Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major causes of death in under 75s in England. There have been huge gains over the past decades in terms of better treatment for CVD and improvements in lifestyle, but to ensure that there continues to be a reduction in the rate of premature mortality from CVD, there needs to be concerted action in both prevention and treatment.
Cardiovascular disease is defined as all the diseases of the heart and circulation including coronary heart disease (angina and heart attack), and stroke. Around one third of all deaths in the UK are due to these diseases.
Heart attacks and strokes are usually acute conditions and are mainly caused by a blockage that prevents blood from flowing to the heart or brain. The most common reason is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the blood vessels. Strokes can be caused by bleeding from a blood vessel in the brain or by blood clots.
CVD becomes increasingly common in people over the age of 60 and is rare below the age of 30.
Facts and Figure
Prevalence of Cardiovascular Diseases
For further information regarding the source of QOF prevalence data and its limitations please see Note on QOF Data.
Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease and cause of heart attacks. The disease is caused by plaque building up along the inner walls of the arteries of the heart, which narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow to the heart.
In 2017/18 7,791 people had been identified by NHS Blackpool CCG GP practices as living with Coronary Heart Disease(CHD).1 It is estimated that this accounts for only 70% of the total population in Blackpool living with CHD and there are likely to be approximately 3,500 people with undiagnosed CHD.2
NHS Blackpool CGG is shown as a purple marker in Figure 1, with all other CCGs shown in blue. Figure 1 shows that 4.4% of NHS Blackpool CCG's registered population are recorded as living with CHD. The indicator is located outside the 3rd standard deviation meaning that Blackpool has a significantly higher prevalence of CHD than the average of English CCGs (3.2%).

Stroke is the loss of brain function due to a disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. Risk factors for stroke include old age, high blood pressure, previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), diabetes, high cholesterol,tobacco smoking and atrial fibrillation. High blood pressure is the most important modifiable risk factor of stroke.
In 2017/18, 3,934 people of all ages had been identified by NHS Blackpool CCG GP practices as having previously experienced a stroke or ischaemic attack.1 NHSBlackpool CGG is shown as a purple marker in Figure 2, with all other CCGs shown in blue. Figure 2 shows that 2.2% of NHS Blackpool CCG's registered population are recorded as having experienced a stroke or ischaemic attack. The indicator is located outside the 3rd standard deviation meaning that Blackpool has a significantly higher prevalence of stroke than the average of English CCGs (1.8)%.
The estimated prevalence of stroke for people aged 55-79 years is 4.3% in Blackpool; the England average is 3.7%. This means that approximately 1,700 people in this age group are estimated to have suffered from a stroke or ischaemic attack in Blackpool.2
Figure 2: Stroke and Ischaemic Attack Prevalence Funnel Plot Analysis at CCG Level (2017/18 QOF)
Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is elevated. Hypertension puts a strain on the heart, leading to hypertensive heart disease and coronary artery disease if not treated. Hypertension is also a major risk factor for stroke, aneurysms of the arteries (e.g. aortic aneurysm), and peripheral arterial disease and is a cause of chronic kidney disease. A moderately high arterial blood pressure is associated with a shortened life expectancy while mild elevation is not. Dietary and lifestyle changes can improve blood pressure control and decrease the risk of health complications, although drug treatment is still often necessary in people for whom lifestyle changes are not enough or not effective.
In 2017/18, 30,799 people had been identified by NHS Blackpool CCG GP practices as living with hypertension.1 NHS Blackpool CGG is shown as a purple marker in Figure 3, with all other CCGs shown in blue. Figure 3 shows that 17.3% of NHS Blackpool CCG's registered population, are recorded as living with hypertension. The indicator is located outside the 3rd standard deviation meaning that Blackpool has a significantly higher prevalence of CHD than the average of English CCGs (13.9%).
The estimated prevalence of undiagnosed hypertension is 12.9% in Blackpool; the England average is 12.2%. This means that between approximately 17,000 people are estimated to be living with undiagnosed hypertension in Blackpool.2

Mortality from Cardiovascular Diseases
There were 465 deaths from CVD across Blackpool in 2015-17 in people aged under 75. The directly standardised mortality rate(in this case per 100,000 population) is calculated to allow comparison between geographies of different population sizes and with different gender and age make ups. As displayed in Figure 4, Blackpool's mortality rate from circulatory diseases in those aged under 75 (119.7 per 100,000 pop.) is the second highest in the country and more than 50% greater than that of England (72.7 per 100,000 pop.).

Figure 5 shows the trend in mortality from cardiovascular diseases in those aged under 75, comparing Blackpool to the North West and England averages. Nationally and in Blackpool there has been a decrease in mortality from cardiovascular diseases, although the mortality rate in Blackpool remains significantly higher than the national and regional rate.
Figure 5: Trend in CVD mortality - persons aged under 75 - 2001-03 to 2015-17
Figure 6 shows the difference in male and female mortality for those aged under 75 years. Of the 465 deaths in 2015-17 in Blackpool, 69% were male and 31% female which is similar to the England average split. However, it can clearly be seen that in Blackpool rates for both sexes are significantly higher than the national average.

Preventable mortality
The basic concept of preventable mortality is that deaths are considered preventable if, in the light of the understanding of the determinants of health at the time of death, all or most deaths from the underlying cause (subject to age limitsif appropriate) could potentially be avoided by public health interventions in the broadest sense.
In Blackpool, 311 (68%) of the deaths from cardiovascular disease in people aged under 75 are considered preventable
This is slightly higher than the national average of 64%
The difference between males and females in Blackpool is considerable, with 73% of male deaths considered preventable compared to 58% of female deaths
Figure 7 shows mortality from coronary heart disease in people aged under 75 years for all CCGs in England. There were 275 deaths in 2015-17, a Blackpool rate of 70.5 per 100,000 pop, significantly higher than the England average of 38.8 per 100,000.

The Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP) publishes national and local level findings on the organisation of stroke services, including acute care organisation, staffing and pathway at discharge. It reflects the organisation of stroke services as at July 2016 and gives a comprehensive picture of current services. Results for Blackpool Teaching Hospital show it meets 4 out of the 10 key indicators on stroke service organisation.

National and local strategies
DH, Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes Strategy (March 2013) provides advice to local authority and NHS commissioners and providers about actions to improve cardiovascular disease outcomes.
PHE, Cardiovascular disease data and analysis: a guide for health professionals explains how commissioners and health professionals can use data and analysis for decisions about cardiovascular services and interventions.
PHE, Health matters - Action on cardiovascular disease: getting serious about prevention looks at the work being undertaken to prevent cardiovascular disease (CVD).
NICE guideline [PH25] Cardiovascular disease prevention (June 2010) covers the main risk factors linked with cardiovascular disease: poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. It aims to reduce the high incidence of cardiovascular disease.
NICE guideline [PH15] Cardiovascular disease: identifying and supporting people most at risk of dying early (September 2008) covers therisk of early death from heart disease and other smoking-related illnesses.
The Blackpool CCG: CVD primary care intelligence pack uses GP practice data on prevention, detection and management across a range of cardiovascular conditions. It provides a narrative that explains the case for prevention and suggests actions, shows variation between local practices and between demographically similar clinical commissioning group (CCG) areas and identifies the number of undiagnosed and inadequately treated people in the local area.
Risk factors for CVD include:
being overweight or obese
Many of the above risk factors are linked. This means that if you have one risk factor, you're more likely to have others.3

I definitely agree with you that there is a PTSD factor from the last 5 years or so that's why I've been trying to be as open minded about this season as possible knowing it's a new staff and they're trying to build a whole new culture

Oh I totally agree it's frustrating and needs to improve but I also see loads of improvement in this team from the last few as well. For example these road games we're walking into while we are beating ourselves and it's super frustrating, we are still giving ourselves a chance to win even while playing terrible if we can just clean it up a little bit when we go on the road we could grab some really nice wins
I feel like there can be a happy medium with fans wanting us to get back to playing like a powerhouse program and also not being constantly negative. Way I see it is this season is all about breaking the ice with the tournament, winning 20 games, and building momentum moving forward as we continue to bring in talented players. This team as constructed was never going to be a powerhouse this season but I do think it's a team that can win 20 or so games and get into the tournament without sweating it out on selection sunday. Last night was a bad result and our other road losses were bad but it just seems like when we lose it's complete armageddon.
After a tough loss I usually just try to distract myself with a tv show. Started the new season of The Righteous Gemstones last night great show.
Wasn't trying to aim at people on this board I know it looked like that. Mainly just from people on Twitter being constantly miserable about the team even after wins
@Stuhoo Thank you! My post was more stemming from fans on Twitter than anything else so I thought I'd come here for some iubb conversation! Sometimes it seems like IU fans just don't enjoy themselves at all during the season even during wins. IU basketball has been a huge part of my life and it has always been my favorite thing/hobby and I just think as fans we should enjoy it a bit more. Obviously performances like last night are not acceptable but I get a feel with Woody and these guys that I just trust them to get it together make the necessary changes. Looking forward to more iubb talk!
IU_FanClub posted a topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Obviously it's no secret that IU fans are about as passionate as it gets. My question is why do we as a fanbase have to lose our heads and act like the season is over after every loss? Did we play well last night? No of course not. Do we have issues on the road? Definitely. But we're 12-4 and the issues are clearly fixable. Why can't we just enjoy the ups and downs of the season and ride with the team instead of questioning the very existence of the program after every bad game? This team is very close to being very good and for as bad as we've played in some of these road games we've had chances to win every single one of them. It's completely reasonable to think they can fix some of the issues and get some real momentum going here. We got a big week ahead of us let's enjoy the season Go Hoosiers!

Chronic alcohol exposure leads to brain adaptations that shift behavior control away from an area of the brain involved in complex decision-making and toward a region associated with habit formation, according to a new study conducted in mice by scientists at the National Institutes of Health.
The educational program of EAPA's 2013 World EAP Conference is now co-sponsored by the Arizona Psychological Association (AzPA). AzPA is approved by the American Psychological Association to sponsor continuing education for psychologists. As a result, psychologists attending the Conference will be eligible to earn up to 30.25 category 1 credit hours, in addition to PDHs from the Employee Assistance Certification Commission (EACC). Counselors/therapists needing CE credits from NASW, NAADAC, NBCC and the CA Board of Behavioral Sciences can also earn CE credits toward their licenses and certifications simultaneously while earning PDHs.
Employers have been increasing their focus on aligning employee benefits globally. While some benefits lend themselves to global alignment, difficulties can arise for employers in the delivery of these benefits. "There are certain benefits or programs that are better suited [to go global], such as an employee assistance program or a health risk assessment program," said Justin Crossland, senior consultant in Towers Watson's international consulting group.
Employee assistance and HR professionals are often called in to assist when interpersonal issues affect the productivity of a workgroup. Every day, work teams create environments that are either cohesive or adversarial. On Wednesday, Oct. 16, Anna Maravelas will present a pre-conference training course at EAPA's 2013 World EAP Conference to provide the tools EA professionals need to address anger and tension and to de-escalate conflict in the workplace. Her course last year was the most popular of the pre-conference trainings. These proven strategies have been featured in publications including HR Magazine, Harvard Management Update and Oprah Magazine.
Once you master the skill of riding a bike, you will always be able to ride a bike, or so the theory goes. But counselors would be mistaken if they apply that same logic to multicultural competence, says Michael Brooks, president of the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development, a division of the American Counseling Association. Instead, he says, remaining multiculturally competent requires constant work, study and development as counselors move through their careers.
Suicide has grown to epidemic proportions among U.S. veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Pentagon and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs are hoping that social media and big data can help them identify at-risk veterans and get them the care they need. Identifying people who are at risk of committing suicide is a tricky thing. Often, the people who are the most in need of help are the least likely to seek it.
About 18 percent of the population in Qatar suffer from depression and a large number of such cases are associated with work-related stress. Working people, especially those aged between 20 and 34 are at higher risk for depression, according to Dr. Suhaila Ghuloum, Senior Consultant Psychiatrist at Hamad Medical Corporation. Shame and the fear of stigma and dismissal prevent many people with depression from seeking help, and the majority of those with depression try to mask their mental health difficulties to avoid workplace discrimination.
Implementing a successful wellness program starts with awareness, but with time and experience, employers "are expanding their program beyond health risks to address the whole person — behavioral psychology, physical health, social well-being and career well-being," explains Gina Payne, national director of wellness at CBIZ Employee Services.
A new study finds that depression may be far more common in men than previously estimated. Women traditionally have been diagnosed with depression about twice as often as men, with about 20 percent of women becoming depressed at some point in their lives. In the past decade, however, some researchers have suggested that they simply weren't asking the right questions when talking to men.
Younger workers are more likely to fall into unhealthy habits at work while older workers are most prone to health problems resulting from work-related stress, research has found. Despite these statistics, older workers seemed less likely to have access to healthy living benefits or initiatives from their employer.
The term mood stabilizer first originated with the use of lithium salts when it was discovered they could assist with alleviating mania. Since the introduction of lithium to the United States in 1969, other drugs have been approved and released into the market as mood stabilizers. Along with lithium, other mood stabilizers such as lamotrigine, carbamazepine, valproate and atypical antipsychotics such as olanzapine and aripiprazole have been approved for the prevention of mania, acute mania treatment and depression associated with bipolar disorder.

Maybe because who the holy spirit is is confusing. The son is said to be wisdom and the holy spirit love. Yet the father creates both and the spirit is the love between the father and son if you accept the filoque. But the spirit is not their child because the relationship is father to son and from there father and son to spirit. It doesn't mirror a human family. Whether the holy spirit is a person was debated in early Christianity with some saying there are just the father and son in God. Every position imaginable on the subject has been proposed and debated by someone in history. The Syrian Christians sometimes call the holy spirit a mother and yet she does not create the son with the father

I like to draw up the comparison between the Christian trinity and the Hinduistic Trimurti. It seems very apparent that the abrahamic religions took much inspiration from vedic tradition - increasingly so with the catholic new testament, stemming from a time where Greece and India had already firmly established their relations - both in terms of trade and exchanging knowledge.
The Trimurti then, is actually pretty straight forward about it's meaning: The three deities represent the three aspects of cosmic existence.
Brahman the Creator
Vishnu the Maintainer
Shiva the Destroyer
The Father as Brahman being the Creator is obvious.
The other two, we may have to elaborate a bit.
The word that is used for the Holy Spirit in greek is "Pneuma" which can be translated to "breath". Same goes for the latin word "spiritus" which lend it's name to the holy spirit. Pneuma for the stoics was essentially the force that drove life - "the breath of life" - air being believed to be the primal element from where everything else originated. This is also in alignment with hinduistic tradition, where control, monitoring and training of breath makes up an essential part of yogic practice. The act of breathing in itself could be said to be considered divine. Ultimately, we can equate the Holy Spirit to Vishnu - whose very role, like breath, is to maintain life.
Last but not least Shiva. In order to understand Shiva as the son, we must first understand what "destruction" signifies in Hinduism. The Hindus believe that everything is one great cosmic cycle - and Shiva, more than the idea of annihilation itself, represents the end of a cycle but also the beginning of a new one. Does that sound familiar in any way? It is the concept of rebirth that has been so prominently captured with the biblical son Jesus. The relation from father to son is one of succesion - the Father creates the world but finally relinquishes it to his son. The son in turn ushers in a new age, essentially creating the cycle of creation, life and death anew.

Thanks to @Gregory & @Hermeticus for their comments.
Much of the debate around Jesus (the Son) and God (the father) revolves around existence (did Jesus really exist and does God exist?). No such quarrel in re the Holy Spirit!
So, does the Holy Spirit exist/no? After all, the impression I get is that that's a cut-and-dried matter, an open-and-shut case as it were.

Well, the Holy Spirit is supposed to be God according to those who accept the Trinity. So, if God doesn't exist, the Holy Spirit doesn't exist; if God exists, the Holy Spirit does as well. The Holy Spirit is one of the three Persons which make up the One God--three Persons, who nonetheless are consubstantial, one in Being.
Much time and effort have been spent trying to explain the Trinity. Too much.
The Holy Spirit has functions, or primary functions, or is its own "mode" (I think that's the term), According to the Nicene Creed (as represented by the Catholic Credo), the Holy Spirit is "the Lord and Giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son" and spoke through the Prophets. Here's some Latin for you:
Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem:
qui ex Patre Filioque procedit.
Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur:
qui locutus est per prophetas.
The Holy Spirit is, if you will, the Chatty Person of the One God, or at least evokes or inspires chattiness, speaking through the Prophets, getting all the apostles to run out and start speaking in tongues on Pentacost. But, it's also called the Paraclete--an advisor, advocate or counselor. So, I like to think of him as the Lawyer Person of the One God. A Deity made up of the Father, the Son and the Holy Lawyer.
The Father = (Master)Mind
Holy Spirit = Speech (breath)
The Son = Body (Physical manifestation)

Actually, if you remember, I did write a thread on the Holy Spirit really, because you wrote on it. The thread was about the idea of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which is considered to be the unpardonable sin according to the Gospels. I spoke of how I got into a bad state worrying about the passage in the Bible when I was 13. A few years later, I was relieved to read that both Jung and Kierkergaard had worried over what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit meant.
When I tried to think at some point when I was still going to church about the Trinity, the conclusion which I came to was as follows: God the father is the source, and the son, Christ, is the embodiment, with the Holy Spirit as being the force through which this is mediated, especially in the embodiment as Christ. The view which I came to about blasphemy against the Holy Spirit was the general attitude of hatred of good or love and compassion represented by Christ .
Nowadays, I do also think that other teachers, especially the Buddha come from a similar starting point. Rudolf Steiner also speaks of Christ consciousness, which seems related to the idea of the Holy Spirit. I am not sure how the idea of the Holy Spirit stands in relation to materialism. Also, it is questionable whether God the father is male, as it would make more sense to see God as androgynous, and beyond gender.

Magnifique! A sensible answer/post/reply.

Sorry, slipped my mind.
The Holy Spirit = The Force (Star wars)
Unitarians believe there is 1 god, 1 person, period. Simplify, simplify, simplify.
Michael Servetus, b. 1509, was an early proponent of unitarianism. He was condemned by the Catholic Church as a heretic in France. He fled to Switzerland and was burned at the stake by the Calvinists, another bunch of heretics.
These days it is quite safe to be a unitarian, and eminently sensible.

I'm reading this book on philosophy.
I was under the (false) impression that Chrstianity owed much of what it is, doctrinally speaking, to sound, well-crafted argumentation.
Alas, to my disappointment, this isn't true; no, not by a long shot.
I distinctly remember 3 Councils were held: one at Nicaea, one in Carthage, the other in Ephesus. Christian tenets/creeds, as it turns out, were set down with bribes, threats, violence, basically and mostly devious methods. So much for Christianity! I'm sure the same goes for other religions as well.
It's pointless to argue when no argument was made to begin with.
Christ was just hanging around on Earth playing the radio of God. God is the DJ, the Holy Spirit His radio waves, and God the receiver and loudspeaker.
"Everybody, tune in to the morning show! Life from heaven, God Himself, voiced by the upcoming talent JC! Second time around, ain't you JC?" "Yaman! Mama was f$#$%d twice!"

An uninformed person might think that. Christianity came together out of a melange of wildly varying beliefs. There were periodic efforts to rationalize the whole shooting match, and some of the efforts were, maybe, well-crafted argumentation.
"Out of the crooked timber of humanity, no straight thing was ever made" said Kant.
I'm uninformed of many, many things. What I've learned is this: learning the truth is hard work (find a good resource, reading it, analyzing what you've read, recalling the analysis, is pretty tough I'd say) and that's one reason why people are so uninformed these days.
Information is expensive, literally and figuratively.
These days it is quite safe to be a unitarian, and eminently sensible. — Bitter Crank
I've thought about attending a unitarian meeting, or whatever they call the equivalent of a mass. But from what I read, it's too similar to a mass. Readings and singing, though the readings and songs are different, of course. I hate it when people sing and it's expected you should sing with them, with some exceptions. Perhaps a Quaker meeting would be best, as it seems nobody says, or sings, anything, unless they want to "testify" I think it is the word. I could always leave when someone decides to speak. Who knows? Maybe they would say something worth hearing.
It's pointless to argue when no argument was made to begin with. — Agent Smith
If you're looking for something resembling argument, I'm sure you could find some supporting the Trinity.
You could try Augustine's De Trinitate, but there are other works as well. Google "Triune God" and you'll find a bunch of stuff about it. I once listened to a priest compare the Trinity to a ham sandwich. I don't think he ever published his insight, though.
Christians have always had much to try to explain about their religion, Christianity being a curious hodgepodge of religions and cults which sometimes fit together only very awkwardly.
What's the difference between a unitarian and a catholic? Brings the catholic three times as much disaster? I can't quite spot the difference, apart from the trinity which is basically a split personality. Of the same one god.
"The concept of ethical monotheism, which holds that morality stems from God alone and that its laws are unchanging, first occurred in Judaism, but is now a core tenet of most modern monotheistic religions, including Zoroastrianism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, and Bahá'í Faith."
Is all monotheism to be traced back to the replacement of the old Greek gods by one? It seems monotheism is a western concept as is the concept of a one and only true reality.

I don't think unitarians have any doctrine, nor do they support any particular version of a deity. They seem more in the way of deists. But I'm uncertain.

What a shame. Just when he was about to crack the problem - the way to a man's heart is through his stomach! :lol:
Ain't the belief in one god a doctrine? Like the belief in one physical reality in science? I don't think doctrines have an inherent value. A ham sandwich though...
In addition to thinking of God as 1 person (no trinity), Unitarians also believe in universal salvation. I'm not quite sure how that works out, but it sounds like a generous approach. My guess is that they do not buy the idea of original sin, and a batch of other ideas found in Christianity (virgin birth resurrection, etc).
The idea had a role in Judaism long before the Christians emerged. The Shekhinah are places where one can dwell and the Unnamable One is said to do/have done that in some places us mortals can/could encounter.
I don't like my link but it was the only one I could find that crossed the many different ways it was adopted.

I was brought up Catholic, and associate "doctrine" with its endlessly complicated beliefs and rules. The doctrine involving God as Ham Sandwich is only one of many devised by it over nearly 2,000 years.

We can only pray that his idea will serve to inspire someone to finish his work of interpretation and explanation.
IIRC, even before my apostasy :halo: I had interpreted the Catholic doctrine of the "Holy Trinity" as
1. the sacred ("Father")
2. the sacrificed ("Son")
3. the sacraments ("Holy Spirit") — 90 Proof
Wow! :clap:

The Holy Spirit/Ghost is a person. What is a person?
That's quite good.

Table Rock Mtn (SC)
Route: Table Rock Mtn (SC)
South Carolina, US
Not to be confused with the mountain of the same name in North Carolina!
The ascent of the red blazed Table Rock Trail from the Nature Center has a Strava segement. Note: Most people continue beyond the summit to a viewpoint, but the FKT route ends at the true summit. Description: The red blazed, 3.6-mile Table Rock Trail is a very rugged hike within the scenic and popular Table Rock State Park in the northwest corner of South Carolina. There are over 12 miles of trails in the park, but only the Table Rock National Recreation Trail ascends 2,000 feet to the summit of the imposing granite dome, Table Rock Mountain (3,124 feet). The hike begins at the Nature Center and ascends steeply through an open forest strewn with boulders. Along the way, you will see vegetation typical of the Southern Appalachians: dominant oak and hickory trees with scattered pines and hemlock. As you might guess, the strenuous hike offers the reward of spectacular views from the higher rock outcrops.
The descent of the Table Rock Trail also has a Strava segment.

Indianapolis visits Chiefs seeking playoff berth
By DAVE SKRETTA
(KANSAS CITY, Mo., AP) — The Indianapolis Colts of a year ago were in no better shape than the Kansas City Chiefs of this season. Their offense couldn't score, their defense couldn't stop anybody, and they had just one win when mid-December rolled around.
At least Kansas City has two wins to show for its season of discontent.
But when the Chiefs gaze across the field Sunday, they'll see a franchise that has made one of the league's surprising turnarounds. The Colts will be out to secure a playoff berth that few expected, and in doing so, give the Chiefs a reason to believe better days are still ahead.
"I knew coming into the locker room, it was a confident bunch of guys and a talented bunch of guys, so I don't think anybody worried about what happened last year," said Andrew Luck, the quarterback the Colts managed to draft first overall as a result of their 2-14 finish.
"We were just focused on getting better," Luck said, "and thankfully we've won some games and hopefully put ourselves in a spot to win some more."
The Colts (9-5) blew their first shot at clinching a playoff berth last Sunday, when they lost to Houston. But they can still get in with a win over the Chiefs (2-12) or in their season-finale against the Texans, or if the Steelers lose one of their two remaining games.
Pittsburgh plays Cincinnati on Sunday before finishing up against lowly Cleveland.
"I believe this game will determine if they go to the playoffs or not," Chiefs safety Eric Berry said, "so I'm expecting everything from them."
Expectations have certainly risen in Indianapolis since last season.
The reclamation began when the Colts released the injured, 35-year-old Peyton Manning in March and decided to draft Luck over Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III. New general manager Ryan Grigson then cut defensive captains Gary Brackett and Melvin Bullitt, running back Joseph Addai and tight end Dallas Clark to free up space under the salary cap.
Veteran center Jeff Saturday and wide receiver Pierre Garcon walked in free agency, and Grigson filled the holes through savvy draft decisions and with cost-effective veterans.
"The young players came in and listened to our veteran leadership," said interim coach Bruce Arians, who has filled in admirably while Chuck Pagano undergoes treatment for leukemia.
"We have some veterans who have won a lot of ballgames here," Arians said, "and they did a great job of grabbing those guys and telling them how important they would be to win."
That was never more evident than last Sunday.
Luck threw for 186 yards and two TDs without an interception. Tight ends Colby Fleener and Dwayne Allen, drafted in the second and third rounds, combined to make four catches for 57 yards and had one of the scores. T.Y. Hilton, another third-round choice, had three catches for 78 yards and the other touchdown, and fifth-round pick Vick Ballard ran for 105 yards.
Granted, it all came in a losing effort, but it also demonstrates how much the Colts are relying on rookies to return the franchise to its winning ways.
"Last week, I think rookies account or 82 percent of our offense," Arians said. "They've gotten so many snaps, now we don't even consider them rookies."
The Chiefs are in a similar situation as the Colts were heading into this offseason.
They're neck-and-neck with Jacksonville for the first overall draft choice, and it's widely expected that they'll spend it on a quarterback after getting inconsistent — at times downright lousy — play out of Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn this season.
There's no Luck, of course. But guys such as Geno Smith of West Virginia and Matt Barkley of Southern Cal could give Kansas City a similar young talent around which they could retool one of the league's worst offenses.
The Chiefs haven't drafted a quarterback in the first round since 1983.
Then there's the question of who will make that choice.
The Colts fired vice chairman Bill Polian and his son, Chris, the Colts' general manager, during a purge in January. A couple weeks later, coach Jim Caldwell was shown the door.
Kansas City fans have been pining for similar moves all season.
There was a "black out" during a game at Cincinnati intended to mourn the lost season and send a message of change to ownership, and some fans have pooled their money to hire airplanes towing banners asking for general manager Scott Pioli to be fired prior to home games.
"Losing has been frustrating, however you lose," said Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel, whose job also appears to be on the line. "It doesn't make a difference how you lose, if it's the offense, the defense, special teams. When you lose, it's frustrating."
The Colts lost three of their first five games, but rattled off four straight wins as the rookies got their feet under them. They followed up a loss with three more wins, and now have a chance to atone for last Sunday's disappointment.
"We need to get in the playoffs. That's all we're thinking about is getting there," Arians said. "We're not there yet. We're going to have to beat a good team on the road."
