Following the Indianapolis Colts’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, quarterback Gardner Minshew chastised the squad for some concerning behavior.
The BREAKING NEWS: Quarterback Indianapolis Colts Cries out over unbearable attitude towards falcons following the team’s loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.were defeated by the Falcons 29-10 on Sunday, a disappointing result given that they had won five of their previous six games while the Falcons were struggling. Minshew claimed that the Colts had neglected the Falcons and failed to take them seriously enough.
“You start counting wins and doing schedule math, and you look around, and it’s like, ‘Well, they lost to Carolina; we beat the Steelers,'” Minshew said, according to ESPN’s Stephen Holder. “Well, guess what? You must earn it right now. And if you take this lightly, you may not have another [opportunity].”
Minshew appears to believe the Colts expected to win simply by showing up. That is a concerning attitude, especially given that their respective records were only two games apart coming into the contest. The Colts simply aren’t good enough to see past any opponent.
The Colts infamously crumbled down the stretch two years ago, costing them a playoff place, sparking a reckoning within the franchise. That was with a different team and a different coach, but the issue may have persisted to some extent.
