I'm particularly impressed with Jeff Saturday's clock-management, on both sides of the ball ...... he reminds me of when Redskins linebacker Chris Hanburger would be in the referee's face the instant that a play was blown dead to call a timeout when his team was trailing in a game, late in the 4th quarter.

One reason Allen never ever played rookies. Loved him his old dudes

You might get one real stud, or two almost at that level with that money. By real stud, I mean a top 5 player at his position, and those rarely even make it to free agency without being tagged.

The team doesn’t need a “real stud” in free agency. They need to shore up the weak areas with average level players. Major weaknesses get exposed. That has always been my issue with Ballard’s use of free agency and his roster management. Every year they have one of two major holes that he expects to be filled with a rookie or a basement level player until he can fill it in the draft. And damn near every year it bites them.

The team also has the least amount of prorated money owed in the future in the league. They straight line their contracts more than every team in the league. You can argue that’s a good thing. But it comes at a cost - leaving major holes year after year.

Pryor at LT, alone, is an offense worth termination, without debate, you are THAT bad at assessing weakness that you permit that dude to represent the blind side protection- no dude, you gotta go.

At the very least Ballard should agree to no more ricockulously stupid experiments with his reclamation projects at super important positions like LT.

Also, whoever does the OL evaluating on his staff probably needs to be shown the door. On top of the Pryor shit storm we also had the Pinter debacle. They had 2 years to evaluate him and still thought it was a good idea to start him at a position he was nowhere near capable of handling.

Regardless of whether or not Frank Reich was the problem, the 2022 Colts were 3-5-1 with him as their head coach, and they are now 1-6 with Jeff Saturday as their head coach.


Also, the Colts have been outscored 100-9 in the 4th quarter plus overtime in the 7 games since Saturday took over.

In their last 4 games combined, the Colts have been outscored 73-0 in the 4th quarter plus overtime.

Colts are the worst team in the league now and by a large margin.

I think they lose to the Texans next week.

It’s actually kind of impressive how bad they’ve gotten.

I think they are mostly playing to not get hurt in a lost cause of a season. I think they bounce back next year with the right players added this off-season. I mean, they can't do worse, can they?
