This team has a culture problem. As in, they have none. They have a bunch of guys worrying about their next contract or not getting hurt and very few worried about winning the game they’re playing at the moment.
They have no leaders at all. If they had one true leader, they wouldn’t have tried to coast to a win today. I’m not sure I blame Steichen as much as I blame Ballard. Ballard is obsessed with building a team full of the best athletes at the expense of guys who can actually play, or guys with character. There are no Gary Bracketts or Mike Adams or Cory Reddings on this roster. And that is 100 percent on Ballard. Hell, even Ryan Grigson knew that you need some character. You can’t just sign 52 of the best athletes you can find and expect them to be a team. You’ve got to have some leaders. Some guys who will put it on the line. I’m so freaking done with this bunch. I will not be watching next week. Cause you know what’s going to happen. They’ll play decently well and act like everything else all roses going into next year. Fuck that. Fuck every single one of these assholes. Last edited by Hoopsdoc; 12-29-2024 at 08:50 PM. |

The Colts have culture ...... that culture is being a perennially middling team, just good enough to keep the fans hoping for a low-seed playoff berth until late in the season, and just bad enough to not be a bona-fide contender that is capable of making a deep playoff run. o

The Colts have wallowed in mediocrity since the moment Andrew Luck up and quit in August of 2019. That is the singular event that started all of this. The team should have been blown up, and total rebuild started, way back then. It wasn't, and here we are. It HAS to be blown up and rebuilt now. If it isn't, don't expect anything to improve. Things will probably get worse. Flame away.

Rivers was washed up by then, but he gave everything he had. He was the antithesis of the pussies we have now. |

I completely agree with this first sentence, with the lone exception being the 2020 season in which Philip Rivers (along with an outstanding offensive line) led the team to an 11-6 record in the regular season, and then took Josh Allen's Buffalo Bills right down to the wire on their homefield in New York State in the playoffs ...... YDFL Commish recently pointed out that we had bona-fide leadership when Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, and Philip Rivers played here, and not in all of the other years (2011, 2017 through 2019, and 2021 through 2024.) Matt Ryan may have been able to do what Rivers did in 2022, but the offensive line was the complete antithesis of the 2020 offensive line (they were great in 2020, and absolutely horrible in 2022) ...... if Philip Rivers had had Matt Ryan's offensive line "blocking" for him, he would not have survived half the season, let alone led the team to 11 wins and a playoff berth. o

The infamous tap out and then the equally infamous “explanation” for it. Stepping out of bounds 2 yards short of a first down. The whispers about the work ethic and being late for meetings. Maybe we should just totally clean house. Get rid of everyone. Resign Flacco and draft a guy. |

Total house cleaning in the offices. The roster needs some cancers cut out but not a complete turnover. They need a GM that comes in a says we are winning this coming year and then acts like it. They need a coach that holds players accountable. And they need to overpay a few vets from winning teams to help set the right culture in the locker room. You aren’t going to build a winning culture by repeating Ballard’s 8 year plan or “next year”. There is enough talent on the roster to be a playoff team next year with a culture overhaul and some added vet talent.
