Coming out of the depression

PrintAs 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.....

Technically the franchise has suffered a Super Bowl loss
in SB III, after which they came out flat the following season: 8-5-1. The following season they beat the Cowboys in SB V. All is not lost, and I don’t think we’ll be coming out so flat next season.
How can you not love a team that does this?
I guess I meant this current team

Although....
SBIII Colts lost
SBV Colts won

in 2 years we are in Indy for the SB….oh yeah!!!!!

I think they would just push back the dates a year.

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: Even though the Colts lost, it was a good season. Random facts will resume next week when I recover.
I don't want to wait 2 years
And probably the team will make to the POs AGAIN this year. And if we don’t clinch another SB berth, they’ll call us choker and it’ll be worse than now, so don’t even think about a rebound in 2012; it has to happen in 2011 at SB XLV.

Oh God Basketball
I used to look forward to Big Ten b-ball. But I’m a Hoosier fan, so I have even less to look forward to than you. Let’s see,
Pacers – SUCK
Hoosiers – SUCK
Reds – SUCK
Notre Dame football – SUCK
So that’s why I’m giving up sports until Colts training camp.

The Hoosiers will be a hell of a lot better next year
so with Notre Dame football as well.
The Pacers, well, they are doomed to go bankrupt it seems, and the Red’s division is quite tough to deal with. Oh, and go Cardinals.
In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy's defensive line.
In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! "I hope I'll be safe at home!"
-George Carlin (RIP)
It's sad to see that team now sometimes.

i am beyond depressed right now
i cant even bare the thought of having to emotionally go through an entire new season to get back to this point… ugh its draining and sad just thinking about it
go mavs, go colts, go rangers, go baylor
you'll rebound
we’ve done it the past couple of years after difficult losses… this one just hurts a wee bit more

I don't think so.
