I want both Ballard & Saturday gone. If either stays then I can't see how Colts are serious about ever playing in a Super Bowl again in my lifetime.

I dont think saturday is a foregone conclusion.

Heard on First Take that Harbaugh has indicated he has interest in Indy due to his background- it makes a lot of sense to try to close out a loop that I am sure haunts him both here and in SF.

If not Harbaugh, Demeco Ryans or after what Detroit has been able to do, and after the damn hook and step ladder play yesterday, sign Ben Johnson for the gig. Both are young and aggressive and design things to their player's strengths.

And please, please, please get rid of Ballard. He clearly missed on this whole concept of giving contracts to winners, to captains, to fighters- he has rewarded a BUNCH of quitters.

Yest, one of the big screens- went for 15+ early, perfectly set up, Nelson has to make the ONE block he is assigned to, a block it used to just be a given that he was making it, if he gets it, it's a 60+ yard TD- he never even comes close and I believe it was Moss was tackled by that one man that could get to him.

Either Nelson is hurt, or Nelson isn't very good anymore / JDGAF!

I unfortunately think it is inevitable.

I like Saturday personally, I wanted to believe in him. I loved the feeling after the first game against the Raiders where he "proved" everyone wrong.

Then the next seven games happened. Which actually weren't horrible until the fucking Minnesota debacle, and then the team just gave up. So if this season was an audition for him, he failed miserably. Sorry, but there's just no other way to look at it. I won't completely blame him for this shit show...there's plenty of blame to go around, but hey, this is a job where the buck stops where he's it.

I seem to like Ballard better than many here, but honestly, I wouldn't care if he's gone either. Heck of a talent scout, but if the argument is to fire him for his failures on the QB and OL situation, I find it hard to argue.

It better not be. To me that would be damn near inexcusable.

Yeah, I think he'd be better than he was with some more experience and a full off season to work with, and a more competent staff. But still, please, for the love of all that is holy hire someone else.

Man I think we are fuckeD with that capital D!

Was listening to the radio and apparently will be a press conference in next couple days- headed by Ballard to announce future plans, and that he is leading the HC hiring task.

So, we're likely going to hire Marty Schotenheimer and trade our entire draft to move to # 3 and select the 6'9" 430 pound LB out of Nothern Boise community college that is projected to go 231st.

If Ballard is still here, then I would guess Saturday is as well- probably some Irsay horse trading that he will allow Ballard to stay so long as he keeps Saturday.

Officially turning the ire towards Irsay at this point. JMV is RAGING about how this franchise needs an entirely new vision, and he is right. I've always been in Irsay's corner, but keeping Ballard is a slap in the face.

FIRE JIM IRSAY!

Losing over and over and watching overpaid non-caring fucks just mail it in, is insufferable, brought to you by a whole crew of insufferable fucks in an insufferable organization.

Change is necessary!

Ballard is going nowhere, he would certainly have been fired by now....hopefully he drafts better QBs than he trades for!
