Lol this is a joke he has helped us incredibly and I have no idea how inheriting a brand new rebuilding team and expecting to win a ring the fourth year while taking the job isn't expected. Keep Pagano

Ian is pretty good solid info. Doubt this is something to be taken lightly. Him & Adam S. are usually on top of things

Personally, I wouldn't mind a more hard nose coach. Like a Rex Ryan kinda guy or Belicheck kinda guy

Pagano is just too nice imo

Rapoport is actually a really awful source, I think he makes up half the stuff he says.

Quite honestly, I believe this really to be a make or break year for Pagano. The Colts have the pieces in place now and have shown themselves to be more than capable of getting to the mountain top. New England remains the one challenger in the way. If Pagano gets the Colts past them and to the top of the mountain, you'll see him be the Colts coach for a long time. However, if he doesn't and the Colts underperform this season, you likely won't see him return.

 

It's a simple business.

Pagano also said at the owners meeting that if they didn't fix the run defense "they'll find somebody else who will."

then get rid if Grigs too I'm not saying to now I just mean if the run D is still poor after the season he better hope his FA turn things around for us cause there were alot of good players out there this year

Get rid of the team builder? How does that make sense?

It's Grigson's fault we look top flight against some teams but get blown out against the same team year after year?

Considering he signs and drafts the players, yes, some (a lot) of the blame falls on him.

How? Allowing unknown RB's to go for 200yrds and 4TD against you isn't on Grigson. The Jags don't even allow those numbers and our roster is better than theirs

Yall aren't poaching Jim from us ): go blue

 

Even us Buckeyes feel so bad for your program that we wish Harbaugh can bring it back.  We need it to be the rivalry it was in the last century.

 

O  H  !!!

 

Besides, I'm not sure I'd want Harbaugh as a Colts coach anyway.  I'm happy with Chuck.

makes sense to me.  too bad CP was sick, so we only have 3 full years to evaluate him with.  he could stand to get better on coming up with game plans offensively and defensively.  the patriots were the better team, but we had the personal to make it a game. 

 

i dont know why we abandoned the run and didnt throw more to our tight ends and herron.

 

also we stuck with TR and landry far too long, and werner is one of our better run defenders but was inactive against the team that likes to run down our throat

Personally, I think our talent level is good, but not at Super Bowl level, yet. Yes, we were one game away from the Super Bowl, but we we realistically are no where near as talented as the two teams that actually played in the Super bowl, NE and Seattle. (I know that we still have the draft).

 

If this is a "make or break" season for Coach Pagano, then I feel bad for him. Our greatest weakness have always been and still remain the O-line and D-line. Coincidentally, those two areas were minimally addressed through FA. I foresee another season of bad but improving run defense (we were ranked #18, 26 previously), and continued issues at O-line. Yes, we can be hopeful that it has gotten better, but I will reserve being hopeful after so many years of sub-par O-line performances.

I think the players absolutely love to play for Pagano and that he's great at coaching up the DBs. On the other hand, I think he's easily out coached in the gameplan department and his in game adjustments, generally, boil down to praying Luck can be our savior.

    • True, but the usual assumption is first round drafted player starts and plays many snaps however, teams look for players who can grow into higher ceiling than they're currently. For example, DE Chop Robinson is said to be raw but has all the traits to develop to be a quality edge rusher one day. I'd not be surprised if Ballard drafts him for the potential. Or similar players who would've higher ceiling in future than being an instant starter right now.    Another assumption people generally make is that the perceived holes need to be filled in and the team needs to be complete after the draft while Ballard may not draft for this year alone but with the aim to get the roster much better and near complete in a couple of years.    The way Ballard has not yielded to the pressure of competing and paying more to bring in expensive free agents, even after acquiring rookie QB, seems to indicate that he's not looking at this year alone.   Ballard may just stand pat and go BPA for any position as long as they've the player ranked higher, even if fans think another player available in position of need could play as immediate starter in this team. 
    • Welcome once again to Dr. T’s annual, official, Colts Draft Contest for 2024! Believe it or not, this is the 25th year we are doing this since the first contest was the Edgerrin James draft of 1999! With only seven choices this year, we needed to be creative again. So, contestants will be asked to select an A, B, and C choice for ALL rounds. Correctly choosing choice A merits 5 points, while correctly choosing choice B or C instead will merit 4 and 3 points respectively. If one of your "A" selections is chosen, but in a different round than you predicted, you get 2 points, if one of your "B" selections is chosen in a different round than you predicted, you get 1 point, and if one of your "C" selections is chosen in a different round than you predicted, you get 0.5 points. In addition, we will have a bonus question again this year and give everyone the opportunity to predict if the Colts will trade their #15 pick! The choices will be: trade up, trade back, stay put or you can also abstain from guessing. Like last year, if you predict correctly, you earn one point, but if you are incorrect, you will be DEDUCTED one point. If you don’t want to risk it, you can also abstain (no harm, no foul). For those that do not answer this question, the default is that this is a vote to abstain. If AND ONLY IF there is no clear winner at the end of the 7 rounds of the draft, the contest will be extended for ALL participants in which everyone will also be awarded one point for each collegiate free agent you predicted would be drafted by the Colts but was instead signed by the Colts after the draft.  Make your choices here by listing the round, choice A, B, or C for each round, with the name of the player, position and school AND your prediction on whether the Colts will trade the #15 pick this year. You may also write with each choice a little blurb explaining your rationale. Your 21 Colts selections and draft question this year are as follows:   Round 1 - #15 A, B, C Round 2 - #46 A, B, C Round 3 - #82 A, B, C Round 4 - #117 A, B, C Round 5 - #151 A, B, C Round 6 - #191 A, B, C Round 7 - #234 A, B, C   BONUS: Will the Colts trade the #15 pick this year?  1) Yes, they will trade up. 2) Yes, they will trade back. 3) No, they will stay put. 4) I don’t want to risk losing a point and will abstain.   Please be a good sport and do not just copy other contestant's selections. You can easily do some research on your own, since plenty of free draft services are available on the web. You also can make changes to your selections, but this can only be done before the contest is closed on Thursday at 11:00 AM CST April 25, 2024, on the first day of the draft. Good luck and let the best GM win!  
    • I guess Im not that excited about the class for one thing, maybe Im missing something.  What I see is rookie DEs fighting for playing time if they got here, I dont see big upgrades over what we have.  I do see big upgrades elsewhere that would start, probably day 1
