Colts 2022 Embrace the suck

[thunderchicken]

Imagine if we beat the Eagles next week?

There is always the possibility the Eagles players don't come as mentally prepared as they should because they think they got it in the bag. You know, kinda like the Colts did in that horrendous last game of last season. You may recall the guys yucking it up on the sidelines while getting pounded on the field

Could happen

Local Fox 59 news just had a short segment about Colt 2023 season tickets available now. Oh boy. If I heard right, those who already have game tix for this year can turn them in for credit towards next years season tix. That's an interesting sales pitch.

Well that’s great. Eagles lost to the Commanders tonight so now they’ll be suuuuper motivated to come to Indy and kick butt.

Thought the same thing. We knew they had a loss coming just hoped it was next week.

Definitely feels like a “get right” game for them where they beat us by three scores lol

A couple of silver lining points. They are on a short week because of playing tonight. And we do not get a week of Frank Reich coaching against his old team.

Now a possible bad, Reich joins Philly this week and we have to hear all that BS.

They don't need Reich to have all the people in place to beat the Colts. But, it's possible the Colts can muster all that newly rejuvenated energy to at least make it a game

Of course, they did. The way this season has been going I wouldn't expect anything different. lol

My point was not that I was worried he might coach against the Colts, just all the media circus BS that would come if he does.

 

[Colts Ironman]

People can complain all they want about his lack of coaching experience, but I think he had the team re-energized yesterday.

He sure did!!

Wow... just saw on WTHR that some tickets for Sunday's game against Philly are going for $5K!

I have one ticket for any Vet who wants to go. It's a Salute to Service game ticket in section 607. I sit in the 200s but I have the opportunity to give a few away this year for Veterans.

I don’t know if anybody watched the press conference last Monday, but Irsay looked and sounded like the crazy uncle that everyone tries to avoid at Thanksgiving.

So I DM’d a prominent local Colts media member who worked within the Colts organization for several years. I asked him if there was any board of directors or some kind of mechanism in place that Jim could be removed as owner if it’s obvious that he no longer has the mental capacity to run a multi-billion dollar organization.

He replied that there is not. It’s 100% Jim’s team until he steps away or kicks the bucket.

That’s a scary thought. He’s gotten way more brash over the past two or three years. Dare I say it, he’s gotten more like his Dad.

The top GM/scouting/coaching talent is not going to want to come here with him at the helm if he continues his crazy power trip.

Dang, they were just turning things around too.

I just saw that Saturday is only the second Indianapolis Head Coach to win his first game out of 13 total HCs. Jim Caldwell is the other and he inherited a Peyton Manning led team.

Will Jeff Saturday hire become a trend? The answer could come down to money - ProFootballTalk

For years, some NFL head coaches have believed that owners are quietly colluding to keep their salaries lower than they should be, relative to the value the best coaches bring to their teams.Case in point. Lions quarterback Jared Goff‘s contract pays, on average, $33 million per year. Patriots...

Some in media sure are worried about this interim coaching hire. I wonder if many of Florio’s sources are assistant coaches and he is functioning as their mouthpiece?
