Irsay just has high expectations. As he should.

True, maybe I just interpreted the article wrong.

 

Youre right. Irsay should have high expectations, but at the rate things are going, he should not expect the team to get to the super bowl.

 

Does that make sense? Kind of confusing I guess

Jim Irsay should probably hold off on that Superbowl expectation, so he does not get AS dissapointed if/when it does not come to fruition.

Basically he's expecting the Coaching staff and Grigson to get things back on track and get the playoffs out of the way so they can focus on the Superbowl game. Far easier said than done obviously.

I'm not sure if Irsay truly feels the team is capable of accomplishing this feat, but if he does than everyone has their work cut out for them this point forward. I suggest Jim Irsay just hamper his expectations, see how everything plays out and then make his decisions after he sleeps on it.

I hope the Colts turn things around...totally possible but boy, it's going to take a lot to right the ship!

 

Added to our frustration is the fact that the Pats are having a great season and whispers of Brady being the G.O.A.T (which could NEVER happen IMO, because of the cheating, and the fact that Joe Montana never lost a SB and never had an int. in a SB, but that's another topic).

Cant overlook Terry Bradshaw. He won 4 super bowls back to back two times. 2 super bowl MVPs all while calling his own plays. But like you say, that's another topic. :)

They held their own against NE, except for a stupid play, though they could have done better with the run in the second half.

 

When New Orleans came to town, the entire team fell apart, coaching included.  I can't figure out what happened.  

I have a theory...They had 10 days to prepare for NE due to the Thursday night game and so they had a little extra prep time coaches and players. They blew chunks on that fake punt fiasco and I think it hung over to the next week. U can't tell me that even a pro team isnt effected by negative press and second guessing. That's my theory

why would the owner of an NFL team expect anything less than the best?

 

would he be a good owner if he said, "you know what...almost half in to season and we havent come out on fire...so id assume we wont the rest of the year. We suck, look at our roster...we will be lucky to not lose every game moving forward."

 

i think that might make a few here happy....but that is a weak leader. A leader knows no matter the adversity, he must rally his troops and lead them to the end game. If Patton would have said....well on paper these tanks are good, but we lost a few little skirmishes...the war? yea, no way we can win that after getting knocked down a few times. ...

 

People want expectations to be met...but wen there is hardship...Judas....most all of the "fans" ive seen lately.

 

What you think about is what you bring about...and wen the collective thoughts are negative....

Well since he refuses to do anything about Pep you could say that. If his hands are tied with Pep then I'd be making it known. I would have went to Irsay a long time ago

 

I loved Pags' comment about Luck not having enough time to throw the ball...."Well, he's been doing it for three yers so he's used to it."

If Irsay thinks a superbowl is still attainable with this poor roster and bad coaching he needs to really reevaluate his team. Or put down the glass rose and chore boy.

Yeah, the stress of the season has made Big Jim delusional...or else he has gotten some new really weird stuff.

 

It's over, Jim...you can 'let 'er rip' with the changes any time.

Irsay isn't delusional. He knows what he wants. Grigson just got cocky and bit off more than he could chew, and seems to have convinced Irsay in the offseason that this was a Super bowl team.

Grigson's desires for multiple Super Bowls and his comments about Polian a few months back are exactly why you won't see Grigson after this season. My only disagreement is that I don't think this team has disappointed this year. I think they overachieved the first 3 years due to a lot of favorable circumstances. You can win multiple SBs with Luck but it'll take time. And Irsay needs to realize that. Find a GM who is going to take the time to build a good roster with a strong young nucleus, and not just draft a mixed bag of players, overpay a few FAs and say he's got a Super Bowl team. The SB is the goal every year but Irsay needs to be patient and hire a GM who understands that. Luck is only 26, you've got plenty of time.

    • They won't suspend him; he did not commit an offense that warrants suspension. He might be cut to prevent a distraction, but I highly doubt that. It has almost a zero chance of happening. The Chiefs have said nothing.     My older sister worked in corporate America before she got married. When she was having her second child, she decided to quit working to stay home to care for the children. She and her husband had the means to do so and it worked out very well. After their children grew up, they decided to run their own business. So, she never worked for another person again. But that was their choice.   Our family attended her second's son commencement ceremony last Saturday. I would have been disappointed to listen to someone give a political speech. Thankfully, all the speakers gave the graduates words of inspiration, encouragement and optimism for the future. Arthur Blank addressed the graduates and was fantastic.  
    • If there's a team JJ can start right away on though, it's you guys. Between Jefferson, Addison, and TJ, he can just throw the ball up and someone will catch it. 😂   Watching his film though, he does tend to under throw receivers deep. It's weird, because he was the best QB on third down, and he was so accurate on short and intermediate depth throws. Likely needs some time in the weight room, so a redshirt wouldn't be the worst thing.
    • Woah! I spent $80 after tax and fees for high nosebleeds last year (Raiders) for my first Colts game. I always asked for tickets for Christmas every year growing up in the Peyton era, but never got it. I was a broke college student working 2 jobs living in Indy during the Luck era and couldn't afford it/always working.   I'm gonna try this. This might be a yearly thing for my wife and me if it works out. Thanks for the suggestion!  
    • I think Darnold will be the QB. I'd like McCarthy to have a red-shirt year.
    • I am a firm believer in free speech even though I may not agree with all peoples opinions. I certainly agree women have a right to have children and still participate in the work place. I do however would like for them to have their children placed in a safe environment. Personally my wife did not work and was home to raise my children which was our desire but certainly respect those who's wife though choice or necessity works outside the home. I do believe strongly in one thing he alluded to and that the country would be in better shape if children had strong fathers.   I would be shocked and disappointed if the NFL or the Chiefs decided to suspend him. Many are still in the league who in my opinion have done much worse.
