Part of Grigson's problem is that he has basically missed on the ENTIRE 2013 draft.
That certainly does NOT happen to every GM.
The lack of any talent from that draft (except Thornton and it's still not clear just how good he is?) has been very costly to the team.
Then, the 2014 draft has only yielded two real talents... Mewhort and Moncrief. The jury remains out on Newsome.
Combine those two drafts with the spottiness of Grigson's Free Ageny signings and you begin to understand why and how and we're where we are.....
Hopefully, and I mean that sincerely, we engage Pagano, Chudzinski, and Monachino input along side of Grigson this year. I'm not quite sure if Ryan consults anyone beyond Irsay during the drafts. And yeah, I get the scouts. I get the engaged personnel. Input from these coaches should weigh heavily in our picks, IMO.
If I'm wrong about RG, I'd be very happy. Let's see how it rolls ...

Carolina is very tough, I think the SB will be much like yesterdays game, another nailtbiter but I have faith in this Denver team.

Very well stated. Twice.
Seriously, if Denver's D plays a carbon copy of yesterday? They'll give Cam & the Panthers a very good game.

Good stuff, alright. How many times can one person bang their head up against the wall before giving into the inevitable. If you know what I mean.

Denver was going to go one and done.
When they didn't. .........

Didn't happen.
So now...Carolina is going to blow them out.
So to those making all these predictions, I say, keep up the good work. It's working.
Outta likes. So here you go Mrs.M : I LIKE !

Hmmm. Sounds exactly like what was said a week ago by EVERYONE in the media & many, many, fans. Sing to the tune of JAWS :
"Farewell and Adieu to you fair Spanish maidens, farewell and adieu you ladies of Spain. For we've received orders for to sail back to Boston, and so never more shall we see you again!"

Brady was bad. And got away with at least two intentional grounding calls.
That said, he had nothing to work with. His receivers were blanketed initially (almost every big pass play was a breakdown or just a GREAT throw/catch). The line played an atrocious game, which has been the Pats Achilles' heel all season.
I don't really believe in the "choked" label, but that was one of the worst playoff games from Brady, ever.
In addition, one of the best defensive performances against New England in a Playoff game I can remember.

Nonsense. The Colts said winning the division was a step in going to the playoffs and on to the super bowl. Just quit.
I told pm18 just this morning to quit poking the animals. Not a very good listener.

Loved Deion Sanders as a player. But, that's it. Too cocky, obnoxious, uppity, and I know more than you ever will attitude. He also deserves a couple spoonfuls of dirt from time to time.

I normally don't talk a lot of junk. I am laid back, don't want any conflict but when people want to diss Peyton it's game on then.
My sentiments exactly. I went a little overboard in a different thread today.

The computers were right. Nate Silver and Fivethirtyeight predicted a Broncos win. They said Denver had a 59% chance to win.
Someone please tell me. Along with very good QB play, does DEFENSE win Championships?

YES SIR! YES SIR! I called it, where you at Pats fans! Call Peyton a choker now.
Oh, how I love it so!
That makes it 3-1 against Brady & the Paties via Peyton Manning.
WOW! What an "underperformance" (people from the Wayne/Manning thread) today!
Who's first to take a spoonful of dirt?

Start this series with hitting the middle of the field. Been watching this. It'll throw the Pats waaaay off balance. Do it, Peyton!

Denver needs to start hitting the middle of the field a lot more.

To say anyone was
Actually, our defense in the Manning years gave up just below the Historical average in points allowed per game. Your Goat had 3 touchdowns & 7 interceptions on his SB run.
Manning sucked in Many playoff games, believing his passing was more important than having a balanced attack.Ho hum, the same way he operated during the regular season, on his way to His MVP awards
and his prodigious history of Many one and done`s. HOMER! Pix six today!You know where you can stick that "Homer" garbage, don't you?

I never said the defense didn't underperform in those years. I didn't lay "everything at Manning's feet". You're reading out of my sentence what you want to read, but I haven't even implied that Manning was solely to blame. But it seem to be a pattern with people here and on other boards.. this "It was the defense - dont put everything on Manning"-narrative, when often people who critize Manning mention other factors besides Manning.
Now, back to Manning. Yes, he has underperformed in the post season as the statistics show. Compared to his regular season numbers there are a drop. Now, many QBs have worse stats in the playoffs, but Manning's TD:Int ratio and his passer ratings are significantly worse than his regular season numbers. More so than Brady or Montana who by many is regarded as the best of all time,
You can contribute that to other factors, but as starting QB Manning was a big part of his own drop in quality (like he was a big part of his high quality in the regular season). I can't fathom how some Colts fan still can't admit that Manning himself is a big reason for his own post season struggles.
So, you admit the defense under-performed during the Playoffs. Then, you turn around and say Colts fans can't admit that Manning is a big reason for his own post season struggles. Which is it?
You wrote TWO wide-sweeping sentences in your first post. "Wayne is right. More often than not Manning has underperformed." You didn't specify as to what that was. What am I, Marvin the Mindreader? I answered you correctly. You cannot write a sentence of singularity without indifference.
And, I STILL stand by my statement. The Colts defense lost the majority of those Playoff games during his tenure with the Colts. To say otherwise & completely disregard that as to lay underperformance by Manning to the reason why exclusively is ludicrous.

Unfotunately, you're correct BC! Manning & Brady are two great QBs. Why can't most see it that way instead of this stupid illogical kindergarten argument is beyond me. I get it, though. If you compare the two, you have to compare them on an equal plain of status, team wise. Brady has enjoyed the better "teams" overall. It's just that way. You put Peyton behind all the Patriot teams since 2001? Mercy. It would be frightening. He eclipses Tom by quite a bit IMO.

Not when he was with the Colts. And yes, that includes the Playoffs. Our DEFENSE under-performed during many Playoff runs. Many. To lay everything at the feet of Peyton Manning is ridiculous IMO. Whether that's Indy or Denver. Yeah, this year a little different. Injury. It happens.

Reggie is on the NFL Channel. Everyone on the panel agree's this game is much bigger for Peyton's legacy than it is Tom's. Tom has nothing to prove, he already has won 4 SB's and most think he is the GOAT anyway. Peyton is regarded as a Playoff choker by tons of people but a 2nd Ring would eliminate all of that talk. Eli having 2 Rings to his 1 doesn't look good either.
Yeah, this is a cross the board generic summation of how these two are evaluated. I get it. But man, it just isn't that way in my book. Most NFL fans & the general public have no idea of what Peyton has accomplished without very good to great defenses. I know I tout this repeatedly, but it's the truth of it. You take away Brady's defenses since 2001? Whata ya have?
I can't even begin to imagine how many VLs Peyton & the Colts would have if not for mediocre defense? I highly doubt Brady & the Patriots would have as many with par defenses.

Shocking....shocking I tell ya. I thought for sure he was a future hall of famer. I don't know what is wrong with the front office. We could have the most dominant WR trio in NFL history with Duron Carter, Roy Hall, and Da'Rick Rodgers.
Poking the animals again?

His strengths obviously outweigh his weaknesses. Speed, durability, strength. Would really like to see a game-changer at OLB. If Spence has those attributes according to our people, I'm all for it.
Your write-up is geared towards liking. The drug problem concerns me from the past. But, he seems to have overcome.
I've stated my opinion on two pivitol positions defensively. OLB & ILB. The battery for any very good to great defense IMO. If the Colts can nail these, it's a tremendous start. I don't pretend to be an excellent evaluator of NFL talent & never will. However, I know game-changers when I see them. My question is simple. Is this guy one of those?
Thoughts? Anyone?
Seriously, if Denver's D plays a carbon copy of yesterday? They'll give Cam & the Panthers a very good game.

That's a very good likelihood. Most have not mentioned this. That first drive by Manning & the Broncos scoring the TD was a pivitol point in the game, albeit very early. They made a statement. And, sparked Denver's D to play out of their minds. If they can get that same mojo going against Carolina early? It's gonna be close.
