Should've kept Steve Wilks 

I didn't want to keep Wilks because I thought we were finally going to land a young up and coming offensive mind like a Ben Johnson or Stane Sheichen. But if you were just going to hire a retread coach, you might as well kept the coach that finally brought some competence back to this team.

I've just given up at this point. We just have too many old heads in the building that the NFL has just past by. We will always be behind the curve when it comes to the modern NFL, ESPECIALLY with Tepper at the helm. Hell, Tepper was like the only one that voted to have Mike Tomlin out. Goes to show you just how fuggin stupid he is. We are in bad hands.

lol you guys are silly, you complained because we didnt tank last year and then now that were tanking, OMG were not gonna win the super bowl this year.  Granted Carolina wont have the 1st pick in the draft but being at the top of the other rounds does make a difference so sit back, relax and enjoy the tank.

Uhhhh what in the actual f*ck did I just read? 

The ENTIRE point in tanking is to get the 1st pick not the 33rd…?

I truly cannot believe this actually needed to be said

It doesn’t matter where we pick in each round. Fitt can’t pick anyone that helps our team.

Tanking is meaningful when you have a 1st. We are complaining because this wasn’t supposed to be a tank year and we gave up our first. Feels like our 1st this year might actually be high enough for a top QB without a trade up and we gave it away. Young better work out but damn we need so much more still.

I think we wanted Ben Johnson until he backed out. The thing is we have a young talented former McVay assistant coach on our staff. Thomas Brown needs to call plays.

Been reading old Indy tweets and looking at stats from his time there. The guy really does start slow. 6-10-1 in September yet 11-5 in December and it’s pretty consistent. 
 

Apparently Colts fans complained about the same things:

-Undisciplined players

-Slow starts

-Sloppy football

-Random hare brained calls with the game on the line. 

All of these slowly improve through our the season.

His catch phrase on his memes are all “It starts with me” which I’ve already noticed him saying a ton.

The Andrew Luck retirement really shell shocked his career from the start, then there is a bunch of blame gaming on QBs that was given to him but it looks like Jonathan Taylor really kept him there the last season or two. And the run offense doesn’t look much different, the OL just plays the zones better and Taylor is a monster. 
 

Ton of comments about him being a push over and yes man for the front office.

The guy I wanted rejected us (Ben J) but I'd be lying if I didn't say I stomached the Reich hire and convinced myself I liked it through the staff he brought in. So then, I accepted it and got excited.

Problem is that we now lost 2, arguably 3, VERY winnable games and Young looks much less ready than anticipated. It's just a sour taste when our flaws are the areas we were primed for the biggest improvement. 

Looking ahead, the upcoming schedule combined with circumstance has us in a bad spot that will get worse.  Just be ready folks.  Jefferson, then Detroit, then Miami.  It could get downright ugly and Reich is obviously not going anywhere in the coming weeks.

Could EASILY be looking at 0-6 going into a stretch with 3 teams that were supposedly on our same "tier": Bears, Texans and Colts.  

This offense needs to be non-Clausen level by that point.  Honestly, sh*t will absolutely hit the fan if we're 0-6 and lose to Stroud to get 0-7.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
