Bull ****ing shit.
Your team "lost its will" or whatever when Peyton had his neck issue, but that's not good enough.
Andrew Luck should be a Cleveland Brown right now. We should be judging him on his ability to resurrect THAT ****ing franchise. THAT is something I would respect him for if he were able to do that.
But on the Colts? His career is a huge ****ing farce now.

Please. If they tanked, they didn't do a very good job of it. They signed Kerry Collins to play QB, and he was awful, but if you're tanking anyway, why sign him in the first place? You wouldn't.
They kept all their good players, Dallas Clark, Reggie Wayne, Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis. Heck, Freeney and Mathis made the pro bowl. If you're tanking, you do what the Jets did this year and release them all.
They won 2 of their last 3 games and only got the 1st pick via tiebreaker.
Then, after the season, they fired everyone. Coach, president and GM. If it was a concerted effort to tank, they wouldn't have done that.
Peyton Manning WAS that team. He carried them for several years after the super bowl season. Irsay was just to stupid to realize it until Manning wasn't there anymore.
