Luck vs Romo

[Fastphilly]

All I know is Luck is a rookie and has his less talented team in the playoffs and Romo threw yet another INT in crunch time that ended Dallas' season.

You don't think the Colts weak schedule had something to do with them getting in the playoffs?

They were the worst team last year so they are scheduled to pair against the cellar dwellars of last year in each division in the AFC this year (KC and Cleveland) and had to play the four teams in the AFC East which has been a weak division this year (except NE) which by the way destroyed them. Add on four games against the Jags and Titans and you can see why they conjured enough wins to make it in the playoffs.

I can't see the correlation between comparing a #1 overall pick to a undrafted free agent that has had poor coaching and a team decimated by injury.

Bingo!! Luck's INT to TD ratio is putrid. That will come back to haunt him when he faces teams that can cash in on turnovers. Still it's been a good story in Indy this season without a doubt.

The kid has been clutch at crunch time and has already set a reputation for come from behind victories. He has had to carry that franchise this year.

The weaker schedule helped I am sure.

The coach getting sick helped, too. IMO, it provided a bit of motivation. Sorta the way Jerry Brown's death provided a spark in Cincy for the 'boys. Or how the Giants have used their Rodney Dangerfield act in the past.

Yep it is a good story. I hate the Colts though living in Indy for school the last 4 years.

He will be a good QB for sure, but I doubt they go anywhere this year. Real teams will eat them up.

Real teams? They beat GB, Minn, Det, and Houston, and lost to Chicago first game of the season, and played NE. That's not a cake schedule.

That's three playoff teams they beat; how many playoff teams did we beat? And it's not like the NFC East was a juggernaut...only one playoff team this year.

I don't care one bit about any of that. I care about results, not excuses. I care about making the playoffs and having a chance to win a Super Bowl, not the lame excuses about why another team is there and Dallas is not.
