• 0:14
  [SPEAKER_01]: And it's only on the Central Indiana Sports Report.
• 0:17
  [SPEAKER_01]: I said it right that time.

  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back Colts fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report for a special edition of the Colts Report with Will Rutherford.
• 0:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: His reaction to the Colts lost to the 49ers, there's 41 seconds to go, it's 48 to 27.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: 49ers are wienling out the game, and the game is over, 4827 is the final.
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Colts season mathematically isn't over, but is over will your immediate reaction.
• 0:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, just didn't play good enough defensively, they, you know, 27 points should be enough for your team to win a game.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Most, most Sundays and our Mondays and just weren't good enough.
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: The 49ers had every answer on third down.
• 1:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: They had every answer on the early downs.
• 1:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: They ran the ball well.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: They played a great play action game.
• 1:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: They received us caught the ball.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: The cults just couldn't have covered their own shadows.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: To be quite honest with you, there was just a lot of miscoverges.
• 1:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of blown coverges.
• 1:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, that's, I would work in this league if you're not on your best, you're going to get exposed.
• 1:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: All true, to be fair, they gave up 48 points, but they also turned over, gave the 49ers good field position, a punt return gave them a good field position.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't all the defense.
• 1:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was a pretty bad performance all the way around, of course you also had a quarterback who couldn't complete a pass over 15 yards, which allowed the defense to key on Jonathan Taylor and it was just a mess from, from top to bottom, I know they scored 27 points, but that was full score.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: We've talked a lot about River's limitations.
• 2:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they missed a touchdown on Tyler worn on third down that Tyler wore and the ball just doesn't get to him.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's wide open.
• 2:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: He walks into the ins and if it's a well-placed ball and River's gets happy feet just can't deliver a strike to him.
• 2:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like that's the type of place early in games that kind of make it more difficult to come back.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the difference between seven and a field goal.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought Groupy was good, you know, he came in and took care of his job.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the cults offensively, I agree.
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: times where you just wish in the quarterback could have really stood in there and delivered a strong ball.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought the river is as a whole played well and he's not the reason they lost with a been nice for either warned to not turn his head so early and, you know, that last route and kind of give it away on what they're doing.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: The end of the day, you kind of hope your quarterback maybe doesn't throw that ball knowing that you've got a linebacker with this, you know, feet playing in the ground, moving upfield to make a play on it.
• 2:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: everything that could have gone wrong there at the end went wrong and the course just did play well enough to win today as it came.
• 3:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: On 15 yards and in passes rivers was nearly perfect.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I did perfectly nearly every time, but nothing past that was Michael Pippman was a complete non-factor for the second week in a row.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: How there weren't non-factor and you know 30.
• 3:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Tyler warns kind of found out rookie law that he's in right now or you know the long season I just don't think to the he's he's Chris and there are a couple balls where it's like I understand the you know hospital balls and you know getting put in bad spots but you're going to get blown up either way you'd like to see him come down football.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: disappointing for Jonathan Taylor because they are able to key and he had such a good season going and that's kind of just gone down the drain now.
• 3:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's all for not.
• 3:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: Even tonight, man, he made a lot of really good runs where he made two or three guys missing.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: But there was just no room.
• 3:56
  [SPEAKER_01]: No room to run at all.
• 4:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just disappointing.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's so beat up there every team is he 49ers are banged up there without three of their top defensive players as well.
• 4:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: So there's no excuse.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: The cults just didn't.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: didn't play well enough and they've got been exposed.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: They played good teams and played very well the last two months.
• 4:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have nobody to really blame but themselves.
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: They can go in there and take care of business.
• 4:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: They could have won in Seattle, which would have believed a lot of stress even these last three weeks.
• 4:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't play as much pressure on games like this.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you're at home on Monday night football.
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: You go when you take the ball, you score the first possession.
• 4:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have a ton of momentum.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then the defense just comes up and berries their hand in the sand, head in the sand, and can't make a play.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_01]: made one play all night, and then the 49ers came back with a defensive player of their own way.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Anthony Golds been out, and that's why a mere dualist taken kickoff, and it's just like little things like that that just added on top of each other.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: The professionals, it's not like a mere dual, tried to fumble it just would have been nice to maybe protect the ball with two hands, it anticipating compact.
• 5:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: just really difficult your offense goes and puts seven on the board.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: They, by the time they step back on the field, it's 14 seven.
• 5:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's disappointing and they played from behind the entire game.
• 5:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: If I were Shane Stike in there in the unit second quarter.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think I would have gone for it a few times on fourth and short because he just could tell from the beginning of the game, this defense wasn't stopping the 49ers, the 49ers got the ball, they were going to score.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: The only possession they didn't score on was the one that missed the 64 yard field goal on the possession at the end of the game with the interception and then the knee louts.
• 5:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I will say this for the cold defense.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: They can't stop running back like Christian McCaffrey with the personnel they have.
• 5:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's impossible.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And then when you throw on top of that, the both of their star corners are out.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was pretty predictable, as I said in the preview.
• 5:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: The McCaffrey was going to do whatever he wanted.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_01]: And that you didn't.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: Probably against him.
• 5:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: we talked about some of the limitations they did a good job they they bottled them up there in the second half that I would they were really bad in the first half against the run and they the linebackers just can't hover you want to know why George Kiddler and Kishima Kaffrey both they're going for you know well over a hundred yards it's because they they can't they don't tackle very well and they don't have or anybody's
• 6:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you can go to the corners, the receivers, drop perity at all data throw.
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And he was telling the wide open guys, it was like watching a college offense work, where it's just like every receiver he's throwing to is wide open.
• 6:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's the corners, you know, they play horrible too.
• 6:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: The whole defense is a mentality just completely underwhelming camp.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't play well.
• 6:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can't go up with that ticket at the end.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a lot of holes to fix on that defense.
• 6:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And let's talk a little bit more about that here in just a minute.
• 6:54
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's time to just blow this thing up and start over.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_01]: I will defend Shane Steik a little bit.
• 6:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's done a really good job all year with this tool.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's not a way better than I expected it to.
• 7:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Even despite this late swim, but it's time to start over, right?
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's so difficult.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because I kind of agree with you.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think Steik is necessarily coachable.
• 7:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: But at the end of the day, this has been the...
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: you know, totality of the spectrum regime.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: They fall apart at the end.
• 7:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've had multiple times that they've just been under performing and underwhelming and games and must-win situations.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: He just said, when the big one.
• 7:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if you can't, if your coach can't do that or your team can't do that with him as your coach, then I think it's time that you move on.
• 7:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: The problem is I think he's a really good coach and I think he's going to wind up somewhere and have success somewhere.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's a great play caller.
• 7:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I still question some of the decisions making things that he does, I think the use of time out sometimes the play calling gets a little strange.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I do think as a whole, I think he's a great offer to coordinate recent great schematic coach.
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he's an awesome head coach.
• 8:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think a lot of times it's difficult because it's to be successful the first time they get a job.
• 8:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is obviously his first head coaching job.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that you'd see a much better Shane Stike and if he's given another opportunity somewhere else because he's going to learn from his mistakes, going to have a value-a-d way to kind of went wrong and Indianapolis.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the roster is always kind of been
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: a bandaid roster they've always they've never been a lead really anywhere other than Jonathan Taylor in the time that he's been there they've been good.
• 8:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: They have good receivers they have since losing Leonard that they've really not been a container.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't really know that they were much of a contingent in either to be honest with you.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: they were good teams.
• 8:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: They weren't great teams.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: This team hasn't been a legit contender since Peyton Manning was the quarter.
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: If we're being completely honest, like a team that actually just was good enough to go win a championship, even the Andrew Luckiers.
• 9:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: They just weren't good enough.
• 9:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like there was always that limitation and a weakness that was going to get exposed by a good team in the second round of the playoffs or the AFC championship, and it's like, okay, well, this is the truth.
• 9:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is what our team is.
• 9:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's unfortunate that that happened during the pastry.
• 9:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of second dynasty, but that's how the NFL works.
• 9:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're not a champion, you're trying to get there and the coasts just have it done a good enough job.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Chris Ballard is going to get fired because the roster construction is you can see.
• 9:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Look at what the $40 have done.
• 9:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Think of how many games they've missed from their start players this year.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they still are 11 and 4.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's clearly,
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: their death seems to work.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's booked out of false somewhere.
• 9:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's going to be him.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think it's probably going to be a hostage there as well.
• 9:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't necessarily think it's changed.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can fault that they're in this position.
• 10:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: I agree with you, but I think it's just time to start from scratch once again and time to bring in Peyton Manning to run this organization.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Shane Stiken was brought into developing the Richardson and Tournament of Franchise quarterback.
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: He failed at that job.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: He failed at that job.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I'm not to say that we're sitting here and we're psyched at Homer's and we think he sent awesome head coach at just he also failed at what he was supposed to do and didn't
• 10:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Good point.
• 10:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's it's time for to to go.
• 10:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's time for to be done.
• 10:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Lou in at room.
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, the defense is really looked bad for the better part of a month and a half now at this point.
• 10:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's kind of a situation to with him where.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's probably going to the coaches going to bring in their own defensive coordinator.
• 10:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, they say they're not mathematically eliminated.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: You think Jacksonville's not just the foamed at the mouth wanting to come play in this cold team right now with the lack of past coverage.
• 11:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're on an absolute heater with what they've got and they torched the bronchies.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: What do you think they're going to do with the colds?
• 11:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I get it's in every week type of league.
• 11:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's every week type of situation, but right now,
• 11:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nick, Nicole Thartwin, and these last two games.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's not happening.
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Philip Rivers, it's time to re-retire.
• 11:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: And we hope we never see you again.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: No offense.
• 11:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: It was an admirable job you did.
• 11:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: But if you're using Philip Rivers as your quarterback, things are not going well.
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_01]: And I guess we're going to see Riley winner the last two weeks I would hope I'm glad Phillip Rivers didn't get hurt.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad he didn't embarrass himself.
• 11:42
  [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't embarrass himself.
• 11:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: I'll say that.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: He looked pretty damn good tonight from 15 ends.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I mean, I think until play next week, because they're still mathematically a chance that they can get in.
• 11:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I.
• 11:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: There is, if the charge was beat this, we can't do that because because you saw enough from Philip Rivers to say, he can get me played bad tonight.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's not the reason I lost.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought he was excellent.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: The line of scrimmage in the first half getting to the right checks.
• 12:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: They looked really efficient.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: That first drive, that second drive, they looked great.
• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: It
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I kind of expected it before at this point.
• 12:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think what you see is what you get.
• 12:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've done a good job of masking his weaknesses.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's gotten them all out quickly.
• 12:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's typically found the right guy.
• 12:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's an absolutely cerebral assassin at the quarterback position.
• 12:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's outsmarting the defensive coordinator.
• 12:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's played good.
• 12:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have, I give all of that a nice record.
• 12:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: admiration and respect for what he did for the franchise to strap him back up and play it and give the cult a chance right wrong or a different whether you thought he was the man and he was the man in the arena he did it and you got it commended that respect it.
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely this does nothing the ad to his
• 13:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's, uh, if they lose next week, it will be over.
• 13:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: He won't start the last week.
• 13:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: But he will start next week.
• 13:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: They're percentage chance of making the playoffs is now 4%.
• 13:19
  [SPEAKER_01]: Can we just go with Riley Leonard and Zuel?
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: We got.
• 13:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think it could come down to a situation where, you know, Houston and the charges play on Saturday.
• 13:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's a chance that if Houston wins, which I think would officially eliminate the cults for playoff contention that they do play, Riley Leonard, if Houston loses and the cults can play to stay alive, they've made it clear that they think Philip River skips on the best chance to win.
• 13:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would like to see Anthony Richardson play the last two weeks of healthy and give him the opportunity to, at least showcase whether he has any role next year on this team as Dan of Gen to get healthier or can potentially go be a backup somewhere.
• 14:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: You make a good point.
• 14:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: The Anthony Richardson situation is a fireball thanks for Shane Stecken.
• 14:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's just start from scratch.
• 14:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Will, thanks so much.
• 14:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: That was fun.
• 14:09
  [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody, make sure you tune in on Tuesday for strictly bias with Will, Rutherford and producer Suzy may or may not be talking trash during that fight.
• 14:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think I think it's probably warranted at this point.
• 14:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Producer Suzy is leading our picks competition.
• 14:31
  [SPEAKER_01]: with Will Rutherford on Tuesday.
• 14:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: She's kind of kickin' but she's definitely kickin' my butt.
• 14:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much to Will for joining me late on Monday.
• 14:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thanks so much to Producer Suzie for producing, even though she went to work today.
