Friendly Reminder from TigerTown: Take minute and think

[PrincetonTiger]

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

[RockThatBlue]

Alright I thought about it.

 

Pagano needs to go tomorrow.

[BlueShoe]

I think most everyone is smart enough to understand that this season is over. 

 

We are looking at next season, and the many changes that will certainly come with #COLTS2018!

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

Do you think it makes sense to do that right now? Who would want to come here?

We're a hot mess

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.

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

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 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.

Sad but true. We are a bad football team. Both of our wins are against winless teams, and we could've easily lost those games and be 0-7.

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. 

[PrincetonTiger]

We must remember to find our happy spot and/or move on

Why give our self ulcers if we can do nothing about it 

[Freenyfan102]

This coach is a freaking *

[TheMarine]

Thoughts going in are the same thoughts going out. 

 

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

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.

That is my whole purpose

  I am very angry but will not attack anyone that got a lot farther than I did

 

[Luck is Good]

Absolutely pathetic. Pagano should’ve been fired after the 2015 season. He wasn’t and look what the Colts have done since. Look what you’ve done Irsay. So bad that I’ve got no words. And if I did, I’d be banned

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.
