Default colts are cracking

Just to put our offseason "issues" in perspective, here's what's going on with the team Vegas favors to win the Super Bowl...

Assorted page 1 topics on IndyStar Message Board:
  • Should Dungy Be Fired?
  • Poll: Whose Fault is it the colts have sucked in Playoffs?
  • How many more years for Polian?
  • Manning Era Colts should've been to at least 1 SB by now.
  • OT: LOL at Lions

Without even looking at their message board my first question would be how many of those topics were actually started by a Colt fan and not another team's Trolls? I'm a cynic but a realist!

If we wanted to read about the Dolts we have the ability to go to their message board and read. Why bring it here?

Cool. Thanks for the link. Actually, I think this is absolutely nothing comapared to what we would be seeing on this board if the situations were reversed. Cripes, we win three of the last five SBs and there is still doom and gloom over BB not addressing LB,etc., and every year we lose three or four contributors (just lke every team in the NFL) and suddenly the situation is dire. Other NFLteams lose players and replace them in the draft or FA, but our lost players cannot be replaced. No one is up to the task.

So, yeah, the Colts are over-reacting, but so do we, every day.

THe good news is the Colts have a reason to panic, and we don't.

The poll is quite interesting. "The Players" are in the lead right now although as edzoo predicts "patriots4ever" "NHPats" and a few others have contributed.

There's a little part of me that empathizes with Colts fans. I try not to forget where we came from and I try to appreciate where we are now.

Personally, I am stunned that they even have fans. My favorite is the "Why hasn't Polian won a Super bowl". Wonder if the know the answer is three simple words: New England Patriots.

I agree partially. Last year was the Colts year. the stars aligned for this team. We got knocked out.. They got to play a 6th seed at home. Their biggest decision in the regular season was to rest players or not. i dont remember any big injuries.

then they play Pitt and get outplayed. After that i really believe that manning cannot get it done. I know it's a team sport but he is in control of that offense against a team that barely made the playoffs and couldn't do a thing.

They even got 3 b.s. calls to try and help them out and they still couldn't get it done. it really is unbelievable.

I agree. They are always a threat but it really did seem like last year was the year and they still couldn't do it. We better hope Manning doesn't get hurt and is replaced by a Brady clone.

I don't feel bad for Peyton and Co., but I do feel bad for Colts fans. That playoff game was brutal, especially after their recent humiliations in the postseason against both the Pats and the Jets.
