Darby earlier mugged TY Hilton and got away with it. Just a moment ago, 28 yard return on an INT

Rex's D was crazy good. Darby was a monster. Gore looked good early.

D sucked the first half for the colts. Early lead by Bills took the Colts out of their gameplan. Colts outplayed them in the second half, but it was too late. Rex is going to beat a lot of teams this year with that D. QB play for the Bills was good today (better than expected), but still a big question mark.

I don't think he'll be gone after this year, but next year is a possibility. Not going to judge him on this game. OL wasn't that good, and Rex's D was fantastic.

I thought he's on the last year of his contract so thats why i was thinking this year unless they dont think they have any better options available. I think the inability to put together a decent defense which is what i thought was his main strength is whats gonna get him canned, that and still not improving the o-line. Lucks gonna get killed at some point, our offense would be unstoppable with a decent o-line cus Luck is gonna be Luck, im still pissed about drafting a WR with our first pick when pretty much every other position besides QB was higher priority

1 year left on his deal right?

I wonder who is REALLY making the draft decisions. I was pissed to about their drafts this year. We haven't had a truly good D except for a few years going back to the Peyton days, so not dinging him all that much there. I'm blaming the GM more than I blame CP. OL is a place where I thought they'd focus on this year in the draft, D second.

yes, but who are they going to get. it's not like they haven't gone farther in the playoffs each year over the last 3 seasons.
I'm not a big believer in contracts either.

I would think just about every coach would be dying to go there due to Luck. I don't think Pagano is a bad coach, but I think he's very average. If they don't make a deep playoff run, I think Grigson at the very least should be gone. Just doesn't put enough emphasis on OL/DL, and Luck is easily good enough at this point that he really just needs a strong line. I thought they should've improved the OL and defense instead of spending money on Gore and Andre Johnson....and the Dorsett pick blew my mind since you guys took Moncrief the year before in the 2nd round. I actually like the Colts minus the Deflategate thing, but I just don't think the team is built that well. I'd trust them in the playoffs to win a shootout at home, but wouldn't trust them to win on the road. I know they beat the Broncos last year, but that was a passing team that had to re-design their offense on the fly and were pretty terrible to end last season.

I feel that we need more defensive minded coach and GM. Pagano is a great guy but that doesn't win football games. Don't know who I would like to see as the HC I will have to put some thought into it.

The defense and OL should of been the main concerns when heading into the offseason but obliviously that was not the case. The Colts should of taken the DL player that the Pats took from Texas but instead we added another guy with the same qualities as T.Y. Hilton, blows my damn mind.

To put the Colts into perspective for me they remind me of the Lakers when they spent money on Nash and he never panned out. Why do we need Frank Gore if we are behind every game because we can't stop anyone. It makes the RB position irrelevant and not needed when Luck has to throw 49 times to get us back into the game.

Very frustrated this year with my football teams, first the injury bug bites a great ND team and now the Colts can stop a cold!

Psst. The solution lies in the state to the north of Indiana.

Jimmy Hairball / Captain Comeback for Indy Coach. Won't happen, but I'd like it.

Chuck is a good guy, but I think he's a victim somewhat of the GMs drafts. It's really hard for me to get down on a guy who has improved his playoff situation each year.

Yes, OL and D need to be the priority. Glad they got Gore, but didn't need another FA WR, or a drafted WR.

Is it really so crazy to think that Harbaugh is out of the question? Irsay would drop some serious dough for him. And Chuck Strong bought Pagano a lot of time IMHO. The coaching hasn't been the biggest problem either. Grigson consistently misses when identifying talent. Especially in the early rounds.
