Paganos signature wins

[RockThatBlue]

What has been Paganos signature wins with the Colts?

[ColtStrong]

GB comes to mind.

[GoColts8818]

Packers last year, pretty much any game vs the Broncos when they had Peyton minus the one season opener.  KC in the playoffs and at KC.  The Bengals in the playoffs and when they shut them out.  I think the Falcons game when they had Hasselbeck.  Those come to mind.  

[aaron11]

i wouldnt call green bay last year a signature win for our coach

 

we had a lucky kick return that ended up making a difference in a one score game

[NorthernBlue]

Seahawks 2013 and 49ers 2013 were good wins. 

 

 

[ar1888]

2014 Playoff win at Denver.    

2015 Vs Broncos Andrew Luck Spleen game.

In 2012? I think Arians was coaching that game.

[Dark Superman]

That comeback win against the Chiefs in the playoffs.

They're talking about last year

[2006Coltsbestever]

2013 over Seahawks

2013 at 49ers (49ers were Very Good to Great that season)

2013 Chiefs in Playoffs

2014 at Broncos in Playoffs

2015 Broncos, Broncos were 7-0 going into that game

Why was the kick return lucky and not the product of good coaching?    I'm talking about ST coaching,  but it's someone on Pagano's staff.

 

We went on the road and beat a better team.    A team with a coach and quarterback that most people think are better than Pagano and Luck.

 

I don't see why that's not an impressive win?

 

[colt18]

What specifically makes a Pagano signature win? Honestly, I can't think of a single game we won that made me go "We wouldn't have won this game without Pagano". 

 

 

I can certainly think of numerous games that can be used as signature losses.

[sfergson727]

The Patriots, every time we play them.





Oh wait, my bad, you didn't mean for the other team, did you?

[dgouvion]

I would have to say it was Luck who carried Pagano not Pagono's coaching. The evidence of that is clearly seen in the last three years with a hurt Luck playing with injury and what we are seeing this year. 

[csmopar]

Uh not this one..... chances were there yet Pagano coaches yet another second half implosion

The 49ers game is probably the best complete game in Pagano Colts history.

Yeah that was very solid, I didn't think we had much of a chance going into that game.

So when we win you give Coaching no credit but when we lose it's all Chuck's fault. Yeah that makes sense.

I can think of plenty boneheaded mistakes that Pagano has made and directly caused us to lose the game, I don't recall any coaching adjustments he's made that caused us to win the game. 

 

Are you going to answer my question or move the goal posts to fit your narrative?

Pagano clearly out Coached Jim Harbaugh in SF in 2013, made huge halftime adjustments against Seattle and Pete in 2013, and he out Coached John Fox at Denver in 2014 in a Playoff game where Luck actually didn't play great. You are not making any sense and it is ridiculous to not give Chuck any credit for wins like I just mentioned -Answering your question. Yet everytime we lose you give him the blame. Yes he has made boneheaded decisions that has cost us games but it's ridiculous to say he hasn't had any signature wins.

We blew the Niners out 27-7 in 2013, mainly because of a good running game (Trent Richardson/Bradshaw) and solid pass defense (Kaep finished 13/27, 150 yards, 1 INT ) I don't know how you can specifically say that Pags coaching is the reason we won the game. In that case, any blowout is a signature Pags win. 

 

Luck balled out and Hilton had 140 yards and 2 TDs against Seattle. What specific halftime adjustments did Pags make?

 

The only reason we beat the Broncos in 2014 is because Peyton was terrible. He literally could not make the necessary passes, overthrew Sanders 3 times, threw into double coverage instead of running for a first down....the man was booed outta the stadium. How did Pags directly contribute to that?

 

I need specific adjustments that Pags has made to win the game. Not general statements like "He outcoached John Fox"....I can give you specific plays for my argument, can you do the same for yours?

[HectorRoberts]

When he was hired I was under the impression he was this "great defensive mind" but in the five years he's been here I think the defense has actually gotten worse.

You have to understand the age old rule some Colts fans follow dating back to the Manning days.

 

Colts win its because of the QB.

 

Colts lose its because of the coach.

 

The QB never plays a roll in a loss and the coach never plays a roll in a win.

So, with Pagano being the defensive stud. Would some of these shootouts rate as a signature win or bailed out by the offense????

With most teams the QB and Coach get most of the credit for wins and losses. In Indy like 8818 Posted most of our fanbase has always gave most of the credit to the QB really even going to back Harbaugh in 1995.

In the future please don`t bring up 1995. It`s the last time I recall the Colts had a very good defense.

Yeah I loved that team. We had a Great Defense and QB that pulled miracles out of his behind that season.

[crazycolt1]

It's strange that when the Colts lose it's Pagano's fault but when they win he has nothing to do with it.

Things like this is called being narrow minded.

He's supposed to be the defensive mind. That's what he was brought to Indy for. Unfortunately, he`s been anything but that.

Being a head coach is not being a defensive coordinator.

How many years did the Colts have a top 10 defense when he was here? Yes he installed the Tampa 2 but it was not successful. The Colts defense gave away so many playoffs wins it was a joke.

I completely agree with you about Dungy and the defense. I`ve said, it many times, I think Dungy is overrated. The Colts should have had multiple Lombardi trophies.

I don't think Dungy was over rated as a head coach but him bringing his defensive ideas were lost in Polian's draft picks making Manning what he was. Yes we had Freeney and later Mathis but the rest as a whole was never that good as a unit.

Way too many times the offense set this team up to win but the poor defense and especially the special teams play couldn't hold. We sure got a lot of wins in regular seasons but way too many heart breaking losses in the playoffs.

Broncos in 2013

 

Peyton’s first game against the Colts, and it was in Indy. They way Pagano had the DBs press Denver’s WRs was impressive. They didn’t get a single thing going all night. That was the beginning of Davis very short rise to greatness.
