First of all aren't you the guy who used to have your profile Location as "Indianapolis" just a few days ago? I'm pretty dang certain that's you, but you must of changed it since you are totally showing your true colors right now.
Secondly Luck DID NOT VASTLY OUTPLAY WILSON... That's just a moronic statement dude...
Total Team Yards:
1) Seattle = 423
2) Colts = 317
Total Passing Yards:
1) Luck = 229
2) Wilson = 210
Completion Percentage:
1) Luck = 55.2%
2) Wilson = 48.4%
Rushing Yards:
1) Wilson = 102 yards
2) Luck = 9 yards
Total Yards Passing + Rushing:
1) Wilson = 312 yards
2) Luck = 238 yards
But let's not forget Luck had 1 play for 73 yards!
If you take away that one freakish play (freakish is an appropriate term as that was probably the biggest play the Seahawks gave up all Season)...
Then suddenly Luck's stats become:
Total Passing Yards = 156 (Lower than Wilson's 210)
Yards Per Attempt = 5.57 (Lower than Wilson's 6.77)
So Luck basically made one arguably lucky pass which allowed him to BARELY edge out Russell Wilson in passing yards.
Wilson had more total yards BY FAR when including Rushing.
So when you evaluate the Colt's scoring plays in this game you get:
1) A freakish 73 yard pass to T.Y. Hilton
2) A 61 yard blocked field goal return by Delano Howell
So 14 of the Colts 34 points were on freaky weird plays!
If those 2 plays didn't occur it could of very easily been a 28-20 win for Seahawks.
But I think what actually determined the game were the penalties and piss poor Offensive Line play by the Seahawks, obviously penalties and poor Offensive Line play in addition to the 2 freakish plays mentioned above were not Wilson's fault in any way whatsoever.
Penalties:
Seattle 7 for 85 yards
Colts 3 for 35 yards.
So really this win wasn't too impressive by the Colts when you consider the freakish nature of two of their touchdowns. Luck had less total yards than Wilson when accounting for Rushing. Without the freakish 73 yard touchdown throw he would of also had a lower total passing yards, and yards per attempt... most likely he would of had a lower Passer Rating too but I'm not gonna do the math.
The one area you can give Luck props in comparison to Wilson in this game is his completion percentage... but it was a terribly bad 55.2%... OH WAIT THAT'S ALMOST HIS CAREER AVERAGE LOL!?
