So instead of losing my mind like half of Colt's nation, I'm going to chose to look on the bright side. The Colts can now get over the perfect season stuff and start concentrating on the bigger picture. Honestly, it was embarassing the way the fans reacted at the game and on these kinds of boards. Makes me think of a spoiled child. How would you like to be a Saints fan right now. - holaday Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:27:38 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5241 Hoo rah for that. I have been trying to put that into words all day. I love that comment. "Shows how seriously Colts want to win the SB, regardless of what a bunch of sports columnists have to say about it." That is exactly how I have been trying to say it and couldn't. Get out of my head! - bubbadeez Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:47:54 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5238 Loved it. Shows how seriously Colts want to win the SB, regardless of what a bunch of sports columnists have to say about it. - IanSB Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:32:30 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5228 "If we DO win the Super Bowl now, this is going to suck even worse. We will have washed 19-0 down the drain when it was right in our hands." Faulty logic. We'll never know if Manning or another key starter would have gone down had they played the whole Jets game, then played well into the Buffalo game. Winning the SB will make everyone forget this real quickly. I'm already over it. - JTBLA Sun, 27 Dec 2009 19:25:42 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5226 I nominate Hoss to now run the site. His dedication and loyalty to the team is so overwhelming that I cannot fathom anything less. Lose one game and toss it all in. No matter how it was lost, it was one game. - bubbadeez Sun, 27 Dec 2009 18:45:20 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5223 You see Sons of Anarchy? I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS!! Absolutely ZERO balls. Bupkis. - J.C.

Rest 'em, we've seen how that's worked out in the past...and then the Colts hierarchy can take the brunt for being so stupid. Not that Polian would care, he'd just tell us all how stupid we are and to basically shut up. What a waste of a great regular season. - Hoss Sun, 27 Dec 2009 18:23:05 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5219 Man, it feels like the Indystar.com/colts comments section in here today. - bubbadeez Sun, 27 Dec 2009 17:56:29 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5218 Here is how I look at it. If we DO win the Super Bowl now, this is going to suck even worse. We will have washed 19-0 down the drain when it was right in our hands. A SB victory does not justify this move, it would only make it more painful. 14-0, leading the jets in the 3rd quarter, and playing a horrid Buffalo team the next week. It couldn't be an easier task at that point. After all the comeback wins this year, to throw this one in the garbage with a chance at immortality, just makes me want to puke. This was a stupid, stupid decision by Caldwell/Polian. I do not accept this. I am one of those fans that will never forget. Worst of all, Karma is going to kick our asses in the playoffs. You don't piss away a chance at NFL history on purpose. - Guy.

Only problem is the Colts are going to lose next week, too. Peyton will play one drive and then it's.... PAINTER TIME. = gigantic loss to the lowly Bills. - DemondSanders Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:46:44 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5215 Even if we win the Super Bowl, I will never forget this game. :( - filiusdextris Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:42:15 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5212 For people claiming it's lose/lose now b/c even a super bowl win will be tainted b/c we had a chance at 19-0, a SB commenter said "Our 18-1 > your 18-1". If we win the super bowl, I will forget this game ever happened. - psvirsky Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:22:23 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5210 I'm sorry, I'm still in the depression stage, haven't got to acceptance yet. :( But did one game and a half more (the last game is against the pathetic bills, btw) would make SUCH a difference? Manning was barely touched. And yes, I agree, the superbowl is all that matters. But every year one team wins the superbowl. But in the history of the NFL, only one team won the superbowl undefeated. There's a big difference there. And if you never try, you'll never get it. One game and a half more. One game and a half. - jpjandrade Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:07:22 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5209 It wasn't 11 guys that got a PAT blocked, it was 9. One holder and One kicker. - bubbadeez Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:06:34 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5207 Finally another voice of reason out there. I am glad people are finally calming about this a little. I was starting to worry everyone was going to lose their minds. I know it is painful, and we will all now wonder what could have been, but I for one am a little relieved that my stress will be lower until Mid-January now. I don't have to get up at 3 am next week to watch the game. (I am in Japan, btw) - bubbadeez Sun, 27 Dec 2009 16:01:23 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5206 I feel the same way. I expected them to mail it in against Jacksonville. I argued for it, what with the short week. This one really hurts. On another note, let's save the vitriol for the 11 guys who gave up a kickoff return for a touchdown. And the 11 guys who allowed a PAT to get blocked. Painter can probably hold a 14 pt lead. There was no way he could a five point lead. - Chris S. Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:59:06 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5205 Think about it this way: the Jets, assuming they win, would come back to Indianapolis in 3 weeks. You think Peyton wouldn't come out and absolutely destroy them? I mean, they'd be looking forward to the wrong side of payback for the 41-0 shutout and for this game. It might be 72-0. Does it suck? Yes. But ultimately, Caldwell and Polian weighed the risks and rewards and decided on this course of action. I would rather have Mathis, Freeney, Brackett, Garcon, and everyone else come into the playoffs with a full head of steam and some pent up frustration and just destroy everyone on their way to the Super Bowl. The goal isn't 16-0. It never was. The goal, as always, is 4-0. Win the division, get the first round bye, get home field advantage, win the Super Bowl. So far, we're 3-0. As I see it, we're one game away from perfection. - Monkey Business Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:58:52 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5202 After relaxing a bit on this...it's no big deal. If we win the first playoff game and then lose then it wouldn't have made a difference. We have a better chance of winning with as many starters healthy as possible. I believe we will win the first playoff game and be a scary opponent in the AFC championship game. Freeney and Mathis will be like they were against Arizona and we're going to be facing a good passing opponent. Manning will be sharp. We are better off absolutely insuring these guys are healthy and sharp. I trust our staff. Fuck the "this brings more pressure" crowd. The playoffs always carry maximum pressure. I want a healthy Manning, Addai, Wayne, Session, Mathis, Freeney, Bullitt, etc. - Merr Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:43:30 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5196 A player will obviously want to stay in, but the coach is the guy in charge. We don't have Brett "Jerry Jones' ego ain't got shit on me" Favre at the QB position or Brad Childress running the show. It is a disappointment, but I still firmly believe all will be ok. - bubbadeez Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:26:19 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/december/heres-another-way-to-look-at-it.html#comment-5194 You know the worst part of it? The season now is at a lose / lose situation. You get knocked out of the playoffs in the div. round or in the championship, and, well, you just got knocked out. And if you win the superbowl, then there will be the feeling that they could've done it. They won but they could've been undefeated. Sucks =( - jpjandrade Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:25:50 +0100
