The threads themselves are/were inert. It's the Colts' defense that you didn't like.

Good point, and thanks for saying that.

That said, it's usually heavily weighted on how the defense plays. If the defense has a great season, the annual defense thread is going to be overwhelmingly liked by the team's fans. And if the team's defense is horrible, the thread is not going to be at the top of the team's fans' Christmas list.

It's somewhat similar to baseball, when fans argue and complain about the team's color commentator. When their team goes 97-65 for the season, there will almost always be much less complaining about said commentators than when the team goes 65-97. When the team goes 97-65, even if the team's color commentator does suck, most fans will either be too busy celebrating the team's success to care much about it or will laugh off the color commentator's suckage as comic relief in anotherwise joyful season. When a team goes 65-97, the pitchforks and fire come out for everybody from the players to the coaches to the color commentatrors to the guy selling soda in the upper deck of the stadium.
