MTC Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Another reason to fire Pagano. Seriously. Leave Pep alone and let him call his own plays the way he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougDew Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Pagano was doing what a HC is suppossed to be doing, giving his coordinator strategic direction. He's not calling the plays, but telling his OC what the strategy should be. During the TN game, I saw Pags go over to Pep and say "use the clock", meaning slow things up. If that's what he really told Pep, I think his strategy was wrong. The shorter game stuff would have been more effective, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfinKal Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Now he is asking to be fired. Mr. Irsay, please oblige him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbear Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Hard to say with Pagano since he always throws himself under the bus rather than anyone else. At that point we were down two TDs, so going up tempo was not a big deal anyway. Had we gone away from it when it was close, then yes, that's a problem.

crazycolt1 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 With being down two scores I think that is what most coaches would do. But that don't fit into the mindset of firing someone. IMO the Colts played the patriots as good if not better than any team has all season. The Colts made enough mistakes not to win the game but they did have some outside help. The concept of a team in progress is beyond some peoples mind thought process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoolMagnet Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 On the bright side....There seems to be plenty of people here that seem to think they can run the team.Think of the money Irsay will save. He only needs a taxi cab, not the jet to bring candidates in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indianapolis-Colts-Fan Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 You call long developing plays uptempo?I would think maybe run the 2 minute drill everyonce in a while. I don't know why we have to throw deep. Gore was killing them, wear them down and we will be making big gains, and THEN throw Bradshaw in to finish them off. 10 minutes left plenty of time. Keep calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtJ82 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I'm starting to get the impression that maybe Pagano is just done and is pushing to be fired. Its almost like he is giving Grigson the finger evry chance he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOMDColtsfan Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 That 1st drive was a thing of beauty, that's how you beat the Patriots. The same way teams used to beat Peyton when he was with the Colts. Keep them ( Manning, Brady) on the bench with long time consuming drives. I really thought the Colts were going to keep running the ball but nope, 26 consecutive passes at one point.. have to stay balanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

will426 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Um tbh in the 4 th we didn't need to go run heavy we needed that uptempo because in the 3rd we didn't run it at all that's where the run should've come in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOMDColtsfan Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Almost every Colts game it feels like they make it harder than it has to be. They find things that work and then get away from it on offense, then every week talk about it afterwards how they need to be more balanced or go to the check downs. The check down passes to Gore were working great, gained good yardage. Pick up 3-4-5 yards a play, keep the chains and clock moving. The Colts don't have a defense that allows the offense to go 3 and out and bombs away constantly putting the likes of a Tom Brady back on the field with more offensive possessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defjamz26 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I don't get it because you can go up-tempo while running the ball. Just run it to the outside and add in some check downs here and there. There was no reason for them to keep passing.At one point there was like 8 mins in the 4th and they were throwing like crazy.

PeterBowman Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I can actually understand why they did it in the 4th quarter.....but what about the 3rd when it was still a tight game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can correlate Pagano wanting to go uptempo to not wanting to run the ball. You can still do both, but I think Pep took it as "chunk play time!".

I said this before the game, and when we came out dinking and dunking I even said to my bro-in-law, WE'RE DOING IT!! PEP LEARNED!!! Then we resorted back to the old way, and only scored in garbage time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
