Foreskins are gonna F%ck us

My take is, that Reich had no conviction, no backbone to stand up to Irsay and had definitely lost Irsay's confidence.

I've said this before, I doubt that Irsay outright dictated every stupid personnel decision that was made. But he damn sure laid out some options and told Reich and Ballard to choose one.

If I'm wrong I'll admit it when the evidence comes out. But for Irsay to dictate starting lineups, he would have to become his dad. So maybe that is the case, but I sure as hell hope not. Because if it is, the franchise is fucked for at least a decade.

No one, whether players or coaches or Ballard, wanted to bench Ryan for Sam. You won’t find a single one supporting the move. They didn’t outright say so because Irsay signs their checks, but there is no doubt from anyone I’ve seen that Jim was the sole reason behind benching Ryan for Ehlinger.

Keefer, Holder, Bowen, JMV, Wells, Kravitz, they all agree that it was Irsay behind that move. I haven’t seen anyone connected with the team that doesn’t think it was Jim. I don’t think there’s really any doubt about that anymore.

You can beat around the bush all you want but that’s Jim Irsay dictating the starting lineups. That’s just reality.

Is something up with Irsay? Who knows, I didn't like him going after Snyder (not a Snyder fan I just thought it was petty and uncalled for), I don't remember him interfering this much in the past...last year with Wentz, this year with Ryan, hope his daughters are watching out for him!

I agree he deserved it, just not sure Irsay with his past history was the best choice to call out his moral failures!

Yeah, most of us were like good for Q. But the Colts FO has access to his medical records, so if it is his back or something else physically that's messing him up then they should have known better.

WAS is averaging about 70.3 snaps per game with Wentz and 70.5 snaps with Heinicke (pretty consistent). So WAS gets 70.4 snaps per game which would be about 1,197 snaps for the season, 838 would be 70%.

So Wentz would need another 416 snaps on top of the 422 he's already had. That's 59.4 snaps per game over the final 7 games... or 69.3 snaps per game over 6 games. Both are below WAS current average.

No way they're pulling Heinicke for Wentz, so he would have to get hurt. And is Wentz even the back up at this point?

Irsay hurt himself with his substance abuse. He never physically or sexually harassed others in his employ. He has daughters who will be the principal owners of the Colts, this horseshit of rich men abusing female employees must STOP.

He is exactly the guy. He has addressed his failures, admitted his addiction and fought to overcome them. He has daughters and they will be the team owners. Now is the time to say something and stand up to the harassment.

Did I miss something with the benching of Ryan for Sam? Like a separated shoulder. A shoulder that as soon as he was able to throw the ball he was back as our starter? The players didn't like it? Who gives a shit? This isn't the NBA, yet. I know that they said Sam was going to be the qb regardless of Ryan's injury. They also said it was going to be the qb for the rest of the year. The Colts lie to us continuously, I watch what they do, not what they say. Those who know what really happened will never tell us the truth. Irsay made some people uncomfortable and for that I am happy. Somebody needed to shake shit up.
