Yeah and I heard someone say the other day on the radio that our OL isn't actually that bad. I have no idea what they were talking about, they're absolutely horrendous. I don't know what Peyton would do in this situation, he might get killed.

We would be hosting his funeral this week. Luck being mobile has helped a bunch... but that won't be enough to save us.

I am tired of Luck and his interceptions, blame it on him being a rookie or a poor o-line or whatever you want but he is horrible. I'm not ready to give up on him yet but I just hope he isn't as terrible next year.

Will you even be a Colts fan next year?

It's better than what Manning had over the final couple of years.

I think it's scheme more than the players. They scheme asks the lineman to do to much, and when they can't, they break down, the QB gets hit, forces throws, etc. It all filters back to the scheme in my opinion. A better scheme, quicker/shorter routes with a shot deep here and there, and the OL will look much better than it is.

Manning in this scheme would have some of the same issues. He would be more decisive with the ball but would have some of the same issues of getting hit, having to move around int he pocket. Manning with this OL in his previous scheme would be like Manning over the past 5 years.

The scheme Arirans insists on running is why Ben got hit so much in Pittsburgh and why Luck will continue to get hit here.

Why do you always have to bring up PEYTON not needed this is the Colts and Luck is our QB. Peyton post should be in the NFL section............Nuff Said

I don't. But good lord you guys act like he walked on water and didn't struggle. He was our QB before Luck and everyone on here is so enamored by him and expect Luck to win 87 superbowls in his rookie year. Anyone making judgements on a stellar rookie qb this early in his career need to chill out. NUFF SAID.

I guess a lot of people said the same thing about Peyton Manning in his rookies season 26 TD - 28 INT. Let's get serious! I know everything is dreaming of the play offs but this team played better than expected so far. It's a rebuilding team regardless what the Colts say to sell tickets. It's a team with a lot of rookies under a rookie qb. A Team that lost a lot of veterans and playing with a lot of second, third string players that come to Indy to fill in as starters.

The more I see each game I can't help but share some of your concerns with our scheme, winning record or not. He's too valuable to put in the firing line constantly.

While i don't think peyton is pertinent when discussing Andrew Lucks struggles, i think it's comical how everyone reacts when someone mentions Peyton. It reminds me of the scene in Lion King when Zazuu (the bird character),while in the presence of Scar, mentions Mufasas name under his breath.Scar goes berserk and threatens Zazuu. You guys act like Scar. Lol

      J. Taylor Contract

      I doubt Irsay has ever said Indy is not a top destination location for free agents. I searched it. In fact, a story in the Star indicated the exact opposite. The media was giving attention to the fact that CB was sitting on cash and not signing free agents. Irsay said this, “You know when free agency hit, we had the lines in the water on several other guys and we didn’t get them. We could’ve got them, but Chris is very disciplined in his belief on how you build a team and it was great to see him stick by his discipline.”   This is when Irsay would have said “Ya know, free agents don’t like Indianapolis or the people or the color blue or horseshoes.” Instead, he says “We could’ve got them.” Money was the only factor.    Honestly, you think Irsay would say Indy is not a top destination for free agents and not say why or no one would ask him to elaborate? No harm no foul, you just remembered this wrong. I’m out.

      One bad game shouldn't change the starter...   With the rookie, it might not be this bad in any game. But, going with rookie probably wouldn't win a game. At least with Dobbs, he could win when he's not turning over the ball.

      Taylor could miss time

      Looking at our roster https://www.colts.com/team/players-roster/ Now, with JT out... The only remaining RBs on the team are Moss and Sermon.  Maybe they elevate Zavier Scott from the practice squad?

      There was a time earlier this year that you believed being neutral was a waste of bandwidth and no good for discussion… what changed?

      2 players Who Are Strangely being Underutilized

      By richard pallo · Posted

      For me the issue is Cross can not beat out Thomas for the FS spot.  We really don’t know if they have tried him at FS spot or not.  But considering Thomas’s play I would bet they have.  The fact they are the same age makes it even more worrisome.  We traded up to draft Cross and here he is still playing primarily special teams.  It goes to show you where you are drafted does not guarantee you success.  Zaire can attest to that.  Maybe next year he makes his move for the FS spot.  And there is still time this year too for that matter.  We’ll see I guess.
