First down Steelers on a 4th down......

Looks like the Steelers will put the official nail in the Colts' coffin.

And they just did

LOL! You're welcome. I saved you all a lot of misery from having to watch this shit show get fucking destroyed in the playoffs.

And Pittsburgh wins! I fucking knew it and picked them this week. Of course. What a terrible football day. Smh

Oh well...Wentz led team would do zero in the playoffs.

I was wrong about Wentz, he's not good! Eagle fans are probably laughing their ass off right now. This fucking sucks.

Maybe if they just block everyone it will be all sunshine and roses.

I stopped watching after I posted that because I knew how the game was gonna go from there. I’ve seen that movie before.

At home, they may have had a shot. But starting out like that in Jacksonville, that game was over. It was just a matter of how bad it was gonna be.

They have been on Twitter.

Still half the Colts fanbase seems to want to blame oline and receivers. Rivers was able to sustain drives with pretty much the same group.

Honestly,

Reflecting on the season.... Maybe just maybe it's incredible how Reich squeezed 9 wins out of this Wentz led team. Maybe Reich was Wentz last hope but He just can't follow the instruction of his coach no matter who. He has talent but isn't willing to take the guidance.. IDk

I really hope Wentz is gone.

I want to give Reich another season.. He did pretty well with 60 year old statue Rivers.

Gave up a 1st and a 3rd for him

Teams respected that Rivers was still smart enough to make them pay. Regardless of not much arm strength left.

Nobody worries about Wentz making them pay.

Yeah that stings a lot...... Hope we don't waste years on him

Eagle fanbase tried to warn us. They went through the exact same thing.

Kinda glad the Steelers won. I don't want to watch the Colts get lit up in the playoffs. I'm sick of Wentz, Reich, Eberfuck and the rest of these shitheads.

Hoopsdoc deserves credit for his accurate thread naming skills! I think Omaha should reconsider and give him a solid A....the Colts jacked off all day!

Rivers would have had this team at 13-4 at worst.

I could see that for sure.

Agree. Not only would have we had to watch another week of this shit show, but backing into the playoffs would have somewhat gotten them off the hook.

That's because Peyton would've been a better coach.

Since I am still obsessed with this loss...how possible is it that the Jaguars were sandbagging all season to put themselves into position to load up in another draft...if they were, this could be a very dangerous team going forward! I remember the turn around the Colts made after Peyton's first season!

Maybe they are poised for a turn around but I dont think they are sandbagging. I dont think players would do that. They are not wasting a year of their careers on the potential to draft some rookies that may or may not work out. Too much work and effort goes into the season, possibility of injury, etc. Front office may want that, but no way players would do that for an entire season.

I agree, but they could implement game plans with little chance of success....there are ways the powers that be could handicap their own team if they wished to do so. But this team, depending on how well they draft and whom they choose for a coach, could be building a very formable opponent for years to come!

Correct.

In the 2011 season, Peyton Manning was out for the entire year with a neck injury. The Colts started the season at 0-13. They seemed well on their way to getting the #1 overall pick (the Andrew Luck Sweepstakes) when they won 2 games in a row, and went right down to the wire in the final game of the season ........ a game in which it would have cost them that 1st overall pick had they won it, as the St. Louis Rams also went 2-14 that season. In that final game against the Jaguars, I remember the Colts scoring a touchdown late in the 4th quarter to cut the deficit to 19-13, and then calling timeouts on defense to try to get the ball back when the Jaguars were trying to run out the clock.

What the Colts did in those final 3 games of that season (and especially what they were doing late in the 4th quarter of the season finale) was the antithesis of tanking.

Having Dan Orlovsky as QB certainly gave the franchise the best chance to get Andrew Luck! :D

Still can’t believe this actually happened. To lose would have been bad enough, but to get blown out? That’s reason enough to question the entire direction of the franchise.

Just unbelievable.

glad we got blown out. not glad that we lost, but if we were to lose, getting blown out was good. might lead to some serious changes rather than thinking we only need to tweak some things.
