As we sit here and recover from the terrible loss, Everyone must stop take a minute, breath, and think before we post our thoughts

Nah. There's no silver lining in this one. We got flat out embarrassed by the Jags. Lost several key players to injuries including our first round stud safety. 

 

At least in some of our losses we were competitive. This one, we never even showed up

Not about silver linings it is about not attacking others

There are so many positives in life why are we focusing on a game that “affects” none of us

I'm not unhinged or anything. But I took my daughter and her friend to that game.  Her friend had never been to an NFL game before.  My husband said after the game, 'she still hasn't'

 

Never seen anything like it. Stadium looked to be around  80% empty at the end of the third quarter.

 

Don't get me wrong.  I have plenty of positive in my life.  But, that was just one sorry pitiful effort.

 

I found myself wishing that we still could hear Bill Polian on the radio after the game.  That would have been something.

What really bothers me are the personal attacks on the players/coaches and/or other posters

Thank you!

 

You could have easily held back (especially given your title), but you did not. Your response was real and genuine. I appreciate that. 

 

None of us want the Colts to be a bad team. All of us want to share in the optimism of PrincetonTiger. 

 

PricetonTiger, I wish I could follow you down that rabbit hole buddy. However, I cannot in good consciousness believe this team has any chance of becoming relevant in 2017. And I've been though some bad years, man!

I'm beginning to get tired of the whole National Football League. I couldn't even watch the game today (birthday party) but it's the same thing time in and time out

 

I had a birthday party too. I went to one after the game. 

 

Life goes on brother, and the NFL is getting tougher for me to stay emotionally invested in.

 

Hopefully in 2018, we have this nightmare of an NFL season (2017) completely behind us. We can hope.

I think you might be confusing hate and logic. 

 

You're right about football being a privilege. In my opinion, more fans, players, coaches, and owners should understand that.

 

We cannot ignore the truths; no matter how hard they are to accept.

The colts are who we knew them to be: a Completely faulted team deprived of talent in so many positions. Today, they just happened to be, again under Pagano, horrendously exposed

Unless we can do something about it we need to stop fretting about it

 

 

 We(including the Colts) knew this was a flawed roster and we need to relax and look ahead

Understanding the truth does not give me ulcers. 

 

Denying the truth might though.

 

We are a bad football team. For sanity's sake, it is important to acknowledge and understand it. Holding back the truth from yourself is going to make it hurt a lot more.

Loved the 'she still hasn't' been line. That's exactly how I think.

 

That wasn't entertaining, and that's what you guys paid for.

As much as I want to be able to vigorously argue with you; I cannot. 

 

We are a bad football team. We are poorly coached, and we also lack the talent to be successful in the NFL.

It is scary what the previous regime did in the draft

Yup. 

 

This year for me was about development and Coaching. We're seeing some development, but I feel most of that has been natural talent gaining experience vs coaching ability. Players should naturally improve over a season, especially the young ones which our rooster certainly is. I feel that this is all we're seeing, and regression in most other facets

2007 thru 2011 isn't a who's who of NFL talent either.  The end of the Polian era and the beginning of the Grigson era did not do a lot to stock this team with good players.

Just imagine how bad those years would have been without Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck. 

 

We're two players away from rivaling the Browns as worst team over the past decade.

This is the actual big picture truth, but we're fans. We like the team and want to talk ball. It does affect us, even if it's somewhat superficial.

    • I don't really care where a player is picked, because if he's starting he's likely been deemed to be the best we have. That in itself CAN of course be pretty unfortunate and that's where it starts to be a Ballard problem.   To the OP: Cross, Speed and Franklin have all been questioned because of their questionable coverage abilities - especially Speed and Franklin. What gets brought up in the OP completely misses the point. Speed and Franklin have also been called out because too many of their tackles seem be be made 5+ yards downfield. I don't see anything disproving that here either.
    • Its come to my attention that some members just can't take anybody second-guessing the Colts.   I probably fit in the nonsupport of Ballard group, but I've never targeted the players mentioned because I thought they were decent picks at the spot they were taken.  If you average out the draft spot of those players, I'd say they average to about pick 90...mid to late 3rd round.   My target was the lack of attention in picking impact players with first round picks, identifying them in college.  One All Pro in 8 drafts, plus capital from trade downs.  And that one All Pro is/was a G.  Doesn't seem like our recent pick #4 is headed there either, but its very early.
    • No one really said anything about Rainman. People were screaming for him to start over Pryor after week 2.   Jones had 1 good game with 2 INTs but he’s still a liability in man, and tends to always give up 1-2 big catches a game and a penalty. He’s fine as a number 3 corner.   Lot of people also wanted Cross, just at SS instead of FS which is why he has had success. I’ve always thought he was better than Thomas.   Fries has been a surprise and this is easily the best we’ve seen from Pierce. Ryan and Minshew definitely limited him.
    • Watching this makes me wonder what's going on with his mechanics lately. 
    • I think AR will get better with time (he’s so young and new ) but his short yardage accuracy is atrocious.  It’s so bad that during the last two games AR threw the ball over the receivers head out of bounds and my gf said “ good Job at least he threw it out of bounds to not get intercepted” and I said , “ babe that wasn’t on purpose he literally is that inaccurate” lol.  When you throw it so far over your receivers head that it looks like you threw it out of bounds on purpose, you know there is some stuff for your qb to work on.
