The Reich- Wentz Experience was doomed from the start….
Bad beyond belief
Ended the season like they started. Really too bad!
It seemed like they had “no motivation “ to win.
Horrible way to end a season
Less than two weeks ago, the Colts “were the team to watch out for in the playoffs”. We sucked.
Mister Irsay you deserve much more than what you got today!
The fans deserved much more than they got today also.
The tax payers who helped finance the stadium deserve much more…
Hate to say it but this is all on the coach. Can’t beat the 2nd worst team or the Raiders at home? All on the coach. Good guy but losses are losses. Time to go.
Frank Reich is the real deal. Give him time to build the program. As a Pittsburgh fan living in Indy, the Colts program is strong and has a future. We believe in the Steelers when they were 1-13 with a scrappy kid from Louisiana as QB. Steeler fans proudly wore Steeler jerseys year round win or lose. That is why the Steeler players play with all their heart all the time.
Go Colts, my number 2. Hang in there Indy.
I can’t believe there are only 9 comments so far, 3 hours after the choke. I’ll just quote a Bob Kravitz from right after the game: “I can’t remember a worse regular-season Colts loss in their Indy history. Maybe you can think of one, but i can’t, not with so much on the line. Total s**tshow.”
Hopefully this finally gets Wentz cut. He’s one of the worst QBs I’ve ever seen.
Wentz ain’t going anywhere. He’s Frank’s boy.
Wentz has no pocket presence. You get near him he panicks. That being said the D wasn’t very good and the receiving corps are weak.
This was a combination loss. Jags sliced over, under, and through the Colts’ D all day. A couple of key catchable passes were dropped, Wentz tepeatedly missed check-downs, and Taylor was bottled up. The only bright spots were a couple of good kick returns.
Tough to be a season ticket holder.
Pro Bowl…..here we come! THUD……
The person online who quipped that the Colts played like they had seven pro bowlers, instead of 7 Pro Bowl caliber football players, was sadly accurate…
The Colts—which suffered their seventh consecutive road loss to the Jaguars—looked more like the ones who should have been decked out in giant bow ties, face paint and colorful wigs and suspenders.
You’d hope a loss like that would set a fire under some butts, and this team would come back hungry next year… but you just know they won’t.
The Colts have only ever been decent when Jim Irsay was sent away and a football GM ran everything like he was dictator of a nation-state. Even then, the colts managed just one Super Bowl win.
As soon as Irsay hired someone else, it went to garbage – they lucked into another generational quarterback and got him killed with no offensive line, so he quit. The Colts will be in the wilderness until they’re bad enough to get a good young quarterback, protect him this time, and hopefully it works out.
To get rid of Wentz you have to get rid of Reich. I couldn’t believe how he defended Wentz in his post game presser. They deserve each other along with both being fired. Ballard isn’t much better. Irsay under his current mental state is unable to make sound choices about anything. He looks like he is 90 years old and his mental state is worst than Biden.
Even a casual fan could see that Wentz was totally melting down mentally in the 3rd. No urgency while the clock was running, continuing to let the play clock wind down when we needed a bunch of points, way off on passes, holding the ball too long, etc. That’s when you put in the next QB to try to get something going. I’m sure most of us were shouting to hike the ball and then throw the ball. Instead, very slow to do either.
Can’t believe I’m agreeing with you on something! Plus 1.
