Colts fans are pretending all this is just fine,and maybe it will be,but don't be so disingenuous as to claim it's no big deal.
Coming to a forum comprised of Pats fans who have endured the pain of "cuts",trying to claim all is well ain't gonna fly-not here.
We've watched players like Deion Branch,Willie,Ty Law,Lawyer Milloy,Adam Vinitieri,Corey Dillon-all go. Coaches like Charlie Weiss and Romeo Crennel;Nick Saban and Eric Mangini...
I wasn't on this board then but I'll guarantee you one thing,fans weren't saying everything was "fine". Those were cuts heard round the world,so you're here on the "Thanks For The Memories"
expert panel.
If I were a Colt fan I'd be concerned,mainly because the moves seem more reactionary and so far there's been no evidence of building or a plan. I'm not saying things won't work out,but I'm saying I'd be concerned for this year.
Because they won the SB last year does not automatically guarantee anything the following year. In fact,the odds are against you. Given the fact you've let key defensive starters go and did nothing in FA tells me they're going with rookies-and very little back-up. You'd better pray nothing happens to Sanders. The odds aren't with you there,either.
The Colts run a pretty successful basic scheme so I wonder if Dungy's a creative enough coach to make up for these losses. Or if he has the tools to do so. Colts fans should be wondering the same thing. You don't have enough SB's yet to drink the KoolAid.
