We really are a lucky fan base.

So 1 more than any of the worst run franchises and expansion teams. Not sure why you're trying to say that 1 title in almost half a decade is good, especially when you consider they've had one of the best QBs ever or one of the best prospects ever over the last 2 decades. 

Any one of those teams have room on their bandwagon if you are sooooo upset and disappointed in the Colts...  Bye

I feel like I should chime in just because this is how I came up with my account name.  Having Manning and then Luck back-to-back... and also being Irish.  That is pretty lucky. :clover::thmup:

 

wig - you have to admit that without Manning and Luck, we would have been in the conversation with the Browns for the past 20 years, so we really are a lucky fan base.  Even if we didn't get multiple SBs.

not sure why/how people don't understand how hard it is to win games, let alone championships, at any amateur/professional sport....

This is just a personality difference. Personally, I don't look at my life and think I shouldn't want more because other people have it worse. People with your line of thinking more often than not end up with very pedestrian results, which for me personally, isn't acceptable. 

 

This counts as a personality flaw then. There are doctors that can help you be less of a miserable person.

 

Also it's clear you have never competed in anything at a high level in your life. You should quit watching sports as you don't understand them.

Since the 2006 Season, and that is going back a decade:

2006 - 12-4/4-0 (SB Champions)

2007 - 13-3/0-1

2008 - 12-4/0-1

2009 - 14-2/2-1 (AFC Conference Champions)

2010 - 10-6/0-1

2011 - 2-14/missed the Playoffs

2012 - 11-5/0-1

2013 - 11-5/1-1

2014 - 11-5/2-1 (Lost in the Championship Game)

2015 - 8-8/missed the Playoffs

-I just listed our history over the last decade. In the Regular Season we have been 104-56 = 65% winnings. We are 9-7 in the Playoffs = 56.3% winnings with 3 Final 4's, 2 AFC Conference Championships, and a World Championship. Over the last 10 seasons no team has won more games than us except the Patriots and only the Giants have won more SB's with 2. We have made the Playoffs 8 times in 10 seasons = 80% of the time! Yes we are very lucky. I went back a full decade and only the Giants have won more SB's in that time frame. Even the Patriots have only won 1 SB over the last 10 seasons showing how tough it is to win a SB, same for the Steelers - only 1 SB win. Hell we have been successful with 2 different franchise QB's as well in that time frame.

Depends on how you look at it. The team has competed at a high level the last 15 but only has one championship in over 45 years.

    • Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters. 
    • Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out. 
    • What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.  
    • I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.
