There are WAY too many reasons why the Colts lost that game.
They choked... no two ways about it. I am however, still a fan.

One of the many reasons I'm crazy about you, Chris. You're a die-hard fan. I like that. I love my Chargers even when I watch a game and mutter "well, you guys certainly screwed the pooch with that one."
Years ago when John Carney was with the Chargers and was going for some kind of record, I was glued to the set. Carney was "my guy." (My husband even haunted the sports memorbilia stores to get me his cards for Christmas.) When he finally missed one, I was so relieved, because I was a fan of *his,* not a record. The pressure was finally off him. Kickers miss occasionally. Sometimes they kick the frigging ball into a different zip code than the posts and nobody can explain why. And, all too often, their foot is the determining factor in a win or a loss. The pressure must be nearly unbearable.
