watching the live press conference from Ballard on FB now. well, the season is a loss anyway. 2011 all over again. I hope we clean up in the draft.

Great. The second half of this season and an entire off-season of Andrew Luck speculation, theories, and etc. It's going to be brutal.

I wouldn't put him out there with that line, don't blame them a bit ... :cool:

Eagles signed QB Nate Sudfeld off their practice squad.

According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, another team (we're now hearing it was the Colts) forced the Eagles' hand by trying to poach him off the practice squad. A sixth-round pick out of Indiana in 2016, Sudfeld will handle third-string duties behind starter Carson Wentz and backup Nick Foles. Nov 1 - 5:32 PM

Agree. Remember his plan to step back and let his daughters take over once the transition from Polian to Grigson/Pagano was done? He should revisit that plan. Hiring Grigson and Pagano were terrible decisions. He then doubled down by re-signing both. Then he fucked up some more by waiting too long to fire Grigson and hire Ballard. So that he was forced to fuck up some more by not firing Pagano.

We were in perfect position to dominate the South and go on a decade long playoff run, but Irsay hired two inexperienced losers to run the team. Luck suffered through years of a terrible line, an incongruent offensive system that didn't get better by changing OCs, a coaching staff that doesn't play its best players, and a front office that couldn't build a quality roster. And now the cornerstone franchise QB might be broken. Irsay, Grigson, and Pagano did their best to David Carr their meal ticket out of the league.

Fuck this is frustrating.

“This new staff came in and said, ‘We’re going to be the toughest guys on the block. We’re going to get big road graders, run, stop the run.’ In Indianapolis? With Andrew Luck? In a division where you play 10 games in perfect weather every year? The team you have to beat is Tom Brady and the New England Patriots? And you want to come in and play like you’re playing in the AFC North? That contributed to it because you didn’t have a pass protecting line,” Polian said.



Polian is so, so correct. It just highlights the insanity of ever hiring Pagano and pissing on "Star Wars numbers" in the first place. And the fact we got exactly what we always were going to get as a result.

Which isn't to be read as hating Pagano. But hating what Irsay did with the direction he took this franchise.
