Colts: Pat McAfee’s rant on Carson Wentz is hilariously spot-on

Stop us if you’ve heard this before in 2021, but the Indianapolis Colts face must-win games over the next four weeks.

That wouldn’t be the case had they disposed of the Titans in overtime this past Sunday. Alas, now Indy has even less margin for error.

We hate to put a loss on any one player’s shoulders, but Carson Wentz simply has to take responsibility for the defeat. We don’t know how he does it, but he always manages to out-do himself with hellacious turnovers.

Before Week 8, Wentz had taken good care of the football. However, all three of his interceptions this season, including the shovel pass INT that was ruled a fumble against the 49ers, have been entirely avoidable.

As the season’s worn on, Wentz is slowly morphing back into the QB who has to have it all on one play. That’s the guy he was during his final few years in Philly, and fans are starting to get a little uneasy.

With that in mind, who better to speak on Wentz’s disaster Week 8 performance than Pat McAfee, the voice of Colts fans?

Former Colts punter Pat McAfee’s rant on Carson Wentz hilariously hit the nail right on the head.

That pretty much sums it up, folks.

Wentz impressively went five games without throwing an interception, but he undid all of that progress with one unforgivable performance on Sunday.

Whether it’s a matter of Wentz having too much belief in his individual talent, which is undeniable, he has to understand you can win games without making a spectacular play on every drive.

You know how fans were enraged that Jonathan Taylor only carried the ball 16 times against Tennessee? Frank Reich told reporters after the game that he dialed up at least SIX more running plays for Taylor. In other words, Wentz checked out of them at the line of scrimmage. See the issue?

At this point, we all know that Wentz had Taylor and Mo Alie-Cox wide open on the overtime interception that was intended for Michael Pittman. However, we have another piece of evidence that proves Wentz still hasn’t learned from the mistakes (or judgment calls) that ended his reign in Philadelphia.

On a 4th and 3 in the first quarter, Wentz had Kylen Granson in acres of space at the first down marker. The rookie tight end was literally right in his line of vision. Rather than move the chains, Wentz opted to go deep to Pittman and the pass fell incomplete. Turnover on downs.

For anybody wondering, the Titans scored on their ensuing possession in the form of a Ryan Tannehill TD pass to Geoff Swaim.

Wentz has enough credit in the bank this season to deserve the opportunity to right his wrongs, but we believe McAfee is speaking for all Colts fans when he says it’s a rollercoaster every time the 28-year-old drops back to pass.

Only eight games to go!

Indianapolis Colts: 3 plays vs Titans that prove coaching might be the problem

What's the problem with the Indianapolis Colts? Their latest loss to the Titans was somehow their worst of the year. Is the coaching holding them back?
