Last Sunday night, I watched Joe Flacco throw a perfect spiral during the Primetime NFL Sunday event in Minnesota at US Bank Stadium. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to Josh Downs, Michael Pittman Jr. or Alec Pierce. It wasn’t even to Jonathon Taylor, Mo Alie-Cox or Kylen Granson either. The perfect spiral that came out of Joe Flacco Sunday night was a death spiral aimed at the Colts organization and their, up until this point, loyal fanbase.
I am not blaming poor old, and yes I mean old, Joe. I have to lay this squarely at the feet of the Colts big muckety mucks over off of 56th Street. Joe was just doing what any old dude would be doing after 9pm on a Sunday night, BEING TIRED! Dude was up way past his nighty-night time because of a bad decision made in the executive lounge of the hallowed halls of fabled Horseshoe Tower (Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center for those of you that didn’t get the joke.) Flacco didn’t need Gatorade after the game, he needed a glass of warm milk. I agreed with the disciplinary move of benching AR for tapping out. I get that. But to punish the fanbase past that is just wrong! Anthony Richardson should have started against the Vikings. We were told this kid was a project and our future. He just needs the reps and the time to learn and he’s going to set this league on its ear. Well, that was the bill of goods we were sold. There was no reason for AR to be on the sideline yawning for the Primetime national audience. Most of the fans had come to the realization that we were going to have ups and downs developing a raw talent. We were promised, he’s the future and he’s special. No, no, no. We are in must win now mode. Or as I like to call it, “Oh shit! I’m about to lose my job” mode.
Now we get to come back home to the Luke and face the Buffalo Bills. And to answer the burning question on everybody’s mind, Duff’s Wings are better than the Anchor Bar’s wings. There I’ve said it. Delicious, assorted chicken parts aside, we get to come home and face a real quarterback in Josh Allen, who has thrown only two interceptions all season long! Our secondary is in for a bad day. As if the Buffalo Bills offense wasn’t scary enough, their defense is one of the league leaders in takeaways and fewest point allowed. Oh boy, that gives me hope and a warm fuzzy feeling. Draftkings only has the Colts getting 4 points in this contest. I think that number is a tad bit low myself when I look at the Bills and their level of play. This game could get out of hand and get out of hand early.
The fanbase that I’ve been talking to are really starting to question what the hell the Colts Brass are thinking starting backup Shane Falco, sorry Joe Flacco again. You F’ed up Colts. Take your lumps and admit it was stupid to bench AR past the one game and start him! Hell, at least run a set of plays with him out on the field. Just having him out there on offense creates havoc for the defenders and defensive coordinators. I know the diehard Horseshoe fans are always going to support the Colts, but how much more is the average fan going to put up with before their hard-earned dollars are spent elsewhere? I really hope the Colts don’t FAAFO.
