Pagano is buttering them up. Hopefully it works and they're flat to start.

Why is Wayne still in? Did we not activate Whalen, I assume?

I'm not expecting it, but I am hoping Pagano and crew are gone next year. I'm willing to give Grigson another year or two though to see how the players do under new coaching.

By the way, Khalid Holmes looked like shit in pass coverage on the fumble play.

I still think one more year, I would be more patient with Grigson except the O-line still sucks and the T.Rich trade was a complete disaster. You simply cannot let your franchise QB get the shit beat out of him week after week, year after year.

Grigson traded him at halftime to the Browns for Johnny Football.

Pulled for safety purposes

I think Pagano gets another year too, but you never know with Irsay. NFL coaches are such a crapshoot.... basically just a revolving door of the same names. At any rate, I don't see this team being a Super Bowl contender soon, but I thought the same thing in 2005 as well. However, we don't have a Bob Sanders on this D.

I still like Mike Adams and Toler and Davis. Easy to pick on this secondary, but we have no pass rush.

Can you imagine what a difference it would make if we could have the Cowboys or Patriots offensive lines?
Will that fumble stand? Would be nice to have something positive, however ultimately meaningless it is.

Jim Nantz was more confused than a submarine with a screen door... guess that happens when you are forced to be with Phil Simms.

Playing Herron more hasn't made much of a difference today. Our offensive line hasn't done the job. Nixon and Holmes playing and haven't looked any better.

That right there is why the Freeman flag annoys me most. Yeah you can start a shoving match without a flag, but if you talk to the other team in an aggressive way that is a penalty. Bullshit double standard.

It's pretty sad when your special teams players seem to be the only unit who gives a damn.

I don't remember Nantz being so awful doing NFL games, but he is really bad these days. It's enough to make you wonder if he's even in the stadium or in some closet somewhere watching the game on a 10 inch screen.

If I'm Luck I'm telling Irsay/Grigson, Get an O-line or I am hitting free agency when my contract is up.

I'm sick of this OL. WE are lucky to have 10 wins. I just remember Peyton having the same exact issues. Change coaches GM still the same ole scene.

One big advantage Peyton has over Luck is his ability to make a quick read of the defense at the snap and know where to go with it at that point.

Yep, Scott.... He has a career to think about and where best to make the most of it. Right now, it isn't looking good that this is the place!

I'm still ticked that the coaching staff ran the ball 3 straight plays to start the game, because they were content with a fake punt.

Football is a mental game for Manning. The snap is almost always won or lost prior to the actual snap.

Luck still has some things to work on as a QB. Like learning how to make back shoulder throws reading defenses better.

Manning got rid of the ball in an average of 1.7 seconds. He read the D and knew where he was going with it most times. Made the OL look better than they were. Luck makes the OL look better because he moves around... but I think the constant pressure has him rattled now so he is making very poor decisions... ten turnovers in 4 1/2 games!

Our two biggest problems are we can't rush the passer and we can't run block, that's an even bigger problem than the poor pass protection. If we can at least run some, pass blocking becomes easier, makes it easier for our receivers to get open.

There is no doubt the constant pressure is causing Luck to make far too many mistakes

Please let us score some points here. Don't care if it is FG or TD, just something.
