Breaking down what comes next for the Colts: Shane Steichen, the QB situation, the trade deadline -- all of it. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/5021…

A sorry era for this franchise is over, one that became mind-numbingly stale and sucked the life out of the fanbase.
Chris Ballard's tenure started with promise. In the end, it never delivered.

My advice: Listen to Chap.
Also, we did this whole routine a few years ago. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this rumor. And last time, it was just that: a rumor.
I've listened to the @dpshow snippet about the Colts and Peyton Manning. I don't question Dan's source at all. I will say this, according to my source, the Colts HAVE NOT reached out to Peyton at this point. That's not to say they won't.

If Carlie Irsay-Gordon does reach out to Peyton, it would be interesting how he reacted. I'm not ruling anything out. Right now, there are a lot of moving parts. And right now, Peyton isn't one of them.

Tangential to the topic at hand, but nothing shows the contrast of 2025 Daniel Jones vs 2026 Daniel Jones more than this:
2025: 68% completion rate, career high
2026: 59.6% completion rate, career low

Colts structure for the time being: Asst GM Ed Dodds will oversee the personnel department.
Shane Steichen and the coaching staff will report to ownership.

Carlie Irsay-Gordon had had enough and fired Chris Ballard. But now the really hard part begins. The Colts haven't sniffed the playoffs since 2020 and the looming rebuilding prob is going to be a 2-3-4 year process. It's easy and often necessary to blow it up.

Firing your GM and not a coach (or coaches) strongly suggests we might be headed for a fire sale here.
It was going to happen eventually, but doing it now is a deliberate choice, as Carlie Irsay-Gordon said in her statement.

Statement from #Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon on firing GM Chris Ballard:
“Making this change during the season was a deliberate decision. Waiting would only delay the important work that needs to begin now.“

A loss to the previously winless #Titans made one thing abundantly clear:
It’s not a matter of *if* this #Colts regime will be fired. Just when. nytimes.com/athletic/7703264…

Colts had to work really hard to lose to 0-5 Titans. At home. Edges in:
*Total yards - 399-186
*Plays - 78-45
*First downs - 24-11
*TofP - 38:22-21:28
But self-destructed with 2 Jones INTs, Taylor fumble, blocked punt/TD, allowing 58 KOR.
You get what you earn.
