INDIANAPOLIS -- So much has rightfully been talked about when it comes to how the Indianapolis Colts are doing a poor job with tackling and putting pressure on the quarterback.

But Andrew Luck and the offense don’t get a free pass, either. They’ve had their fair share of mistakes, too.

They got into Denver’s territory eight times in Week 1, only to score on half of those trips. The Colts had two costly turnovers the Eagles turned into 14 points on Monday.

“Yeah, the friendly fire, it will kill you,” coach Chuck Pagano said. “Just like I told them in there, it’s so hard to win at this level. It doesn’t matter how good you play, all the games come down to one-score games. It doesn’t matter. You’ve got to eliminate friendly fire and you’ve got to finish games. You’ve got to put people away.

“We had a chance to put people away and we didn’t do anything in the first part of that third quarter. We got off the field on defense, but we couldn’t do anything offensively. We had our chances again and we didn’t capitalize.”

Here’s a breakdown of the Colts’ offensive miscues in the first two weeks of the season:

Week 1 at Denver

• Failed third-and-1 pass attempt at the Broncos’ 36-yard line. A delay of game penalty pushed the Colts out of field goal range.

• Luck tried to rush the offense to the line of scrimmage and attempt a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-goal from the Broncos’ 1-yard line. Luck was stuffed behind the line of scrimmage, leaving the Colts without any points when they had a chance a chance to cut Denver’s lead to 10.

• Luck’s pass attempt to tight end Coby Fleener was tipped and intercepted at Denver’s 32-yard line with the Colts trailing 31-17 in the fourth quarter.

Week 2 vs. Philadelphia

• Running back Trent Richardson fumbled at the Colts' 25-yard line. The Eagles scored five plays later to tie the game at 20-20 late in the third quarter.

• Luck threw an interception after Eagles cornerback Brandon Boykin got away with a hold on receiver T.Y. Hilton. The bigger issue was why the Colts threw the ball when the clock was in their favor and they had an opportunity to score at least three points to extend their lead to 10 points with about five minutes remaining.

Tight end Dwayne Allen said it best after the game.

"There's no falling back on, 'We're a young team and we're still learning,'" he said. "The whole 'young' title is out the door. We're a football team, and we're an experienced football team."
