Don’t Blame Peyton

With the Colts off to a blistering 0-10 start, there has been much talk that the reason is because they are without their star quarterback, Peyton Manning. While there is no doubt that this has been a hindrance to the Colts returning to the playoffs, it is no excuse for such a horrific season. The last time I checked, Peyton didn’t play defense, he didn’t block during punts, and he didn’t make tackles on kick-off coverage. While Peyton may be the “glue” that holds the team together, it is unfathomable that one single player can cause a perpetually playoff-bound team to fall to the ranks of the 2008 Detroit Lions (sorry Lions fans). Where is the pride in the rest of these professionals? Why can’t coaching get the team to believe that they can win without one player? If you ask me, it is time for a complete makeover for the Colts in 2012. From management down to the players, it is time for a clean slate. Maybe with a little “Luck” in 2012, the Colts will be back on track.
