Ballard response..... "Owners decision"

If the Colt's have any aspirations of winning " multiple Lombardi's " that the owner is expecting, then that is a question that should be asked !! I have a hard time believing that Irsay is content with what is happening, especially on game day !!!

Sorry, I meant to say that a win today means we're 4-4. Just a typo.

I’m starting to see why Wentz was such a polarizing figure in Philly. He has all the talent in the world but damn does he make some boneheaded decisions.

What sucks is we’re stuck with him now, for better or worse.

Well this sucked ass. Is it just me, or are the Colts the most efficient team in the league at pissing away games?

- Wentz throwing away the ball on 4th down at midfield (which was a very questionable decision to begin with since we were up 14-0).
- Lewis blowing out his knee and coughing up the ball on an int return without even being touched.
- Rhodes attempting a very poorly executed arm tackle instead of just shoving the WR out of bounds on the very nest play which ended up in a 57 yard TD pass.
-Smith, Reed, and Kelly all getting unnecessary holding penalties that either negated big runs by Taylor or knocked us out of FG range.
-And of course Wentz sucking ass in the 4th quarter and OT highlighted by him handing Tenn a game leading pick 6 and another Int that gave them the game.

What's so frustrating is that Tenn didn't win this game; we, much like the Balt game, threw the game away.

Here's to hoping we get the #1 pick in '26 (or '27 if '26 doesn't work out) and Arch Manning comes to the rescue like his uncle did.

I just don’t think Wentz is a winner. His time hear has pretty much mirrored his time in Philly. All the tools, but it’s just not there. Too many issues.

I understand the frustration, but blaming Tyquan Lewis for a fluke knee injury seems a bit much. I'm sure he wasn't trying to blow out his knee. That's just bad luck, and he honestly should've been ruled down, because his knee was down before the ball came out.

From what I recall he hadn't been touched by a Tenn player on the way down, so it was a fumble. And yes, I'm probably being too harsh on Lewis, but we'd be all over Cambell if he had done something similar (blew out his knee while running without contact and fumbled). Plus I was just commenting on how well the Colts pissed away the game, and this play along with the Rhodes whiff TD pass on the next play was the biggest swing in the game.

I don’t believe there was any contact by the Titans. He fell on his own and was never touched. Sucks but was a fumble.

A player can be ruled down without being touched if they intentionally give up their ability to advance the football, and this is generally done by the player taking a knee if they are not a QB. Given what happened to Lewis, I think the fair call would've been that he had given up advancing the ball and was therefore down when his knee hit.
