I'll always love the Colts. They're my home team, but they're finished. I'll just watch because it's important to have an NFL team here locally. They aren't going to win anything though
And I love pro football. The Colts aren't going to win anything significant again though.

Same with the Pacers. They're never going to win a championship, but it's good that they're still in the city.

Why do you think the Pacers will never win anything? They took it to 7 games last year.

Brylok, Never is a long time. I agree that we will probably never win anything with this current leadership group and it's depressing as hell. Others on this board disagree so lets hope you and I are full of shit (my wife would back up anyone here who believes that)

The White Sox went 88 years without winning a World Series ...... and then, they won the World Series.

Never is indeed a very long time.

That tells you the scouting is still there. That's the real foundation of every franchise.
Just think how bad this franchise could've been if they took Leaf and Williams over Manning and James.
You have to feel for those Cowboy fans who are over 60 when that organization had great scouting and doesn't even come close after the Aikman era.
We are in the dark ages of being a Colts fan. Some of us who followed the team back to the Baltimore days been through that.

There is a "new" owner that doesn't have the experience of hiring and firing yet. Firing is easy, hiring is not.

We're also always comparing them to the field every year. You bring up the Patriots this year. But last year I was reading about how the Vikings were a model franchise we should be emulating. Same with the Commanders.

You're not reading that this year because nobody is writing it. This year it's the Patriots and Bears and Broncos who have the league figured out. We'll see who it is next year.

And looking at the field vs your team, you see a SB winner every single year and it's not you. Something about that must make people think there's more than a 3% (1/32) of winning.

Because the Bills never won, the 49ers never won, the Jackson Ravens never won, the Burrow Bengals never won, Campbell Lions never won, LaFluer Packers never won.

It's been pointed out lately that the Colts have won a playoff game more recently than the Steelers. Point being... the Super Bowl is zero-sum. Keep some perspective.
