State of the Board
The state of this board tells you everything you need to know about this season so far, even though it's early. I cannot remember it ever being this dead and lacking energy during the season. Hope seems to have taken a flyer, both with us on the board and with what is being written in general about the Colts. We need a statement game Sunday, which I am not sure we are capable of. Scrambling like we are to find offensive lineman and defensive backs this early in the season is a bad look. On the somewhat positive side I think Wentz may be the long term answer at QB, if we don't get him killed. What am I missing?

For me, the thing you are missing is my general lack of interest in the NFL as a whole as it goes more and more woke and pounding the table for social justice.
In my opinion, the reason that folks have traditionally watched sports is for a "relief" from the worries and tribulations of life. No matter what else was happening in your life or in the world, you could tune into a game and tune out of the world for 3 hours watching two teams compete on a level playing field. May the best team win. Now? The "struggle for..." and the "fight against...." are brought up a fair amount. COVID restrictions on those not willing to get the shot border on insane. Rulings on the field that fly in the face of what you are seeing with your own eyes cheapen my enjoyment of the game. And, yeah, outside of the first two series last Sunday, our O-Line was just a train wreck. Regardless of where the Colts franchise is, my overall desire to watch any NFL product is just a lot less than it was even a couple of years ago. |

I think life balance has more to do with it.. I personally work a lot more now than pre Covid.. I was out of work a few months as well as Covid happened right in the middle of us buying a house... So it fell through.. not to mention lost family members and friends. I am still excited about the season and am hopeful but for me Football has taken more of a back seat. I, like others I am sure just have so much that has happened or is happening in their lives thanks to this pandemic.
Not to mention I have a 5 year old daughter who acts like she is turning 15. I get on here when I can.. lunch breaks etc. Hopefully the Colts can get their shit together and get us all a little more excited. |

I know that these may be the reasons we give but I'm not buying into that. I think it is 90% we suck and there are very few reasons for hope early. NFL viewership was up 21% over last year, I know COVID but still. Cle/KC was CBS's most watched first weekend game since 2015. This team needs a complete attitude turnaround Sunday. Playing like we did Sunday is on the coaching staff in my mind.

I don't think that we suck. We sucked in the first game of the season against Russell Wilson's Seahawks, but I don't think that we suck overall. I believe that were are a solid team with a good, mobile QB (as opposed to last season, when we had a good, immobile QB.) o

That said, I'm really not noticing anything very "woke" out there, at least from a tv perspective, and I still try to watch every Colts game I can.

I work in a petri dish, and that was before the world disaster that will not be named. I’m tired. This is my last year of full employment, I will retire in the spring.
Its hard to get fired up for football when Im just trying to end my career and hopefully be heading into the future, despite all of the uncertainty of recent times. I am hoping for a calmer Weekend this week, pour myself some small batch and see a good game |

C&O I get your point, but at this point in the season (way early) we suck. Now I'm hoping the last game was an aberration. Like you I feel we have a talented group. But until we play better (this Sunday I hope) I'll stand by we suck.

Such a horrible concept, damn those Brown people for wanting justice and equality.
