Am I a Bad Colts Fan?

Is it horrible that I am not really that upset about losing the game?  In fact, I'm kind of relieved, but it makes me feel horrible that I feel this way.  Usually after losing a game I have to convince myself that it's ok and that it's not the end of the world or anything, but today, I felt very unaffected by it.  It's like I almost preferred losing so we wouldn't have to worry about the Patriots and all the media hype.  I know that if we had happened to lose next week, I would not be handling it quite so well, so I'm kinda satisfied with losing now.  Maybe I'm just ready for the offseason (something I have never ever said before and something that I have never even thought of saying), ready to start preparing for next year.  Again, I feel horrible about saying that, but no matter how many times I told myself that we were going back to the superbowl, I just couldn't picture it really happening.  Last year, from the very beginning of the year I continually proclaimed that the Colts would be the champs.  When our run defense was virtually non-existent, I still stood by them, daring anyone to contradict me.  But this year, even though we had no apparent weakness (besides the slew of injuries of course), I never had that kind of confidence in them.  Realizing that I felt this way is much more painful and harder for me to handle than the loss itself.  Am I just the worst Colts fan in the world, or does anyone else feel this way?

I wasn't relieved, but I would say it made me feel better knowing that Eli was still in it and had a chance. I was very happy that he got to experience handing the Patriots a loss.

I don't think you are a bad colts fan. Although, I am a disappointed with the outcome of yesterdays game, I am also a little relieved I actually dont have to listen to anymore talk about the patriots and any comparisons to the colts( as if there are any!!!) Colts are the best team whether they win or lose.

I CANT SAY I AGREE WITH THAT EXACTLY, BUT I DO KNOW IF WE WON THIS WEEK, AND LOST TO THE PATSIES.........ILL LEAVE IT AT THAT

NO you are not a bad Colts fan at all, I too have those same feelings.

I don't think you're a bad Colts fan. In a way, I'm kinda relieved too. But it sure would have been nice to beat the Patriots in New England though. Maybe we're all in denial?

It's vey interesting but you have just put down in writing about how I feel. I am dispapointed we did not win, but not suicidal like I was after the loss to the Steelers 2 years ago. I know how hard it is to repeat and I think I went into the season with that in mind. HOPING we woud repeat but knowing how hard it is. So knowing that we won't repeat isn't that bad because we will always be the 2006 World Champs. And I am with you I would rather lose this week than in Foxboro again. Don't beat yourself up, we are all great fans, I think just a little more mature since we have been champions. Let's look forward to next year and all the new beginnings. I still beleieve in blue and can't wait for next year. We have nothing to hang our heads about, Our guys went out like champions fighting to the last minute. GO COLTS!!
