2) Falling behind 28 illustrates -- in part -- what a mediocre overall team they are. If the Colts don't do their part in putting a quality team around him -- you know, wasting first round picks on mediocre running backs -- it'll be a brobdingnagian shame.

While I largely agree, Luck wasn't exactly helping out with that, with two bad interceptions helping to build that lead.

When the trade happened pretty much everyone thought Indy got a steal. I'm not totally willing to condemn that move in hindsight. I think that this offseason will provide a lot more perspective on whether or not they'll be able to put the pieces together alongside Luck. Of course, it doesn't really help that they've had a lot of injuries at key skill positions this season, my guess is that they'd look a lot better if Wayne and Allen were still around, and without the injuries to their top 2 RBs they wouldn't have done that trade at all.
