That moment when you meet the honorary #Daytona500 pace car driver, your childhood hero, & the 🐐.... Peyton Manning. As well as one of the best natural slot wide receivers of all-time @bstokley14. #AllTheFeels #Colts 🏁

I think Colts' Steichen is at crossroads, where he's either a good HC or better served as good coordinator. We've seen coaches like Raheem Morris and Spagnuolo that were better served as top coordinators. HC requires leadership, accountability, media skills and team identity.

And while I think Shane has been an elite offensive playcaller in opening drives and generally in the first half, it seems like there's some playcalling/game management issues later in crunch time. It seems like the team always plays a bit tight.

Quenton Nelson doing special things per the usual. Earl Grey made some appearances as well. Finding a mouse in the house x 2 Jump hooking Simmons Pulling, lining up & driving his target to the sideline

If Colts QB Daniel Jones would fetch a first round pick, Blue would be driving him in an Indy Car to the airport.

$10.5M of #Colts QB Daniel Jones' 2027 salary is currently guaranteed for injury (fully vests on March 15th). Indy holds $35.2M of dead cap against a $46.8M cap figure next season.

For folks interpreting this as a pro-Steichen/Jones take: It's not. xitter.cf/LuckAtLuke/status/2112…

Here's what I think happened here: -Jones has consistently put in time off-the-field since his arrival, which is why Steichen continues to stick w/ him during these lows. -AR was not during his prior lows when starting (*that's not to say he's not now). xitter.cf/ESPNNFL/status/2111923…

I wouldn’t mind an arrangement, if he’s even up for it, with Peyton Manning as the Colts team president with a savvy GM under him doing the heavy lifting for football ops. Let #18 be the face of the org. Falcons currently have this setup with Matt Ryan and GM Ian Cunningham.

Chris Ballard should've been out in 2023, when the Colts were already bringing in a new HC and had the 4th overall pick for a franchise QB hopeful for a clean break. However, late Jim Irsay's declining health led to the Irsay daughters keeping Ballard on to lead the HC search.

For me, at that time, it was apparent he wasn't the answer. It was clear to me that he and his staff couldn't evaluate the most important QB position. Their best QB was a grizzled veteran Rivers, and after pinning Wentz on Reich, they brought in a clearly cooked Matt Ryan.

I think that was troubling part. Still wondering whether he & his scouting staff fully evaluated Ryan's 2021 Atlanta tape game-by-game, because I caught just one TNF game that year vs. Pats, and he had 'happy feet' with clearly diminished arm strength. Did they go off just name?

This Colts change felt inevitable at year-end, but kudos to CIG for staying true to her word that "stakes were never higher" and not wasting time waiting around. 2 playoff appearances, 1 playoff win, & 0 AFC South titles through 10 seasons doesn't cut it. xitter.cf/Colts/status/211217561…

The Colts sit at 2-4, coming off a loss to a winless Titans team (0-5), who had lost 11 straight in AFC South, with blown halftime lead of 13-0, and franchise legends in house to honor Adam Vinatieri's ROH. It was as brutal of loss as it gets and clearly showed where we're at.

If the compensation was remotely comparable, Colts should consider doing right by Buckner and sending him back to San Francisco (5-0) to play for contender. Let him finish his career where it started with a chance to seriously contend for a title again. xitter.cf/UnderdogNFL/status/211…

I'm stunned this is where Colts are. NFL GM is prestigious position, there's only 32 of them, and w/big salary, comes decisions that are evaluated in fish bowl. You get 3-4 years to find success or else. It's Year 10, and this is the roster, and what we've been building up to?

The talent level of the Colts roster has collectively fallen off, and yes, losing Alec Pierce has hurt the offense's explosive play ability downfield, but he doesn't rush the passer off the edge and play linebacker defensively too.

Why not put in AR for the Hail Mary when Daniel Jones' arm strength can't get it past the goal line?

This loss is rock bottom right now. Losing to a winless Titans team (0-5) at home with Colts legends in the house for AV's ROH ceremony is simply unacceptable. Unserious football team. Some heads could roll here.
