BIG PLAYS !

[hptXcolts]

We live and die off big plays like 3rd and short or second and long for the offense...and same for the defense. If we are gonna win today we gotta Have those big play turn in our favor. That means as a group coaching staff included we have to execute all 4 quarters on both sides of the ball. To be honest I'm glad we got sum players out today, because the younger guys get a shot you never know were you'll find a diamond in the ruff #colts strong

That right preach Gameday

[Coffeedrinker]

So, you are saying for the Colts to win:

• The offense has to play well
• The defense has to play well
• The coaches have to coach well
• And they have to do this for all 4 quarters of the game.

I think that is a good plan.  I hope the Eagles don't try that as well because if they do then it might be a close game.

I heard the Eagles are going to try and score more points than us. Interesting strategy as well.

Since we have no plans for our Special Teams to play well, we may be in trouble.

 

And what if it goes into overtime?

Finally the next step in human evolution, where a person's inner monologue is live posted to the Colts Forum..... 

[BrentMc11]

I want to hear more....I want to hear more...just learning the game...so we really HAVE to score more points?  Sorry....I play golf....

That is why no other team tries this strategy... too many holes.

*sigh*

Hmm, that could pose some problems for the Colts.  The strategies of this game are becoming like the unstoppable force meeting the immovable object.

 

Once these game plans unfold tonight, I think all the other teams in the league will try copying one or the other or maybe even both.  It is a copycat league after all.

I say we spot them 40...and play comeback the whole game.  It is tradition.

[BlueRedZone]

The Keys to the game to me are:

 

Control the LOS on Offense and Defense

 

Limit turnovers

 

Take advantage of turnovers and score points

 

Get touchdowns in the redzone.

 

If we do those 4 things I like our chances in this one.

Sorry, we only plan for so many minutes. If it is into overtime, you are on your own.

I think our usual 20 or so will be a big enough challenge to overcome.

Love the old school avatar!  Dick the Bruiser, right?  At first I thougth it was George the Animal Steele.

 

As far as projections for the game, I think we should count on at least one thread calling for our coaches and GM to be fired before the end of the half.  One on how we need to fix the Oline, and at least one on how TRich shouldn't be in the NFL.

Don't have to spot them just hide the score board from the pep and mandusky and tell them we are down big .

I always knew there was a future NFL coach on these forums just waiting to get there shot ;)

I expect all of those for sure. Yes, it is Dick the Bruiser. I grew up in Indiana and I watched "The Bruiser" go against people like Cowboy Bob Ellis, Wilbur Snyder, the Shiek and many more. He died at 61 lifting weights at his home when he ruptured his esophagus. I'm glad you remembered him. Played football at Purdue and in the NFL for a while.

Do you remember Johnny Weaver, Yukon Eric, Bobo Brazil (famous for the coco but) and Ox Baker?

[basketballsteve]

Make the Eagle makeshift line feel like they can't block us and all our worries are solved...maximum effort and concentration by all the D-Line, and a little secret sauce on the calls and we are home free.

Before my time, I started watching wrestling when I was 5-6 years old in '87-'88

Way before, this was the mid 50s.

Sadly the Eagles implemented their strategy better than the Colts.  I think the Colts did the first three items, they just didn't do it for 4 qtrs.

 

Perhaps someone can answer this.  On the Colts last drive, they ran the ball 2 times and it was 3rd and 5.  Why line up with 5 WRs, especially since the Eagles were getting good pressure with their front 4?  Why not line up in the same off balance line or at least keep a RB in the backfield and do a play action pass or even *gasp* run it for the first down?

 

I know it's easy to second guess after the fact but still if they would have shown at least the threat of a running play it would have helped matters greatly.

Dick the Bruiser....classic.  He was still wrestling in the 60s and early 70s wasn't he?  I could look it up...

I have a harder time believing TEs were not targeted other than Jack Doyle.  Also wondering why said 5 WRs the caliber of ours cannot get open?????

I know he was in the 60s. 70s I am not so sure.

Nothing definitive, but he was Tag Team of the year in 1972...that is how I remember him...I was a youngin.
