Did Luck get benched vs Dallas?

[mav1234]

Anyone watching see what happened with Luck? Was it an injury or benching due to the game being out of reach?

Also the Cowboys are looking scary lately...

No reason to be in there during this blowout.

Still confused why Demarco Murray is still out there.

Colts can't come back from this, they have already clinched the division and no reason to have him out there anymore, possible risk of injury.

 

As an aside, it probably just cost me my fantasy playoff run.

I just wanna know what the hell Pagano was thinking calling that fake punt from deep in their own territory.

Granted it almost worked. Still...

Romo having his best game od the year may cost me fantasy money. No need for that 4th td.

[FootballMaestro]

Yes, he was pulled.

 

Normally, they keep Luck in the game when down big, which win or lose, helps pads his stats and the scoreboard differential.

The Colts already clinched division and deactivated Hilton. Colts did this all the time when Peyton was there, can't believe the Cowgirls are acting like this is a huge deal for them. It was an exhibition game, nothing more.

I would bet $1,000 it was an automatic audible at LOS when they saw the guy was completely uncovered.

For the Luck haters. The Colts lead the league in dropped passes. To put that in perspective. Take a look at his stats DESPITE that.

To better understand this, you have to look at the number of targets, and the Colts have the second most in the NFL.

 

So yes, there are going to be some drops.

 

Anyways, 35 drops on 568 targets is a drop percentage of 6.2 percent.

 

Your post makes it sound as if his WR's are dropping them left and right. Nevermind the fact that T.Y. Hilton is top 4 in receiving yards this year.

Dropping left and right would be hyperbole. Leading the league in drops, would be an actual metric.

 

The # of drops is still a league leader.

Speaking about Luck.

 

Why couldn't the Panthers had went after his old coach Bruce Arians, instead of keeping Dum Dum Ron Ron!

 

Imagine, how good the Panthers would be with Arians at Head Coach!

They have a lot of drops. They also have a lot of drop backs and passes.

That isn't to say they have had some drop issues, but that number is a bit inflated

Looks like much of that is from Reggie Wayne.
