Official Thumbtacks suck even if they beat the Colts game day thread

Yeah, a win means we're 4-5 with a guarantee loss the following against the Bills. A win today gives us huge momentum, a .500 record, a very winnable game on TNF to get to .500, and we go into the Bills game as a steamrolling train with something to prove/play for. Now we're a 4-5 team who has lost to every good team we've played.

If Wentz is going to play the whole season the draft pick is gone At this point, I'm still interested in the games enough to want to the Colts to win just so they aren't giving up a Top 15 draft pick, as I don't know if I can handle the levels of depression.

They play the Jags after the Jets but your point doesn’t change.

Yep, you're right which makes this even more frustrating. Could/should be on a 5-game win-streak going into the Bills game with a 6-4 record and shot at the division. That's what a win today would've meant. Instead, it basically means our season is over. No hope and nothing to be excited about other than an outside shot at a WC spot and an inevitable 1st loss since we've sucked against every good team we've played this year.

The Colts are 3-5

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.

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.

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 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.
