The downfall of Luck (still might be a bit premature of a proclamation) is one of the more interesting stories in the NFL right now, for me :)

Only cuz of his hype, and lack thereof for our guy (Romo)

He actually didn't turn the ball over that much in 2015 compared to 2014. The difference was, he had 40 TD's in 2014 and only 15 in 2015 versus 12 int's. Like Kapaernick, he's an example of a guy who seems to have regressed as a QB after having some early success.

Very true, and thanks for expounding on the stats, Draw :)

Just noticed Luck only played 7 games last year. Forgot he was hurt and missed 9 games. So he was on pace to throw around 30 TD's and 24 int's at the rate he was going.

Gore, 32 more yards and he passes Faulk and Jim Brown on the all-time rushing list, up to 9th overall. Go get 'im Frank. Dude deserves it, work horse and class act on and off the field
I can not believe that gore has that many yards in his career. also luck looks very average now compared to two years ago. the contract he signed this past year will haunt the colts in the future especially if the colts continue to play like they have been playing.

Tough to perform when your line can't block and your receivers drop more passes than they haul in. I count at least 4 drops already and we are just out of the first quarter.

Curious their WRs aren't better since they've spent a lot on building a good corps. In fact when they used a high pick on one last year everyone asked why since they already had a deep stable.
I like Luck and all, but he is horribly overrated. hes good and clearly a franchise guy but he isn't in the league of Brady or Rodgers. Luck needs a solid team with a better OL and running game or his career will come and go without a ring kinda like Romos. In fact, despite everyone rating Luck as a top 4 QB, I would actually put him back in Romo's range and probably behind Romo honestly at this moment.

Seems like they have alot of speed at the wr position..guys that are good at getting down field. The problem is they don't have an ol that will let the down field routes develop long enough so Luck is constantly running for his life. Makes it tough..

Bortles playing nice. Rebound game that he needed? We will see, so far so good.

Myles Jack with 4 tackles this game, four more than Jaylon Smith will contribute for us all season.
Just sayin.....

Their OL has been the bane of that team for some time. As you said, Luck just gets destroyed every game it seems

Luck's knee clearly hit the field on that sack. Ref's should've blown the whistle. Review should overturn this.
