You put the ball in T-Rich's hands with the game on the line, you deserve to lose in painful fashion.

I'm still waiting for the future elite QB to show up. I mean, he has the tools this year, it's time to make the jump.
Especially confounding off two fumbles in this game. Really bizarre decisions.
Maybe they get lucky with a stop -- not expecting it -- or win the coin toss, but they deserve to lose this one.
TRich is really mediocre. The Browns were both dumb and smart -- drafting him, but cutting bait.

So Indy is at home with the ball in a tie game and they run the ball twice and play for OT and punt and now they're gonna lose. Really wimpy playcalling.
Colts should have gone for that 4th and 5. Did anyone think this Colts defense had a chance of preventing the Eagles from getting in FG range?
What a joke. You have Andrew Luck on your team, a guy that is pretty damn good at mounting late game drives, and they run it into the line with probably the biggest underperforming back in the league twice, and then punt so their crappy defense can get smoked by Philly into FG range. That could be a fireable offense. If I'm in the front office, I''m going to need a pretty damn good explanation from the coaching staff.
I disagree with this. The Colts and Texans were probably approximately equal strength coming into the year, and they've spotted them 2 games now.SeoulSoxFan said:

That he should have won it and had a 101 QB rating? That pick was BS.

Have you checked out the team surrounding him?
I don't know if it's the surrounding team so much as the coaching/management. They made a visibly terrible decision to invest in Trent Richardson last year, and have doubled down with it this year. That's really cost them so far. But I agree Luck has been far from a problem - he's mostly looks great.Phragle said:
Right I should have said the organization. I tweeted this earlier.bowiac said:

While you're looking at the box score how many times did he draw the defense offsides for a first down?DrewDawg said:
He also holds the record for most passing yards ever in players first two years.DrewDawg said:
The receivers aren't shitty. They're about average.Shelterdog said:
The Colts have won so many close games the last couple years, they were bound to lose a few at some point. In 2012 they went 9-1 in games decided by 7 points or fewer. In 2013 they went 5-1. Now 0-2 to start this year.
The 58% completion percentage is a bit inane - about half of those pass attempts are dragged down by his 54% rookie rate. Being good as a rookie is exceptionally rare - Peyton was at 56% and led the league in interceptions. There are a few mobile QBs who have been good as rookies, but for pocket guys, it's still a rarity.DrewDawg said:
I agree the numbers don't jump off the page, but career rates don't matter much for him.
Luck has actually gone from 54.1% to 60.2% to 63.2% (albeit in a small sample this year).
The concerning number to me is his YPA. 6.98 his rookie year to 6.71 last year to 6.23 through two games this year.
He also cut his interception % from 2.87% his rookie year to 1.58% last year, but is back up at 3.45% through two games this year.
Always interesting to monitor his progression.
