Chris Ballard Has FAILED The Indianapolis Colts!

[@diron4646]

Ballaard should have left with Reich

[@MattWilhoit]

Thank you been saying this

[@jamelramseur]

Heavy on this! Ballard, Reich, and Bradley should've gotten the boot

[@TheGoughs]

Can’t wait for the thumbnail to change from Failed to FIRED

[@RCA_Dome]

Fire JT

[@MandosCrest]

I’ve been a colts fan my entire life and this is the first time I can remember being completely numb to them. Until the Colts completely clean house they will be mediocre to bad every year. This is the first year my wife has really gotten into the nfl and shes a big Josh Allen fan now. The colts are so embarrassing and I care so little about them now that my wife actually got me to buy her a Josh Allen jersey for her and I for Christmas. I have no shame about it lol

[@Dspence18]

Same here, even through the bad season without Manning, or the years where Luck got hurt, this has been the first year where I feel checked out? If my wife told me we had plans every sunday the next 3 weeks and I would miss the games its the first time in my 25+ years watching I wouldn’t be upset. Something needs to change

[@peterlois1086]

I hear ya, ive been numb basically since Luck took his neckbeard home. year after year of just stupid decisions, terrible FA pickups, overreaching draft picks and underperforming week after week. I've watched maybe 2 hours of football this year, ive found so many other things to do on Sundays that the NFL just doesnt interest me. How can you sit through this crap every week?

[@THEYTHINKTHEYAREGODS]

Ok 👍 Stay with Buffalo this Year for sure Hopefully this is their Year God knows they Deserve it 🙏 There's no more Hope in Indy anymore with this Group 😂

[@MandosCrest]

@@THEYTHINKTHEYAREGODS agreed lol I don’t want to be a bandwagon fan at all but my God how can I continue to torture myself year after year with this ridiculously incompetent franchise.

[@travisallens242]

We can't get a solid Oline and WR? Trade our idiot RB for some draft picks!!!

[@deanmuhl7417]

Soft management. Soft coaching. Soft playing. Mediocre seasons. A new GM will not keep AR and hang their job on his development. I agree 💯 with your takes on this video. Media needs to hold this team more accountable.

[@zmwright24]

Soft is the right word. Undisciplined. Dropping the ball on the half yard line is a mistake that bottom tier teams make. Marvin never celebrated, because being in the end zone was a normal occurrence.

[@whatarefriends4]

Players thinking they can tap out of games,dropping touchdown balls showboating,penalties. Belichick wasn’t talking about these things

[@bryanweiss8822]

Yes! There is no way a new GM would keeps AR around.

[@ZombieFlanders]

Enough is enough. It's time to clean the house.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

Exactly

[@THEYTHINKTHEYAREGODS]

Time to Use that Plunger 🪠

[@theresidentteacher2438]

What's MORE is he HATES to be Questioned about his Direction.

[@GG-mz7ob]

I've been saying Chris Ballard should've been fired since Matt Ryan failure.

[@user-fp5xt6tv7l]

Imagine building through the draft and not hitting your draft picks

[@terry7342]

I’m shopping my entire roster. Next season. For me even Q Nelson is on the table.

[@stevenevins6495]

I actually feel that way too. 😢 Lol

[@7172509]

I was thinking the same thing and don’t resign Kelly or Pittman .

[@felwinter7883]

​@@7172509both of those guys got recent paychecks.. either they keep them or cut em and take the cap hit

[@drewball6433]

ballard will always be a failure of a gm

[@dabneyoffermein595]

The play-calling in this game had to be the worst I've seen in a long while. It's like Steichen doesn't see the game from 20,000 feet, he only sees his play card and is in a microcosm of the game with blinders on. For example, at a critical juncture in the game where it was about to go off the rails in favor of Denver, Steichen runs on first and 2nd down and we lose a yard in two plays. Now he's put AR in 3rd and 11, it's just not going to go well when you put the QB in a bad situation, AR created his own mess in this game too, no doubt about it, he was atrocious , but Steichen was equally horrible.

[@rondesantis8618]

Steichan has been a huge disappointment all year. He's grossly over-rated.

[@AH-dd4wj]

considering how piss poor are pass blocking is it's wild the amount of deep route concepts we run. AR is forced to scramble every play because he doesn't have time to let the play develop and no one is open. Yeah AR misses a couple passes he should be making, but generally everyone is blanketed and he's forced to throw a laser, throw it away, or take off. Schematically we have problem.

[@kingkracker1998]

shane has been really bad this year, ALL YR. even the 4rth and 6 with 8 mins left down 11. PUNT that shit, get aa 3n out FLIP THE FUCKING FIELD!but nope, they went for it, turn the ball over, D got a 3 n out, now we get the ball back inside our own 20. they flipped the field. how shane didnt realize, denver cANT MOVE THE BALL EITHER, our D was balling. let our D get us good field position and get the ball back with 6 or 7 mins left to get 2 scoring drives. i thought this in the moment

[@TweMcgraw]

He doesn't think any corner is worth a first round pick...doesn't want to get names from free agency. Stubborn it's his way or the highway. Should of been gone

[@orithian]

I promise like today we need breaking news frfr

[@brucecox5025]

Fire Chris Ballard 🔥 Fire Chris Ballard 🔥 Fire Chris Ballard 🔥 🎶 🙌 👌 😎

[@mike7933]

Everyone is on the chopping block, ridiculous. Our vets have failed AR. Time to clean house and get rid of Ballard.

[@deepshah384]

Honest to god, AR has looked great compared to the games earlier in the season but he has no help

[@orithian]

Ballard needs to be breaking news today !!!!!!

[@kingkracker1998]

id love to see aa clear picture that JT did drop the ball b4 the line. u knoww the football dont have to fully cross the line, where the white starts is the endzone. i still think he scored there. Refs have been and were looking for any reason to call something. remember when it used to be, if its not clear that call on the field stands? the 2 angles they showed us, wasnt clear. never saw the down the line view.

[@Kash_Munni]

I'm with you on this, if someone was close to Taylor or took a swing at his arm I could possibly see it being reversed.

[@dylandurnal6544]

Thank you cody. Im s huge supporter of both you guys and Jason.

[@YeetsByJey]

Your guest hit the nail on the head with the PTSD comment when it comes to the Colts going into must-win games

[@coltonlombardo4673]

Been a Colts fan my whole life. This isn’t even close to the same organization I’ve always loved. Moving on.

[@kingkracker1998]

well, dont have Payton here anymore lol demanding more from every1 around, even the coaches

[@whatarefriends4]

Ballard surely will be fired. Shane needs to be fired. Jonathan Taylor needs to be traded. The ball boy needs to pack his bags. Everybody get your shit out of the building!

[@MegaHead1984]

If Ballard has any self respect, he’ll announce he’s parting ways in his end of year press conference

[@coachRJ_]

This is all on Jim. He’s the one that makes all final decisions just like Jerry with Dallas. We brought in Jeff 2 years ago. You can’t tell me that’s what Chris wanted. Everything y’all said was on point just blaming a wrong guy

[@MichaelMyers-tg9uh]

As long as the owner doesn't give a fuck about winning , this team will 4ever be like this 😤💯

[@mountaincactus2573]

Ballard has got to go

[@brandonlogan397]

As a long time colts fan this game just killed me. Hope-failure Hope-failure it’s just a cycle! We need to clean house immediately! We cannot execute!!!

[@1mandynasty727]

They best way to send a message is hitting the billionaire boss in his pockets absolutely stop going to games stop buying jerseys stop putting money on this garbage product that has to be done in the last 3 games for changes to be made

[@MikeParker86]

We need to stop spending money on this team. If we hurt their pockets then they will make a change

[@bmoreguy3976]

Look, I'm from Baltimore, so do yall know how much hate I get for being a Colts fan, especially since the Ravens have been good for a while? My feelings on this team are that the organization doesn't care, the front office does not care, and some players don't care, so why should we wait until Everoyne cares? I'm over it.

[@zachavary7536]

Jason has me ready to go out there and play linebacker

[@eddepina3620]

no way Ballard keeps his job he failed this team again and again, dude didnt evrn try to improve team "we like our guys" even tho we missed the playoff every season with same players he's a failure

[@gwgrappler]

Mr nice guy Ballard had me sold far too long! His record shows he cannot build a team. He needs to go, now! Several star players need to be put on auction block as well.

[@Anthonyyoung3679]

I mean what has he accomplished since being the GM honestly we haven’t had a good GM since Polian nd my god ik all TRUE colts fans heavily miss him

[@larrylarry9278]

Get rid of Ballard and his team and take a good look at a lot of the players , people are getting tired of watching them loose .

[@7172509]

You are absolutely right the captains on this team make too much money with not much production to show. Don’t resign Kelly or Pittman and as much as I still love JT, they should try and trade him while he still has pretty good value.

[@yeevang15]

It’s time to really move on from Ballard. If we keep him, we are back to square one… Time to get a new GM, time to make Colts great again!

[@lbdlars4484]

Vrabel was a great coach. I don't get why he isn't one now. He did what he did in Tennessee with Ryan Tannehill. Yeah he had Derrick Henry, but we've had Jonathan Taylor. Everything went to hell when they traded AJ Brown, that wasn't his fault. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him in, at this point. He's a culture setter.

[@williambrent9173]

Chris Ballard Is A Complete Failure An Ballard Needs To Go! Clean House 💙🤍💙

[@DexlerPeleiupu-tp2uq]

I remember this job before when i used to work at seems very relatable to our team, that i was interviewing by this company general manager and got hired went through the hiring process. My first day in yhe job everyone was looking at me weird because the general manager that hired me was fired right after my interview the same day. I was shocked and speechless....I heard coworkers talking saying the general manager that hires me misunderstood a lot of work stuff and keep messing up customers order. Now i got introduced to a new general manager who's was a company union senior truck driver that has experience with work and customer service. This GM has no idea who i am and my resume but go through what the HR corporate sends him about me 😆. It's very strange to fired somebody at your new job for the best of the company. Hopefully our team will do what we gotta do to our GM for the best of the team.

[@celebratelife3754]

We missed out on Jalen Hurts and DK Metcalf over nothing

[@Joel-zy2zw]

It is refreshing to see the discord from the fans of the Colts, Jags and Titans fan boards. For Texan fans it’s nice to see we are not part of this type of discord anymore!

[@jasonkappaone]

Well when Cj Stroud Just keeps having great regular seasons just to go to the playoffs every year and get BOUNCED every year, you’ll be in the same boat, it’s already happened once, Stay tuned reality will kick in soon when yall still don’t win any superbowls

[@InceleHubby]

Ballard + Bradley = Failure to win. Sit Taylor to let him stew on the bench to think about his high-priced actions. Get someone to call plays that understands both OUR & opponents strengths & weaknesses to set a gameplan for each opponent. Need to get coaches that know how to motivate players. Colts have had WAY too much potential without achievement. Horrible example of accountability. Irsay or daughter needs to change things positively.

[@burgermane1364]

I’m all aboard getting rid of Ballard, Bradley, & Shane (especially if the new GM wants his guy) but who would we get?

[@manuelflores9399]

I might as well go 4 the texans😊😮😢 because im from TX

[@phatmartyplays332]

Only bright side to yesterdays crap show is that it brought the 2 best Colt podcasters together for a video to call out Ballards bs

[@ShaneGregory-b4u]

Ballard looks at a loss as a move up in the draft this is awfull humiliation

[@clint7210]

This is much more than Ballard's issues, however he is the first that needs to go if we want accountability. But because of the crap show we got, I'm not sure a decent GM gonna want a part of this. Unless it's a rebuild completely, and that includes revealuating coaching and players ALL players. QB imcluded.

[@Michael-Gaskin]

I have said it before and will say it again, when you bring back a mediocre team over and over again with only a few great players(Buck and Q) you will not have a good team. Yes this team has good building blocks in place but we also have overpay on several guys only because we drafted them. I used to love Ballard but he has been horrible. This team is bad overall and needs a huge overhaul. Remember when Frank lost the locker room, ya that exact same team is here with very minor changes. We also need to stop with the coordinators being a head coach. I remember everyone laughed when the Lions hired Dan Campbell because he didn’t run an offense or defense, but he is a natural leader and allows his coordinators to do their job so he can do his. Vrabel was the same way. There is so much bs going on and everyone has become numb to it. We have become the new Browns or Raiders that’s a complete dumpster fire with minor hope

[@williemcglaston261]

I am glad everybody is pissed. We have to demand better.

[@NoFretA1]

Truthfully I’ve been a Colts fan since I was 12 years old and that was 1998. I’ve seen enough. We should never have lost that game yesterday.

[@BillyMccurrie-v7j]

Yes I'm so Tired of losing But AR can be helped but Defense cor need to change GM need to go hold this team to a Different standard we the Fans are not excited about the Colts for 10 years now n don't draft TE with ur first Defense player to get at QB or safety

[@Chessman27]

I'm so glad that this season is coming to an end. Chris Ballard needs to be the first out the door. To be honest and fair, Indianapolis should've gotten rid of him and Frank and Matt Eberflus at the same time.

[@jeroka204]

Now, its an ownership issue.

[@brucetaylor9161]

It’s like you think you got the car running good then a cylinder misfires over and over

[@mrcharlesjohnson]

Great episode!

[@BigTony35]

I’m completely done with this team until this clown is ran out of Indy. He and the players that he continually brings back are responsible for the collapse every single season. I don’t even have hope going into big games because I know that this team will always give away the big must win game. They always do in the Chris Ballard era

[@jamescrawford5330]

Perfectly analyzed!!!…like you, the first two plays of that drive had me talking to my laptop🤬🤬…unbelievable….clearly sent a message that we don’t care about winning!! 3rd and 11 for a QB with a 40% completion percentage and no Dulin and Pierce out. Suicide!!🙏

[@stevenevins6495]

As a lifelong Colts fan, this has to be the worst it's been. Even the early Indy era. Dysfunction is the word. With the talent on the team, how do y'all think a better coaching staff could do with them? I feel like they're better than the schemes. Go Colts

[@RayToaetolu]

As a football player myself I don't like celebrating to much after every first down or td, the game ain't over yet and these guys look foward to celebrating everytime they make a good play. I understand we live in a different time now but why do you have to celebrate all the time??? Win the game and then celebrate. This is why you are losing. To much celebrating stay focus. Execute!! Wtf is so hard about that? There are too many mistakes!!!

[@JKCougar]

Ballard needs to go, I still think Irsay is going to retain him for some dumb reason.

[@burgermane1364]

Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Either Ballard is or Irsay is, and hopefully it’s the guy that can get fired

[@dakotachambers3163]

My favorite idea is Firing steichan bringing in cignetti Firing Ballard bringing in an aggressive GM Have AR work with manning over the offseason Trade up and get Travis hunter But you know those are just hopes and dreams

[@thenextchallenger4341]

Players do not want to play for Indy. I do know its hard to compete with states like Florida and its no income tax. However, we have bright and shiny facilities. THAT ISNT ENOUGH there is no reason to settle for mediocrity. I'm not a ban-wagon by any means. that being said I no longer live in Indy and I want to always be a fan. if we can not take this seriously I will change to being a browns fan. watch me! its where i live now and they don't win either but still. I'm so tired of seeing these great team comps. yet we cant manage to not look like a joke in the AFC south. why are we letting overpaid Qb's (Jacksonville) a terrible team (titans) and rookie qb, and head coach (Houston) beat us regularly. This goes way beyond the players. There is 0 accountability. We need new leadership ASAP. I'm being dead serious when i say this. If ownership waits till the end of the season to make changes. We will be experiencing the same crap next year and I'm not sure I want to endure it again. Get a new GM NOW! Let them get into the building over the remainder of the season. To observe some issues and make changes as they see fit going into our off season. I'm down for a boycott of last 3 games!

[@ShermanElder-n6y]

The colts are a laughing stock because they put all there eggs in this season

[@tylermurray2341]

I thought this was a "fired" video at first glance of the thumbnail

[@a-void6774]

Failed is putting it nicely. It's been an unmitigated disaster. Any other GM with one playoff win in 8 years would have been fired a long time ago

[@gordyhamilton137]

If you fire Ballard Steichen must go too.

[@manitheman0806]

and AR

[@robloxkid1o113]

No keep Steichen

[@joshualayfield768]

FIRE HIM NOW PLEASE. Yo has had literal free reign to do whatever while Mr. Irsay was dealing with his health. The state of the team is tragic.

[@louissa2623]

I don’t even look forward to the Colts on Sunday. I care more about my fantasy teams than the Colts which never used to be the case.

[@MrJ567]

I'm not watching another Colts game until Ballard is fired. I'm done.

[@brandonlampe1323]

I knows Steichen has been very underwhelming this year. But this roster construction does not help the coach or AR. The back to back offensive turnovers from your guys that you paid is what killed the game. I just want a new GM to evaluate everything and give AR the best chance to succeed because we are failing this kid. Because you need to play him next year to truly evaluate everything. If he is bad you move on in 2026 and get Arch or Drew Allar the year after with a new everything.

[@bobbyd1897]

I'm done with the colts until Ballard is gone I will not spend another dime on the horse shoe until he gone

[@travisfink8174]

Minute 17 hit the nail on the head. I don't even prioritize watching the games anymore. I share season tickets with my brother-in-law and I don't even know I want to keep them after next year (we already committed the money for next year). They jack up the prices just for us to get a sub-par product. I can't get excited about this team anymore. It's a dumpster fire but at least a dumpster fire provides warmth. This team is just a soggy wet sock. Nothing positive about it, nothing redeeming. Just gross, uncomfortable and needs to be aired out to be functional again.

[@nmitrading]

Ballard is a snake oil gm conman. I wanted him gone after year 3 I could smell his bs that normal fans were eating up from a mile away

[@JU57US]

I know I'm out on a limb with this take, but I don't think Ballard is the problem. If the Colts beat Denver, nobody is talking about this in this way. And what would a GM have done differently about that game?

[@alexw7677]

We have sucked so bad the last few years that I have legit not been excited for Colts games… it’s not like the early to mid 2000s when Peyton was lighting the field up… if the management doesnt care, then why should I

[@joeystickler3929]

I mean what does it take to get guys to catch the freaking ball

[@derricktaylor2887]

Chris shouldn't have been there in the first place.

[@bigike33]

Should have been fired the second he drafted AR @4. Nobody was going to draft that guy until the middle rounds

[@MattBurger-js2cn]

“I gotta be better” and guess what nothing changed not player not coaching not his strategies and guess what we get the same thing as the last few years not shocked at all

[@josephwilkerson3071]

Holy shit there’s a lot of bandwagons in here!

[@jasonshearer4155]

I agree something has to change

[@JimmieCarter-ly4jg]

Jim Irsay doesn’t care about this team anymore

[@hcuhoustonchristiansunited3877]

He is the issue….he can’t pick

[@swivleclan523]

What I would give for luck and Ty back 😢

[@robloxkid1o113]

I agree

[@nariousdixon933]

Yeah, the standard has really dropped for this team. Even alot of us fans have fallen prey to this. Many of us got excited over one point wins over the jets and patriots. This team is average at best and its getting harder to see things changing as time goes by.

[@gearyderochea-bh2oh]

That pass that pierce dropped in the end zone,was pass interference, no flag ,this game was rigged from the beginning

[@kingkracker1998]

spent WAY too much time on Frank Riech. bringing in the scrubs he wanted to coach to play QB. that fucked this team really bad. u cant do anything until u have the QB, to many fans dont understand that

[@peytonbedwell9883]

AR must develop so we must win these last 3 games if it wasn’t for that I’d root for losing

[@79glane928]

That shit we saw yesterday is purely poor coaching.

[@TomWakeman-ul7om]

It was 5 turnovers The players made on the field .

[@gwgrappler]

I’ve not been too keen on players doing podcasts during the season myself. Seems a bit of a conflict of interest to a degree.

[@nathanwilliams5290]

What epitomizes Ballard’s reign to me is his 1st pick this year . The consensus pick was Quinyon Mitchell . But no , he’s too smart to do that . He picks Latu . How’s that working out so far. Pro bowl , generational talent vrs another mediocre DE . Hell , he could have drafted Worthy or Thomas but of course he drafted a gem in the 2nd round. He’s made some good picks but it’s balanced by his bad ones and his arrogant refusal to address obvious problems creates serious roster problems. What you’re left with is mediocrity. Not good , not bad . If you’re fine with 9-8 or 8-9 , he’s your man.

[@JimmieCarter-ly4jg]

If only we had the ravens here in Indy instead of

[@JimmieCarter-ly4jg]

I said that all the time. I’m tired hearing the same shid from the GM (WERE GONNA BE BETTER) and head coach ( ITS ON ME) bs. Action speaks louder than words for god sake smh

[@michaelhoward9411]

Let's be honest the visiting teams has had more fans at our home games this year. The bears and steelers game stand out for sure. It's just disfunction from top to bottom.

[@michaelhoward9411]

And to second that...2 of the last 3 wins have been the young inexperienced qb putting a team of vets and highly paid players on his back...basically no help from skill players. It's inexcusable. He shouldn't have to play super hero on this teams for us to win.

[@swivleclan523]

Oh my gosh is that my og podcast creator I loved that podcast 😢

[@michaelnteague]

New GM, let them decide on Coaches and players. If they keep SS and AR, cool. If not, also cool. I also realize AR has had little help, but he is just not it for me.

[@earlmiles6334]

Keep it up Irsay & it will be Baltimore all over again. Empty stands and Mayflower moving vans. We need change!

[@GenesofKings]

Why are blaming the GM and not the coaches and the under utilization of the talent provided. I’m with you guys on the free agency tip, but drafting has actually been good. AD Mitchell would start on several teams, bad tackling and horrible situational football has been our real problem.

[@rubenking4108]

I would fire GM, Coach and cut many of the current players. See if you can get a top GM and coach. To rebuild..

[@ShermanElder-n6y]

They need to clean up house get a new QB in college
