B, D, and a little bit of A with the front office. The team was chugging along until the move was made to trade Danny Granger. Granted he wasn't going to see the court much, but they could have waited until the off season to make a move. It changed the team. Evan Turner was under used by the coaching staff in favor of guys like CJ Watson who failed at every turn, etc...

A and a little bit of B.We didn't have the personnel to matchup with the Hawks and to some extent the Wizards, but I do agree somewhat that Vogel stayed too loyal to certain players that were not motivated.. so I guess a little bit of C as well.

A,B.C. & D  You win as a team, you lose as a team!  Top to bottom.

I don't like all the finger pointing and the blame game going on right now.

Not too many years ago the Pacers stunk up Bankers Life to high heaven!!!

They have come a long way, they are a top flight team the past few years.

 

Have they achieved their and the fans goals for them, NO! they just aren't there yet.

I personally have enjoyed watching the Pacers the past couple of years more than in a long long time, maybe since Reggie retired.

 

If I had to choose what had the biggest negative effect of the team this year, I say the Granger trade, I think it was an underestimation by the team how much of a leader on and off the court he was to the players, it seemed something was lost by the players after he was gone.  Anyway, that's my 2bits. 

 

This is a relatively young team, no need to throw in the towel on the future!

      Practice Squad

      By Indianapolis-Colts-Fan · Posted

      The criteria is the Colts want to keep you but you’re a fringe player. It all comes down to how much the Colts like your nephew. He could surprise and if he does they may not want to put him on the PS out of fear of losing him to another team. The good thing is the Colts love their oline players, and will keep lower level draft picks/UDFA lineman over other positions. There’s quite a few later round guys the colts have kept on that have shown to be pretty good level guys with bright futures.    there’s not really any criteria for being signed to the PS other than they want to see how much better a guy can get over there.    most of the time, an older guy is either ineligible for the PS because of how many games he’s started, or it’s not worth it because you see what the guy is over what he can become (as he’s been in the league a while).   odds are the younger guy gets signed to the ps over the older guy.

      Remember all those years we watched Mannings fluttering passes downfield? 100 Int's even over his 1st 5 seasons. Not counting many Playoff interception disasters.  No flutters for AR ! Just less closing time for the D.

      I just read the article on Stampede Blue.  It’s an old clip of him dunking.     I’m pretty sure they told him not to do that during this time.  He did say he’d be throwing with the guys.

      Practice Squad

      By JMichael557 · Posted

      I am always impressed with the knowledge on this forum so I thought I would ask a question about the practice squad as opposed to trying to figure it out on my own.   We have a UDFA Dalton Tucker on the OL (Guard Tackle) Currently listed as 3rd team behind Q and Stills. He is my nephew-in-law and a great young man. He is a good OL with a lot of flexibility or otherwise the Colts would not have signed him. However would be a very long shot to make the team at this time due to the returning player and two OL draft picks.  The question is how many OL do we normally keep on the Practice Squad and what are the criteria? In all my years of following the Colts have just not paid attention to the details. If it came down to Stills or Dalton for the PS is Stills or Pinter eligible and would you put a more veteran player on the PS or would you prefer a younger player assuming you thought he could develop? Pay-wise do all PS players get the same? I also understand that PS players attend home games on the sidelines and practice with the team since they are designated as practice squad. Any information is appreciated as I will be following this aspect a lot closer this fall.

      I thought he said he wasn’t going to play BB?  How old is that video?
