1. Sound off — give us your thoughts on this loss!

2. AR is trash he did good against bad defenses and he's a quitter that's embarrassing

3. The vibes on the offensive sideline are TERRIBLE. Flacco walking away from Steichen, no active dialogues, bad body language. Steichen seems like he’s out of answers and it’s only year 2.

4. It's the head coach holding the colts down richardson is a winner Shane just wants as much attention, as possible, Flacco was a good quarterback, not anymore richardson is in the n.f.l. now find a fastpaced team richardson is a star Q.B. ALL COACHING PROBLEMS THE BALLS IN SHANES COURT RICHARDSON IS DAMN GOOD STEICHEN NEEDS TO BE SENT PACKING SOON.

5. Steichen trash. Draft picks should never feel confident when being selected by this organization. Especially under this staff.. giving up on a 22yr old QB with 10 games played is sad. 39yr old QB Flacco is stupid.. hasn’t won a damn thing of importance in a decade plus at this point. Last playoff win was 12yrs ago. Last .500 season as a starter was 10yrs ago.. and they went 8-8.. quit acting like Flacco is elite even years ago. Flacco season ended last season with back to back pick 6s.. lmao

6. The problem was the Vikings defence. They made it chaotic to the point that the offence was off-balance all night. AR has a much lower floor than Flacco, so who knows how many ints he would have tossed.

7. I told them last week that this will blow up in their faces. The colts aren’t ready to win big so why not develop your number 4 pick?

8. The move to Flacco may go down as the worst move in the Ballard era.. Honestly, you draft AR at 4 and give him 10 games to develop. Yes, his completion percentage was abysmal. But, you knew that was an issue when you drafted him at 4. So, to give up on the kid shows you don't know what you're doing. This is a massive indictment on Ballard and Steichen. They are on the hot seat

9. Get Joe old ass in a retirement home…….. #FreeAR5

10. We need to fire Ballard I just want something new I’m so fucking depressed

11. Of course they wanted a white quarter back

12. AR is 5-5 as a starter. not bad at all. with all his flaws. colts and Shane hopefully gone at end of the season .

13. Flacco got himself sacked 3 times on that last drive

14. You guys neeed to trade for Kenny Pickett

15. Omg… what do u people want

16. Hello guys, this colts team is a very boring team to watch. they’re so dysfunctional in what they do. And I think it’s time to get rid of Tayler, yes I said it, I think he went out of the game hurt again, this guy hasn’t gotten any better, he’s always hurt, I think it’s time to think about trading him. he’s just not looking good anymore. I don’t care how good Minnesota’s defense is. any other running back would at least put up some chunk yards on this team. they should’ve never let go of moss. that’s where they screwed up at. have a great day guys.!!

17. Oh by the way, you would think as long as Ellinger has been on the bench, he would have learned something by now, hell stick him in see what happens.

18. Ballard has got to go. Hopefully this gets him out earlier. Totally checked out on this team while he’s leading this mess.

19. guys Flacco got put in when we face our toughest game …receivers are incapable of getting open…. run game was none existent…. Joe was NOT great but he was hitting guys a decent amount when they got open….ohhh and the O line sucked

20. We have all but abandoned the TE game….

21. There’s no way you watched every game this season (even when Flacco played) you thought he was the answer.

22. The failure of the Colt offense rests squarely on the shoulders of Shane Steichen. His lack of imagination in designing an offense around a young and inexperienced QB that accentuates his strengths rather than exploit his weaknesses is glaring. He put AR in a position of failure by not recognizing this. Ballard's failures as GM are pretty evident as well. It's not a good situation.

23. Put ehlinger in

24. Put Richardson back in there and bring back the Wishbone!!!

25. Flacco usually throws the ball downfield, but he only did that once or twice. I didn't mind the switch, but AR needs to be re-inserted as starter ASAP. I think he learned he can't tap out for fatigue, and he showed a lot of maturity when he was high-fiving the team as they went into the tunnel at halftime. Steichen might need to give up playcalling to Cooter as well, but AR should be the starter going forward.

26. @jasonkappaone Interested seeing how the colt’s made the decision based off the production by the QB yes colts probably should’ve won this gme just like the rest of the gmes thy played considering thy were in all of these gmes. This season is wut it is and I still believe in this team we’ll see wut happens.

27. dam coaching is the biggest problem bad play calling shit show

28. Been saying it.. We can replace AR with flacco which there is good argument for, but it doesn't anywhere near solve all our problems. Coaching, play calling, and receivers are an issue. Whole offense is an issue that steichen needs to get figured out asap
