Colts' Pagano not hiding frustration with Luck, O-line, GM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Chuck Pagano's frustration was apparent after the Colts' 20-7 loss Monday to the New York Jets, a result that dropped his team to 0-2 with just 21 points scored in two weeks.

Quarterback Andrew Luck struggled in the face of a tenacious pass rush and threw three interceptions.

Asked about Luck's struggles behind a leaky Colts offensive line, Pagano had this to say: "Been the case for 3 years now, has it not? Should be more than comfortable dealing with (it)."

It's hard to say whether that's a shot at Luck, the offensive line, or the general manager, Ryan Grigson, responsible for assembling the line.

It might be all three.

There are rumors of dissension within the Colts' ranks, particularly between Pagano and Grigson.

Owner Jim Irsay is said to be unhappy with the direction the team is headed and eyeing a chance to upgrade. NFL Network's Albert Breer reported last week that Irsay could go "big-game hunting" for a new front office and head coach at season's end.
