Dungy and his previous 3-4 starts...

Alright everyone, obviously I am not the only frustrated Colts fan around.  My brother and I were pounding anything that was close to us as the Colts made a mistake throughout the game.  I would describe myself as a pretty pessimistic guy and could easily consider this season as a waste, while the end of Manning's career comes closer by.  However, I am not throwing in the towel yet until it is statiscally proven. 

Question:  What has led to Tony Dungy's previous 3-4 starts as a coach?  ......Answer:  PLAYOFFS!

Those starts let to eventual playoff berths between the 1999-2001 seasons with records of 11-5, 10-6, and 9-7.  I'm not saying a 9-7 record will get the Colts into the playoffs, but you get the jist of my point   Anything can happen from now until the Colts 16th game against who?...well, lets not talk about it until the game rolls by.  Dungy has been in this situation before, so lets ride the ship and see what happens.

Dungy.

First I want to say that I am very proud of how we played last night. The Run D was fantastic…the entire Defense was fantastic. They kept us in that game.

Dom was on fire! For an offense that can’t run the ball, they (the O line included) sure looked like they could. Peyton is still off. But hey, that will get worked out.

Now, as for Dungy…where is HIS fire, HIS passion? I think we had that interception in the 2nd quarter (?). Why, for the love of everything blue, did he not throw that challenge flag???? We ended the half with 3 timeouts, I hope he wasn’t worried about wasting one… Of course, because ESPN sucks – they don’t show you replays and the announcers are to busy chatting like a bunch of women – I will really never know if I’m right.

I have been reluctant to jump on the “Dungy’s gotta go” bandwagon. Until last night. Now, I’m upset at the way the game ended, so I don’t know how I will feel when I calm down…but I think Dungy isn’t into it anymore.

And, one more thing..Dungy said that we Colts fans are spoiled because we’re used to always winning (duh)..but I ask you…hasn’t HE been spoiled because we’re always winning – seems to me that a team that has consitently played as the Colts have makes coaching a whole lot easier.
