I would have traded up for Fields like Ballard reportedly wanted to. But as you said about Jones, water under the bridge now.

Says the guy who judges a player's entire season on 1 fumble.

But yes, when the entire season comes down to beating a shit 2-14 and instead of taking care of business the team shits the bed, it should be looked at as a bad season.

Also, it's $15M in dead cap to cut Wentz. Since Ballard won't use that towards FA then he might as well put it to good use and get rid of Wentz worthless ass.

I would absolutely be happy to roll with literally anyone other than Wentz next year even if it means a losing season. We are just going to have to spend a year adding players and eating that dead money but it’s better than watching Wentz.

If he is the starter next year I absolutely don’t want to watch, I don’t want to see one more snap of Carson Wentz football.

Gonna sound somewhat strange given that I think Frank is a complete pile AND that the D actually ended up with relatively reasonable rankings but if I am Jim / Ballard, the first person I step to and tell them they are gone, is Ebersuck.

Think of just how bad this defense really would have been if not for the remarkable turnover creating machine that The Maniac was this year. If not for him, we legitimately probably end up with maybe 5 wins? And not hearing any "well he is put in a position to make those plays"---- no Darius effin' engineers TO's with his incredible instincts- and very likely gets yelled at for not being in a particular spot in Ebersuck's SUCK ASS system!

I was at an event and it was hard to hear so I don't know what the tv commentators were saying. I did however hear a talking head on the radio today- NOT A BROADCASTER OF THE EVENT, but an AM channel game update guy say "I am not sure if the Colts defensive coordinator knows what a blitz scheme is but he better find one in the 2nd half or they are likely out of the playoffs". Nope, we played base over and over and over again.

I don't want to hear he isn't Frank's guy so it isn't Frank's fault. Frank owns the coaching administration, this guy absolutely SUCKS as a DC--- SUCKS and Frank apparently is fine with it! I am tired of pedestrian QB's constantly being 15-19 137 yds and 2 td's in the first half------ OVER AND OVER AND OVER! GET EBERSUCK THE FUCK OFF THIS STAFF ASAP!

Yeah, Wentz is fatally flawed for a QB...he NEVER gets the ball out quickly.
He needs more time to figure out where he is throwing than any other Colts QB we have had.

An absolute refusal to throw the ball on schedule- appalling!

wentz starting is writing off the 2022 season

brissett was worse

The dude does not know what a hot read is.

I guess that's just personal preference, but Fields would've cost a lot more. He would've cost about what Wentz cost, plus the 21st pick. You only had to trade to 14 to get Jones, that may have only cost a 3 in addition to the 21st pick, and I don't think it would've cost more than this year's 2. Unfortunate as it is considering who he plays for, I still think Mac Jones ends up being the #1 or #2 QB from the 2021 draft.

I predicted a thing and was right. I never said Taylor had a bad 2020 season.

Honestly it seems like COVID ended up fucking the least vaccinated team in the league over in the end. It seems like all the players who came back off the COVID list the last 2 weeks performed poorly. Today's loss was incredibly disappointing, but this team overall seems like it was a highly talented team that got struck by injury at the beginning of the season, illness at the end of the season (that could've been prevented with vaccinations), and was 9-3 between those times. It's now up to the front office to figure out how to get the results of Week 4-16 throughout the full season. I would suggest they add "strongly believes in vaccination against COVID" as one of their assessment criteria of players going forward.

The fans may write off the 2022 season, but the front office isn't going to. Wentz will be their best option to compete in 2022, so they'll roll with him.
