I didn't know Manning played every position for the Colts?

I think they are throwing their games too. They knew that Painter sucked, and that Manning would be out in a short period of time. So they decide to cheat their way to Luck. There is no way that losing your franchise QB would make you THAT terrible. Don't get me wrong, Manning played a huge part in their game, but in no way should that effect their defense and o-line. I mean, how does one lost to Jacksonville 17-3, especially a team with a Superbowl under their belt.

My lord, can they get more obvious???

Many people have said that the Colts have great receivers. However, as we can see this year, we now realize that Peyton Manning was the only thing that was keeping them good. Peyton Manning's passes are often perfect, and if it weren't for that, his wide-receivers would be awful. Also, transitioning from having the best quarterback to an awful quarterback is hard. Their receivers had been used to always getting perfect passes, whereas now, the passes coming to them are awful.

I know right! So sick of all this Manning for MVP crap...that defense is horrible and guys lick Garcon are plented talented with a decent QB. Look at what that Orlensky did today...and I'm not sure that guy has ever won lol!

Let me ask you a question Professor.....if you were making millions of dollars for playing a game you loved and you understood that the average career span of an NFL Player is less than 4 years......would you throw a game ?......don't be so ridiculous

I didn't know the Colts were still playing?..

Peyton is 2nd in NFL history of 4th quarter comebacks for a reason..............the colts defense has always sucked

Missing an elite qb will do this. Defense stays on the field more if your offense cannot move the chains.

How stupid.
