Colts fans were frustrated with losing again to the Broncos on Sunday afternoon. With Indianapolis on the verge of missing the playoffs once again, the fanbase is angering their frustration on general manager Chris Ballard. This is what some of the fans had to say about the loss against Denver:
Can we agree that Ballard needs to go?

I’m sure I can speak for every Colts fan. We’re sick of mediocrity. Time for big changes.
— INDY FAN (@NPoalson) December 16, 2024
There were a lot of unpleasant moments in this game. And that’s saying it nicely.

Lots of mistakes but it all starts with Ballard, he’s too soft. Only acts tough in front of the media. That’s why there’s no sense of accountability

He has been the general manager of the Indianapolis Colts since the 2017 season. Assuming Indianapolis misses the playoffs this season, it is time for them to make a change at the general manager spot. Ballard has been around for eight seasons, but they need a new man in charge of personnel decisions.
Anthony Richardson Issues

The final straw with Ballard is how bad Anthony Richardson has been for them. Richardson completed 17-of-38 passes for 172 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. He is an athlete who belongs in the NFL but is not a good quarterback.
Anthony Richardson was the fourth-overall pick from the Florida Gators in the 2023 NFL Draft. Missing on Richardson isn’t the lone mistake Ballard has made. He has missed on other draft picks and NFL signings and that is why he will be fired at the end of the season potentially.
