I'll add that his closeness to AR might give him more information than the average fan, but in the end his loyalty to AR and sucking up to AR is as much a requirement of his job as it might be true too.

He talks a lot about hurt. Great sound-bite material for sure, but I don't seem to recall seeing any anger, fighting, yelling or even a thrown helmet "out of frustration." Did I miss something? Hell, I'd love to see that kind of emotion, it might make me thing these guys care. All i saw was a bunch of typical coach-speak and players telling us what we all knew (IOW, a waste of an interview). "We didn't execute and ge the job done" and "credit to the Colts, they got the job done" and things of that ilk are just silly. So this seemed as much scripted as anything else. I'm left to wonder if he wasn't looking at the camera because he was reading from a teleprompter.

"How will they respond"? LOL, most are prolly headed to Cancun or a sunny beach location, and Bowe is headed to Denver! And they "will respond to Andy Reid like they have all year"? OK.....It begs the question, why was he asking them to suck blow big leads. I think Andy needs to get A LOT meaner if this is true.

Sorry to dis on the guy's interview, but I think the fans are hurting more than anybody who gets paid by the franchise. And the lack of documented emotion about this most egregious of losses is pretty telling.
I was thinking about this after looking back at the Saints player arguing with anyone who would listen on the side lines trying to get his helmet back so he could get back into the game. There was no way in hell they were putting him back out there after getting his bell rang, but he was obviously pissed about not being able to get back on the field and had a huge desire to get back out there for his team.

Our players often seem like the over the top desire to compete just isn't there. Sure they play hard, but I haven't noticed enough of the fire and emotion to pull through the tough moments of big games.
