    Sitting On The Edge

    I agree. There were some amazing games, plays, and memories. I'm glad I got to witness it. The 09 season, where we had like 9 come from behind wins was the most fun to watch. I think the best thing about it was that in the midst of all of our success, our players carried themselves with dignity and respect for the game, the team, and the fans.

    Not Having Peyton Was Not The Reason We Went 2-14

    You can break your arm reaching like that. Be careful!

    People can lay out all the reasons they want to, the cold hard facts say that our team, our coaches, our schemes haven't been up to par over the years despite all the wins. It's been ten years since we had a losing season and the only difference I saw last year was no Manning.

    Was his abscence the only reason we lost? Nope. If was the catalyst for an implosion. We really shouldn't pursue a singular line of thought to find answers for last year.

    The reasons are many;

    No Peyton

    No competent back-up QB

    Inept coaching

    Antiquated defensive schemes

    Injury

    Poor decision making from the FO

    You're wrong. It was both and then some. Lets not forget that Peyton got these same "bums" to the SB just 2 years ago. Coyer and his flawed cover-2. Caldwell and his perceived pop-warner skills. Peyton took a fairly inept team to the SB. This is why, year after year, the pundits would start out by saying this is the year that the Colts fall, and yet we would come out with another 13/14 win season. Finally they were right, and by no coincidence, it was also our first year without Manning since the days of Harbaugh.

    You, sir, have hit the nail on the head. Please, submit a resume' to either NFLN or ESPN! I couldn't agree more. The Colt's weren't built around Peyton, rather Peyton built the Colts.

    I personally think our biggest problem this season was our line. I think I like Ben Ijilana at RG, maybe a new RT a LG and C (to back up Jeff if he returns). With rebuilding being the mantra, we can build the line around Castonzo and younger players

    Can We Really Let Go Of Reggie?

    I am rather indifferent to this situation. There is no rule that says a rookie qb needs an old vet wr. Look at what Andy Dalton and A.J. Green did this year. Reggie is a great player, but if he wanted to come back he wouldn't have said, "I'm not going to make it easy for them." With the way he has been talking to the media, I feel like if next season were rocky, he would become a cancer. If we go the route of Luck, is Reggie going to go to the media when he isn't getting balls? Reggie just concerns me with the amount of money he wants and his whole attitude. And Irsay calls Peyton a politician?

    Not to be disrespectful, but that's like asking do you want the flu. No. I'll stick with younger players with better attitudes regardless of who is playing qb. It's going to cut the playing time of younger players that we may get in the draft or ufa's. He was really the predecessor for the receivers we have today, but why waste the money and a roster spot for an old vet that hasn't been in the league in a year who also wasn't a starter in TN. They don't have what you would call a great receiving corps. And if he ain't starting there, he is pointless here.

    I am not the type that would say I told you so. I would be ecstatic if Peyton returned. If not, I will remember the good times. If the Colts and Peyton part ways and they play against each other, I would hope for a shoot out with the Colts edging Peyton's team. It's hard to believe that we are at such a crossroads just two years removed from a Super Bowl appearance.

    be ready for disappointment.

    Why would I be ready for disappointment? The Colts have to do what is best for them. The Colts have not come out and said Peyton is gone. Likely? Yea, I'd say so. Definite? Not until Peyton Manning is no longer listed on the Colts roster. This topic was intended to spread a little hope. I think when a team is facing an enormous turnover like we have begun, hope for fans is necessary. I find it discouraging that so many fans want to throw Peyton Manning away and forget what he has meant to this team.
