Frustrated Pagano tough on Luck after loss

The Colts were a mess from the beginning Monday night and were ultimately doomed by five turnovers — three Andrew Luck interceptions — in a 20-7 loss to the Jets.

After the game, Colts coach Chuck Pagano didn’t try to hide his frustration with his quarterback and his team as a whole.

“He’s got to take care of the football,” Pagano said in his postgame press conference. “It’s not that hard. It’s not trigonometry.”

The simple math says that the Colts have scored three touchdowns and committed eight turnovers through two games, both losses.

“Can’t turn the damn ball over,” Pagano said.

Gregg Doyel of the Indianapolis Star, who was at the game and at the postgame press conference, wrote that Pagano was “throwing Luck under the bus.”

While the Jets clearly frustrated Luck with a variety of blitzes and sometimes just by simply overpowering them in one-on-one battles in the trenches, Pagano hinted that Luck has to overcome his line’s shortcomings.

“[That has] been the case for three years now, hasn’t it?” Pagano asked. “He should be more than comfortable dealing with it.”

He's an UFA in 2017.

*gulp*

Luck to Denver will never happen. They will give him $130 million reasons to stay..that or the franchise tag x2

I guess this was the same board that thought the Hawks were going to actually trade Wilson

and the same board that wouldn't have traded 2 first round picks for Wilson

so yeah

par for course

Just hilarious, HILARIOUS, to hear Chiefs fans giving a QB a pass because of the OL

Well that kinda was my hidden agenda. The Chiefs just played two teams with ridiculous front sevens. Not surprising that the offense struggled. But no one will point out the obvious for fear of making excuses.

Quarterbacks are paid several millions of dollars to NOT give the ball to the opposing team. He's holding his precious, delicate genius accountable.

Pretty sure Frank Gore fumbled on the one yard line and Luck was constantly scrambling out of the pocket because his offensive line is a patchwork mess. But that's all on Luck. The acquisitions of Frank Gore and Andre Johnson, both of whom haven't done shit and are past their prime, guess that's on Luck too. Chuck needs to watch what he says to the media or he'll be looking for a job pretty soon.

That's going to happen anyway. I like Pagano until this. Now he can go **** himself.

Oh yeah, in addition to Luck and CJ Anderson I have Gore as well. My FF season is already over.

Indy can eat shit and die.


I hope he signs a 150 million contract with them, and blows out every ligament in his legs during the biggest cap hit year.

I support this message

A good question would be if the colts miss the playoffs, How much money will the colts be willing to pay luck for a mediocre season.

[oaklandhater]

Just how bad the colts have been at drafting Defense

Stat you don't expect to see: Andrew Luck, Colts 2012 1st round pick, has more tackles (2) than Colts 2013 1st round pick, Bjoern Werner (1)
