    I value people's opinion more who are now in the situation where they have to go to 8 home games, cheer like everything's okay, and have their expectations ruined in the blink of an eye

    Ah, I remember when we won nothing. We had fun and always ended games with the resolution "NEXT TIME!"

     

    And our time came.

     

    I went to a preseason game this year, luckily not last week.  I had fun.  Just being in the stadium is fun.  I was focused on trying to learn the players.

     

    Winning is the best, it really is. I miss Peyton and Marvin and others.  But there's more to football than that.  Right now I've got meal prep underway for what i'm sure will be an underwhelming game.

     

    No matter.  Football is family time

    The problem with that is that Brissett does not look like a civil war soldier.  That was the fun of Capt. Andrew Luck.  Luck sort of looked like a civil war soldier.  

    That was awesome but it really was the letters that he wrote and the stuff he made up based on real events that was so creative.

     

    I mean, squirrel oil? :lol:

    Not for me.  Andrew Luck fit really well in with that old-timey, squirrel-oil using, neck-bearding tomfoolery.

     

    Brissett doesn't fit that mould for me.  Can't think of any NFL QB who would, aside from maybe Fitmagic?

     

    Let sleeping dogs lie and leave the Captaincy vacant.

    Well, I like it because it is fun.

    Oh, the times we had out on our campaigns through the years. I feel as though I was just a youth who hardly had two neckbeard whiskers to rub together when I first unholstered my sidearm.

    :lol:

    I'm really going to miss that account.

     

    That was a very sweet letter.  Made me tear up

    At least Andrew didnt say "go patriots" afterwards.

     

    Love gallows humor.  Thanks for that.

     

    You know, we couldn't believe our luck when we got Andrew after Peyton.  But now our luck has literally run out.  It's over but we still move forward.

     

    We've got great leadership and some great players.  It could be much worse than it is.

     

    Once we've processed that, we'll be fine.  Other teams haven't had the good fortune we've had.

    media ripping ALL Colts fans as if we all did it.

    Yeah the vultures are circling.  I did heard a guy yesterday ripping the media for roasting the fans.

    It doesn't matter, we know it wasn't all fans.  We know many that were livid at first have moved on.

    It's like an unexpected breakup.  Thinking you are together for life and then suddenly being told on national TV 'It's not you, it's me' Like being left at the alter

    And then everyone judging you for your less than stellar reaction to being dumped.

     

    It's very reality TV.

     

    Can't stop them from talking.  They'll do it as long as it gets a reaction

    I was very disappointed at the fans in indy for booing luck. He sacrificed alot to the colts and the thanks he got was boos. I'm a HUGE colts fan and it made me sick.

    I didn't react to them at all at the time.  I think I sat there with my mouth open staring at my phone and asking people 'is this real?'

     

    I heard there were SOME fans booing and while it wouldn't have been my choice, I'm not judging them.  It was the heat of the moment.

     

    Plenty of people around here reacted very poorly but it calmed down.  

     

    It's still confusing but life goes on

    those that did had the right and were justified.

    I think justified is the wrong word.  I don't think there is every a valid reason for venting anger in a way that's intended to hurt someone.

     

    I think the booing was understandable and predictable though.

    I wouldn’t have booed him

    my daughter was at the game and we texting me when this came out.  She's a huge fan and very level headed but, she came unhinged for a while.  Didn't boo but she was angry and sympathized with the fans that we leaving their luck jerseys and exiting the stadium.

     

    In the end though, the last thing she said to me was "Imagine quitting your job like this on a national stage.....unreal"

     

    It was

  10. It was a shock so, anger is not surprising.

    I always try to remember that anger is a secondary emotion.  It is a response to something else you are feeling.  In this case I think shock and disappointment.

    The timing of it maximized all that. I mean before the season starts and during a game and via a tweet?  I'd love to know how that leaked out.

    So, I don't blame fans for the heat of the moment.

    People are on here acting like he isn't a human being because he gets paid millions of dollars.

     

    The post game interview, he stated that over the past 4 years hes been dealing with pain during the season and throughout the offseason and continuously rehabbing.

     

    I'm sure these same people can hardly get through a whole day with a headache, let alone 4 years of continual pain and rehabbing.

     

    You act like you know this mans life and how he feels and everything should be okay because of money? Nah that ain't it. I'd bet that 99% of people that are in pain all the time would trade all the money in the world to be pain free.

    i keep thinking of someone i know that's been dealing with pain for years.  Been to so  many doctors tried so many therapies and it's just getting worse and worse. It's beaten her down mentally as well.  

     

    Andrew took a beating here.  He says he has pain and had to take time to deal with it and let the team move forward. I believe him.  

     

    None of us wanted this but, that's life.
