It probably wouldn't have mattered, but Blankenship is now 1 of 4 from 50 yards in his career.  Why is this clown on an NFL roster?  Meanwhile we dumped Chase McLaughlin for him who made a 57 yarder today.

Chris Ballard wouldn't miss on players like that LOL

Yeah, it could be worse.  The Colts could have Ryan Pace for a GM.

You've got a point. I don't have that many problems with Ballard. I just get tired of the Indy media treating him like he's won multiple super bowls when he hasn't really won anything as the GM.

Fair enough.  I love Ballard, but at some point in time(soon) Ballard better start "winning"

So what is the goal overall for the team? I’ve heard a lot of people move the goalposts. Before the season it was let’s compete. Now it’s “ well the season is 17 games. We can make the playoffs. Luke is that really the goal now? Bleh

I like Ballard, but he built the team to win in the trenches and they aren't. It makes the lack of skill at skill positions really stick out when that isn't happening.

The goal, to me, is to win the division.  And if not the division then a wild card.  Nothing has changed with me.  Anything short of those two and I mark the season down as a failure and disappointment.

Agree 100%.  The goal every season needs to be to win the division.  Settle for a wild card

Bruh. Its only 5 games in, but Smith might have one of the worst contracts in the league. 4/70. The one time he played he looked horrible this year too. 

Eh. Miami isn't that bad. They've just wiffed pretty bad at QB so far

Yeah it's just winnable compared to the others on our schedule.  We're going to have a losing record this year and that sucks

Do the Colts win today?  Or does futility continue?

Yes!

Welp. Gonna get dink and dunked to death. Nice to see Brisset is still terrified to throw the ball more than 5 yards down the field. 

[KingPG21 6,583]

There were fans who thought Brisset would be a fine QB1 here. Lol

[Josh 12,610]

Ok...4 games in...I've seen enough to say...Wentz sucks.  Good grief, we have another year of this dude?  Yikes.  Brutal days ahead.

His football iq is atrocious.  He holds the ball too long.  He's not accurate.  He makes bad decisions and doesn't seem to learn from them.  Aside from that he's ok I guess

Many thanks to the Jets for beating the Titans today.  Tennessee is mediocre, but that's probably enough to win the division.

Coming up?  Monday night football at Baltimore.  That won't be fun to watch.

I haven't had a chance to watch an entire game yet but I've heard it discussed by others that part of the reason that he's been holding onto the ball to long is that receivers aren't creating separation either because of their ability or because of play design. We'll see how the rest of the season goes. Oh yeah and the Titans lost to the freaking Jets. This division is still going to be up for grabs.
