Any insight on why Luck gets so many passes deflected at line? And dont say it is because the line is terrible. It is better than last year's and I dont remember so many then with the crappy qbs we had then. And I don't recall seeing so many from other qbs with bad lines. Second question: what are the best free agents at our areas of need. You decide our areas. Any guesses on draft are welcome too. Third question: anyone have any prospects on a new o-coordinator? I for one wont be sad to see BA go. I liked improved running game, but the passing game should have been better than it was. Don't get me wrong I love Luck, but I expected more scrambling and easy completions for him. I also expected more use of Fleener as a receiver down the field instead of using him so often as a blocker.

Lewis prepared for his jousting match after the game with his facemask.

Man I can't help wondering how different the game would be if luck wasn't getting smashed on what seems like every play!

 @JackPowell1 The NFL is part luck. You play the same game 5 times I bet the Colts win a few times, all about how the day went.

 @Candlebox Nah, Colts don't play that diva game. Plus he has his fair share  dropsies granted he's getting thrown to by bakers and butchers.

Baltimore used to getting beat by the Colts at home.  Whole new feeling for them.

So many players to buy and players to fire.  It's too far away!

Atleast Luck is over 50% passing this week, and that is with too many drops and 12 passes deflected, I am ready for an exciting offseason

 @BDiddy Hit Ballard in both hands. Doesn't matter if it was to a zone or not. Should have been caught.

 

Like HIV in southern Africa

 @Payton Depends on if he was throwing to a spot or not.  If so, then it wasn't a bad throw.  If he was throwing to his wide open receiver it was.

IF Brazill would have kept running he would have had that, that was also PI
