After the initial shock of being pounded in front of a national audience, I began to think... this could be a good thing for our team.
We all hate a loss.... a 31 point loss is no different than a 1 point loss in my book... both put a L in the column on the schedule.
What this loss in particular should do... is send a huge wake up call to our team. Maybe the words "Earn it" will take on a meaning more than just something printed on a T-shirt. Maybe this team will work harder to live up the expectations that they seem to have bought into too well tonight.
This was a team loss... no one player or coach lost this game. We turned the ball over... we dropped passes... we couldn't protect.... we couldn't run block... we couldn't cover... we couldn't stop the run... we couldn't dial up a play call to save our lives.
What all that should tell this team is.... if you want to play with the best.... you're going to have to "Earn it"... literally.... not just on paper... or by reputation.
We didn't all of a sudden become a bad team.... we just didn't "Earn it" tonight.
If a loss like this doesn't light a complete inferno under the hind of this team and it's coaches... nothing will.
Personally.... I expect to see them use this as fuel for the fire.
Thank you Peyton Manning, Tony Dungy, and the Colts defense.... Thank You for sending my team an early reality check... we didn't want to have one... but it looks as though it was necessary.
