This Luck guy....is pretty good.

[StewieG]

He and the offense started out pretty sloppy, but man he played absolutely great in that 2nd quarter. The guy is a rookie but he plays like a 3 year guy.

Hes gonna be pretty good, I think we can all agree.

[Smonroe]

Eh, he's no Jeff George.

Thank God.

[WSO]

I liked that he came back strong after the pick 6.

Me too. If Brazil didn't juggle that pass that got picked off that could have been a touchdown.

[deedub75]

I am glad he struggled early against a great defense. I think he grew up in that first half.

Wasn't that Hilton who juggled that pass?

[Jules]

Hines Ward singing Luck's praises right now.

*giddy*

[StewieG]

Actually I think you are right. Got mixed up lol. But if he caught that in his chest that could have been a TD. I love the speed our receivers have.

[Smonroe]

Wasn't that Hilton who juggled that pass?

Yep. He had the whole field in front of him. TD for sure.

[Balzer40]

Yes.

[Vance]

Yeah but....Harrison wasn't there...neither was Wallace. And honestly, Steeler D isn't as good as it once was. And you know, well....it's.

We're gonna need a better defense

[ruksak]

Is it just me or did Luck seem noticeably uneasy at first? I mean he looked soooo awkward.

It looked to be very good for him, the issues he had early. That kid is legit. 100% legit.

[Drew1023]

i'd say he's alright, leading the Colts to a comeback lead at halftime against the Steelers defense. I suppose that's pretty good without even mentioning what he did against the Rams in game 1.

You were doing so good at first and then you sorta fell off....lol

It's gonna be on again this year between our clubs, aye?

Don't be jealous!

I'm actually pretty happy he threw the pick 6. Needed to happen eventually so I'm happy it did during pre-season. He'll watch that play a thousand times. And we all now know how he bounces back from dodgy starts. His first few plays were all bad, not just the pick 6, but my word did he pick himself up.

[Ohio Colt]

sliced up the Steelers D in Pittsburgh.

[Coltsman1788]

Luck has a moxy about him that is beyond his years. Loved how he didn't get frazzled by the pick six but fought through it. No sour face just focus.

[coltsfanatic24]

the interceptions doesn't concern me he's a rookie but what impressed me the most is how quickly he forgot about and drove 80 yards on the steerlers 1st team defense. luck looked very poised in the pocket even when the pressure was near him. the hilton bobbled pass was exactly what luck needed because everything in the nfl won't go your way ad you have to have amnesia about those things and he did.

How is it that Wayne is involved in a lot of pick six plays ? Maybe he does not separate as well like he used to??? Not dogging Wayne because Luck should not have thrown the ball and gone to another read or thrown it away.

However Wayne's lack of separation vs good No.1 CBs does bother me.

I thought the same but perhaps our QBs often try too hard to get it to Wayne when they need something to happen in a tough spot.

Maybe he has a little bit of Jim Harbaugh in him too from being coached by him. If thats the case there is a lot of determination and fight in this kid that will serve him well this season and beyond.

Agreed! I actually mentioned to my sister during the game that he has some Harbaugh in him. And that was exactly what I meat. Great minds!

[WSO]

I didn't like the two missed calls though...when the LB was all over Wayne when he was running across the middle and another play when I think it was Hilton who was basically dragged to the ground. That could have been a 3rd pick. Missed calls like these in the real games could be detrimental.

Those refs last night were beyond horrible. They missed so many calls on both sides.

[JustAColtsFan]

He is just plain TOUGH!!! To have a pick 6, get sacked and come right back with 3 scoring drives(should have been 4) is the most impressive thing I have seen yet. You just can't rattle him GREAT THINGS TO COME COLTS FANS!!!

[kansascolt]

Me personally was hoping he would throw an INT (prob could have done without the pick 6). I just wanted to see how he would respond to it. Couldn't have asked for a better response. I think we have a winner.

[TKnight24]

He had a flashback to this Pick when Ike Taylor took that to the House

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkclXUyOfSo

Then turned around and lead an 80 yard drive also after this pick. Gotta love the Kid

I'm amazed at how he's so much in control..

he missed a lot of time in the pre-pre-sreason with his studies....

..and he controls the game like Peyton.....only he has mobilitty...

The only thing he needs is experince against all our division opponents and we'll be scoirng 30 a game

I am going to direct this reply specifically to NewColtsFan. I finally saw exactly what I wanted to see real adversity on the field vs a stellar defense last night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ask and I too shall receive: 2 interceptions, a sack, a comeback from a point deficit, selective amnesia, and Andrew Luck was calm, cool, and collected in the pocket last night. Grade A+.

We ran the ball well, our o-line actually gave Luck more time to survey the field as opposed to the Rams game, Jerry Hughes continued to tackle and make his presence known on the field, and our ground game was eating up significant chucks of yards and scoring touchdowns. I wasn't happy about the blocked punt or interceptions, but the silver lining in all of this adversity is that our squad didn't panic or play scared.

I know that I give owner Jim Irsay some grief sometimes over the initial release of Manning, but I have to give credit where credit is due. It took a ton of courage to go in a completely different direction with a new QB, a new coaching staff, and a whole new scheme and Mr. Irsay deserves to toot his horn as a result of it. If you can survive a baptism by fire courtesy of a Dick Lebeau defense, your team in it's new configuration has officially arrived. Heck, I am even willing to increase my projected Colts record to 7-9.

I was very impressed Ryan Grigson, Chuck Pagano, and Co.

JAC..He threw the interceoptin and he laughe dit off.

he literally laughed it oiff..

If he (and the 1st string) plays 4 quarters..we'd have scored 40 points
