GunnerBill Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Not surprised but surprised Frank isn't going to Nick Foles. It feels like a last throw of the dice. I was told before their TNF at the Broncos that if they lost that there was a chance of a houseclearing during the season and that Irsay is at the end of his patience with both Ballard and Reich. They then won 2 in a row, but they are still s tier behind the Titans. That is clear to see. Commanders, Patriots, Raiders is a run of potential "get right games" but against three teams who can punch you in various ways. If they were to lose all 3 I suspect change would happen in season. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Are they sure Frank Reich doesn't have a headache and they don't have to go with the backup Head Coach? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Ryan may have an injury but I think the Colts are using it as a way to get Ryan out of the lineup and let him save face. He has by and large been atrocious. Ehlinger flashed for them in the preseason. Looked real sharp. In any event, I believe this is the slow rattle of death on the Frank Reich era in Indy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had made the decision they were going nowhere with Ryan and were going to try the young guy even if Ryan's shoulder is fine. They are saying Sam will play the rest of the year regardless. Who came to that decision between owner, GM and HC is interesting to ponder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been really bad. Also would not be surprised if this was coming from Irsay knowing he is dumping Ballard and Reich and wanting to see if he needs to draft a new QB as well.

UKBillFan Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 7 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: why would they have traded for Ryan if that was always going to be the plan The original intention was for Ryan to be their QB this year. During the Titans game, or straight after it, they decided that they wanted to bench him and try Ehlinger for the rest of the season, no matter what Ryan's injury status was.

He's thrown too many picks yes but he hasn't been really bad Wentz wasnt the issue the year before and Rivers wasn't the year before that It's easy to scapegoat the QB when the staff and FO don't want to own their share of the blame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Ballard is widely considered one of the 3 best GMs in the league, but he has had a brutal time figuring out the QB position - that said, can't feel bad for them after they lucked into Luck after enjoying Manning in his prime. They had a long, uninterrupted run of fabulous QB play while we were suffering through what they're dealing with now, which is a slew of terrible decisions at the sport's most important position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Egg Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 So that’s three QB vets teetering towards the end. Definitely going to be more bad QB play for 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 This is the smart move, to let Elinger play just like Reich is doing. See what you have in the young guy. They have been trying different retreads for the last 3 years and Rivers was the only one who came close to taking them anywhere. But, you know, Josh Allen happened to them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmel Corn Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Aside from the QB revolving door circus over the past several seasons, one thing that continues to plaque the Colts is their tendency for slow starts week after week. They always seem to be playing from behind, which further challenges their QB and o-line, not to mention taking J. Taylor out of the equation. Slow starts under Frank have been pretty common.

Bangarang Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Hmmm…the Colts strategy of going from old and/or terrible QB to the next isn’t working!? Who would’ve seen that coming? Any chance Reich comes here when he’s fired and Dorsey becomes a HC? Edited October 24, 2022 by Bangarang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
