The Horseshoe Faithful have spoken ahead of the Colts’ Week 16 game against the Tennessee Titans!
The results are in, and Indianapolis Colts fans aren’t overly optimistic about the franchise’s future going forward after a truly ‘boneheaded’ road loss to the Denver Broncos last weekend after an initial in-game strong start—with their playoff hopes on the line:

Specifically, fans confidence nosedived as now only 17% of the Horseshoe Faithful now believe that the franchise is headed in the right direction, which is way down from 60% just last week.
That being said, 70% of Colts fans believe that the team will still beat the lowly Tennessee Titans (3-11) at home on Sunday, but that hasn’t been the issue for Indianapolis.
The Colts have consistently beaten the NFL’s weaker competition this year on their schedule, but it’s been against the league’s better competition that they’ve largely been unable to close out games (with the lone exception being the 10-5 Pittsburgh Steelers):

The Colts have won 3 in a row against Tennessee. Will Sundays’ outcome be four in a row?
It’s been a myriad of issues as to why the Colts have disappointed so far this season, the slow start at starting quarterback, the initial poor run defense, wide receiver drops, injuries, and really just a lack of elite talent and stars on the roster collectively.
However, if you ask the Horseshoe Faithful on who exactly is to blame, and the large majority (56%) now points the finger at longtime general manager Chris Ballard—who arguably hasn’t had the winning results to warrant his continued longevity:
