Upset About Loss

[shaikh015]

The reason I'm upset about this loss is because when you look at the big picture. Example, what your team has achieved and the ability of individual players to achieve the ultimate goal. You would see that with the players we have we went all the way up to the AFC championship with a rookie Qb. Now, initially when you see that this is a championship caliber team your expectations are high. The end result is that our team actually took a step back by not making it to the AFC Championship game. I just wanted people to ponder this thought of stepping back this year that's all folks...

Few teams make the AFC Championship one year and return the next year. That's the nature of the NFL.

It would've been very difficult for the Ravens to do it considering the lack of talent and injuries that decimated them in key areas.

Yes, they took a step back but the fact they made the post-season was still impressive.

Do they in this scenario? When was the last time a team made a championship game back-to-back seasons?

Agreed...did the steelers or patriots or the cardinals movw forward this year?

[shaikh015]

Your right I agree that doesn't usually happen we would have been the first team to do that if it happened to us.....

I was pretty upset about the loss too, but it wasn't even close to how much it hurt losing to the Steelers last year.

I'm already over our loss, but last year the pain didn't stop until a week after the Superbowl.

For me Stealers and Colts are neck and neck...We have a connection with these teams like enemies, foe's that always clash all the time like many armies do...

Believe me I despise the Colts, but the hate I have for the Steelers is on another level. When the Colts and Steelers play, that is the one game when I become a die hard Colts fan.

The Colts, Stealer's and Pats rotate Championship i wonder when we are going to break this cycle..
