His arm was fine last week - it’s obviously not pre-injury velocity but he’s still go a lot of power there - I think this is more the fact that he’s had no recovery time since Sunday and Sunday went to overtime and he had to play 90 snaps of offence - probably fatigue if anything

Not to mention even coming out that arm was merely adequate for NFL standards. Dude had an arm similar to Peyton. Deadly accurate sure, and he could easily make all of the throws. It was literally his one downside as a QB coming out of school. "Downside".

Not to mention.. Andrew Luck like Aaron Rodgers, is literally his entire team so......

I have a feeling the Colts will regret passing on a QB and trading down in this year's draft. I know they had confidence in his arm returning to strength but it just doesn't seem likely. I mean sure, it could end up biting them much like the Chargers letting go of Brees after his injury(though they did have Rivers) and Luck's arm returned to form with another team and he wins them a Super Bowl. But right now, it's hurting them. Luck's arm is still shot.

Have you not been watching? Luck is the primary reason they've been in every game. People call him overrated but he's got absolute garbage around him outside of 2-3 members of his supporting cast. I know we just drafted Lamar, but if Luck were to hit the FA market I would honestly want us to go get him. Fuck me, Luck with this defense would put us into instant dynasty mode, and I know Flacco has been playing well.

I am not saying Luck is bad (hell trading for him in the fantasy league was the best move I made) but his throws look slower for lack of a better word. Before he used to throw it with some zip on it and now his throws look like Peyton Mannings

The amount of ads on this Thursday night game is actually ridiculous - it’s way too many - this 2 minute drill is gonna take weeks

I went and sat on the porch in the sun with a beer after the end of the first drive in the two-minute warning. I checked the clock quite a bit later and was stunned it was still half-time. Games can honestly get so hard to watch, especially when I get the US telecast so it's the same ads for insurance, cars and Viagra every time. Irritating enough on their own but it gets much worse when they have literally zero relevance to you.

If anything I think it shows how incredibly transcendental Peyton was to win a title at all with that dumpster fire of a franchise.

It's why I consider him to be the best QB I've ever seen. Yes, he had two hall of fame WRs, and a pretty good RB, but he has the same problem Luck does right now: no defense. It's no coincidence that the one year the colts had a good defense is the year they won a ring. Sure, Freeney and Mathis were a hell of a pass rush duo, but when you spend the majority of your career with next to no linebacking corps and safeties who are always hurt, and no corners, it's Peyton.

Luck is that talented too, but Luck doesn't have two hall of fame caliber WRs, and does not have two great pass rushers.

If you switched Andrew Luck and Blake Bortles, the Jaguars likely go undefeated and the Colts likely don't win a single game

The Pats doing what the Steelers do best, let teams hang around in the second half. You would think the Pats would have put this game away a while ago but the Colts may have a shot here.

This game actually made me more worried about the Pats because against a real defense or an actual offense they lose that game

I 100% agree with you! Colts front offense depended on peyton too much. Didnt give him the defensive help that they should have. Pats on the other hand, i think i read some where that they were top 5 in scoring defense and top 10 total for every SB ring they have.. for me, arod is the best qb ever but GB just hasnt given him the defense that he needs. Theyre trying now,but last few yrs he have been really injury prone. Much as i hate pats, gotta love their front office and the moves they make to keep that team afloat
