I'd say they're still laughing at us when the game starts, then buckle down at halftime

Somebody should put the <still_waiting.jpg> meme in this thread. Not me, but somebody.

Just going to leave this here.

I like this one:

Here’s the breakdown of raw points in progression through each quarter (Points Earned vs Points Allowed):

1st (Even) | 2nd (+15) | 3rd (+6) | 4th (-44)

That's not a statistic. That's the author's supposition. Why is he referencing it as a statistic?

You didn't even read the article. No wonder you are so off on what good coaches look like.

Yes, I did, but that's irrelevant. In or out of context, the conjecture that the author cites as a statistic in the snippet you quoted from the article is not, and cannot be, a statistic. Statistics are based on data, which are factual points of reference. The sentence which contains the "stat" he references begins with "In theory", which implies a hypothetical scenario. That can't produce a statistic, by the definitions of statistic and data.

To give another example, I could say that I believe Andrew Luck will be the 2018 NFL MVP, throw for over 5,000 yards and 50 TDs with a 10:1 or better TD:INT ratio, and lead the Colts to a 15-1 record and their second championship in Indianapolis. I cannot, however, say that any of that is a statistic, because it is also conjecture.

You don't actually watch football do you?

Here are some stats from the article, which you clearly did not read:

That fucker Grigson only signed guys that play 3 qtrs of football- but he fucking paid them like they played 4! Stupid Grigson, if he gave Chuck guys that played 4 quarters of football, we would be undefeated right now.

Go team Pagano!

None of those statistics makes the author's conjecture that he cited as a statistic anything more than conjecture.

Eh, most of the close games the team has lost have been a result of a costly turnover at the wrong time from our young developing QB. I'd call it growing pains more than anything, which is exactly what you'd expect from a team that needed a great deal of its roster overhauled.

Stats are relevant? I never knew. What data would you accept as evidence? A proclamation from God?

If I worked for this organization and didn't care about having a job tomorrow I'd tape this post to the office doors of Irsay (not that he can read), Ballard and Pagano (not that he can read).

You are correct in that the author should not have used the word 'stat' in that sentence.

But man, you hold on to and argue the most inane points.

You arent even arguing what he was trying to say, you are just arguing about a word.

He loves to argue, proved him wrong once in old days when I gave a shit and he never posted in that thread again. Often seen arguing with inanimate objects such as stop signs etc ... :cool:

He is best tuned out, too bad always felt like he was intelligent and had a lot to offer, but with all this Pagano shit he has proven that wrong. Best ignored.

Pretty much has zero credibility. Too much of a pussy to admit he was wrong

You don't actually watch football do you?

There's been some talk that we are going to evolve to a viewing experience where you will be able to assign your viewing preference to specific players where a camera will basically ISO them for you in a corner of the screen in a split screen / red zone type experience (for a premium price of course) (Thursday night's telecast with the whole game in "sky view" was one of the first steps in this regard- which I hated by the way).

Imagine if you will a sort of DraftKings roster display where fans get to pick the player they want their game focused on. You'd have a list that would start at the top with:

Brady= 457,638 Total viewers / 387,653 MA / 28,265 NY, 13,543 CA...etc
Rodgers= 398,543 Total viewers / 298,435 WI / 64,342 MN / 23,459 IL...etc
Brown= 287,543 Total viewers / 267,543 PA / 16,543 WV...etc
and on down the list of star players in the NFL who make the game fun to watch...

You could then scroll to the bottom...At the very bottom of the list...
Pagano= 1 / 1 IN

...and there every week would reside Dam with his custom ordered Colts stitched jersey with the number of 1 and "Pagano" proudly displayed on the back cheering at full throat every time there was a clapping session and coming out of his seat with each and every challenge flag thrown! I suspect bodily fluid tissue moments would ensue each time there was a mysteriously ill timed time out called and his custom camera focused on Chuck calling the ref's over to discuss if it was a shooting foul or if it was called on the floor...

Meh......not so much, they contributed but not anywhere near as much as the lack of 2nd half adjustments/coaching that this team continues to be plagued by. Perfect example is that no Colts fan was comfortable after taking 17 - 3 lead against Steelers. Almost as if we all knew there wasn't going to be another score by the Colts with 27 minutes left in the game. I think it was something like 19 plays and about 35 yards after the Rogers score. Seriously....how does that happen? Coaching is the answer plain and simple.

Add to that: the Steelers were still asleep coming in off the by week, and they haven't been great on the road. Anyone thinking the Colts would have faired better than TEN did in Thursday night's demolition should be taken with a grain of salt.

19 plays, 35 yards, and that's on coaching to you?

If we have to explain it to you,then you are not too bright.

Nope!

Blame it on the rain.

Milli Vanilli

The common sense door shut a long time ago with this one.

Pagano told reporters today that his favorite Thanksgiving dish is spaghetti and meatballs. What kind of sick twisted human being gives that answer?

An Italian ??? :cool:

An Italian that cant coach.
