Colts face scrutiny after playoff elimination, fans call for GM Chris Ballard's dismissal

The Indianapolis Colts are facing significant scrutiny following their Week 17 loss to the New York Giants, which knocked them out of playoff contention for the fourth consecutive year. NFL insider Albert Breer mentioned that there are murmurs of potential front-office changes in the organization. A portion of the fan base is calling for the dismissal of Chris Ballard, who has been the team's general manager since 2017, due to the team's lackluster performance and failure to secure an AFC South title during his tenure. The retirement of the team's star quarterback in 2019 has been a notable setback, but the ongoing struggles suggest that changes may be necessary.
