I understand injuries, I just have this weird idea that everyone has them and good teams find a way (just look at Philly winning when they lost their starting QB-it can be done) to win. When you are a .500 team year in and year out (give or take a game or two) you find ways to lose. I tend to agree with Bill Parcels, you are what your record says you are, mediocre (or average if you prefer). Spin it any way you want, the Colts will be home with their families for the playoffs again.

The difference is not spin. It is facts. The facts are that injuries took what was a team on fire and poured a ton of water on it. Had our schedule been reversed, I think we would have won 11-12 games, because the easier games were when healthy, and when we got to the harder part, we had all our key positions outside offensive skill positions out.
