This feels like a Tank year for the Colts before the season even starts. Not sure the coach is in on it though.

It was a basic NFL Network production in another country similar to the games in London. The video quality was good and it didn't buffer for me so passing grade.

Wow, how pi$$ed are some folks gonna be if it turns out that: 1) you can win with Daniel Jones, and 2) Chris Ballard built a competitive roster?

My wife and I were still in the “hanging out” stage the last time they won one

Not sure how anyone who pays any attention to football could think Tyreke Hill caught that pass in bounds.

Amazing start. Didn’t see that coming. And I’m not an AR fan, just also not a DJones fan. Pleasantly surprised today.

According to CBS Sports Research, Week 1 marked the first time a Daniel Jones-led team scored on every first-half drive in his 70 NFL starts. The Colts would go on to score on every single drive -- becoming the first team since at least 2000, regular season or postseason, to score on every possession.

You're not wrong! Lol. Last year was the final straw that broke my back regarding Ballard. If they end up successful this season it'll definitely suggest it might not have Ballard all along.

Anthony Richardson was a piss poor draft selection.  Was that on Ballard?  Irsay?  Steichen?

All signs are pointing to Irsay? I mean all of them could be the answer, right?

Something tells me it was Jim.  But I don't really know.  But Ballard gets a lot of sh#t about that particular selection.  Win the SB this year and all will be forgotten!  lol

I’ve seen a bunch of X accounts who fancy themselves Colts thought leaders suggest over the years that Irsay mandated taking a QB in ‘23, so it was Richardson or Levis. No idea if that’s true, but given what a traits guy Ballard is it’s tough to picture him not being on board unless AR  just interviewed terribly.
