I voted yes. Yes this Luck news was a slap in the face but have been a fan when the team moved here in Indy. We had freakin Mike Pagel then haha . I think we will be competitive in most games but my expectations are lower now obviously.

So wish you we’re right about luck starting week 1.

Personally, I rarely ever watched the games for Luck. I was always watching for our young guys, our competitions in different positions. Sure, Luck being gone will hurt, but this will just go to show how much our defense and offense have actually improved since he was last out. I want to see the defense on the field more, see what they do in more time, and if they don’t have more time on the field, that means the offense is doing work. Either way, it’ll be a good thing to watch. Colts Fan First, IMO

 Jared good thing you are not tied to a HS or college

 

      If I was not ultra positive in everything I would given at age 6

I couldn't get into college sports, not because players leave I understand that, but because of the recruiting process that makes things rigged towards a few select teams. Makes it completely unenjoyable. 

 

I'm not extremely upset over Luck retiring as I considered it a possibility, but I'm definitely depressed as it ruined the football aspect of my life.

Ok. Right now it has come to the point where it's just going to be stressful watching Brissett be mediocre at best, and I can spend the time with my family and girlfriend. Went from having Luck and being SB contenders to being a below average team. Kinda hard to care with what just transpired. Like getting my house robbed and people expecting me to be the same person.

Watch that step off the bandwagon, it’s a doozy, wouldn’t want anyone hurting their ankle

I've been a Colts fan since 1998 when I was 10, longer than most people on this forum. If you want to watch a lost season, that's your perogative. I'm not ordering Sunday ticket for this crap.

And if Jacoby turns into a Star?

 

no one is saying to buy anything. I sure don’t. Plenty of ways to see the games

I've lost all passion for the team right now and probably will just follow game stats and keep up to date on the teams progress. I live in Colorado though, so I would have to order Sunday Ticket and it's not worth it anymore.

 

Will you guys tough out the season knowing things look grim, or spend your Sundays doing other things? Let me know, and vent below if you wish!

 

I think you need to take advantage of living in Colorado, kick back, relax, and watch the show. We have plenty of Colts who deserve your support this season. The Maniac, TY, Cain, Nelson, we still have plenty to be optimistic over. It’s sucks, but it’ll be okay. 

I’ll be watching. :)

I will be watching the team. I won't watch the rest of the league as much. I will have to watch all the Alabama, Oregon and Georgia games this year. Utah State apparently have a potential high pick QB too... 

I agree; I usually love to watch any NFL games but this has definitely taken the fun out of watching the other teams and comparing/contrasting with ours throughout the year. I am a COLTS fan though, not a Luck fan, so I will watch them always. :colts:

If he becomes a star, I'll be man enough to admit I'm wrong, and the games I missed will be my loss. Just don't care enough to watch a season at this point.

I’ve watched the colts since they came to Indy, we’ve had a lot of bad football here. What I’ll have to learn to change is my expectations during the transition. Maybe we don’t have a huge drop off from being relevant in the league but if we do, we have to remember what the Browns have done and what outlook they have now and recall what we had before Harbaugh gave us just a glimmer of hope before Manning took us to such a high level of expectations. I’ll always watch and be a colts fan unless they move and alienate the base.

Not what I said at all

    Even though I have not coached at PCHS In more than 15 years I still wear red on game days and go by Princeton everywhere I can

Yep, the toughest thing I've had to deal with as a Colt fan was the deliberately losing those final two games of '09. Man that sucked. And remember we had to put Sorgi on IR the Friday before the Jet game so Painter had to play. Quite frankly Sorgi probably wins those two games in a reserve role, and Painter had no chance. How do you tell a team not to win????? Even though I'm sure it has happened countless times in pro sports over the years.

I have to keep it real, that was really the only time I was actually angry with the Colts being a fan since 1984. I was disappointed in things like losing to the Pats in 2003 and 2004, losing to Pitt in 2005, and disappointed with Luck's decision today to retire. Having said that, the only thing that actually made me angry was quitting on 16-0. That was just ridiculous and not even explainable in my mind. Being disappointed and angry are 2 different things.

I voted yes as well, but I do think I might take some time off from the boards. I spend a lot of time on here, and let’s be honest my contributions have never been anything substantial. 

 

I think I’ll leave the true technical and sane comments to those like NCF and 2006. Go Colts and Ballard.

I'll definitely watch simply because I'm a Colts fan. My optimism which has grown over the last 12 months has certainly taken a kick to the teeth. For the first time in several years, I was actually more excited about a Colts season than a Notre Dame season. I've swung back hard to ND over the last 15 hours lol. 

 

What I won't be doing this year is going to any games. I was planning to combo some visits back to Indy to visit friends and family, and catch a few games. I was also trying to get a guy's trip to the TB game planned. Still may go to Tennessee and Carolina games if we're in contention, but that will be a late year call.

    • Any news on the attempted talks with Blackmon?   Worst case scenario:  we don't sign Blackmon, or any other safety FA, miss out on what few guys there are in this very non-deep safety draft, and wind up going into the season with Cross and Thomas as our best two guys.  Ewwww.
    • My follow up is about what you think is the most cost-efficient way to acquire the needed players to make the defense work as designed.    As to your point about risk, I guess... If you think specific DE prospects just aren't that good, that's one thing. I'm definitely against propping up a prospect just because he plays a position of perceived need. But I would think that if the Colts take a DE at #15, they see him as a potential game changing pass rusher, and the expectation is for him to exceed what the guys on the roster have shown so far. No one can know for sure, but that's the nature of the draft.   At corner, I just think that a fundamental reason why the Colts prefer their zone heavy scheme is because it's easier to find corners who can excel at zone coverage. So there's less of a premium on the position in this scheme, and that's by design. I also don't think the top 4-5 corners in this class fit Ballard's preferred profile. (Side point: This is not conventional thinking, but I think the order of importance in this defense is 3T, Edge, Will, FS, then CB. I think the objective is to take away big plays, funnel routes to the middle, and have rangy playmakers at Will and FS who can create turnovers. I'm not saying that's how I would build a defense, but I think that's the intention. Which also influences my thinking on Ballard's preferences in the draft.)    The scheme element doesn't necessarily apply at WR, but I think the value at WR favors taking one on Day 2, and I think Ballard's appetite for second round WRs is well established. I'd be open to drafting a WR at #15, but I don't think the Colts will do it.   So if I was an oddsmaker, I'd favor the Colts going DE or DT at #15, just based on how I think the top of the draft will fall, and the players available. I think most fans prefer corner or WR, mostly because of perceived need, but I don't see that happening. Nothing would shock me, though.
    • Ballard on Free Agency:   “No doubt we looked into free agency in totality,” Ballard said. “I mean, we looked at everybody. It kind of worked out where it ended up being a lot of our own guys, which are all good players.”
    • I know you're joking, but I hope they do sign an older vet for a year.  They young guys have so little experience, they need guidance.  I was hoping it would have been GIlly or Nelson but there's no noise there.  I think Gilmore may be headed back to Carolina.   I'd rather sign a veteran than spend the first pick on a CB.  It's a crap shoot and we haven't had the best luck.  JuJu has yet to prove himself.     I'm not buying the hype on Mitchell until he starts facing NFL talent.  The MAC isn't exactly a hotbed for WRs.
    • I’ll take Ravens or 49rs. either one is fine with me.
