Was this Marvin Harrison's last game ????

He has missed the last 10+ weeks with a knee injury and barely played today. With Harrison being 35 years old could this be his last game ???

He will be back, but his days as a dominant receiver are over, IMO. He will still be useful because of his disciplined route running and experience, but Wayne and Gonzalez are Colts starters now.
First the federal government borrowed money; then gave the money to Bank of America; then I borrowed some of that money from Bank of America and gave it to the federal government; then the federal government gave the money back to Bank of America.

im quite sure harrison will still be starting next season over gonzalez... he wont end his career on this low of a note.. his fumble changed the complexion of the game (not to mention f'ed up my bet)

He'll be back. But his injury might slow him down from his usual self.

I know Harrison will be back, why would a legendary player such as him want to end his career like this? I doubt he will have a great impact like he has in the past but he will put up decent stats and finish his career on a positive note.

I never questioned "his want" what I'm questioning is "can he" ???

I expect Marvin to be back on the field next season. He still has the drive to win, but he needs to watch his body more, and at this point he must know he can't do what he once was capable of doing.

Honestly, if he doesn't come back I don't think the Colts will miss him at all. That's just my two cents though.

Of course we will miss him..He's still probably the best route runner on the team as well as having the best hands..His explosiveness and acceleration are not what they used to be and he won't be putting the huge stats and TDs he used to but he's still a damn good receiver and his chemistry with Peyton is still damn good. He'll be back, he may not start but he'll at the very least be a situational type WR.

I'm pretty sure he'll be back. I'd be shocked if he wasn't. The question is whether he can ever be 100% healthy again. The ESPN report said that it may never heal, but the Colts denied that report, so it's hard to say what's really true.
