No. You don't get your tickets today. You usually get your tickets later. Today I got in the mail if I was able to relocate. I wasn't able too.
I thought that was very early for tickets... Living a little further away, my mail is normally a day later; therefore, Monday should be my day. Thanks for the info.

Got mine in the mail today... Didn't get to relocate. Man. I thought this would be the year, if it's not this year looks like it'll never happen.
Did you get your tickets in the mail today? Like others, I am curious about my movement in the stadium and ready to see if my request was achieved.
Go Colts!

How soon we forget that last year all of these superior talented players were on a team that was a laughing stock in the league. Everyone was ready to cut every player, coach, general manager, general manager's son etc. Now that this is exactly what is happening, some Colts fans are upset because they wanted those other players cut, not the ones they like. This is like congress when everyone gets mad a the organization, but keeps electing their own individual member because he/she is not the problem. Without Peyton, it was proven that this team could not win. Next year we will not have Peyton and if we expect a different result with the exact same time, we are the definition of insanity.
Looking forward to an interesting season... Go Colts!!

I bought his jersey after the first pre-season game (hard to believe they didn't have any ready???) and have worn it to LOS every Sunday since. He is a tackling machine and funny in the post game interviews.

I agree with Schwamm as I also renewed early hoping for the Super Bowl tickets. I believe that might skew the numbers as I normally pay on the last day as I am sure others also did. There might not be the big rush at the end for tickets and the waiting list might shrink. Regardless, I will be at LOS loud and proud.

Let us have a little faith in the Colts front office. It was realized the Polians had done all they could here and were released. It was (finally) realized that Caldwell could not coach (and yes I realize he was a nice guy, but so is my uncle and he can't coach either) and was released of his duties. The front office is doing everything to get the Colts winning again and I believe in the front office that they will get a coach who will have the ability to lead us to wins. Go Colts!!

I keep reading where some people state that Caldwell is staying. I would honestly like to see specifics that the Colts have changed since Tony Dungy left that would prove he is a great coach. Instead of arguing over nothing, let us try to figure this out like an administrator. What has Caldwell done to justify keeping him?
-
I think he should announce he will be fired unless he wins four games this season. That would be a cool tweet.
-
I thought that for much of the season the big rip on Caldwell was that he didn't alter the game plan enough to hide the lousy QBs. Today the QB barely passed the ball and the Colts won - yet now Caldwell is "too conservative". You can't have it both ways.
It was a good game plan, well executed, the D made big plays (which by the way, is exactly what Polian said was missing and what they were looking to get back to when they fired the DC) and they came away with the win. What exactly would you like the man to do? (besides disappear so that the celebrity coach de jour can be hired in his place).
I would have liked for him to have done this weeks ago. A real coach would have done this before the final three weeks of the season. Most teams have legitimate game plans each week and not just one that can be pointed to trying to keep a job. Caldwell is atrocious and needs to be gone. One week does not an NFL coach make...
-
I wish I could feel good about this but what if this means Caldwell keeps his job and we lose the #1 draft pick. Is that really worth one win this season? I'm looking at next season and beyond at this point. I understand you guys being excited but this is all about the future at this point.
There is no way this one win should save his job. While driving home from Indy, my wife and I were discussing the great play of Pat Angerer and Donald Brown while listening to the post game show. Bill Polian, whom until today I thought was intelligent, spent his post game conference explaining how this win proved that the players believe in Caldwell. When I took Logic 101 in college, I am pretty sure his statement would not be accurate. Win feels good, but Polian ruined my drive home by politicking to save a terrible coach.

It is kinda sad that the guys on this board talking and (at least me) way past football prime, have won as many games as the Colts this season.
-
Why do we think people in the media are not talking about Caldwell being fired? NBC pro football, The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, and local media like the Indy Star all have articles about Caldwell being gone at the end of the season or at least "should be worried." I just did a Google search and those sites popped up. It is understood that he is gone, and this board is the only place that seems to think he might stay.
Go Colts!

The only thing worse than going without a victory is changing nothing and realizing that the same thing was going to happen again. Next year, Painter/Orlovsky will not be the starting qb; Caldwell will not be the coach; draft picks will come; Peyton is going to be healthy... good things are coming. If those things are not happening, then I am calling 0-17 to start next season.
-
I would argue for Angerer to be the MVP of the Colts this season and hope he is playing.
-
Instead of winning this year, I believe he has proven that he should be given it retroactively for many, many years.
-
For those who keep stating how Jim Caldwell is a good coach. Let us assume he unfairly is fired at the end of the season. Which team is going to grab him? I have heard over and over from the media (Bob Kravitz's favorite topic) that Caldwell is on the hot seat, so which teams are talking about hiring him as the savior to the team? Just curious.
-
Exactly what happens if we go 0-16? Do we lose draft picks? Are we removed from the NFL or qualifying for the playoffs next year? Exactly what happens if we go 0-16?
All kinds of things happen:
*Jim Caldwell makes the record book as being the only head coach in the history of the franchise to lose every game.
*Fewer fans in the seats of LOS.
*Topic of conversation during NFL today bashing the Colts
*Fewer stations carrying Colts games
*Personnel changes (there will be some)
*No late nights driving home after being on in "prime time" on Sundays next season
etc.

I think at seasons end, if not then, 2012 for sure.
It ends after next season.

When I saw this thread I thought of the line from the movie Major League, "At least he didn't spike himself." I hope Bob Lamey does not have to resort to Harry Doyle for material as this season wanes...
-
Caldwell will be fired. This team had the personnel to win last week (today's performance proved this) and imagine if Orlovsky had been playing against Carolina. I would have stopped for drinks to celebrate instead of drowning another loss. I bet my season tickets he is gone next year.
-
Two touchdowns, one interception against the Pats. Not a bad start; if only it had happened earlier...
-
Patriots - 24
Colts - 7 Angerer runs a fumble in for the lone score.
Orlovsky will lead the Colts to some first downs which will stop the scoring as the defense will not play 85% of the game.

This reminds me so much of Mike Davis at IU. He took over for Bob Knight and used his system with his players and made it to the Final Four. Then those players were gone and IU took a nose dive and Davis was fired.
Caldwell took Dungy's team with Dungy's system and took them to the Super Bowl. This year Caldwell is forced to coach and we see what he does. His coaching ability has equated zero wins with many fans dressed as plastic seats around me today. Caldwell will be fired, but it depends on how much Irsay is willing to lose before it happens.
-
We'd be 0-11 with Vince Lombardi....we all know that.
We don't all know that. How do other coaches lose players to injuries (all teams have them) and still win? They adjust, make moves, and switch personnel. Caldwell does not. Lombardi, Marchibroda, Ditka, my Aunt Ruth all would have changed some things by now and probably would have won at least one game.
Liars or inept?

As a proud season ticket holder, I have moved from the back row in the corner to the Loge level at the edge of the $1260 seats. I have two season tickets. My request was to move closer to the middle. That was all I asked and I am sent a letter saying that "due to limited availability of certain seating areas, we were unable to fulfill as many requests as in prior years." Since season tickets are still available for purchase and I read were someone actually bought seats better than mine as a new season ticket holder, when the comments race about "true fans" and people not buying tickets next year, this is why I am not renewing. Either the ticket office lies or they are inept and I don't want to send $2520 to someone matching that criteria.
If I hadn't already paid, I would cancel and try to get season tickets as a new subscriber, maybe then my seats could improve. This is sad.
