The only question now is do they lose 7 in a row?

Congrats, you win the internet for the day? 
It's not a stretch to say a team will lose five games in a row missing their Pro-Bowl quarterback and their Pro-Bowl receiver.
However, their offense let them down, not their defense. With the exception of the second half against Atlanta and the second half against NE, the defense has been fine.
Against New Orleans, they made it to OT and a rookie LB made a coverage mistake when Sean Lee was out.
Against New York in New York, Dallas' defense only allowed the Giants offense 13 points...Matt Cassel had a pick six (as well as another INT that led to a FG) and special teams gave up a kick off return.
Dallas's defense held Seattle to 13 points.
Had the offense given the defense any kind of support, we'd be talking about things differently. But "woulda, coulda, shoulda" doesn't count.
NFC East is weak, but is it worth it to try and make a run? Is there a stud RB like Todd Gurley coming out in next year's draft?

An RGIII trade should happen, but I don't think there's a team that wants him

You Are A Tooooooy!!!
TWO bags of peanuts.... at first I heard one bag. Man what a joke. 
Nice pickup for Denver... now we'll see if SF dumps Kaep.

Colt are garbage. Andrew Luck is terrible. Start Hasselbeck.
Colts won't win a non-division game the rest of the year.
6-10 playoff team will be sad.

I am still waiting for Luck to throw the game away.
Excellent win for the Panthers. Luck once again costs his team the win.
Sure it was all him. You either have a serious grudge against him or your just flat out clueless.

That was sooooooooo stressful.
Terrible throws all night and the game ending interception. At one point -4 passing yards for the half. Yeah, I will put the blame on him.
QB has to step up and make plays consistently throughout the game. His six minute fourth quarter was epic... but as it shows.... playing good only in the 4th doesn't win you football games. Brady played well with terrible O-Lines, why can't Luck? All these excuses for him. He is hurt... it was raining... it is the coach... the Offensive coordinator.... the offensive line.... everyone being blamed but Luck. Hasselbeck is 2-0 as a starter, Luck is 1-5. It will be scary watching how bad he performs against that Broncos defense. I predict less than 200 yards, 55% or below completion percentage and a couple of picks.

Ken Whisenhunt becomes coach #2 this season to get his walking papers. I had my money on Pagano. Maybe after the Broncos paste Luck next week.
Wait I remember when Brady had a Bad O line and receivers not getting open or making plays not doing all that well. When was that? Oh yeah last year. Is Luck playing bad sure but watch that game look at balls receivers could have made plays on and didn't, then watch some of Cams receivers make big catches to move the chains. Luck is pressing and trying to force things mostly because he isn't getting lot of help. Also its want Luck who has fumbled not one but twice going into the endzone this year.
Now to your Hasselbeck point , you are sayingn that cant beat anyone outside the division well Hasselbeck beat what two teams? Oh thats right Texans and Jags. So Hasselbeck is 2-0 against the south and Luck is 1-0 against the south. Hasselbeck didnt have to play the Jets, the Bills (both D's were HOT) the Pats (but they suck right?) the Saints and the Panthers (also another top D)

I'm pretty sure that if you polled all the coaches and GMs in the league and ask them which player they'd draft first to build their franchise around for the next ten years (THAT'S THE CAVEAT: the next ten years, so Brady and Rodgers are out of the equation), Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson would be the top two names.
Luck does need to cut down on his turnovers, but I see him at this point in his career where Tony Romo was a few years ago: being forced to do everything. Luck's starting running back (Frank Gore) and his #1 receiver (Andre Johnson) are pretty much over the hill at this point. His O-line sucks; sure, Tom Brady has played behind some bad offensive lines as well, but the offensive scheme has been tailored to minimize the pass rush with short, quick throws.
And Indianapolis has no defense to speak of. The only time anyone's said that Indy came up with a good game plan is last year's playoff upset of the Broncos, where the dared Peyton Manning to throw outside of the hashes (as Grenouille mentioned in a previous post).
Just like a player shouldn't lose his job because of injury, a coach shouldn't lose theirs as well. But you have to wonder where Andrew Luck would be under Bruce Arian's offensive direction instead of Pagano.
