“Any blind person can see the red flags on this team… Questions of work ethic, never happen on good teams… Questions of commitment to preparation, never happens on good teams… Being late to meetings, never happens on good teams. “Lagging in/skipping a tackle, never happens with good teams. Franchise QB (Anthony Richardson) gets knocked out of the game.. on third down.. in the red zone.. because he was tired… never happens in NFL history.” McAfee wrote.
“That’s the only thing you need to tell someone (who knows the ball) and can tell you everything about this team…”
He wrote that if a franchise quarterback left in the middle of a game because he was tired, the “immediate response” would be that the team “has no chance.”
“To no one’s surprise…this was the reaction of everyone who has ever played/coached the game but…Colts blogs and fans who have been covering the Colts since 2020 and more recently knowing better than everyone…started attacking me personally.” “And he’s trying to kick me out of town,” McAfee continued.
5 touchdowns by Baker Mayfield keep BUCS playoff hopes alive over Panthers

“When I said Joe Flacco gives us a better chance to win than AR right off the bat… I was going to say whoever backup QB we have on the roster. That can’t be what the face of your team does. It can’t be that way… and besides… From all of that, AR somehow thought it was a good thing to do. This is a locker room issue.. It’s a cultural issue.. and it’s an indication of the losing attitude that radiates through a building that the greats built.
“I have no idea how to fix it… I don’t think it’s like a light switch. ‘Okay, we’ll be professionals now’ but… maybe it is, but what do I know?”
“Oh, wait… How’s this all going to end? I knew it.”
McAfee added that he will not renew his season tickets and hopes the team can return to winning ways.
“As a multi-year (non-renewable) season ticket holder..and someone who has actively tried, daily, to be an asset to this fine city. I hope they become a good franchise again..this city deserves it..the OGs in the Colts building deserve it (managers) (Equipment, coaches, tickets, PR, sales)… On the other hand, the players/coaches in this building deserve all the arrogance, laziness, and ineptitude that comes their way. Your professionalism has led to another early vacation… which is probably what he was hoping for. Most of you are bums.
“I don’t speak for the city.. and I don’t speak for all the former Colts players because I was just a gambler.. I’ve been nominated for the HOF 3 times now but still.. I’m speaking from my own perspective.. I’ve never seen a group waste opportunities/ More talent/money than this group.”
