In one of the biggest surprises of the NFL season, rookie quarterback Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts are 4-3 and in second place in the AFC South standings. With Luck under center, the upstart Colts have already won twice as many games as they did in 2011 and if the NFL postseason started today, the Colts would be in. Unfortunately for the Colts it may take more than just Luck for the team to make the playoffs in 2012.
For starters take a look at Luck’s overall performance so far. In four of the Colts first seven games, Luck has had a passer rating of less than 80. Three of the four resulted in losses, the one exception coming in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns.… Read more

Dolphins like Tannehill more than Colts' Luck
DAVIE, Fla. -- The "Suck for Luck" campaign was in full force a year ago. The Miami Dolphins were 0-7 and in position to land Andrew Luck with the top pick in the NFL draft.
It didn't happen. The Dolphins suddenly turned matters around and finished 6-10. Indianapolis ended up with the highly touted quarterback.
But the Dolphins have come out OK. They managed to get...

There has been no more disappointing area for the Colts offense over the past six years than its inability to rush the football. For some time the ground game was defended as efficient in short-yardage and as a "change of pace" from the Peyton Manning-led passing attack, dismissing its effectiveness as a true offensive weapon -- because it wasn't.
