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.”

Hah.

Without a doubt.

Ok, this is CP. Andrew Luck sucks and we'd rather have Wilson.

I can't wait to see Luck crash and burn!

You may well be right when the dust settles, but Wilson wouldn't be much better on the Colts. That team is pretty bad. Lacking talent and the coaching is atrocious. Probably worse than the Chiefs.

Wait until that Seattle D goes to shit. The Real Wilson will be exposed.

Colts o-line has sucked since he got there and Grigson cant draft defense if his like depended on it

Yeah, poor Colts and their never ending O-line issues. Perhaps they should hire some consultants. Wait, I know...

The Seahawks D has lost 4th quarter leads in their last 5 losses. They've been missing Chancellor and Wagner at times. Even when they're all together, they look lost. They're certainly not the best defense in the league like we're accustomed to seeing.

But offensively, the Seahawks may be in even worse shape than the Colts. Wilson, as mobile as he is, has already been sacked a ridiculous 31 times this season. We think our offensive line is bad and yet Smith's only been sacked 25 times.

And aside from Graham, their offensive weapons aren't all that great. Hilton/Moncrief/Dorsett/Johnson/Fleener vs Baldwin/Kearse/Lockett/Graham. Is either set unequivocally better than the other?

They need to just clean house, completely.

The team needs a new identity on both sides of the ball.
