i don't understand "fans" leaving early.. you don't know how privileged you are to be able to attend a game.. or you just don't care about the team or the game as much..

 

i haven't missed or turned off a game ever (granted, since 2006 may not be that long), but you have to consider the 2011 season - watched every colts game from the beginning till the end..

 

how do you give up on your team during playoffs then, when you've witnessed so many comebacks in past 2 seasons alone?!

Being in FL, I only had TV.  I rarely see the Colts because of the Bucs and Dolphins (NFL Rules), so I don't even turn off regular season games that are on no matter the score. This goes double for playoff games.

 

Unlike 2006/2007 AFCCG, I didn't curse, scream, or kick ottomans.  I just sat there in wide eyed disbelief.  OTOH, I know how bi-polar this team seems at times, and how they are often a MUCH better 2nd half team than first half. I never even reached for the remote. My desire was to see just how much resolve our team had, not so much test mine.  I think I accomplished both, though.

Ignoring the 'leaving the wife' comment aside, as this was obviously a joke, the rest of your points are pretty foolish. Sport is an entertainment vehicle for those who don't make a livoing from it. Staying to the bitter end if you are not being entertained, no matter the sport or team, is an option, but it does not define you as a better human being. Or more loyal or manly.

I am at a loss here, you say this to me but you agree with the following comment?

 

someone that leaves early is less of a man, a worse human, and most definitely less loyal

Couldn't agree more.

 

This is not about entertainment is about team loyalty, Leaving early shows disrespect to the team that so many say they bleed blue. The true test of loyalty is to stay until the end, always rooting OUR team on.

 

I don't mind the banter but calling someone "foolish" is not cool!

I deal with Dude my way, don't worry about it. For the record, I did not call you foolish. Your point was though, and still is. I can assure you I am every bit a fan as you may be, and if I wanted to leave a game early for whatever the reason, it does not demote my fandom down to a 'crush'. I suggest you get less touchy about small things like this.

I don't understand why you would pay all that money and leave early. Those that have an nfl team in driving distance from their town are so lucky. I had to fly to zona to watch the Colts get destroyed. I stayed till the end and I had great time, even though some zona fans were very rude and tried to threaten my physical well being. I put them in their place and kept cheering, one the best times I've had all year.

      Oh no doubt about that. I absolutely value the fact that people like Brugler, Cosell, Jeremiah, etc. actually do the work and take their job seriously. And I also agree that others do very surface level stuff(more akin to what most of us here are doing here as a hoby. Except... they get paid for it).    My angle is not exactly "everyone is the same", they are not. That's why I value extremely highly the work some do and not so much others. And I agree that just because a player doesn't hit, it doesn't mean the evaluation was faulty... or just because a player hits unexpectedly, I don't think the evaluation was necessarily faulty either. It's important to see the reasoning behind the projections and it is important to recognize the uncertainty in any projection really. IMO the uncertainty covers for a lot of shoddy "work" and rankings because a lot of talking heads can just parrot hits and omit misses. So they are not all the same, but their results might be very close to each other. Just like in the NFL - the difference between good and bad GMs in hit rate is in single digit number over the long term. You won't get one GM that hits 80% and another that hits 20%(Although... Grigson probably was close to that one).   Part of it is because the ones that don't do the work, actually copy and plagiarize the work that the great ones do... example, they will take the Jeremiah and Brugler's big boards and will mash them together and just switch a few names around, or if they have a favorite they will bump him up while dropping a specific one they don't like, but in the grand scheme of things the results wouldn't be dramatically different. So the value for me is from the actual verifiable work those people do and the way they present information. WIth people like Brugler or Cosell you can actually tell that it's them that are doing the work. They give you detailed reports on why they think what they think about those prospects. And they are almost never extreme in their opinions - i.e. "this player is trash, he would never succeed in the league". You know they actually sit down and watch those guys play and actually do scouting reports from what they see on tape, rather than from what they've heard someone else say about those players. And with Brugler, even furthermore, you see a ton of background information about those players. He's pretty much doing what scouts for the teams are doing. He's digging about the childhood and adolescence of those players, he's digging up red flags, medical information(whatever is available), etc. And he's just one person. And he's doing it for 400+ players every year. You can only respect that. And I derive a ton of more value out of it than I do out of a random pundit's QB ranking for which I probably have watched more tape than he has.

      Agreed   By mid year, this offense might be special,    I wonder if our defense can at least get to 15, in points allowed   Having an offense that grinds it our, will help the defense stay fresh

      Bortolini was very good at the Senior Bowl. Technically sound and quick. I would not be surprised at all if either him or Concalves starts right guard this year, and I like Fries, I'm one of the few on here who doesn't think he sucks. We may be so good running the ball this year Richardson won't have to throw much(20-25 times a game?) This offense is going to be fun to watch and we should win a lot of games as long as we aren't playing cb's 10 yards off the line and dropping linebackers 12 yards deep on 3rd and 3. Go Colts!
