So you can be an NFL player in a legal state and have weed but when you do it in an illegal state it’s a problem. No one cares about weed except cops trying to get paid dude.

Chris Ballard is out, and Shane Steichen could be next if the Colts can't turn their season around. Indianapolis has lost 10 straight games against teams that finished .500 or better. Can Steichen's team pull off an upset against the undefeated Vikings and their league-best defense?

It’s easy to say “Trade everyone, burn it all down!” But the truth is tanking won’t help us because we have no picks and trading a blue-chip player like JT for a 3rd-rounder will do more to hurt than help.

Factoring in talent, salary, age, number of years remaining on contract, what would you consider reasonable compensation for each of the following players?

Taylor

Nelson

Buckner

Warren

Sauce

Ward

Bynum

Jones

Richardson

Bortolini

Raimann

I think we can all agree that the team wasn’t given nearly enough time before they moved on from the GM

The team will be pissed off and motivated. They’ve responded really well to adversity in the past, and I think they do again this time as well.

The Vikings also might be the worst 5-0 team ever. They’ve beat up on bad offenses and their own offense can’t move the ball.

Colts win 27-6

Now I know people are wrapped up in the trade dead line coming up but I honestly hope we don’t trade anybody (except Buckner if he really wants out, out of respect) until we know what we’re getting. If we trade a player like JT I would much rather it happen on draft night, particularly if we see a QB that happens to fall late in the 1st and we want to move up and snag him. I feel like unless players are demanding out, trading them now feels pointless. I get that it would be easier to entice the new GM if we had more draft capital but imagine they will (most likely) understand they can acquire picks by trading away whoever, especially if that’s conveyed by the Carlie off the bat. They’ll have more time to assess the roster and more flexibility rather than just doing the best with what they have handed to them. Let the new GM decide who he wants to keep.

Okay so I’m not super plugged into what’s up with you guys week to week, but it’s always seemed to me like Indy has had some really good players/pieces but underachieved, and that they‘ve mainly just been a franchise QB and really good HC away from being a real contender. I’ve heard people wanting Ballard’s head on a stick for a long time, but never thought lack of overall talent was the main issue post-Luck.

I might sound like an idiot here, but it’s a genuine question: Are the rosters just horribly top-heavy past first glance? Is the Richardson pick just a fireable offense despite the surrounding track record? One area I can see where frustration would grow over a period of years is its seemed from the outside looking in that he’s had a bit of a “add surrounding pieces first, find a QB to drive it later” philosophy that Pittsburgh has had post-Roethlisberger for example.

I may be in the minority on this but the guy is overrated. Definitely worth the picks right

Watch them suspend him because he’s the only one on the team that gets “held accountable” by Shane

Think about it. Every year he has been here, he has never played in Jacksonville. I think if we start him that game, we will win!

Its up to CIG. I doubt she goes the Jerry Jones route. Theres a lot of pressure that goes along with being the first women GM of the NFL. Anyone speculating she takes the reigns needs to understand it would be a temporary move untill she finds the right fit. If she takes the role it will be a one year transitional thing.

Are we sure Carlie isn't planning to play GM/Head Coach in the near future? With how unconventional she's been with being on the sidelines, learning the calls, learning plays, schemes, etc. I wouldn't be shocked if she attempted a season in the Belichick type role. Do I think this will happen? No. But if she wanted to tank for our first rounder next year and place the blame on herself. Why not?

I knew Anthony Richardson wouldn’t do nothing like that!!!
