Coming out of the depression

As is my norm, it takes until the following Tuesday after a Sunday loss for me to read, listen or discuss a Colts loss.

This one hurts.

It hurts a lot.

I am bitter and angry and I hate that I have to wait 6 months to watch football again. I will say however, that I am hopeful for the Colts future.

This off season will be like getting 4 free agents in Jackson, Sanders, Gonzalez and Hagler that will start for this team in 2010. What a blessing our depth is.

We still have Bill Polian who will navigate this cap mess that the NFL is entering into better than anyone, so we have a competitive advantage right there.

I'll let DZ over at 18to88.com explain what we need as I agree with his assessment, but our last 2 playoff losses have a direct result of special teams/field position. An answer needs to be found, and quickly.


So, while I look forward to the combine, the draft, free agency and the eventual start of training camps I just can't close my eyes without seeing those few crucial plays replay in my mind. I wonder how our team will respond to this loss. All previous indications would say that they will rebound better than ever, but a Super Bowl loss has never occurred to this team and history is not kind to the Super Bowl loser.

I'll turn my attention to Purdue basketball (another failure waiting to happen) and fantasy baseball (I have been doing it for 9 years now) all while keeping a watchful eye toward the impending NFL labor crisis (I actually think profootballtalk.com is a useful site for this considering Mike Florio's legal expertise).

I will be in and around, until next time.....
