it done" or "Frank coached a great game"....well maybe not that last one but you get the idea!

Nah, they’ll keep it close I think, but this team, this group, is cooked.

It’s over. This was a barometer game and if they’d even kept it close I’d have held on to some hope. But they flat out rolled over.

It’s over. Blow it all up. Frank has to go and hard conversations need to be had with Ballard.

You may be right, it will depend a lot on how the Chiefs come out, if they are flat and we have Leonard and Pittman back, with the home crowd, I give them a decent chance to pull it off!

"As pathetic as that was today, where this is and where we need to be, the distance is not that far," Reich said. "We have the players and coaches to do it. I know that doesn't play in the outside world, and I'm fine with that. We'll take our medicine and I'll take my medicine and we'll just keep doing what we do."



Were we watching the same game? I mean, the reason that doesn't play in the outside world is that we still have eyes in the outside world, and even the blind could see how uninspired and inept the Colts were in this game.

This wasn't a game of bad breaks, or even a college-esque "Ohio State beats Toledo because they have way more talent" type of loss. This was a team getting their ass completely handed to them and one that looked like they were almost irritated to be playing the game they get paid millions of dollars to play.

What about Gus Bradley's pitiful defensive scheme? Anyone else miss Matt Eberflus? Indeed, that says it all.

His scheme stinks. Pass rush has been non-existent through two weeks, we've let two meh QBs dink and dunk all over us. Talk about a death by 1000 papercuts.

Where was the adjustment today? Staggeringly poor.
