Dear God please....

No more whining about the coaches.

Why? Of course there were some mistakes by players, there is every game. Luck isn't going to start talking about play selection in front of the media, he won't at all. It's a discussion that will be between Pagano and his coaches.

Mistakes of "hubris?" Huh? Luck made a dumb decision on the INT. Plain and simple. He also had a few other throws that were off. All QBs have these things happen. I don't think hubris had anything to do with it.

I agree. Hubris and AL don't belong in the same sentence. these were bad judgment mistakes and nothing more.

Because I'm not an airhead.

So this thinking there's more issues than player mistakes, more to it than Luck placing blame on himself, is being an airhead?

Lets say the problems were 100% on the coaches and every player knew it, do you think Luck would place the blame on the coaches in front of the media?

So Andrew is full of crap? He said he made mistakes. And listed several of them. So your position is that he didn't make mistakes? Or his mistakes didn't matter?

 I trust it.  But, it is not enough.  Tennis is a game against an opponent.  Mistakes are called errors. But they are broken down. Unforced errors, and Forced errors.  What type of mistake did Luck ( and others) have? Forced errors, or unforced errors?  Just curious.  :)

You cannot be serious?!

Are YOU serious?  One example of one of Luck's 'mistakes'  -

 

IE: Did luck throw an INT to Wayne in the end zone taking us out of scoring because-

 

A. He locked onto Wayne and tried to force it in there even if there were other open targets (unforced error!)

 

B. He tossed it up to Wayne under heavy duress not knowing if there were other open targets hoping Wayne could make yet another spectacular play?  (Forced error!)

 

Get it?

 

Fixing it would be a  different solution depending upon the cause.

If you're watching the press conferences/Q&A sessions, it is apparent that Andrew Luck is ticked off/uncomfortable with his week 2 performance.

Between him & Pagano talking, its clear that they feel too many player's mistakes cost us the game.

Here's to hoping for a solid week of disciplined preparation on both sides of the ball. I'm conceding SF a grip of yards & points. So its going to be up to Andrew & the offense to make it a shootout.

GO COLTS!!

Not to blame the officiating a little too!!

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
