Same old Colts.

Say it with me: 8-8 is great!

Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano to return for sixth season in 2017

Crap.

 

[halfmileharry]

Pagano and Grigson have a clean slate now.
They either produce or they've destroyed their NFL careers.
I figure they're rookies as well and need to grow into their jobs.
This is all the leeway and grace I will give them.

Crap...for a couple of reasons, I was hoping that Saban rumor were true.

I didn't see anything about Grigson staying in the article, so is he staying also? They both should probably have gone, but if I had a choice and had to keep one, then I'd keep Pagano and give Grigson the boot.

Saban's last stint in the NFL wasn't anything to brag about. Some coaches are best left at the college level.
Harbaugh on the other hand would be welcomed. He took a loathsome 49ers team and took it to the top with a very average offense.
Defense wins championships. It's a worn out saying but holds true.
in '06 when the Colts finally brought home the bacon it was the D that pulled them through.
The present day Colts have a good offense though dumb at times. (coaching?) Give us a pass rush and a couple of solid outside linebackers and this team SHOULD be in the 12 win category.

Well poop.

That sure sounds like Grigson is staying as well. Wonder what all that Manning talk was about? Can't see Manning as a GM, but he sure couldn't do worse than Grigson. I'd rather see Manning helping out Luck read defenses and make better decisions from where ever he lands in the front office (if that happens).

Wise move for Irsay. Competing with the likes of Denver, San Diego, LA, SF, and Buffalo for a good coach would not be in his best interest right now.

The Colts won't be competing with the likes of those teams on the field, either. Heck, now, they can't even compete against the teams in their own division - the worst division in the NFL.

Truth! We continue to celebrate mediocrity in the worst division in the league. Ugh! 2017 will be yet another one.

Sounds like Irsay is going all in and I guess we'll find out just how strong his hand is here.

Either he's going to look like a genius next year and the Colts finally wake up and pull off a 12-4 type season a deep playoff run, or he's going to have essentially squandered just about all the brand equity the franchise has built in the last 20 years. That's a pretty big gamble, so we'll see if he can pull it off.

The Colts are in a tough market here, with a lot of loyal Bears, Browns, Bengals, and Lions fans, and really even a pretty good population of Packers, Steelers, and Titans fans. The Colts had to win over a lot of those fans when they first came to Indy, and it would be a shame to start losing the fan base due to mediocrity.

Dang... it's Sunday and no NASCAR, no Colts and I can't even root for Peyton.

The wild card games were not that good either.

 

[w_ADAM_d88]

I'll be pulling for the Dolphins today since that's my dad's team and then for the NFC game I'll be pulling for the Packers.

 

[halfmileharry]

I agree BUT it won't be long 'til there's NO football.

It's a LONG wait 'til next year.

But Supercross is back. (Yes, I know it's not REAL motocross, but it's something to watch until the REAL motocross starts. )

Supercross? Is that like Advanced Crossfit or something?

 

[churchmouse]

Not one good game this weekend.

 

[halfmileharry]

None of the teams I wanted to win actually showed up. I'm ok with it. I'm a Colts fan and have been conditioned to like it.

 

[jbombelli]

This thread makes me sad every time I see it. It isn't about Walker Colts, or Dragoons, or Peacemakers, the Colt Navy, etc.

 

[sharkey]

Not one good game this weekend.

The Colts didn't lose to a Pee-Wee caliber team this weekend though.




That's something, right?





Guys?





Anybody?
