In the AFC, Andrew Luck earned AFC Offensive Player of the Month after four pristine weeks of play that saw his Colts maintain their lead atop the AFC South.

Luck hit on 88 of 144 passes for 1,280 yards with 12 touchdowns and just two picks. Despite losingAhmad Bradshaw in the backfield, Luck only grew stronger through the air, throwing for 400, 393 and 370 yards over his past three outings. During those games his touchdown count increased each week with three, four and five scores, respectively. :applause:

Luck is passing for 334.25 yards/game and at that rate is on pace to 5,348 yards.  This would put him 3rd all time for single season passing yards (behind Peyton 5,477 and Brees 5,476 and above Brady's 5,235).

 

He needs to average 366.5 yards/game over the next 4 games to break the single season record. 

 

The first go-round against Tennessee, Luck passed for 393 yards and the first go-round at Houston, he passed for 370 yards. 

Cleveland is 8th in the league and is allowing 227.9 yards/game passing against them, while Dallas is 20th in the league and is allowing 244.5 yards/game passing against them.

 

It will be very tough to pass for over 366.5 yards/game from here on out, but the fact that we've got Houston at home and Dallas away means that we'll have at least 2 games with good weather.  Cleveland is supposed to be in the mid 30's this Sunday and looks like there could be some crappy field conditions if it rains all Saturday with a chance of rain on Sunday -- so it might be difficult to put up a lot of yards against them. 

 

I think for sure, Luck will be able to pass for over 306 yards per game to put him past Brady and move him into 3rd all time for most passing yards in a single season.  He has a chance to go for over 366.5 yards/game to surpass Peyton and Brees, but I think that will be difficult and is probably doubtful at this point.  Sure would be cool to see a 3rd year player break that record, though.

No way he should have gotten it.  We play in the AFC South...GRRRR

 

:sarcasm:

Touche Brent. This ridiculous argument always used to make me mad, but now I simply view it as AFC South competitor jealousy among Tennessee & Jacksonville fans.

 

It's not INDy's fault that they come up short annually. It's lonely at the top of the division mountain for a reason. You've gotta take the crown by force.

      Taking Taylor off the field

      By GoColts8818 · Posted

      The Colts handed Taylor a boat load of money which is unheard for a running back in today’s NFL.  You don’t do that and take him off the field in crucial situations for Trey Sermon and Tyler Goodson.  Shane has done just that in two of the last three games he’s coached.  Not playing maybe your best offensive weapon for a whole fourth quarter is criminal.  Shane is trying to be too cute and over thinking things trying to fool other teams and it’s not working in the slightest.  Play your best players at the most critical points of games.  That’s why you paid them.

      Rushing Defense Woes

      I agree 100 Ballard time is up , him and Bradley. You can preach accountability and retain Bradley another year….Ballard loves to say guys just need to hit the layup… he should take his own advice we all knew we needed help in the secondary this year no moves, we all knew we needed help last year at corner , oline year before. I talking about obvious weaknesses media calls him out on it year after year and he plays it off like he smarter than everyone then admit mistakes at the end of year and does the same thing. Bradley doesn’t make any adjustment like he runs what he runs and that it

      To be honest this is malpractice by Ballard ….. like I know they think us fans are stupid but some of us played sports , coached sports , watched sports etc… we know what we are seeing like everyone knew we needed depth in the second. But Ballard doesn’t bring vets in and makes guys compete for a job he hands them to players he thinks are nice people a deserve a shot. Ala Pinter, NFL is a league where you get what you earn ,you eat what you kill , not what you deserve. Ballard need to take a hard look at him self at look at how other teams that win are built. We need speed at the corner position and a scheme shift. Like no HC under Ballard has been able to pick they DC he normally has one before they get hired and they retain Ballard guy
