Indy TV sportscasters always have the absolute worst takes. Same crowd that was #ChuckStay years ago lol

A lot of deserved Chris Ballard ire as Colts fans reconcile losing favorite players for pennies. Understood! History should assign plenty of that blame to Jim Irsay though. Complicated legacy to reconcile but his ownership without Polian around was rough.

No reason to believe Ballard's staff (which a new GM will undoubtedly inherit for their first draft) will do anything with these picks. But at least good to know Irsay-Gordon didn't hesitate to declare she had seen enough. No sense in evaluating 26-27 prospects any further.

I guess I view it like this: IF you invested a top-10 pick in iOL and that player is actually good (or great), why would you not see out that career? Especially when you have mountains of cap space. We can debate drafting G at 6 (you shouldn't), but once he's there, keep him.

None of this really matters, but my interpretation of the coachspeak: Jones can run Steichen's system, AR/Leonard cannot. But Jones isn't able to functionally run that system this season either due to 4 or 5 things making his play barely operational. It's a mess.

That's a ridiculous flag on the Packers! St Brown didn't think he was down. Packers tackled accordingly. You gotta use some common sense...

It doesn't really matter what Steichen says. The ship has already sank; he's auditioning loyalty for his next QB. (Also in all likelihood: he HATES AR...) But the correct answer in coachspeak is: "The offense wasn't good enough; we'll review the tape and assess everything."

I mean, yeah, you cannot keep doing this. Vikings are incredible and forced the issue, but Jones is non-operational from the jump.

If Colts do turn to Anthony Richardson (doubtful), it will just be a different flavor of bad. But you can't keep going to this same well with Daniel Jones. The cavalry ain't coming at WR and this script has become non-operational.

Why does it feel like UDFA injury replacement DBs are always making more plays on the ball than Mooney Ward, Cam Bynum and Sauce Gardner?

Adebwaore wreaking havoc

If Colts hold on to win this, I'm confident the takeaway is *not* "no wait we should keep this roster intact because it has the foundation of a true contender."

Was Jonathan Taylor this lousy at pass-blocking earlier in his career? I know he's been rough for a few seasons now but I don't remember him being that much of a liability his first few years.

I can't find the original tweet, but whoever said Daniel Jones is bad and boring while Anthony Richardson is bad and entertaining is so so correct. Zero chance Steichen plays Richardson but zero reason anyone should care to watch Jones.

Won't lie, I have almost entirely second-screened this Colts game. Editing videos on primary monitor. Looks like defense has stepped up, Taylor/McGowan look good, but offense is just lacking too many blocking details (with Daniel Jones being Daniel Jones). Fairly accurate?

Man, I wish Jonathan Taylor fit the timeline of the Colts' rebuild better... Just so fun to watch.

No one ever accused Chris Ballard of being bad at drafting run-stopping DEs!

Who knows where his draft stock ends up, or where the Colts up, or where any of us end up by next April. But I continue to be intrigued by Aiden Chiles as someone Colts might consider drafting.
