Irsay's smear campaign worked apparently
Irsay is off the rails but I wouldn't call it a smear campaign.
Wentz blew the last two games.
Win 1 and youre in.
In the final two games: Combined!
33/57 (58%) Att/Comp
333 Yards
2TD/1INT
The two defense they played were ranked 26th and 29th in team defense.
Wentz and the rest of the O shit the bed.

His O-line last year was ranked 30th in pass blocking efficiency...but I guess he should have somehow overcome that and taken them to the promise land. LOL
Look, I'm sure he could have played better. Should he shoulder some of the blame? Sure. Maybe he should washed his hands more, or worn a better mask, and not contracted COVID prior to the Raiders game... but the whole team as a unit could have played better down the stretch, and Coaches could have coached better.
It's just nuts how this guy is getting all the blame for how his teams performed over his last two seasons. If you are on that wagon, you aren't looking at the whole picture.
We'll see how he does...my guess is he'll shut a lot of people up pretty quickly.
So our qb is a guy “who could’ve played better”.
That is always the theme with this team.

Yeah, probably. That's part of being an athlete, and these guys are the best of the best. They don't get where they are without always thinking that they could have played better, win or lose.

I'm always a little skeptical about these so called stats like pass blocking efficiency. Who is the source? How do they judge it? Sacks? Pressures? Was the QB was holding the ball too long?

Honestly, I’d love to see Wentz carve up Jax for 400 yards and 5 tds and then turn to the cameras and say, “Sorry, what was your question?” It’s amazing, not in a good way, how quick people are to pile on to the guy who as best I can tell has been a pretty standup guy during us time in the league.
If he can get the ball to Terry, Dotson, and Samuels in space, look out.

Has it deserved Irsay constantly bringing it up all off-season though? Sometimes he’s not even asked about it and he brings it up. Almost seems personal or something. If it’s not a smear job I don’t know what is.
The Colts D didn’t exactly come up big against Jax too.

Those two games are after Wentz got COVID.. From my personal experience, it took me almost one full month to fully recover before I could resume lifting weights. To summarize my weightlifting background, I have been lifting weights since I was in high school and I'm 34 years old now, so there is no question about my commitment to lifting weights. And yet I felt weak and had no motivations to lift weights after I recovered from COVID about 2 weeks later. It wasn't until the 4th week where I finally started to feel like I have energy to lift weights.
So I cannot imagine what it is like for Wentz to play only 1-2 weeks after getting it. On top of that, he is not vaccinated so he might had it worse than I did (I'm vaccinated).

It's PFF. I don't know exactly how they calculate their stats to compile their rankings, but I'm guessing their analysis is more reputable than anyone on here.

Exactly. He's been seemingly going out of his way to comment on it whenever a microphone is in front of his big mouth. Pretty classless. I can't wait until we play Indy. Blow the doors off 'em and see what he has to say then...
