OK, C&O, you need to post an article, or it isn't valid.

That's such bullshit. Luck had to have indicated he wasn't feeling great about football any longer but they told him to go to Europe and come back all happy as if it never happened. They didn't want to think their meal ticket was done. The payout to Luck was so he could be blamed by the front office without any push back from him on the issue.

I guess I didnt understand your post then. The coach usually decides to run or pass.

Apparently, TB has the best run defense in the league.

Ha! I just remember that because I'd never seen it before. It looked like something from the Three Stooges. To be fair to Brisket, his wasn't as bad as Painter's was

I realize that, but the way people have talked about or OL being so good, I’d have thought they would try at least one run!! I also am starting to think that you and the rest of the we need to draft a QB crew are right.

No way this team would've been any better than right there with the Texans as a first or second round playoff exit.

Right...with Luck, this team would've been right there with the Texans which is a 10-ish win team which is exactly what I said.

We suck at QB, kicker, and, like I said, our WR group sucks. T.Y. is a legit #1 when healthy but, as we've learned the last several seasons, he's never healthy. After that, we have a slew of #3s and #4s at WR.

I thought/said all along this was a 6-8 win team after Luck's unexpected retirement. I felt like we were a 10-12 team this year with Luck.

Luck fucked this team plain and simple

You might be right. None of us were there, so we'll never know. I heard that he asked to go to Hawaii for the first three months of the season. Ballard said no, and he quit. Who knows what really happened? Not any of us fans

This is pure speculation, while painting Luck in the most favorable light.

No one knows for sure what happened.

And how in the hell has the front office blamed Luck for anything?
