"Dwight Freeney is a video-game aficionado who enjoys playing titles such as "Call of Duty: Black Ops," "God of War III" and the "Madden NFL" franchise.

So the Indianapolis defensive end didn't need much elaboration when asked during a conference call with Baltimore media Wednesday if he wished he could hit the reset button on the Colts' 0-12 season.

"Absolutely," Freeney said. "Obviously, you don't want to have a season like this. Us especially, we're not used to this at all. We're used to making the playoffs nine years straight and all that and win records and all that. So this is definitely a different feeling."

Indeed, the 2011 season is far from what people inside and outside of the Colts' organization envisioned.

For many years, Indianapolis has been synonymous with success in the NFL. The club has captured seven AFC South titles in the last nine years and capped the 2006 season with a 29-17 victory over the Chicago Bears in the Super Bowl.

In the nine years since the Colts last sat out the postseason, they had compiled a record of 118 wins against just 39 losses (including playoffs).

That's what makes digesting what could be the second winless campaign in franchise history that upsetting. (The 1982 squad went 0-8-1 in a strike-shortened season.)"
