On the bright side...

[Lucky Colts Fan]

No season ending injuries yet.

 

The Super Bowl hype should die down some now, and the bandwagoners can jump ship.

 

We won't have to deal with the pressure and media hype of going 19-0.

 

Luck had a bad game, so the MVP talk should die down some.

 

Vinatieri missed a FG, so there won't be a streak of made FGs to mess up later.

 

Maybe losing this game leads to lower expectations, therefore less pressure to win, and the Colts can relax and just play ball.

 

Hopefully, the coaches can somehow use this game to motivate the team for a Super Bowl run.

 

Two sides to every coin, we'll see what happens this season...

Hopefully we understand that when we need to hang on to the ball on punts we have Griff back there

 I don't think many take us seriously with the stigma of always having a bad defense.

On the bright side: 9-7 might win the division and get us a home playoff game.

It is one game repeat, one game!!!!! Maybe some of you need reminding of these two words....................Curtis Painter.

I don't know why people think this is a good thing.  If we are that weak then we will be an easy out in the playoffs. Big whoop.

We're not going 9-7.. people thought the same thing the last two seasons after the first game.

Didn't quite understand that. The point is, because of this division, we have a much greater margin for error. We can have our share of games like today, and at 9 -7 or 10 - 6, still be in a better position with a home playoff game than some 12 - 4 wild card team.

You know, the difference between 9-7 and 11-5 might be about 3-4 plays.
