We owe him some more butt kickings.

The thing is, this (so far) isn't the "same old Jaguars" that they were perhaps planning on.  I don't think that it really matters who is at QB for them when they play us.

I will say if Luck is completely healthy, and he is the Andrew Luck he was when he first entered the league from a physical standpoint, he is a capable and dangerous QB for just about any defense.

With that preface in mind, I would say it is a doubtful proposition that he is near what he was before, even if he is healthy enough to play.  Furthermore, if he plays against us, he will likely be out of sync with his receivers.  Then there is the matter of talent-namely that the talent around him has taken a precipitous drop, while the talent on our team, especially on defense, appears to have improved.  We now match up better against the Colts offense than at any time since we held them to 10 in Indy so many years ago, and likely even better than that.
