Indy a model franchise? I don't think so. They've had one of the best QBs to ever play the game for 12 years and they've managed 1 super bowl win. A model franchise, with Peyton Manning, would've won multiple Super Bowls.

Let's see your club (the Ravens, right?) put together the number of 10 and 12 win seasons that the Colts have with little or no off-field distractions. Let's be clear here -- the Colts are tanking because of exceptionally poor coaching and recent draft stupidity. Polian's biggest mistake was that he thought the Colts had the luxury of drafting for depth rather than filling holes and it has caught up with them.

Looks like I'm not the only one to have my opinion, either:

Baltimore is schizophrenic. Just about every year (including this year), I pick them as an AFC favorite and every year, they prove me wrong.

As much as I like Wayne, they pretty much have to let him go unless Peyton restructures and gives up some money. Garcon is too unreliable to be a #1 receiver so look for the Colts to pick a receiver in the first 2 rounds of the draft next year and possibly even with their #1 pick if they can't get Luck.

Maybe this is all part of the plan. Peyton gets 'hurt' They pick some shmoe to be QB and pay him 4mill to get a 'concussion' and let the 3rd stringer lose all the games for them so they get great pick to pick up an awesome WR - Brilliant!

This game is painful to watch, I thought Baltimore was better than this?

Yeah - this is pretty sucky. The best part of the game so far is when the on field mike picked up someone screaming "Hey (uninteligable)! I am going to fucking kill you!"

Not watching the game (I don't have cable) but I checked the stats at halftime and saw Flacco had one completion to himself for -8 yards? Did it get batted up in the air and he caught it?

Saturday, my UW Huskies who broke into the top 25 get their asses handed to them thanks to Andrew Luck and company. Sunday, the Seahawks lose 6-3 in a very exciting and well executed thriller. But then I thought at least MNF is usually a good game, regardless of the matchups. WTF? Not a great weekend for football.

Whoever told Del Rio to throw the red flag is an idiot. Flacco wasn't that close to stepping out of the end zone.
