LIGHTS OUT

[HORSEPOWER]

How about that defense today? They have been playing very well!

 

Total yards by the Bengals: 135

 

Passing: 103

 

Rushing: 32

 

And most of the passing was in garbage time late in the 4th!

 

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE TODAY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL!

[bestQBever]

We looked like the 2013 seahawks.

[BlueCollarColts]

top 10 defense?

[HORSEPOWER]

top 10 defense?

I dont see many teams getting the sacks and pressure we are. Top 10 in my book

[James Harden]

top 10 defense?

You mean number #1 Defense in the NFL!!!!!!! Great Shut out today!!! 

[Coltsman1788]

Most complete overall performance I've seen by the Colts in some time. 

[SLILLINGTON10]

not just the stat line but our defense brought the wood today... huge hits all over the place. Cincy Offense looked scared and didn't want to take the field with our defense.

[HORSEPOWER]

After todays performance, the Colts defense may statistically be #1 !!

[James Harden]

After todays performance, the Colts defense may statistically be #1 !!

#1 in Offense and #1 in Defense. Not too shabby I would say. 

[HORSEPOWER]

#1 in Offense and #1 in Defense. Not too shabby I would say. 

Not too shabby at all

now if i hear critics say the colts are not a elite team.....man...

[HORSEPOWER]

Agreed, very complete game on both sides. Those 2 turnovers (fumbles) could have changed the game but the boys did'nt let that happen today!

[HORSEPOWER]

You know ESPN wont mention the Colts.

[coltsfanatic24]

The blitzing has been a big part of the defense success. Vontae has been on an island with the safety coverage rolled to the other side.

No Mathis, no problem!  This team has stepped up and they deserve praise!

[HORSEPOWER]

Im sure we will hear how terribly the Bengals played with all the injuries blah blah blah though right?

[Dark Superman]

I'm loving the way this defense is being molded.

[HORSEPOWER]

You are spot on SupermanLuck12! This team is really coming together. Depth is showing!

[mattceinicram]

Imagine what our D will  be like once we get Art Jones in the mix

[RockThatBlue]

We are playing championship level football.

Why does what the media say/doesn't say matter to you?

They're paid to talk........

[HORSEPOWER]

The team as a whole has done very well dealing with injuries. The depth is good, and yes, as starters come back into the mix it just makes the team even better!

[HORSEPOWER]

We are playing championship level football.

Agreed!

Why does what the media say/doesn't say matter to you?

They're paid to talk........

Even though they are paid to talk, they seem to avoid talking about our Colts! Give our boys the credit they deserve!

Davis read that play early and just laid wood!

[jvan1973]

When was the last time the colts d pitched a shutout

[Danfish98]

We are playing championship level football.

Championship level defense for sure today.  The fumbles on offense can't happen on a regular basis though.  Game should have been over at halftime but mistakes kept Cincy in the game.  

[BlueCollarColts]

Imagine what our D will  be like once we get Art Jones in the mix

This! Our best D-lineman isn't even playing yet!

[hawkeyes]

The Colts Defense is for REAL!

 

I hope they stay healthy - if so the Colts are a SB contender!

[TKnight24]

Agreed!

Even though they are paid to talk, they seem to avoid talking about our Colts! Give our boys the credit they deserve!

Okay? But what I'm asking is what that matters?

27-0 to a AFC division leader speaks for itself. We're winning..... If they don't talk about it that's fine

Let your play be your credit..... We don't any "confirmation" that we're playing good by the media.

That's what our coaches & film is for

[ricker182]

When was the last time the colts d pitched a shutout

The end of the season the first year at Lucas Oil against the Titans.

[CantBeStopped]

Last game of08 against division champ titans was our lasy d shutout

[RockThatBlue]

When was the last time the colts d pitched a shutout

2008 vs titans I think

[B~Town]

We looked like the 2013 seahawks.

Or the 85 Bears

That hit is being showed on every sports outlet nice to see Vontea get some recognition.

[snkdy]

Can't embed the gif for some reason, but yikes at this play.

[jgstriker]

I love the tweaks on schemes manusky has been making the past few weeks.  He is bringing more pressure at opportune times, running more stunts with Werner and I have noticed him moving around the line more to get match ups.  

It is so nice to see a defense that isn't the vanilla Tampa cover 2
