No I'm not arguing.
The Colts not trying isn't a theory. It's a fact. You can either accept that, or you can't.
Exactly, that organization made a business decision knowing that PM was done for the year to look to the future with Andrew Luck on the horizon and that future was to do what it could to make sure that Andrew Luck will be a Colt for the next 15 years.
Be it playing the worst of 2 backup QBs or choosing to not even address the situation at all, to IR'ing key players, to consistenly making sure that even if they had a half time lead to make sure the team did what it had to do to make sure the game was lost.
This team was on a mission for Andrew Luck. I already provided the Pierre Garcon fumble earlier in this thread for some proof. At that juncture in the Bengals game, it was very late in the game and the Colts had the lead. Pierre did what he could do to make sure he gave that 7 points to the Bengals. Matter of fact in that same game, Dallas Clark let a Bengal take the ball right out of his hands. I've watched Clark play football for a long, long time one of the surest handed, disciplined football players we've ever seen literally handed the football to a Bengal. I was suspicious before then, but after witnessing those 2 plays in particular, I was sold.
Bill Polian and Mr. Irsay you've tanked your way to Andrew Luck. I must say, it was a good business and organizational decision for your franchise. But in my heart, I will always know that you trashed the integrity of every game you played this year to accomplish that goal.
