A similar overreaction, on the positive side ...... I was very impressed with Carson Wentz today, especially with his ability to avoid sacks. Philip Rivers probably would have gone down at least 5 or 6 times today under similar pressure if he had decided to come back for another season.

Also, I am actually hoping that Wentz' injury is a twisted ankle, even though they are a bitch to try to heal in a short period time ...... I think that it would be much worse if he re-injured the foot that he just had surgery on, reminding somewhat of Peyton Manning's final season with the Broncos when he missed almost half the season with plantar fasciitis, and could only play effectively for about 2 and-a-half quarters when he did come back for the final game of the regular season and the playoffs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Wentz had surgery on the left foot. Today, he injured the lower right leg/foot ...... my bad.

1) l Carson Wentz is the worst quarterback in the history of the NFL (and the AFL.)

2) l This Colts team has no spine ...... I don't care that they beat the Bills on the road, the Patriots in a nationally-televised game, and the Cardinals with almost their entire starting lineup missing. When push comes to shove, I know that they will find a way to lose the big game. Yesterday afternoon was the quintessential example of that.

3) l Jonathan Taylor is overrated. The guy gained 108 yard rushing yesterday, and he still couldn't find a way to vault his team to a victory ...... talk about all flash and no substance.

4) l Darius Leonard is overrated. Yeah, sure, he saved the Colts 10 points yesterday by forcing Marcus Mariota to fumble which made the Raiders have to settle for a field goal instead of a touchdown. And in doing so, he allowed the Colts enough time to score a touchdown of their own right before halftime ...... but what about that useless INT that he had in the 2nd half ??? The Colts' offense couldn't do a damned thing with it. If Leonard were REALLY as good as everybody says that he is, his INT would have inspired that useless putz of a quarterback that we have to lead the offense to put at least 3 points on the board in the ensuing drive.

5) l I have rooted my final game for this gutless organization. I don't know why I stayed with them this long ...... that appearance in the 1971 AFC championship game got me hooked, but enough is enough. Right then and there, I should have known better than to be rooting for a team that loses a championship game by a score of 21-0. I'll cut myself come slack because of the fact that was only 6 years-old at the time, but now that I'm 56 I know better.

It is not an overreaction to say Wentz has shown exactly zero ability to play under pressure. He makes a great throw once in a while, but makes up for that by missing throws almost any reliable QB could make. He is a whiner who takes no responsibility for himself, a shit leader. We win in spite of the guy. He and Frank have bonded on a much deeper level than football so he will never leave this team as long as Reich is our coach. For me he is the least likable, most difficult Colt QB to root for since Schlichter.
