Final Record: 2-142012 Draft Position: 1st
Preseason Ranking: 12
Week 1: Lost at the Houston Texans, 34-7
Ranked - 31
Without Manning, the Colts looked helpless. The team will rally around Collins in the coming weeks, but these Colts are merely Ponies without their fearless leader at the helm.
Week 2: Lost to the Cleveland Browns, 27-19
Ranked - 29
I really thought the Colts would rally around Collins enough to get by the Browns without incident, but Indy looks completely out of their element without Manning behind center. The Colts have been designed for a vertical passing game led by their formerly indestructible general and are now forced into a balanced attack with an emphasis on defense. That can be a formula for success in the long run, but the 2011 season is all but lost.
Week 3: Lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 23-20
Ranked - 30
Note to self: With Manning most likely gone for the year, talk with coaches about manufacturing some "Luck" for our future. Signed, Jim Irsay.
Week 4: Lost at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 24-17
Ranked - 30
Painter is no Manning, but after his gutty performance against the Buccaneers, he showed he can be far more useful than your typical clipboard holder.
Week 5: Lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, 28-24
Ranked - 30
Painter has provided a spark to the Manning-less offense, but the defense of the Colts has always been suspect, even when Manning took the field.
Week 6: Lost at the Cincinnati Bengals, 27-17
Ranked - 30 Indiana-Jones Style Recap
Reggie Wayne: We're in trouble!
Peyton Manning: Trouble? What kind of trouble?
Reggie Wayne: It's a long story. Better hurry up or you won't get to hear it.
Week 7: Lost at the New Orleans Saints, 62-7
Ranked - 31
Horrible effort by the Colts last Sunday night in New Orleans. They were never going to win that game, but they certainly should not have been blown out that bad. 45-7, sure. But 62-7, that's ridiculous.
Week 8: Lost at the Tennessee Titans, 27-10
Ranked - 32
Even without Manning at the helm, the Indianapolis Colts shouldn’t be this bad. Could 0-16 really be a possibility? If they get to 0-14, I hope Coach Caldwell benches his starting players to make 0-16 a reality. If it was good enough for 14-0, it's good enough for 0-14.
Week 9: Lost to the Atlanta Falcons, 31-7
Ranked - 32
The bye week can’t come soon enough for Indianapolis.
Week 10: Lost to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 17-3
Ranked - 32
The bye week has finally arrived for the Colts.
Week 11: BYE WEEK
Ranked - 32
Unfortunately the season is not over yet for the Colts. Although they didn’t lose last week. They have that going for them.
Week 12: Lost to the Carolina Panthers, 27-19
Ranked - 32
The Colts were unwilling to try for perfection a few years back, content to settle for a 14-2 record. Are the football gods punishing them now by having them go 0-16?
Week 13: Lost at the New England Patriots, 31-24
Ranked - 32
The misery of the Colts season continues.
Week 14: Lost at the Baltimore Ravens, 24-10
Ranked - 32
About the best thing that can be said about the Colts is that their season will be over in three weeks.
Week 15: Defeated the Tennessee Titans, 27-13
Ranked - 31
Defeated no more, the Colts can now tank their remaining two games with a clear conscience.
Week 16: Defeated the Houston Texans, 19-16
Ranked - 30
Indy is on a two-game winning streak. One more victory and they can kiss all those Manning-Luck conversations goodbye.
Week 17: Lost at the Jacksonville Jaguars, 19-13
Final Ranking: 31
Tomorrow, the 2011 St. Louis Rams...
