- - One game doesn't make the season (http://www.coltfreaks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=216642)

So, I am retiring this week after 31 years of federal service; 8 on active duty and now 23 as a civilian employee.

As I was cleaning out my desk, I came to my....large....collection of Colts game day booklets, flags, newspaper articles, books, tchotchkes, and other Colts related stuff...

...and, the vast majority went in the trash.

I saved the commerative Super Bowl football from our win, the SB41 flag a buddy got me from that same game, the game booklet from when Marvin went in the Ring of Honor and that was about it. Decades of Colts memories and I decided that I would be happy with the memories and did not need the stuff.

They are my team; that will not change. I will still watch them every weekend as life permits but I cannot even begin to express on how unenergized I am by our current roster. Beyond Nelson, JT, Warren, Pierce, Downs, Buck, Grover and Sauce, I don't have a ton of investment in them as Colts players and I don't have high expectations of them.

We are just on the wrong track and will not ever be competitive with our current leadership, management and player group. Change needs to happen for excitment to enter into the equation again for me.

If true that is not a good thing if your aim is to contend. Good teams pressure the QB (I remember when we could) and you need to be able to withstand that and win against it.

Congratulations man, I still believe this team is better than that

If only we had a good RB and TE to hit short passes. Oh, wait.

Will 0-5 make a season? First win at Tenn.

Seeing the Chiefs tonight I'd say 0-2 is a lock!

The Colts might start the season at 0-3 ...... after the Chiefs, they play the Texans.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that the team's schedule gets easier after that brutal 3-game stretch.

and good coaches help their QB deal with it.

Three teams that have many experts predicting them to hoist the Lombardi this year:

Rams - lost by 20 points
Packers - lost by 17
Broncos - lost by 21

Like I said in the title, 1 game doesn't make the season
