I wasn't expecting the colts d to be so bad. I couldn't even finish the game.

How did luck find a way to lose? He drove them down the field with less than 4 min to give them the go ahead touchdown. He did everything he could except play corner for his team to win. Just because luck doesn't play with Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas he's somehow finding a way for his team to lose :camby:

What did Luck do in the first half?

This is a Kobe Stan type argument. The colts put up over 30 and lost. Luck three for 385 yards with 4 touchdowns and no turnovers and have his team the lead with 37 seconds left. The colts defense gave up 37 points, and lost the game for the offense in under 40 seconds. Call me crazy, but they probably deserve some blame for this loss.

The Chiefs don't need Jamaal Charles as badly as we thought they did, although they probably still need him.
Learned that last year. For all the fantasy stats he puts up he's a turnover machine and will make you break your tv fumbling in the 4th quarter.

Luck frequently plays catchup in the second half after not doing much in the first half and it's not always going to work.

So he should go play corner or linebacker? He gave them almost 400 yards, 4 scores, no turnovers, and the lead with 37 seconds left. If the defense can't play their part for 37 seconds, then it's on them. I suppose the colts 2007, 2008, and 2010 playoff losses where the defense gave up the lead in the final minute when Peyton left the field with a lead are on him too right? I mean that's the argument you're making.

Cleveland will easily have the worst defense in the league this year.

Wentz looks like a real deal talent. Think Bortles. However, he's still going to struggle this year when they face real defenses I think. Not enough talent around him yet.

Dak looked solid. However, the Cowboys gotta turn him loose. Let him scramble, take more chances throwing over the middle.

Bucs looked really good on offense. Gotta see how that carries over to when they are playing good defenses over the next month.

Agree with @hyperman25 based on this week I saw no team that should put fear in Carolina. Don't get me wrong. The Seattle's, Green Bay's and Arizona's will still look tough, but I still see Carolina as the favorite to get back to the Super Bowl.
