In Dire Need of QBs, Team Adds Josh Freeman, Ryan Lindley

According to ESPN, the Indianapolis Colts plan to move on from head coach Chuck Pagano following the 2015 season.

Despite all of this adversity, however, the Colts (7-8) are still mathematically alive in the race for the playoffs, although the odds are severely stacked against them at this juncture. “At least that’s the picture multiple sources with knowledge of the situation paint when describing what Pagano has dealt with while attempting to work with a man sources describe as a ‘terrible meddler, ‘ general manager Ryan Grigson”.

After Luck, who missed time during Hasselbeck’s first starting stint with shoulder fatigue, suffered his kidney injury against the Denver Broncos late in Week 9, the Colts again turned to Hasselbeck after their Week 10 bye.

Chuck Pagano was asked Wednesday if he wants to remain as the Colts’ head coach. After the game, Pagano took responsibility for the play call and said that the Colts were not supposed to snap the ball.

The Colts (7-8) are mathematically still alive in the hunt for the playoffs, but thanks to a season plagued with injuries and inconsistent play, the Colts no longer control their own destiny. If they win and get the right help-they need a lot of it-they could make the postseason.

Also, the Colts fanbase fractured into camps siding with the coach or general manager.

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said Thursday “no decision” has been made regarding “structural changes” in the Colts’ organization, rebuffing rumors Irsay has chose to fire coach Chuck Pagano. They are allowing 237 yards per game on average to opposing quarterbacks over their last three games.

The Colts had former Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman in for a workout, and Pagano acknowledged Freeman could start if the team opts to sign him. “Coaches did a great job of getting the short yardage, goal line, red zone plan together”. Luckily, the Colts already have a well-established quarterback in Andrew Luck, so nothing too major will need to be fixed offensively. “That isn’t going to happen, but I’m going to be fine if I have to go down that road”. Indy has been even worse: The Colts are No. 30, averaging 3.6 yards, and haven’t had a 100-yard rusher since December 16, 2012. I play the lottery, I think I’m going to win the Powerball. If not for bungling the second half of the second Houston game (which could be blamed on Pagano or offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski for questionable play calling), they’d be staring at a playoff berth.
