Great win & Luck is fearless.

however we just went from 13 to 17 draft pick and if Den or TB loss we drop to 19

we need a lot..if we can judge talent......we'll get a good player   17, 18 or 19...

[Austin Leonard]

Im happy,and frustrated at the same time,but decent money and still ok drat position,im not a huge chuck guy but just 2 years ago we were 1 game away,Solid draft last year, if the o line can carry some of the last few games into next year than we may have something,target chandler jones and jpp in free agency,only draft rb in first if its cook or fournette,than heavy draft on defense.

[OffensivelyPC]

Lol this board is hilarious.

75-yard drive...go-ahead TD......24-20.....,500 team  (8-8)

...its what we do..its who we are

Especially if we keep Pagano around!!! We'll do nothing but sustain our brilliance at at our only thing we're consistent at, and that's being consistently inconsistent as well as often unprepared. If we keep him around I have very little confidence next season will be any different than this one. Another season leaving us all shaking our heads just wondering why.

If we lost it could have been 9 at the best and 19 if we won at the worst. Probably same as last year....but with the scores today it was likely 11th if we lost. It is what it is...but it's about 8 spot difference...in every round not just the first.

TB, Denver, Detroit/GB, Tennessee, and Washington will all pick ahead of us. We pick at a minimum of 17th. I'm thinking 16th. 

[jshipp23]

GOOD news is the way players are and towards Pagano and celebrating I think they were told it was Chucks last game ahead of time..

[coltsfan77]

Well on the bright side, they just saved me money on Sunday ticket next year! Just have little confidence in more than .500 seasons. Will watch when able but if this regime comes back with nothing more to offer, talent wise, will save my money.

[kcccolts]

Oh well, a season of what could have been. Always good to finish with a victory, especially coming back the way we did.

[aaron11]

even the browns arnt tanking

Chuck is staying because of this guaranteed. Shame on you guys criticizing the coaches for winning. I've already said this team isn't going to just lay down for draft position.

They play for him..

Criticism of the GM....due to what we have on defense......I hear that.

But the team plays for Pagano....they rally for him.

 

He'll be back

I get what youre saying, but draft position can definitely be a reason that a team gets better. 

Sure, but not drafting well hurts you no matter what. How many top picks have the Browns/Jaguars had over the years with little to no improvement? Look at the Patriots, if you are smart/lucky with how you acquire players it makes all the difference. I'm not going to cheer for getting swept by the Jaguars though.

[UKCOLT17]

I don't care bout the draft position but that fact remains this team is always unprepared how can u play like that. If it was against top teams they stomp us and I am sick of it I don't understand how people can be happy with same thing happening over and over.

[HungarianColtsFan]

'Great' win. I'd put Benny Hill show's music under the recap of this game.

we are 8-8..Jacksonville is 3-13

 

..and they have better players........what does that tell you?

Stop saying that...they don't have better players and the most important player on the field it isn't even close. They have a beautiful car with no engine....the coach is the driver....we have a hella engine with some bad tires and some beat up fenders etc but we still have a bad driver...doesn't know how to take a curve or most importantly get us off the line on restarts...just spins the tires. We still have a better car..because the most important part is the qb....so stop saying that.

[cgi4life]

This is a good win, true professional don't loose on purpose for a higher draft pick.  I would love to see new leadership but i would not ask this team to loose so the coach will be fired and for a better draft pick.  It is what it is, just have to hope the right decision are made this off-season to make this a better team.

interesting logic there

It was there. Not any worse than what a lot of other WR and TE get away with though.

I;m just kidding..I saw it...

Never seen so much negativity around a win. Draft position isn't going to be the thing that makes the team better, making smarter draft picks/free agent acquisitions will make us better. 

 

Yeah I don't think this win is really going to affect their ability to draft some solid players since this team needs a lot of help, nor I don't think it would change Irsays decision to make changes if he's really bent on doing so. 

[oldunclemark]

..and again..our line magically got better when we went no-huddle, up tempo

[VocableLoki]

Just now, oldunclemark said:

yup

[oldunclemark]

so we were 1-1 vs. Jax...2-0 vs. Tennessee or 0-2 vs. Houston

I have no idea why they don't run it more.  Absolutely no clue, it's not like you have to use it all game.

We all know this but the coaches don't and won't change the way the game plan so doesn't matter

Not a damn thing. This game should not be the determinate game for Pagano/Grigson. These whole past 2 seasons have been underwhelming. 

[JColts72]

Folks its not like won against NE. Barely beat a 3 win team here.

I don't have any answer.

........you could at least start the game and the 3rd quarter in no-huddle when everyone is fresh.

 

Did we not used to do that???

So why didn't they play for Pagano the 1st half? Did the coach and players having a falling out during the week and then make up at halftime. 

 

They play hard because they're ultra competitive people. That's one of the reasons they have reached this level.

Yeah, I agree.  I doubt Irsay is like "Meh, I'm awefully unhappy about this team not making the playoffs two years in a row.  I think I'll keep both Grigson and Pagano if they win this game though."

with 3 rookie 0-linemen..we should win very few...and we finish 8-8

That is correct, would had more hope for change. I also stated if they don't do anything signifant talent wise if they do come back. I have purchased the ticket every year because I live in NC. Don't have luxury of watching in person. 

[oldunclemark]

Just now, coltsva said:

I don't have an answer for that

 

..but when you rally and come back repeatedly...that's coaching, right?

If the offense comes out starting slow, switch it up ect.  They can obviously turn it on in the blink of an eye.  

[coltsva]

If this 2nd half is the reason Irsay doesn't make any moves, then this franchise is doomed until he hands over control of the team. .

I think it speaks volumes that the players want this coach

[krunk]

I dont think anyone needs to be fired. Just make major personnel improvements to this D. Ensure that we are a stronger running team to help the young O line. Speaking of the O you do that by either adding another young O lineman or adding a true talent at RB or do both. We hit on improving the D and being able to run more and we will be much better than 8-8 next year. You can't keep asking this guy to play with bad to mediocre personnel on defense and think the Super Bowl is near. Give him what he needs and then raise the expectation from there.

[dgambill]

Both teams stink so bad they wouldn't even show highlights. Jacksonville lost this game more than we won it....not happy with this team. I have had Chucks back for a long time but I just can't defend it anymore. The way we came out and played...executed...chuck might win more games with better players but he isn't going to raise our level of play with just his coaching. Still don't know which Colts will show up...and I can't stand medicracy.

With easy Illegal streams or bars close,i have never paid a penny for nfl ticket or network or any of that. if you pm me later i can send you plenty of decent sites or ways to find games in hd for free. been doing it for years,since im in florida so dont get a lot of games either. but do have the luxury of colts @ jags every year besides this one because of london

[coltsfan77]

Fans like to watch their team play 4 qtrs vs 2 every game! This staff has been pretty consistent on giving us 2 for quite sometime now.I totally get the frustration!
