My 10 post-game thoughts are not going to be very nice after this one. I have a few things to get off my chest with this Colts franchise.
— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) January 1, 2023
I'm sick of the 2022 Colts. I'm sick of every single f---ing thing about them. Their roster, front office, coaches, all the way to the top. I'm tired of this team, and have just one way to express it as thoroughly as I need to express it:#columncoming

Colts OL coach Chris Strausser has something on somebody. That unit is bad getting worse. Irsay firing tons of people, but not THAT guy? Nobody's blocked Thibodeaux yet. I don't mean "successfully" blocked.
I mean, "noticed" him.— Gregg Doyel (@GreggDoyelStar) January 1, 2023
14:30 left 3Q: Colts force a turnover
Sam Ehlinger is in at quarterback for the Colts after they strip Darius Slayton of the ball and recover at the Giants 30.

Halftime: Giants 24, Colts 3
Graham Gano hits a 36-yard field goal to end the first half.
Nick Foles goes 8-of-13 for 81 yards with a pick-6 before he is knocked out of the game on a sack. He hit Parris Campbell for a 49-yard gain. Zack Moss has 30 rushing yards.
Daniel Jones is 15-of-20 for 133 yards and a pair of 6-yard touchdowns. He also has 34 rushing yards. Saquon Barkley has 39 rushing yards.
I've covered some bad units before -- 2014 Bears defense, 2018 Lions defense -- but none of it matches the ineptitude of this Colts offense.
It's an all-time disaster.— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) January 1, 2023

And doing some snow angels too while Nick Foles is in pain; hopefully he’s okay as he is carted off. pic.twitter.com/k2cH0xp2cO— Doug Rush (@TheDougRush) January 1, 2023
Nick Foles has a ribs injury. He's technically questionable to return, but I think we can rule that out at this point.

1:45 left 2Q: Nick Foles serves up a Giants touchdown
Landon Collins steps in front of the Nick Foles pass and brings it back 52 yards. That's just the 5th Giants interception of the season, and their first in 5 games. Giants 21, Colts 3
Landon Collins pick-6! @Giants take a 21-3 lead!

A terrible pick-6 by Nick Foles on an out route, Landon Collins picks it off and takes it to the house, this game is a route.

Giants 7, Colts 3, 10:38 2Q.
The Colts could be tied had they gone for it instead of settled for 3. Then again, assuming a touchdown is a bit much.— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) January 1, 2023
2:26 left 1Q: Colts take the lead
Chase McLaughlin hits a field goal from 23 yards. Colts 3, Giants 0
Gutless to not go for it, fourth-and-1 at the 5 IN A LOST SEASON ... unless the Colts win 3-0, and then give that man a lifetime contract because BRILLIANT.#INDvsNYG

The Colts are kicking a field goal from the 5-yard line on 4th-and-1. Interesting decision.
— Nate Atkins (@NateAtkins_) January 1, 2023
The Colts really convert a 3rd-down play when Nick Foles throws the bomb and Parris Campbell hauls it in in traffic for a 49-yard gain. That's the Colts' longest pass play of the season.

8:16 left 1Q: Colts get the ball back
A Giants punt goes into the end zone.
The Colts entered this matchup having not scored an offensive touchdown in 118 minutes, 48 seconds of game time. Deon Jackson scored on a 1-yard run against the Vikings with 3:51 left in the first quarter. Their only touchdown since is on a Julian Blackmon interception return. Chase McLaughlin has five field goals over that period.
This game is not aesthetically pleasing so far.

12:12 left 1Q: Colts gain a first down (sort of), then punt
The Giants start form their 21 after a Matt Haack punt. The Colts convert their first 3rd-down attempt, but it comes on a Giants defensive holding call. The Colts have gone two games this season without converting a 3rd-down play, including last week.
The Colts are now 0-25 on their past 25 third downs without Matt Ryan.

Colts vs. Giants inactives
Colts: WR Ashton Dulin, C Wesley French, TE Kylen Granson, DT Eric Johnson II, LB Cameron McGrone, CB Kenny Moore II, QB Matt Ryan.
Giants: CB Adoree' Jackson, S Dane Belton, CB Rodarius Williams, LB Jarrad DAvis, G Wayatt Davis, G Jack Anderson, TE Lawrence Cager.
Should the Colts pursue Jim Harbaugh?
The Colts will search for a coach for 2023, and a former NFL coach and Colts quarterback could be available. Michigan's season ended with a College Football Playoff loss to TCU, and Wolverines coach Jim Harbaugh is a common name that pops up for NFL openings. IndyStar's Nate Atkins has observations.
I think some Colts fans need to come to grips with the reality that this franchise can’t be that choosy this offseason. If there are 6 openings, they will be the 6th-most attractive landing spot given everything that has happened.
