On a more serious note, I would think that Peyton Manning being out on injury, and his team going 0-9 or something to start out, would pretty much put him above 7.11.

I disagree. The Colts were a deteriorating franchise. There some definite slippage since their Super Bowl run from a couple of years ago. In fact, many of the so-called experts were predicting that the Texans would usurp the Colts even before Manning went down. Since he didn't play, we'll never know, but the Colts may have very well fallen below or close to .500 whether or not Peyton played.

Not much changed for the colts. THeyve had subpar personally for years and a super elite team. they were at least 8 wins better with Peyton. No way they win less than 10 games with him
