    If the Russians nuke Houston and Tenn we are good to go. Sometimes I think Pagano has every member of his family posting here. This team is done and will be done again next year with Chuckles coaching.

    Yeah I get hope, but a .01% chance isn't really 'a chance'.

    Yep linD is right, no one to blame but our awful embarrassing inconsistent selves. Bad part is, this win for us today may just be the win that secures Pagano and Grigson for another year. I'm just ready for the offseason to be here.

    Totally lost season honestly. I don't care what others say Pagano is terrible.

     

    We shouldn't be 'competing' for our division with Bortles, Oz and Marriota when we have Luck. I'm sorry...

  3. Gore probably helps that TFL stat. He is an all time great and knows how to always squeeze out at least a couple yards positive gain so I think he helps the line more then it helps him so to say.

     

    To me they're an enigma. We still can't get a RB to 100 to save our lives and some games they're just bad.

     

     

  4. It ain't the end of the world man. Just watch like we'll all be doing and like Malakia said have 'lowered or no expectations'. They ain't winning Jack this year.

     

    They suck and at least we know it. No surprises or being let down at this point.

     

    From the Jax loss to the first Hou loss, this team had huge cracks in it that almost any fan knew would lead to what we have now. A lost season.

    This is a soft market for football compared to much larger cities. Plus we're in close proximity to other teams. When Manning was here the games were always sold out and I believe there were ticket brokers who owned a lot of season tickets.  The season ticket wait list was around 10000. It only took one bad season for many season ticket holders to bail and the wait list was wiped out. 

    I hear you and that makes sense since you've got local competition. 

     

    All the more reason he can't just let this slide. Fans will speak by not coming to games.

    I agree with his general sentiment, but a couple of issues with the article.

    1) The very first sentence:

    Actually, yes, it did.  There were many people who thought it was a mistake to keep both.

     

    2) Later on, he says:

    In my opinion, that's downright ignorant.  People in Indy love the Colts.  Even if Pagano and Grigson are still around next year and the team has another 8-8 (or worse) season, the fans won't turn away from the team.  The Colts are very strongly ingrained into the community and it's foolish to suggest the fans will turn their backs on the team.  They'll be more angry and frustrated, but they won't forget about the the team completely.

    Just in terms of the soft market part of the post...

     

    I don't think he's knocking our fan base honestly. I think he's saying Indy fans won't pay for mediocrity LONG TERM. They'll find something better to spend there time and money on, which I feel is totally fine. I'm sure he said it knowing he'd get clicks for his article as well.

     

    I remember in 06' flying in literally last minute to attend the KC wildcard game (tix were available still through tixmaster). To me that was our way of saying show me you're a good team or we won't come. Sure enough 2 weeks later I flew back in for the AFCCG and there wasn't much in terms of tickets available.

     

    But I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing if attendance were to ever slide if this playoff drought got into 3,4 or 5 years because it'll force Jim to make changes.

     

    We aren't the only fan base that applies to so I honestly don't think it was a jab. Nothing wrong if fans don't want to show up to watch bad football when they can hang with there friends or family on Sunday and just put the tv on.

     

    If you want high attendance, you better win. Indy fans are within their rights to not show up if this bad play continues.

     

    I don't think LOS will look like a museum, but I could surely see attendance slip.
