This was blatantly obvious. And that is how good Manning and Luck have been because they've had utter crap teams for 20 years.

0-16 is not possible at all. If Luck plays 12 games they’ll win a minimum of 5.

Screw it, we're a basketball state anyway.

Lol at all the Colts fans that convinced themselves Tolzien was the right choice. Dude should be playing in Canada

Pagano just needs to go. Should have been gone years ago, no excuse for Ballard to bring him back this year. His stupidity and ineptitude is like a disease that translates to the entire team. How many times during his tenure has this team came out of the gates so obviously unprepared? It would be easier to pick out the times they were. I'm sick of his stupid sayings and his overall lackadaisical vibe, it's insulting at this point just to hear him talk. Get this clown out of Indy Ballard!!

Ballard didn’t bring him back, Irsay did.

I read something pretty interesting and it made a lot of sense. They knew this season would be rough with Ballard tearing down the team so why not keep Pagano let him deal with it, and after a horrible season you fire him and hire your new guy when the rebuild really starts. Idk I found it interesting.

Yep this is what I think as well. The roster is so bad that we need a few years to build that up. Let Pagano take some of those lumps this year.

[mdn82 26,344]

So God forbid Luck has a setback and they were to shut him down. But what happens if he is out for long enough the Colts end up with a top 3 pick? Trade back? Keep it and go BPA? This is a QB heavy first round. Could be interesting as I don't see any scenario Luck gets traded, but they could look to gather assets for a quicker build.

So we lost to the 49ers too apparently. 

Sorry if that's been brought up. But wow

In Pagano's defense, Belichick often feels he is playing Appalachian State.

Yep me and someone else just had that same conversation and came to the same conclusion that this was Irsay's call. It makes no sense to me anyways as I feel Pagano sets us back each game he's coach.

With the going price for early first rounds I’d trade back and likely get multiple firsts over the next two drafts.

Awesome to see Jaylon Smith back on the field and succeeding after that terrible knee injury.

I truly think any team could put a premium on it and still hit their price much like the Rams when they knew the Redskins were taking RG3. This is one hell of a year to suck and not need a QB.

So I'm a bit annoyed by the Ballard hate. I don't know what people were expecting from him this off-season, and what they thought he was gonna do. The ceiling of the roster the last few years was getting smashed in the AFC Championship game, and even then we had to overachieve quite a bit that year to do that. Last 3 years we've just been living in mediocrity even with Luck's heroics a lot of the time. I'd rather take down the roster and suck while not overpaying for vets than just retool a roster that was broken outside of Luck and a few others. 

Some people seem to have wanted him to go out and overpay vets this past offsason and are pissed he didn't

Yeah he cannot really get a grade pro or con for a little bit - unless of course his picks this year all bomb out early. We also cannot suggest he is doing really well for a few years.

Marcus Thigpen has signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL and assigned to its practice squad.  He last played in 2015 for the Buffalo Bills.

I don't know if Moncrief's girlfriend broke up with him or something, but just ask to sit on the bench the rest of the game. Can't remember the last time I saw a wide out care this little
