I don't think he'll lose his job this year but if they come out like this next year I don't see how Irsay can legitimize excusing their performance.

Ballard has found some studs for the team..... Reich has misused them badly.

It will take a lot more to have Ballard walk, but the questions will need to be asked.

What’s the plan for Wentz if Reich is no longer in the picture? Has “Ballard” actually taken care of the QB position? Where is the pass rush? Why has Pascall been the #2 receiver for years? I don’t trust your kicker. Etc.

Ballard has found some players, but he hasn’t built a team ready to win. Having the best LG and best off ball LB are great, but they don’t mean shit without a pass rush, LT, QB or CBs. When you have major questions at the most important positions you simply aren’t going to consistently win. Ballard is untouchable in most of Colts fandom though. So Reich is the sacrifice. He deserves some of it, but he’s also coaching a majorly flawed team.

Great points.

Reich also coaches into the weakness. Ala today. We have ass at WR besides Pittman. We are down to 3 total available. So what does Frank do, decides to go buck freakin' wild with the passing for the last 3rd of the game including OT.

He is an idiot. He needs to be sent packing tonight!

I would add as a side note that the 4th round TE that can't touch the field except in some gimmick play that gets blown up was pretty much Reich's pick.

Was the 4th rounder from the year before Ballard’s pick? You know the one they cut because he apparently sucks and they wanted a vet. Of course this is immediately after he gets thrown in to a potential game winning situation because Ballard didn’t sign a vet backup. Or was that Reich as well? The shit OL play that got their often injured QB injured (again, with no backup), was that Reich too? How about Taylor and Pittman? I’m guessing those were all Ballard and guys like Campbell and Banogu were all Reich.

This is exactly the shit I’m talking about. You guys have your scapegoat and now everything is his fault.

I definitely will not give Ballard a pass on anything... He has made some bad draft picks too. Reich has straight up lost 3 games this year by being a stubborn idiot... AGAIN... You have an amazing running back but choose time and time again to go away from him when he is having success. This team is easily 6-2 under a Dungy or even a Caldwell. Hell I'd put money on even Pagano ia at least 4-4 at this point. Reich is just not a good coach. He will hang on to the job a few years while guys like Taylor are Leonard are wasted and gone by the time a new coach takes over.

Maybe just not z good play caller?

So I wasn't able too watch the game today, due to being stuck in O'Hare with multiple cancelled flights and re-bookings. Thanks American Airlines!

But, why were there so many incompletions? Was it dropped passes, inaccuracy, solid pass defense... all.of the above?
