Maybe Ballard should be shown the door along with Reich and Wentz.
    Just meant in general guys the team has acquired under him who we believe can be relied upon, they simply aren't delivering.

      Unlike Simon, I can't imagine this grade school ending to the season will sit well with Irsay.

        Colts look like a team that is very comfortable when front running. They get a nice lead and they can pile it on. Makes their point diff look amazing. But when **** gets tough, they just don't have the guts. Kinda been the story all season if you look at it.

        Jags came in treating this like their super bowl, getting to ruin the season for a team that is in their division and hopefully create momentum for your young QB. Colts absolutely were not ready to get punched in the mouth.

            The NYT playoff tracker I’m looking at says they can if the Steelers, Patriots, and Chargers all lose?

            We would literally be the most undeserving playoff team in history.

            Not a fan of the 7 teams in the playoffs for this reason - a team like the Colts doesn’t deserve it. Everything was fine with 6 teams witn the top 2 getting byes

              Not sure if my research is accurate, but I found one site stating if we lose, our only pathway is the following:

              The Colts would then need three games to go their way: 1) Ravens beat Steelers; 2) Dolphins beat Patriots; 3) Raiders beat Chargers

                if we fall *** backward into the playoffs anyway, it's gonna be an extremely weird week.

                  This is correct

                    I hate watching Wentz play. It’s terrible.
                    It is SO disappointing to know that they will keep him at the position at least through next season.

                    The Fisher signing at LT has been a failure, too. Solutions were there in the draft.

                      I think this season for the Colts only reinforces that regardless of how dominant one's team in any other area, it's very difficult to be a playoff tend minus a legit QB. And almost impossible to be a SB contender.

                        Colts bought their own hype after NE/AZ and thought they could just show up last week and take care of LV, and when that didn’t happen they figured they would automatically beat terrible Jacksonville.

                        This is why you never allow it to all come down to a game on the road against a divisional rival who has nothing to lose. Last week was the game they had to win. The fact that they let LV completely outplay them at home with a playoff spot on the line tells you everything you need to know about this team.

                          These throws almost look like Wentz is trying to lose

                            The 1st we gave up for Wentz looking like a really awful decision now. Say what you will, but it was clearly Ballard and Reich trying to solve the QB spot on the cheap. If you're going to give up capital, then pony up what's needed to get a true QB solution.

                              Wow just so disappointing, are the receivers this bad or is Wentz not very accurate?
