[scorecard]

Luck had a decent game, but the patriots have a running game, and the colts do not.

The Colts don't really need a running game, what they need is a defense.  Against good teams, Luck has to outscore teams to win.  Roethlisberger throws for 500+ yards.  Patriots run for 200+ yards.  Luck has to score everytime, and has to score TDs, because his D is giving up points by the bushel.

This must be painful deja-vu for Luck.  When we had him, we never had the defense that could stop Oregon.  It cost him the Voldemort, and possibly a shot at a national championship.  And now, he goes to a Colts team that has the exact same problem (with the additional problem of a porous o-line that is getting him killed).
 
And now we have the defense, yet we haven't found another Luck (or anywhere even remotely close).

Argh.
