I still don't think he's ready to be a starter, but I'd be OK with him sinking or swimming.

Putting AR back would only prove what a dysfunctional shit show the Colt organization has become!! Maybe it's time for Jim to sell the team, or step down and let his daughters run the team, or he could bring back Jeff Saturday!

The offense scored -zero- points. The defense had a touchdown. Special teams had an extra point and a field goal. That's it, and it's not good enough.

Hell, cut Flacco and bring up Bean, or Ellinger, at least they can scramble when the OL shits the bed !

So what? Proving what most of us already believe? Just put the kid back in and let the chips fall where they may.

*Two field goals, my mistake. I turned it off at 21-10 late in the 4th.

I appreciate his sense of urgency on the sideline, I really have found that refreshing vs. what we had in Reich, but honestly Reich could have gotten us these results.

I'm tired of Rookie HC's. Exhausted.

QB is the single biggest issue with this team. And GM is the second biggest and the most fixable issue. Teams need direction, a plan, and a time line. Ballard has provided none. The best team he has fielded was the Rivers team and it is a great example of his mismanagement. He signed a QB that was at max a two year solution yet treated the rest of the roster like a long term rebuild. It happens damn near every year under Ballard. Find a GM with an actual modern NFL plan and give him a little time to evaluate AR. Hire a coach with some situational awareness and a DC with a pro level scheme. Full reset.

This team is in perpetual rebuild mold. We are never going anywhere with the QB's we have and GM. We will always be the lower half of mediocre.

The O-Line is grossly overrated. Bradley's defensive schemes are horrible and don't fit the talent available for the Colts D.

This is just constant dysfunction and I have grown impatient with the direction we are headed. I lose interest more and more every week. Their constant unprepared football are making my decisions to hunt this time of year or watch football easier and easier.

[CletusPyle]

Maybe it is meaningless and not important, but I would love to have a QB that keeps his helmet on and actually watches the game instead of lounging on the bench like it is a chaise lounge chair and he is waiting for someone to feed him grapes!

I'll never stop watching and rooting for the Colts. I remember years where winning 2 or 3 games for the season was all all they got. If one of those was against the Jets, I at least had that. Being a State of NY resident, the season could be considered not bad if they managed to take 1 or 2 from the Jets. My low point was in 1969 when what seemed like an invincible team lost to the Jets in the Super Bowl. There's been a lot of ugly losses since then, but two SB wins as well. Bottom line, win, lose or totally suck, this is my team. I cheer the laundry and that's not gonna change.
