Predictions for Sunday

[BProland85]

Honestly, I fear for Andrew's life behind this banged up OL. And Denver is at full force defensively for the most part.

 

Broncos win 38-24

 

 

[CR91]

we win. end of prediction

[BProland85]

we win. end of prediction

I wish I had your optimism, but I'm more of a realist and I don't see how we are going to run the ball or protect Luck for a full game against their pass rush.

[crunk-juice]

37-27 DEN

[dudeski]

Broncos win

[B~Town]

Hard to predict when neither team has played a real game yet but if the good Colts show up no reason we can't get a W before injuries last year we were laying it on them .

what exactly is our o-line missing? a center? we dont even know if holmes is out. ware and miller? ware isnt the pass rusher he use to be and miller has taken a step back the last couple of years.

what is our OL missing...  any sort of proven center?   an above average starter at any position?

 

Miller played half a season last year.  the year before.. 18.5 sacks.  Ware is past is prime but if you think he's not still skilled enough to get the best of our tackles on occasion, youre crazy.

you really dont pay much attention to our line do you? how many sacks were given up by our tackles as you put it suck? have you seen holmes play to say hes not qualified to be our starting center?

kinda funny that you accuse me of not paying attention, then go on to completely misrepresent my post.

 

1. I never said our tackles suck.  I said our line lacks an above average starter... and yes, I do believe both of our tackles are average.  I don't care about sack numbers, much of that has to do with Luck's awareness/elusiveness.  it is not a rare sight to see Luck running for his life.

 

2. again, never said Holmes wasn't qualified.  I said he wasn't proven, which can't really be argued at this point.

"Denver's at full force"

Exactly what is full force? TJ Ward is the only threat I'm see in

Ware is washed up

Talib just needs one shot to the hip and he's out

Von Miller ain't been the same force he was since he got busted so it must've been the performance enhancers helping him or something

Their secondary is trash

Trevathan is out

What full force are you seeing?

[Colts_Fan12]

A W for the colts!!

[Derakynn]

Colts win. And yes, I'm a realist. If the real Colts come to play then we are better and will win barring bad officiating intervention.

Idk why thinking we will win is unrealistic to some we put it on Denver last year and our D is better now sure we won't have Mathis but all the others can step up enough for his absence

you do realize chelius was heavily coveted. sound like someone who isnt above average. canstanzo is the best LT we've had since glenn retired. before we had trash like charlie johnson and tony ugoh

[Bluefire4]

I'm going to have faith in my team.. no matter what challenges they face.. the NFL is not serious enough to complain about things you can't change.

[BPM_Colt]

41-31....... Hate to say it, but Denver wins

 

Hope I am wrong

[HtownColt]

we had a 33 to 14 lead last year before our starting secondary dropped like flies and broncos got let back in game. That was with satele at center. shipley, harrison and holmes are better than satele. Not to mention bradshaw, nicks, d allen, and moncrief weren't playing. Wayne didn't play the whole game. Well you say but they added d ware well whoodie doo allen can block him. Well what about miller he was a non factor last year with a worse oline.Welker doesn't scare me. Caldwell doesn't scare me davis shut down thomas, Butler can handle sanders toler should own latimer. let landry ring the other thomas bell when he catches the ball and get him scared like he was versus seahawks.Ball should be shut down by front seven. colts win 43 to 8.

[Warhorse]

So there you have it, being real is predicting a loss. Got it. In my world, it's not realistic, its safe.

 

Here is to being unsafe and daring. We will win.....by 4......in the fourth. Our dline wreaks havoc because our secondary is like irritating fly paper.....sticky and impossible to get away from. Trent is a rolling ball of.....you know.

 

Also, someone who is a fan of another team will somehow make a Brady/Manning comparison. Trent will be dissed, Irsay will be the recipient of a poorly disguised segue designed to get him into the line of written fire.

[Jules]

I was not going to call this game but so be it. I am going to pick the Colts. I have to. Besides, until proven otherwise we own the Broncos. Like we do the Chiefs.

 

We may miss Mathis a lot. But, I think the offense will show up big time for this one with a chip.

 

Besides we don't lose two in a row under Luck! Our last loss was in the playoffs to NE. ;)

I still can't believe that someone seriously thinks our O line doesn't have problems...

[JlynRN]

I say Colts WIN 37-31.

 

No one at all expected us to beat the Broncos last season either, yet look what happened !!!  If our boys in blue come into the game with the mindset to win, they will win !!! 

 

GOOOOOOOOOOO Colts !!!!!!!

[open window]

My head says Broncos, and if you knew what kind of nonsense goes on in there, you would be inclined to think Colts win. Last year I was pretty sure Denver was going to mess us up, much to my delight it was wrong, on the other hand I remember what Peyton did to the Ravens, yikes. I have no score prediction ladies and gents all I have is a hankering for a close competitive game worthy of the attention. Vinny could maybe kick the game winner as time expires. Peyton will be classy no matter the outcome so will Luck that is my prediction.

[UKCOLT17]

denver  win 37- 30 all comes down to if get pressure on manning didnt look great against brees so hopefully better

[grimluck72]

Colts win 31-28.

[Dustin]

We'll either win by a little, or lose by a lot.

[SteelCityColt]

I predict a forum riot.

And Welker might be out as well.

[conklincolt]

quit horse'in around   broncos 31 colts 17

[Blue Horseshoe]

A complete and merciless drubbing by at least 17 points.  Denver is better at almost every position and it will be very obvious on Sunday.

[bavanlan]

Biggest difference between last year and this year?

 

Last year we could press and be physical with Denver's receivers, which Manning has always struggled with (but even more now that he has zero arm strength and has to float hi arc passes to everyone).  This year, I don't think we'll get to be nearly as physical.

[Smonroe]

Broncos win 38-24

 

Got to agree, Denver will kill us.  I also think Seattle and San Fran will smoke us.  But we should roll over Arizona and St. Louis.

[R.J. MacReady]

 Colt's will win 27-24 with a 67 yarder by Patty Mac as time expires. The coaching staff has already promised him (at some point) a shot at the record and this is logical in denver's thin air. I also think Zach Kerr gets 2.5 sacks and constantly hurries Manning all game.

[grimluck72]

Huh?

[lollygagger8]

I want us to win really bad, but I don't see it happening

 

 

Manning is a smart guy, and will watch the Saints tape of dumdum Manusky putting DQ on a TE and/or WR, and/or Werner being dropped back into coverage and destroy us. 

[CR91]

I still can't believe that someone seriously thinks our O line doesn't have problems...

We haven't seen our starting line together to say we have problems. Denver is gonna kill us, their better at everything, enough. Stop acting like Denver is unbeatable

[HOZER]

If there's one thing I've learned in the Andrew Luck era, it's to never count this team out even if the odds don't look good!

GO COLTS!!!!!!

[Stephen]

I m telling you guys it will be a blowout in the colts favor

[R.J. MacReady]

 I'll quote the movie 'blazin' saddles'. Mongo (Zach Kerr) will tear the sheriff (Peyton Manning) into teeny tiny sheriff meatballs. GO COLT'S AND MONGO!!!
