To your last sentence. That isn't irony. Buy a dictionary. Second, I've never bullied anyone in my life. The word is way overused. Third, you've never been to a home game. You have zero idea about home crowd fans. Fourth, just stop. It's embarrassing -

Yep, Ballard and Irsay have sold the "illusion of hope". That's what happens when you draft a QB 4th overall. People will become positive and pay their hard-earned money to see if we can win again. Of course, Manning and Luck set a precedent for that as well. These fans are positive because of them more than anything Ballard has done as GM. These fans are mostly casuals as well and don't pay attention to the team like this forum does. Them going doesn't make the team any more or less likely to win. All it means is they are loyal at best, and naive at worst thinking things will randomly be different. All Irsay and Ballard have to do is change things every year and sell a false bill of goods to convince fans to keep coming. It's also hard to quit on a sports team and lots of fans are diehards. Finally, not all the fans who go to the games are optimists. Some know what is going on with the team and they go anyway because they live in Indiana, or they are rich, or they are taking their kids. Lots of reasons. It's not even the fact that you're "bullying" that bothers me. It's the fact that your bullying is disguised as being a positive fan that defends the team that's irritating. If it were a negative fan doing what you do, they'd get in trouble on here for it. You have an agenda, you like to start arguments with people because of that disguised bullying, and you know you'll get away with it because it makes you look like you're defending the team from negativity. Also ironically, I wrote 5 paragraphs in my previous post, and you deflected away from most of it. -
The NFL announced the date and time for every preseason game for the upcoming season. And the Indianapolis Colts picked up a primetime game. The Colts will travel to take on the Cincinnati Bengals at 8 pm EST on Amazon Prime. -
I'm not sure if you heard, season tickets are sold out for this season. There are far more positive fans than those calling draft picks spoiled brats over normal contract language. My credibility here isn't something I spend anytime thinking about. If calling people out on their nonsense is "bullying" in your opinion, maybe the internet isn't for you.

Irsay doesn't care about your opinion either. White knighting for the Colts and bullying posters who are negative because they are frustrated with the team since 2014 isn't a good look for you. People don't cry because the team doesn't do what they think they should do, they cry because coaches and GMs that are professionals in their field are either unqualified to do their job (Grigson), or refuse to learn from their mistakes (Pagano, Reich, and Ballard until recently). This forum just wants to win at this point. Ballard has never won the division. We want to win in the playoffs. Ballard has won 1 playoff game. We want to win games. Ballard is 54-60-1. You know all this, and you deflect it all the time. All you can say is Ballard knows more than people on the forum, as if that makes him a top GM in the NFL. I don't care if Ballard does things the way I think as long as we are winning. The problem is the way Ballard is doing things, we are not winning. So it adds more ammo that his way isn't working. You compare that to a team like the 49ers, where John Lynch took over the same year as Ballard, and they are winning, and that's not even the fans thinking they know more, that's an actual GM knowing more as an example. The last point I'm going to make is injuries. We have gotten very unlucky with injuries. That's part of the reason (myself included) a lot of people are negative on this forum. Injuries to top players all over the place have hurt this team. You can pretend like this is a new year and it shouldn't matter and that's in the past, but we're affected by what's happened in prior years, and injuries happen every year. We're already getting injury scares this year with Pittman and Richardson and Daniel Scott is done again. The bottom line is this forum is going to be negative to an extent until we win. You can pretend everything is great and take out your frustrations on people who don't think the way you do, but you've been wrong since 2015 thinking the way you do, and Ballard's whole tenure. You have no credibility with your position right now. Your only defense is that you think "some of you would rather be right and see the team fail." We want to win, We just aren't buying it until we see it now. Maybe AR gets the job done, but until he does, it's just more hope.
