What good does it do dwell on these things?
The fact is, this team was collapsing anyway. The Jones injury just softens the sting a bit, as much as it sucks to say that.

They lost to Pittsburgh by 7, KC by 3, and Houston by 4…without their two best Defenders and with a Quarterback who was playing with a broken leg. What, in the name of all that is holy, did you expect?
And, the reason you dwell on the details is that they shape the perception of the state of the franchise. If the Colts lose these next few games, the fire everybody and tear it down to the ground brigade will rise from the ground like zombies, rotting flesh and all, determined to eat Chris Ballard’s brains.
If Riley Leonard stinks up the joint, we can’t come to the conclusion that it’s time to let Alec Pierce go. We can’t decide that Jonathan Taylor has overstayed his welcome.
We’re building a team for the future, a future that, sometime in 2026, will include Daniel Jones.
True, 2026 looks gloomy, but if we play our cards right, 2027 will be bright.
