Former Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee scorched his previous crew on Sunday after watching them get eradicated from playoff competition in a loss to the New York Giants.
Indianapolis had three turnovers and allowed 4 Drew Lock landing passes within the 45-33 defeat. The Colts dropped to 7-9 on the season and had been formally out of competition.
McAfee wrote a scathing put up on X, criticizing the group, ripping those that tried to get him “booed out of the city” and saying he is not going to renew his season tickets.

“A blind person could see the red flags on this team.. Work ethic questions, NEVER happens on good teams.. Preparation commitment questions, NEVER happens on good teams.. Late to meetings, NEVER happens on good teams.. Late to/skipping treatment, NEVER happens on good teams.. The franchise QB (Anthony Richardson) tapped out of a game.. on 3rd down.. in the red zone.. because he was tired… NEVER HAPPENED in the history of the NFL,” McAfee wrote.
“That’s literally the only thing you need to tell someone (who knows ball) and they could tell you everything about this team…”
He wrote that if a franchise quarterback left in the midst of a recreation as a result of he was drained, the “immediate response” could be that the crew has “no chance.”
“And to the surprise of nobody.. that was the response by everybody who’s ever played/coached the game before but.. Colts blogs and fans who have been covering the Colts since 2020 and more recent knew better than everybody… Started personally attacking me and trying to kick me out of town,” McAfee continued.

“When I said Joe Flacco gives us a better chance to win than AR immediately after the tap out.. I would’ve said whatever backup QB we had on the roster. That can’t be what the face of your team is doing.. just can’t be.. and to a bigger aspect of it all, somehow AR thought it was ok to do that. That’s a locker room issue.. that’s a culture issue.. thats an indicator of a loser attitude radiating thru a building that was built by greats.
“I don’t know how they repair it.. I don’t suppose it’s like a light-weight swap. “Alright, we’re gonna become Pros now” however… perhaps it’s, however what do I do know?
“Oh wait….. how this was all gonna work out. I knew that.”
McAfee added that he wouldn’t be renewing his season tickets and hoped the crew returned to its successful methods.
“As a multiple year season ticket holder (not renewing).. and someone who has actively, daily, attempted to be an additive to this beautiful city. I hope they become a good franchise again.. this city deserves it.. the OGs in the Colts building deserve it (equipment managers, trainers, ticketing, PR, sales).. and on the flip side the players/coaches in that building deserve whatever happens to them. Your unwarranted arrogance, laziness, and lack of professionalism has lead you to ANOTHER early vacation… which is probably what most of you entitled bums have been hoping for.
“I don’t converse for town.. and I don’t converse for all ex Colts gamers as a result of I used to be solely a punter.. nominated for the HOF 3 instances now however nonetheless.. I converse from my very own perspective.. I’ve by no means seen a gaggle waste alternatives/expertise/cash greater than this group.”
