Is that why they made it to the playoffs on the back of a 3rd string rookie QB(yates), while his top WR (johnson) sat out 9 games last season and their top runner being out 3 games??

I think the facts prove you wrong.

Houston is a Super Bowl contender. Indy might win 3 to 6 games. I almost feel sorry for Luck. He's going to have a real tough rookie year.

I think a lot of people continue to underestimate Houston's defense under the direction of Wade Philips i.e. it's the Texans' defense that makes them a legit contender. I wish we would have replaced Haslett w/ Philips as soon as he hit the market...sometimes it seems this franchise doesn't do everything it could to win.

But Indy has depth?

Didn't suggest they did (I hope).

I like them in a 16 game season. Once you account for the fact that none of the other three teams would compete for a wild card if the division title didn't exist, it pretty much comes down to record within the division. And Indy gets the divisions' best (or second best) quarterback, and just as many home games as everyone else.

I mean, heck, Indy went 2-4 in the division last year, isn't Luck worth some sort of bump?

Houston is hands down the best team in that division. They have the best QB, best wr, best RB, best o-line and the best defense w/out Mario Williams. Name one position where Indy is better than Houston? Maybe d-end and that's it.

To be fare they beat a Houston team without Matt Schaub and a rookie QB with Tennessee, plus they went 0-10 outside the division. Lost their best (arguable) WR, top 2 TEs, top RB, and have no defense outside of an aging Freeney and Mathis. I don't see what you do. I don't think they go 2-14 again but they will have a top 5 pick in the 2013 draft.

Peter King's take on the whole RG3 bashing...

Peter King ‏ @SI_PeterKing
Re RG3 bashing: When I asked him for his favorite play of '11, he talked for 5 minutes about his downfield block on RB TD in Alamo Bowl.

Peter King ‏ @SI_PeterKing
I'm sure some scout thinks Griffin is selfish. But in my reporting on him+Luck, I never heard that trait mentioned once about either guy.

Why is this even a story? Such a complete non issue.

The way he deals with the media reminds me a lot of Drew Brees and Kurt Warner. It's kind of a weird dynamic because it annoys me that he talks about himself and how he is but then again the media keeps asking him these questions and bringing these quotes or stories to his attention in hopes of getting a response.

I hope RGIII is selfish. so selfish that he insists on having the most TDs in the game compared to our opponents.

Probably the same moron who tried to hijack Cam Newton's draft stock last minute.

Ridiculous claims.

No way the Colts finish ahead of Houston OR Tennessee. Jacksonville is a joke, they'll be in the basement. They should have gotten Tebow so they're at least fun to watch while losing. I'm so glad we passed on Gabbert.
