Some candidates for New Colts President


I hate to see our community divided, this is my favorite Colts website but im taking a break form posting fanposts and fanshots until this site decides to move on.

I want to express my feelings about the 16-0, 16-0 has been done before by the Patriots ,do i envy the Patriots Banner in their Stadium? NO. why? cuz that banner is just a reminder of their Super Bowl loss.

Now 16-0 importance as a record is zero in fact we joined them both the 07 Pats and 72 phins as the only 3 teams to be 14-0. Oh the Patriots were 16-0 and we didn't? so what? i dont envy that, to envy is to waste my time.

To get to 16-0 was going to require playing our guys and going all out like a playoff game, on every game thus far we had player injuries, to try to guess who was going to get injured is stupid but risk vs reward ratio has to weight in to make you take a decision on who to play, so anyone that thinks that we should have gone all out to try to tie the Patriots Undefeated Regular season has to agree that he was willing to to see and accept some injuries.

A perfect season has already been done also by the 72 phins so this record is also a tie , im clear that 19-0 has never been done before, phins were 17-0 but 16-0 does not guarantee a 19-0 anyway.

On every game and on every practice there is the risk of injury but when you earn the 1st seed the reward that comes with it is the privilege to give rest and give time to heal those playing hurt, wayne(foot injury),clark(hamstring),Johnson(foot),Peyton(rear end).mathis/freeney(hamstrings),Powers and many others.

That privilege gives our team an advantage over other teams ,I am exited for this year playoff run , I am exited to get to see a Fresh and Healthy Colts team in the playoffs , if we were competitive and winning with a banged up roster this Colts team is a scary team with everyone as healthy as possible, Healthy we are the team to beat. and thats a period.

Preventing injuries on an already thin rooster was the decision made by our organization (Polian/Irsay/Caldwell). a decision that was determined to be in the best interests of the Colts’ Super Bowl chances.

Same Organization that took the decisions that lead this team to its first 14-0 season and to BREAK not tie a consecutive wins record and the most wins in a decade of any decade record.

As fans we need to follow our players if they move on we need to move on with them. If they dont second guess we should not do it either.

For the people betting on what will be the aftermath of all this controversy , some think i will hurt the colts organization. For the Colts to avoid being compared with the atlanta Braves they have to win Super Bowls and i think we will and more than one, the Colts can shake off that reputation.

But how are we going to shake off the reputation we are bringing over ourselves? Example of many; Indy Fans are the new NY yankees fans , if they dont win them all there is riot. Colts fans are the most spoiled brats in the sport, and so on.

To the group of fans that are not happy with Polian's body of work or want Polian and or Caldwell out of Indy , I want to make an election on who of our most vocal fans on the prosecution side of all this, would make a better candidate to fill Polian shoes as Colts Team President. Please cast your vote and if you want to nominate anyone else do so in the comments.

Until we do like our players and move on this is my last fanpost. GO COLTS!
