Yeah although that season they didn't tank really. Curtis Painter was our QB and he sucked big time. If Manning/Luck would have been QB, 2-14 would have been .500 at minimum. But yeah they are stepping up and playing as a group.
A lot of credit as to go to GM Grigson. Just some amazing pickups. Getting Freeman from the CFL was a great move on defense as was getting Landry (currently injured but a great player).
Reggie is Reggie but TY Hilton is turning into a solid receiver. On pace for a 1,000+ yard season and he has dynamite speed.
On defense, what can be said about Robert Mathis? Guy is still a beast and got his 100th career sack tonight (30th player to do so). It's fun watching these guys compete.
Interesting to see how the AFC plays out. Lots of teams have the talent to go far.

Second half would've then been called differently from both teams if Seattle's lead was 2+ scores was it well could've been. Full credit to Luck for coming back, but Seattle let this slip away after a dominant first half.

Yeah, Seattle was pretty dominant up until the Hilton bomb that gave the Colts some life. Then that 2nd huge play on the blocked FG changed the game. I thought Indy did a much better job in the 2nd half. Seattle does a good job on the short game and has a solid defense. Luck did a great job of going over the top to get Hilton open. Sherman took the bait on the 1st TD as Hilton was going to cut but then just darted down the field, and Hilton beat out Browner on a perfectly placed ball on the 2nd TD. Seattle is a solid football team and will be in the mix. I think they will bounce back well vs Tennessee next week. Was impressed with the mobility of Wilson. Was frustrating in the 1st half seeing him run everywhere.
