I think they may get 60 points today. They have 326 yards of offense. They’re averaging 9.6 yards(!) per play. Lol.

4 more TD's with 4 more extra points would put them at 59 ...... and that's not out of the question.

The philosophy is sound. That’s why good linemen on both sides go early in the draft. There just aren’t that many of them. But you need a QB in the league and they haven't had good consistency at the position. When they get it the other elements come together. But if you don’t have a QB the best you can hope for is mediocrity. If the team was bad they would would only be winning 4 games every year.

Irsay was too patient with Grigson, he made a monumental blunder selecting him over Les Snead. But Ballard was and still is considered a good GM around the league. I know that’s not a popular opinion with Colts fans but it’s the truth. Bill Polian thinks highly of him, everytime I hear him brought up on NFL radio they talk highly of him. And their commenters are all former league personnel. I don’t blame fans for being frustrated over the lack of overall success. But if it were easy to find QBs, every team would have one. Eventually GMs do run out of time, but I’m not really convinced he is the issue and things will be fixed if he is replaced.

As for this game. You can’t turn the ball over in the nfl and expect to win. Puts your defense in a bad situation and teams are too even now.

My post did not imply in the slightest that Ballard should get another year if the Colts are mediocre again this year.

I specifically said that the Colts could start 0-3 and then turn their season around ...... and then I specifically told Spike that he is welcome to jump on the bandwagon of firing Ballard if they don't.


Nice try.

The season is super long now. It’s like a bunch of mini seasons now. Everyone signed the jags off last year. The league is just a different animal now much more about resilience and the luck of health.

I'm a Ballard supporter, and I always have been.

That said, if Daniel Jones, Anthony Richrdson, and Riley Leonard all have season-ending injuries in the first 3 games and they have to play the last 14 games of 2026 with a 45 year-old Uncle Phil Rivers, I cannot defend keeping Ballard around for another season if the Colts fail to go at least 9-7-1 or better this season ...... even if I still think that he is a good GM, I can't defend the decision to fire him if the Colts finish 2026 with a mediocre record again.

I'm glad that the Colts just sacked Lamar Jackson, but you shouldn't be dancing and strutting in celebration if the scoreboard says that the other team is kicking your asses by a score of 31-16 ...... especially since it's only 2nd down after that sack.

Defensive front is starting to suck. 2 recievers out, and Henry just gashing them.
