I was thinking about this yesterday. It seems to me that the further we get away from the Manning days and the (good) Luck days, losing doesn't bother me as much anymore. Especially losing the first game as has become tradition. I'm middle age now, not "old", but I'm not upset for a week anymore if we lose. A loss deep in the playoffs might do it, but we usually don't get there anyway.

Same. I am 46 now and with all the other thing I have going on, work, kids, house, etc, I just dont have time or energy to get that worked up with a loss. When I was younger it bothered me a lot more.

At 68 it bugs you even less. Life ends up hitting everyone with things that really count. I still get pissed big time, but it doesn't last once the freaking game is over. If I stopped getting pissed I'd stop watching because, for me, it would mean I don't care. I enjoy nothing better than watching the Colts turn it around. Hoping they do it again but think we are a year away from competing for championship. I will enjoy watching Paye et al improve to the point of dominating.

I'm close to 75, and it pissed me off when Unitas lost, it pissed me off when Jones lost, it pissed me off when Manning lost, it pissed me off when Luck lost, it pisses me off whenever the Colts lose !

You guys were pissed after last weeks results. We could have both tackles out this week. It will get ugly. We might keep that first round pick after all if last week was a clue.
