I'm not disagreeing with you. One thing that people seem to be stuck on tho, is that they feel the defense wasn't good enough. I'm not saying that's wrong but I think people should consider how the NE game went down. The costly turnover by Cribbs put the defense in a no win situation and cost them 7 points. The most important factor of the game, IMO, was that the offense could not stay on the field and constantly were putting the defense back out on the field with short rest. This is not unlike what occurred the years Manning was here. The offense was stymied by NE defense. The offense put the defense in a bad situation and by the end of the 3rd quarter the defense had nothing left.

If the footballs had been inflated properly it would have been a different story :highfive:

Yeah. It's hard to play defense when you are down but improvement is needed on both sides of the ball.

Would it be possible for you to bring something to the forum other than negativity? As long as your in that let's fire everyone mind frame you will never be happy. I guess you think good coaches and great players grow on trees and Grigson and Irsay just need to go pick some.?

Funny,you sound like the only one that's mad.Typical Colts board.Never say anything unless it agrees with the masses or unless its hailing Luck.The fact is,if Pags didnt have Luck,we win about 4 games.Chuck is not ready for this level of the game.Period.

Ya ya,we got to the playoffs 3 times with Pagano yada yada yada.Of course we did.A stellar qb,couple great receivers and a cream puff schedule will do that.The goal is to get that ring.

Your kinda building a straw man arguement here by trying to saying Pagano would only win x amount if games without Luck. If we didn't have him we would likely still have Peyton so you might as well guess at how many games we would win under that scenario too.

We have TY,moncreif, carter and whalen with the option to bring back Nicks and Wayne(retirement).. Why is everyone so concerned about the WR position? Ty has proven himself, Moncreif needs some work but looks solid and Whalen works the slot really well. We do not need the best WR corps in the league every year, jeez.

RB is the least of my worries. It doesn't matter who runs the ball if we cannot block! OLINE AND DEFENSE. PLZ

I am glad you put your own spin on my comment. You are new here so maybe  it would be a good idea to actually know what your talking about before assuming anything.

    • I elaborated in a later post, as a reference to DougDew’s past arguments that it was purely luck that Raimann outplayed his draft slot. Then my contention that it was still Ballard and not another GM that took the swing to be the beneficiary thus not letting Raimann’s draft fall go to waste and cash in, so he deserves credit for that.   Flash forward, same thing with Mitchell.
    • It makes far more sense when you bring in other GMs into it because unless you do it, knowing that you’re a Grigson fan, it felt you were trying everything to discredit Ballard.
    • And @Superman.  When did I ever say that Ballard didn't have the player he selected as his BPA the time he selected him?    The luck comes into play when a talented player such as AM or Raimann falls and is your BPA when you're on the clock.  Its not like Ballard knew they would be there, and finally pulled the trigger before one of the other 31 GMs caught on to what he knew all along.   Ballard himself said he had no idea how this stuff plays out, and that he got lucky (that the guy he had as his BPA on the board was so talented).  Me and Chris seem to see the draft working the same way I guess.    As far as Raimann, who appears to be a top 10 OT that was picked after a struggling AP and Woods...for whatever reason he was picked behind them.....the situation is no different than other players who turned out better than their draft slot would suggest:  Polian got lucky that Mathis turned out to be the player he did. (He had no idea). NE with Brady. (had no idea)  SF with Purdy. (had no idea).  And Ballard with Raimann.  Why would I choose to tell myself that Ballard's benefit from Raimann being a better player than he and every other 31 GM thought he would be (this early), is different than the luck Polian, BB, and Lynch benefitted from?    In the interview, Ballard is being candid.  He is telling us that he (and other GMs) get lucky, when the convo is about specific players sometimes.
    • Another factor is pressure rate. You do realize that the Colts drafted a guy named Latu and hired a dline coach named Partridge for a reason... right?
    • The Eagles love Rodgers so much that their first 2 picks were cornerbacks.
