That was 100 percent Jim Irsays call.

So this arguing over whether Jim is really deciding who plays is pointless. He absolutely is, or at least he did in that situation.

Colts owner @JimIrsay said early this morning that he empowered HC Frank Reich to make the change at QB from veteran Matt Ryan to Sam Ehlinger, a 6th rd pick in 2021, and was "excited" and that he, Reich and he, Reich and GM Chris Ballard were in "lockstep" on the move.
Irsay owns the team, he has been hands off until the wheels come off. Notice Ehlinger is no longer starting. Saturday is the guy who put Ryan back as the starter.

Ballard may get fired, but thats not happening until the day after the end of the season. There wont be time or people available to hire until the off season.

Lol. Of course he’s gonna say that. I find it funny that you’re choosing to believe him over your own eyes and literally everyone else involved.

Not a single player supported the move outright and Ryan Kelly let everyone know what he thought of the move publicly.

There is no way Frank Reich and Ballard were so disconnected from their own team that they didn’t know that move would never fly with the players.

Then there are the dozens of people connected with the team who talked to the local media guys anonymously and made it plain where this came from. Not a single one of the people who cover the team think this came from anywhere else but Irsay.

Come on, man. Stop playing dumb.

Ryan kelly is one of the main reasons the offense line cant get it done, he is the last guy who is running his mouth.

I don’t disagree but it doesn’t change my point.

Hoops, not disputing your point here, but in terms of no way they were / are that disconnected- we put Matt fucking Pryor out at LT- never underestimate just how out to lunch they are.

With his team trailing by 7 points and only 3:43 left to play in the 4th quarter l Taylor Heinicke l led the Commanders on a 90-yard TD-drive to tie the game at 20.

The game ended in a tie.

The Commanders are now 5-1-1 in games with Taylor Heinicke at quarterback ...... their lone loss on that 7-game span was a last-second loss to the Minnesota Vikings (10-2) on a field goal.
