Well it looked like the Colts were going to be blown out didn’t it? Then it looked like they made a miracle comeback didn’t it? In the end, their undoing was the same as it was last season. The Indianapolis Colts simply cannot stop anyone on defense. Right now, all the pressure is on quarterback Andrew Luck’s shoulders and it simply isn’t fair. The first overall pick from the 2012 NFL Draft is probably now realizing why one of the best quarterbacks ever, Peyton Manning, was only able to get one Super Bowl win during his stellar Colts career. Owner Jim Irsay is an embarrassment to the league. The general manager is horrendous. This team needs a purging in the front office or else they risk ruining Luck’s career as he spends week-after-week in an un-winnable shoot out situation.. . . Indianapolis Colts. 23. player. 46

Next: No. 22 Redskins
