Just feels like this every day now, ever since Tepper took over.

I have to admit to myself that I haven't been very happy with much of anything since he took over. Firing Hurney (a year too late) was a positive but most everything else seems like it's been a step down from everything previous. Hell, even the coach is a step down from the previous coach even though I was not a huge fan of the previous coach at the end of his tenure but somehow Tepper found a way to find someone a huge step down from Rivera.

I didn't expect him to be some lovable billionaire that would embrace the QC and team, but man, it feels like every move he's made has been the wrong one.  Hurney, Rivera, Cam, Rhule, QBs, the whole coaching search in general, the whole in-game experience side, strange stadium renovations, organizational moves.  

It has never felt like there was a strong framework put in place to execute when he got here and has just been winging it because it's his team and his prerogative.  It's a very cold place inside this fandome.

Tepper has made it abundantly clear that he is clueless.

I remember him telling us that what he cared about most was winning.

Practice has told us that what he cares about most is his ego.

Yep. This 100%. The only reason he actually cares about losing is said ego.

Yet his ego wouldn't let him fire Rhule after signing him to that foolish contract.

I think it was his ego that hired Rhule in the first place.

He had to make a big splashy move and do something different than everyone else was doing just to draw attention to himself. That way when he succeeded where others had failed, he could thump his chest and point to how great he was.

Except he didn't...because he isn't.

He may, in fact, be one of the dumbest owners in the league.

I've said before that Tepper is used to just being able to "big ball" his way through everything. He probably thought he could do that in the NFL too.

Not going that well so far...

    • He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb. 
    • Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.
    • I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
