ICF, I'm concerned about the future.
Aside from a few guys this year (Wayne, Clark, Collie, Mathis, Freeney), the Colts, including the staff, are just fucking up. Plug Manning back in, and things work again, but unless Luck is literally the second coming of Manning-Christ, you guys have a piss poor defense that works because of two aging badass pass rushers, an offense that is totally non-functional without an amazing quarterback, and no coaching abilities. Even with Luck, you might be facing a really dark time ahead.
On the other hand, the Patriots have Brady for a few more years, but our personnel decisions have basically turned to shit in the last several years. Every time we draft a great rookie defense player, when they want more money, we ship them off, and rely on dreams of finding them again through the draft. Instead, the defense is getting nowhere. We needed a rush, everyone knew it, and instead we got more slow and/or washed up linemen. We should mortgage the future for championships now, while Brady is still here, while the offensive line is still solid, while Wes Welker is carrying the entire fucking offense on his shoulders when Brady fucks up. And yeah, Brady keeps fucking up this year, he's forcing throws into guys, instead of looking around for the open man. Welker makes it work because he's got sticky fingers, Gronk makes it work because he's big enough to be a lineman.
. But for me it's only temporary relief. My issues are more life long, deeper, and some of it is brain chemistry. Which isn't to say I don't make things a lot worse for myself. I'm the fucking king of shooting myself in the face, making excuses etc, I admit it, but that too is a problem.
