Colts Reacts Survey Outcomes Attain Rockbottom: Common Season Finale
The Indianapolis Colts’ disappointing 2024 marketing campaign shall be lastly put to relaxation after Sunday’s common season finale in opposition to the Jacksonville Jaguars—and the playoffs fully out of the image.
In case you’re a Colts fan, the arrogance within the course of the franchise has hit primarily all-time low, as solely 4% of the Horseshoe Trustworthy imagine that the group is headed in the precise course—which is down from the already fairly low 24% coming into final weekend.

It’s arduous accountable the surveyed Colts followers both, as Indianapolis suffered one other embarrassing late season loss, which ended their playoff hopes for good to the then 2-13 New York Giants final weekend on the highway within the Huge Apple.
It wasn’t a final second loss both, because the Colts soundly misplaced by double-digits and have been totally outplayed from a fundamentals, hustle, and execution standpoint.
I hate to beat a useless horse right here (that are this 12 months’s Colts!), however the Horseshoe Trustworthy are clearly stressed proper now as the present established order at W. 56th road has gotten stale—and easily hasn’t labored out. Anticipating dissimilar outcomes with the identical method appears futile.
The group hasn’t made the playoffs since 2020 and have but to win a division title since 2014, whereas each different rival within the AFC South has performed it at the least twice since then. The franchise has simply two playoff appearances and one sole playoff win over the previous decade.
Not solely is the expertise of the roster merely not ok to constantly win in opposition to the NFL’s higher competitors, however the Colts seem to have a management, tradition, and accountability difficulty inside their very own locker room and group headquarters.
From top-to-bottom, this group must do loads of soul-searching this offseason and determine who they need to try to be going ahead—whereas significant strikes are arguably wanted to convey some contemporary perspective, vitality, and roster-building philosophies.
