I agree on that :/ But there still is a chance the Empire will just change and turn into something else and not be destroyed.
What the hell happend to Duiker the historian?

I dislike the way SE keeps using terms like "Late Empire" in his chapter prologues. Especially the one about Grub, it basically gives us a timeline when the Empire will end. Makes all the events in MBotF have a tinge of futility in them... 
but aren't all empires ultimately futile?

why should it be solely about Empire?
"The Fallen" could relate to the Crippled God as easily as it could about people (who died).

Well if one were to know the history behind Erikson choosing the name, I think most of you would come to appreciate it much more.
I still dont understand what problem you folks have with him giving away events in the chapter excerpts. They're not there just for fun, as is the case with many novels that try and follow Herbert's style. Every passage is there for a reason and they all serve them well. Finding out things about Grub is just one of those things, it just makes things more interesting. And like hetan said relax and enjoy the story.
