“generational athlete” I think a 6-6 250lbs guy running 4.4 qualifies as that…

He obviously hasn’t produced to his level of talent and draft position that’s why I say buy low…Atlanta either extends him or trades this offseason and I don’t think they can afford to keep him w their cap situation…that’s why you can get him for probably a 3rd round pick or better

Also as good as warren is he’s simply not a top 15 pick as a TE…you need to be special to warrant that at that position…he’s Pat freiermuth level and fannin might be better

You can point out the freakish measurables and combine stats, but what is Pitts doing on the field currently? I see effort being his main issue more-so than the Falcons holding him back. Generational talents usually have a higher price tag attached to them, even if they could benefit better with an environment change.

I’m not even sure why the Colts would want a reclamation project at the TE1 position over someone who could very well make an impact on Day 1 and be a go-to safety blanket for Anthony.

Fannin is good, but doesn’t have the blocking capabilities that Warren and Loveland have. They’re very much worthy of being mid-to-late first round guys.

Easily the most frustrating game of the season

Steichen keeps trending towards Frank Reich v2. You never call a double pass in that situation. Even going run run run FG makes it a one score game. How is that play even in the game plan considering AD was seemingly only in the game due to Pierce's injury. Was this practiced?

Worse than the Houston game when he called the pass before halftime that lead to the interception. Worse than last year when we put our season a Tyler Goodson catch. I can't even remember all the dumb shyt he's pulled.

• Gus Bradley is the most criticized coach on the team, but you could argue the defense has been the best unit. Not an endorsement.
• I swear JT doesn't even celebrate Touchdowns so no idea how it's him fumbling there.
• Mid Pittman Jr is one of my least favorite Colts. What a waste.
• Offensive line was on Texans time today. How do you get holding on back to back plays.
• AR needs to be better. Tough defense and the team (aside from D) did him no favors. It's cool that he can shrug off a DT and escape, but why is the line always breaking down?

Another year of 9-8 or 8-9 barely missing the postseason. At least we'll hopefully get a few more games to evaluate AR.

Fire Ballard and let someone else have a go. Fine with the new GM cleaning out the coaching staff too.

What stuck out to me the most from tonight’s loss was that it wasn’t one of those “Aw shucks, we were really close” type of games that Ballard loves to spin into a good thing during his end-of-season pressers. It was a complete and utter collapse by all three facets of the team. Even with the game out of reach, they still couldn’t get anything going.

If the Colts clean house, they better go all the way. No keeping Ed Dodds or Morocco Brown around because they’re nice guys. They would limit GM prospects who want to bring in their own guys if Irsay forces Steichen on the next man in line.

Carlie has been job shadowing on the sidelines with the team for years now. It may be time for her to take the reins from Jim.
