[Is Irsay in DENIAL or simply turning a BLIND eye?]

This forum is so funny. It's so obvious that this was always the plan, no matter how many times I hear that Ballard and Irsay have no plan at all.  

 

It was reported after the Ballard hire that Irsay prefferred to keep Pagano for continuity and Ballard agreed on a 1-year interview of sorts.  Why is it so hard to believe that the plan all along was that if things went south, they would rather look for a new coach in the off-season than in-season?  I'm not saying it won't eventually happen, but it would take something very drastic to fire in-season.  You all better believe that perspective head coaches all pay attention to how an organization handles coaching changes, as it affects them directly.  I think Harbaugh or Gruden or the next hot coaching prospect would rather come here if they believe the organization will stick behind their coach and give them every chance to succeed.  I think we would all agree a coaching change should have happened 1 or 2 seasons ago, but why act like Irsay and Ballard have no plan?  They were up front about their intentions from day 1.  Silence to me means they are following their plan, if they decided on a different plan they would hold a conference and let us know about it.

 

For the record I'm on the fire Pagano train as well, but I can absolutely see why they haven't done it.  Combine it with the fact Andrew is out and we are pretty much out of playoffs and what would be the point?  We don't need the extra wins that typically come with coaching changes.

[Time to change the Receiving Corps]

It's hard for a veteran WR to come into a team and instantly perform. I can't remember the last one who did.

 

You mean like Brandon Marshall did yesterday?

[the colts have now been in indianapolis longer than in baltimore]

The team left Baltimore on March 29, 1984.

 

I was born March 29, 1984.  Not sure what that means, but I like to think it was destiny of some sort.

[Bjorn Werner first round pick (merge)]

I just don't get it.  Before the draft, everyone was so happy we had the ability to go BPA.  I read MULTIPLE threads about it.  Now that we did go BPA, a lot of people say we needed a cornerback and did not have luxury of BPA.  I'm very, very, very happy with the pick.  You all will eat your words soon enough.

I have you all beat.  I was born March 29, 1984.  

 

I remember watching the 5fg Ravens Colts playoff game a few years ago, and a women was holding a picture that said "The Colts died March 29, 1984."  I've tried so hard to find this picture but I haven't been successful.
