Nor will I. He is a coach you have to respect for puttin' up with such an owner for as long as he has.

You'er right, we do have to leapfrog the Titans........ and the Jags..........., and eventually the Colts! This year would be as good as any, to start the climb, wouldn't you agree?

Yes, I agree we need to start the climb. With 3 of the teams from our division making the playoffs last year jump over one should in theory put us in the mix for the playoffs. Also with Dungy leaving after this year that could be the start of the end (2009) of Indy's run as top of the heap.

But again I will wait for late July to drink the tea, right now I am just smelling it and it smells good. So it should be another exciting year.

well i'm a tea drinkin' mofo! i say we do what the lowly patriots couldn't and run the whole season!!!

nah, but i don't think 3 teams are going to the playoffs from one conference again so we'll have to be better than the colts or the jags too. and if 3 go from AFCsouth again we still need to beat the colts and jags.

Oh I'm not drinkin' the tea. Not yet anyway. However it does seem to taste a little sweeter than in the past. No, before I make any rash statements, I looked back at last year and said to myself, we've finally got a G.M. who knows how to evaluate and draft talent. This year I found out that same G.M. was not afraid to roll the dice to improve the team (trading down and picking up 2 extra picks, and still getting his man, or what was left of the men he was aiming at, all along). We have also added a well respected offensive line guru in coach Gibbs, and a well respected secondary coach in coach Rhoades. We have stockpiled some quality depth along the way.

What was it Winston Churchill said during WWII? .......oh yeah, he said, "This may not be the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning". That pretty much says it all. We have gone through the rough times, taken some shellakings, but now we are ready to go to war!
