Teams Indianapolis Colts - Unitas We Stand ™

[revo333]

I don't know what to think.

I don't want to win because Ballard might keep his job and we are just delaying the inevitable.

Sounds like Dororo/Sheedy at Essendon.

Can't get fired.

Would rather us win and try and make something with AR.

Still reckon he has the potential to have one lights out year like Newton had with the Panthers.

 

[revo333]

A fitting way for the season to officially be over.

Take a bow Jonathan Taylor you clown.

Now we are going to waste more seasons finding our next QB, yay!

 

[Shade]

I really feel today was the last straw.

I expect everyone to be fired now.

 

[Constantgin]

They should be.

Pat McAfee went on a rant on twitter, here is some of the main bits..

'I’ve said what I believed to be the truth about the team.. & a bunch of “Colts fans” on the internet were trying to get me booed out of the city..Current players, who have won nothing during their entire tenures, started using me and my face to try and paint me as the enemy in the city I’ve committed my life to.

And in the end… everything went.. just like I ****ing said it wouldIn the biggest moments everybody with a brain knew they’d crack.. and they did'

'As a multiple year season ticket holder (not renewing).. and someone who has actively, daily, attempted to be an additive to this beautiful city. I hope they become a good franchise again.. this city deserves it.. the OGs in the Colts building deserve it (equipment managers, trainers, ticketing, PR, sales).. and on the flip side the players/coaches in that building deserve whatever happens to them. Your unwarranted arrogance, laziness, and lack of professionalism has lead you to ANOTHER early vacation… which is probably what most of you entitled bums have been hoping for.I don’t speak for the city.. and I don’t speak for all ex Colts players because I was only a punter.. nominated for the HOF 3 times now but nonetheless.. I speak from my own perspective.. I’ve never seen a group waste opportunities/talent/money more than this group.'

Hard to believe the peak of the last 5 seasons was a washed Phil Rivers as the QB.

I was planning to watch a Colts game next year but I think I'll enjoy going to Chicago to watch the Bears instead.

Oh Lord..

Honestly what as a fan can you look forward to with this team?

There's no superstar players or anything the roster build Ballard had is completely flawed.

Goodluck to the next GM trying to undo this shit show of a roster.

Funny about expectations because no one really tipped us to be any good this season, so someone is doing something right as it's not like the roster is star studded and under performing. It looks like it's off field BS that is getting in the way, Pat McAfee would have a pretty good read on what goes on that the public doesn't know and I trust what he sees and his opinion on that.

On his show he said we haven't won the division for 10 years, that is really unacceptable and a disgrace as it's not like we are in a division with the Pats, Bills or Chiefs.

This feels like barracking for Essendon in the AFL.

People online are saying it's karma for the way they sent Manning on his way to Denver. I don't know too much about that but it does seem he has more an affection for the Broncos than he does the Colts.

McAfee tore Taylor a new one for standing around at pre season training wearing a hoodie while the rest of the team was taking snaps.

Colts reddit saying Richardson has had back problems since a teenager, So assuming they selected him already knowing this.

Sounds like he didn't know what he was in for in terms of standards which I find quiet remarkable that he is only now getting called out for it in season 2.

 

[Constantgin]

They can bitch and moan about Richardson but defense let a drew lock led giants drop 45 pts on them in a do or die game. How about Buckner and defense do their part and stop and contain a really bad giants team in a must win game.

It’s just a bad all round team with poor leadership from ownership all the way down to the players.

WTF

WTF

My fandom is now open to other teams.

I cannot support this please Jim let the daughters take over.

What is the criteria for Ballard to be fired?

This is absolutely insane

 

[Shade]

I hope this franchise loses every single game next season.

Said it in the weekly thread earlier how I think retaining everyone makes sense: if this type of season or worse happens again next year all of Ballard, Steichen and Richardson get booted together and a new GM and HC have a better QB class than this year to start a rebuild with. Far better doing it this way where they all go together than what the Giants and Bears are doing I reckon.

Yeah but how can you sell that to the fanbase?

Nobody gives a shit about the team at the moment Lucas Oil is empty and tickets were 6 dollars today.

So just come back in two years time?

Thats Jim's problem. At least Colts fans are smart enough not to turn up unlike the Bears and Browns morons who give their money unconditionally to the team.

I read there was a snow storm predicated so that may have been a factor in peoples decision to not go to a game that had zero meaning.

I'm more in favour of keeping the coach then firing him.

I think he did well last season. The AR situation was messy but not a fireable offence and I think he will be better for it.
