I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Regarding acceptance. There's not a lot of lattitude here, there is no accept or not accept. It is what it is. What it is is a horrible decision that in my personal is without a doubt the biggest mis-step in franchise history. The colts disrespected the greatest QB in franchise and possibly league history, and in a single season have torn down everything that the franchise was, in the name of what? Rebuilding? Well, sure, you have to rebuild when you throw *everything* you have away.

It's not about acceptance, there's no choice but to accept that Peyton and others are gone. Anger, hurt and dissapointment over the decisions do not obviate accepting that the decisions have been made.

Personally, I would expect that the hurt, anger and feelings of disappointment and betrayal will linger with many for years. Good grief there are still people that have not got past the pulling of the starters against the Jets, how much harder is this to get past than that?

I imagine people will continue to see it as they see it now, however that is. I expect I will

I hope you find peace and eventually understand that Irsay acted in what he thought was the best interests of the Colts.

I am still in denial, I still somehow believe he will resign. I know its fantasy land, but as I said I am still in denial.

oh yeah. peyton will not sign anywhere much to the chagrin of espn analysts. then on opening day, manning will land on the field in a helicopter, and emerge from a cloud of smoke in full colts uniform

The Colts owner is the biggest politician of all times - weeps (crocodile tears) and tries to show off his concern while sticking in a dagger at your heart in the name of business. How many times has this spineless bofoone fooled us into believing that he will bring back PM if he was healthy. Now I hear he does not have a team for Manning to win championship - who is he hoodwinking, who did away with the team. Come on be a man and say you wanted to control the team just like the Jerry Jones and suffer the consequences. If Luck was supposed to be the next PM then why is he not putting his neck out and saying we will bring chamoinship in 3 years. You clean house you be prepared for the consquence, that is why every business has a transition plan - not this bofoon. I will take my money and watch pacers, wait for PM to return to Indy and kick some b___. Go Manning Down with Horse shoe owner.

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      I think teams are going to give up the run and force offence to march down the field on a 10 play drive and score. They are going to take away the big play and make Richardson throw intermediate and short passes. The defense believes that he will throw up a pick and/or the offense will stall.  Although,  I dislike the cover 2 defense, it is perfect against a guy like Richardson. The Colts have not shown that they can put long drives together. It is early and it is up to Richardson to make teams attack more. If they continue to run with success and Richardson makes those easy plays.  Then it is a different ball game and it opens up everything. Quite simple actually, lol.  If Taylor is pounding the rock against 4 man fronts because Richardson has improved his accuracy.  Then the D will have to pick their poison. Do you play up to stop the run, short and intermediate passes? Or do they play back to stop the big play? Richardson's evolution, if it happens, will stress the defense probably like no other qb because of his skill set.

      Do you see any progress with Richardson?

      By Superman · Posted

      I think the way people have been talking about him, it makes it seem like he's incapable of making those throws at all. There's a lot of sensationalism about his throwing right now.

      I think the most surprising thing about this list for me is that Addai isn’t any higher than he is.

      Lol. Sure, I meant he ALWAYS makes those mistakes. I think you’re smart enough to know that I meant he’s made those mistakes enough that it’s kind of alarming to me. If you’re not alarmed, cool.

      If Eberflus was fired by Chicago would you want him back

      By John Waylon · Posted

      They do need an offensive mind, though. I said from the moment he was hired there that it was a move that was dead on arrival. Pairing a QB like Fields (and now Willams,) with a guy like Flus wasn’t productive for either side. Both of those QBs would benefit far more from having an offensive guy at the helm than a defensive one. A defensive coach needs to have a strong offensive staff in place to help those young QBs and Flus did not.    Fields is the perfect case in point: he landed in Pittsburgh with a defensive minded head coach who had a strong enough offensive support system to benefit him, and his career is starting to turn around for it.    Think of our own history, did the pairing of Andrew Luck with a defensive guy like Pagano do him any favors? Not really, and in the end it’s probably a big part of the reason that story turned out the way it did.
