Would You Have Been Laughing And Joking Last Night After The Game If You Were A Player On The Colts?

I mean I saw a pic of one of our team leaders on the web today in what appears to be him laughing and talking with Saints QB Drew Brees after the game last night. Now I am not saying you shouldn't be polite, but if the players are that steamed about last nights game then why should I be?

Saturday and Brees were together negotiating on the players' union side a lot of the offseason during the lockout. So, it is natural that they know each other a little more than your usual player-to-player, congratulate each other and exchange more than just a handshake. Brees and Peyton have the same agent, Tom Condon, not sure if Saturday has his services too.

The other players, not sure about the reasons

The picture of the laughing was a snap-shot, if you watch the actual video Saturday laughed for just a second w/ Brees. To me its more like someone with a small laugh at a funeral. What was important was their faces/emotions during the game especially the sideline shots. Those emotions were certainly not laughing.

OK, let me get this straight...

Polian and Caldwell deserve a complete pass for this abysmal season but the players should be suicidal?

Does that about sum up what you are saying?

No I am just wondering if the players are not suicidal like some fans are here, shouldn't we be taking a que from that and relax a bit also?

"they are upset,they get over it when they get in their sports cars and head home to their mansion's."

True, true.. Saturday is the a rep for the players, so I'm guessing he's got a lot of friends.

As much as I kinda felt like kicking something after that game, I wasn't mad to see Jeff chatting w/ Brees for a few sec.

Ordinarily I wouldn't care about appearances.........esp with just one photo. But that was such a humiliating beat down that......I honestly would not expect a single smile on our side.

Nothing to smile about

You sound like somebody that I work with. I work in the aerospace industry, and right now I am involved in a project that has some major design issues......mostly due to nonsensical managerial practices, but I'm not going to get into that. An airplane takes several years to design. This one was started in late 2008, so we are about three years into this. The design issues are significant enough that they could cause the entire project to be canned (after three years of work by lots of people) if they are not solved swiftly and efficiently. When a project like this gets cancelled this late in the game, people get fired.....because that's a lot of development money spent for zero gain.

Long story short, we recently had a three-day design summit where we got together all the major parties working on this design to come up with ideas on how to solve the design issues. Before the first morning session on Day 2, I was talking with one of the guys from another company working on this project while we were waiting for everybody else to get there to start the session, and we were joking around. The top manager in charge of this design effort walked in, looked at me, and said, "Now I don't think we have anything to be laughing about here." I think I just kind of looked at him like, "Seriously? Are you for real?".....and then I zipped my lip. I didn't say anything about it, but frankly, I was a little insulted by the implication that I wasn't taking this seriously. I've been busting my butt on this project, and just because I'm not doom and gloom 24/7 doesn't mean that I don't understand the severity of the situation. It's not like I was disrupting the session. We hadn't started yet and were still waiting for everyone to show up. If I become so obsessed with this that I can't joke around when we're not working, then I am going to become so emotionally drained that I won't be of any value to anyone. It's one thing to understand the severity of the situation and do everything that you can to turn it around, but you also have to be able to shrug it off or it will eat away at you and wear you down. You have to find a balance.

They are professionals. While the sting of such a loss is real, these guys see everything. It's not about emotion, or the alumni (like college). They aren't just playing for the fun of it anymore, though they do love it; the reality is, it's a job. If they can't laugh such a poor performance off and get back to work, they shouldn't be playing in the NFL.

    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :   
    • Richardson  accuracy  on deep balls is his strength.  Hence why you pair an elite deep threat in worthy.
    • No.   You weren’t.   If you were the least bit sincere, we’d be having these conversations in private.  But you’ve repeatedly ignored my efforts to do that.  Your call.      Then you avoid me until I’m in an uncomfortable conversation with another poster.   You use that awkward moment as an excuse for you to come in with some sincere friendly advice.   The problem is, you’re neither sincere, nor friendly.  And you’ve been doing this for months now.  This is not new.   The pattern is clear and obvious.     And the shame of it all is that even with our different views on Ballard we have enough in common that we should be friendly.  Maybe not friends, but friendly.  You wouldn’t need to address me as “Sir.”    “Good deed going unpunished”.  You flatter yourself.     But your actions speak much louder than your words.   There’s no reason for me to trust you.  And here we are.  A real shame.
