First team to 30 wins. I hope it is Dallas but I am scared of this defense against Luck.
Luck makes me nervous also. I think the Cowboys would be wise to use a similar defensive game plan that they used against Wilson and Sanchez. Create that picket fence up front and don't over-pursue on the edges. Luck can hurt you with his feet if he has to.
One thing that is being overlooked about Luck this season is that he is a turnover waiting to happen. The Colts have been the beneficiary of racking up wins in a division full of bottom feeders. They were almost trying to give the game away to the Texans last week. The only "good teams" they've beaten were Baltimore and Cincinnati. And, it took an almost miracle to beat a Cleveland Browns team, by one point, who's QB played one of the worst games of his career. Don't get me wrong, we've lost to some good teams also but we haven't been plastered like the Steelers did to the Colts or the Patriots. Now, if we had to play those teams this season, I'm confident that we would have made a better showing than that. Would we have won? Tough to say but I don't think we would have taken the beating that the Colts did. JMHO.
I respect Luck and his ability but he absolutely has some weaknesses that can be exploited. Our lack of pass rush is concerning but we didn't have much of a pass rush when we beat Seattle either and Wilson is one of the most (if not THE most) elusive QBs in the game. It can be done.
