    Sports Illustrated Asks: Why isn't Grigson's Job also on the Line?

    Here is another article that basically points out things that have been eluded to by myself and others. It's a good read and makes very valid points. I'm not saying Grigson needs to be canned but he's as culpable as Pagano is in my opinion.

    Yep...the Colts chances to win the SB have been squandered alright.  You know, because teams are only allowed to win when their QB is on their rookie contract.  

     

    Note:  Take a look at that chart comparing the Colts to the "elite" teams.  Notice anything?  You guessed it...the Colts beat every team on the list with the exception of the Cheaters.

    Thompson's all pro QB pick wasn't an obvious pick at the time.

     

    Thompson's team has a running game

     

    Thompson's team has an offensive line.  Aaron Rodger's isn't best friends with the turf.  

     

    Thompson drafts well and doesn't need to sign many free agents.

     

    Thompson's team dominates a much tougher division. 

     

    Thompson's team can win games against good teams without asking Rodgers to throw the ball 40 times. 

    Didn't Aaron Rodgers lead the league for most sacks a couple years ago?

    In 10 years. 2 HoF QBs. A couple losing seasons in there too.

    I know it's not apples to ... But my point is that just because you have one of the best QBs in the league doesn't mean you should expect to be in the SB every year. And some years in that GMs reign, the Pack weren't even contenders.

    Again, I'm not defending Grigs, and I've always said we should invest in the Oline even if it means over drafting or overpaying, even to the detriment of keeping some skill players. But how can anyone argue with his success?

    I know there have been different GMs for the Packers during this time but the Packers have had close to 30 yrs of HOF caliber QBing with only 2 (TWO) Superbowl wins to show for it.

    I'm tired of this and wish it would go away.

    I'm not defending Grigson, none of us know what's really going on there.

    But I have to wonder - with the best QB in the game, and only one SB appearance, why doesn't Ted Thompson get scrutinized as much as Grigs?

    I've also wondered that.  And, when talking about Aaron Rodgers, why is it "Oh he's the best QB in the game" or "there's Aaron Rodgers...and then everyone else"?  Shouldn't it be "he's the best QB in the regular season" or "chokes in the platoffs" or is that only reserved for Colts QBs?

    Report: Colts have "some interest" in bringing back Ahmad Bradshaw

    While I appreciate the translation jabbanobadda, just because you can obtain a new lineman you don't necessarily wanna introduce a new piece on the line during the regular season & mess up that fluid chemistry. Gelling just doesn't occur overnight not with a center pulling on certain calls or say understanding a QB's cadence at the line of scrimmage to draw the defense offsides. Plus, Bradshaw knows what we like to do in INDY so it makes a perfect fit on a been there done that front. 

    I like Bradshaw and would love to have him back.

    Why don't we have a good offensive and defensive line?

    Dallas used 1st round draft picks on Tyron Smith, Travis Frederick and Eric Martin. Those three are just outstanding.

    The Jets used 1st round draft picks on Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson and Leonard Williams. Again, those three are just outstanding.

    Meanwhile, the Colts have used 1st round picks on Bjeorn Werner, Trent Richardson and Phillip Dorsett. Sure, it's easy to pick apart this stuff in hindsight, but investing early picks in "the trenches" would be a pleasant change. Signing career backups and drafting them in the late rounds to fill those voids obviously isn't panning out.

    Yes, and Colts have been 11-5 and advance one game further in the playoffs every year.  The Cowboys and Jets with their great o-lines do what?

    A few of those types of plays were called. But Luck was off target most of the game. Once the Colts got down as many as they were the run game wasn't going to help. Give credit to the Bills for playing the Colts perfect. I have a feeling no matter what the Colts did or didn't do wasn't going to work against the Bills and their stellar defense. They had a opening home game with a new coach and was super fired up. Hopefully the Colts Monday night game we will see the home field used to their advantage.

    I hope so too.

     

    On a side note...a Bears fan at work was making fun of me because the Colts didn't score as many points as the Bears did against the Packers.  He then stated that the Bears did that against the Packers top notch D which is waaaaayyyyy better than the Bills D.  I laughed in his face...
