The way they're built, it's all around Manning. Their D is built to just limit the score juuuuust enough so the offense's 21+ points is enough to win. Their running game is just to "keep the D honest".

When did the NFL go to a 15 game schedule? :p

I agree with the rest of your post though. The roster is built around Manning. No Manning = the Colts will look a lot different. If SS is right and this is the end of Manning's career there's no shame in walking away now. He's had an epic career, he's got a ring, he's a surefire first ballot HOFer, I mean there's nothing left to prove for him. Sure he won't beat Favre's records but that doesn't mean anything. And yes, the Colts do deserve a lot of flack for never preparing for life without Manning. They put all their money on him, and it's quite possible they'll get burned.

3-13, I mean. lol

They'll get the Luck bailout...unless their remaining studs like Freeney, Wayne, Clark, and Mathis refuse to comply with that plan.

They do have talent at other positions, but Curtis Painter or a fresh off the street recently retired Kerry Collins starting for them? If people thought our qb situation was bad, just look at theirs without Manning. And I hope they don't get Luck, but I'd rather see him go to the Colts than an NFC team.

You know what I mean lol. I don't think we'll be in the running for him though, we've have to sacrifice an arm and a leg just to move up. Which I might be okay with, depending on how everything shakes out.

Dallas has a better chance to get Luck than we do. We're just too good.
