For me, the difficult digesting Luck's decision was because it came with absolutely no indication. Most of us have been spending the better part of a year investing in and getting pumped about the future of this team, which included watching a career unfold that we were all excited to be able to watch. I was even enjoying talking about who the 51-53 guys on the team would be. I was riding high, enjoying watching thirds stringers play for gods sake, when boom the future changed (I'm an idiot and was thinking Luck looked great, moving smiling no obvious pain or boot-just getting that last bit of healing before the season starts). Going from that football high to that football low was quite an experience. Right at this moment, being a Colt fan is bringing me distress, not joy. I'm trying to remember that these lows are what is going to make winning the Super Bowl so damn sweet. I do love being the underdog. Go Colts!!

I’m not as down as you, but I too am sad about this whole thing. Yes, I even fell sad for Andrew, who lost a lifelong love.

The thing that keeps giving me hope is trust in Ballard and Reich. I don’t know if they’ll win a title, but I believe they’re the right men for the job at hand. I’m excited to see how they handle this and if players like Brissett can step up.
