    Real Good Chance This Team Could Lose Only 3 Games

    in Colts Football

    Posted

     

    @ Chiefs - This game will be really close. I really like the chiefs this year the offense is nice. Jamaal Charles obviously is the man to watch out for but I believe their record looks better right now than they really are. Colts should win 35-27 (High scoring game in this one)

     

    Way too early to predict, but I have to ask why you think this one will be so high scoring...

     

    As of right now, the Chiefs have, arguably, the best defense in the NFL, and the Colts are averaging 15.8 def points per game...

    Real Good Chance This Team Could Lose Only 3 Games

    Fans continue to surprise me with the well/maybe attitude. We lost to the Dolphins and beat the 49ers and SeaBirds. Only the most blue sky optimist had us winning both of these games. Now it seems every time someone makes a very positive post the 1st thing we see is, WE LOST TO THE PHINS. Can't understand what makes the Phins the bench mark instead of the Niners and SeaBirds.

    Don't know how many games the Colts will lose this year, but this season looks a lot more optimistic to me now than at the start. What is surprising is how the Texans are imploding. The Falcons lost to the Jets!!! Now there are some fans who gotta be asking "what the heck happened."

    At any rate, this is going to be a season to enjoy and if the Colts don't go at least 11-5, I'll be surprised.

    To be fair, I lurk quite a bit, and I can't name one post I read recently calling out our loss to the Dolphins...

    I think most posters here recognize there is probably more talent on that team than we foresaw this year. PERSONALLY (not shouting, just clarifying), at this point in the season, I could see them as an AFC wildcard playoff team.

    Perhaps Delano Howell is better in coverage than Landry anyhow.

    You said it! Not me!

    But I have been thinking it.

    BUT you have to admit they both have their advantages...

    On that blown coverage against Miami, Landry chased that WR down and prevented a TD. (Plus he's just a huge badbutt.) And Howell has been playing some tight coverage, most notably against SF, if I recall.

    I think it'll be really interesting to see how Howell is used (now that he's proven himself) when Landry is 100%.

    Yeah, gotta be pretty serious. Hope he recovers soon. If he's not back this week he'll definitely be back for Denver

    I was really hoping he'd be back for the Chargers first though. No doubt Landry is a plus versus Denver either way, but I'd rather he get some more game action versus the Chargers first. Facing Peyton your first game back can't be fun?

    Fantastic second half performance.

    Ok I don't understand how the got those safety points. Wasn't that off a blocked field goal? If the ball was moving there should have been no points and they just get the ball on the 20. Safety is when they catch you in YOUR OWN end zone, not the one you are trying to get INTO.

    The safety points came off a Colt's punt that was blocked back into our own end zone and almost recovered for a Seahawks TD, but instead rolled out the back of the end zone before possession changed hands. (Essentially the same as fumbling out of bounds in your own end zone. Results in safety.)

    Pretty sure that's accurate...

    Seahawks vs Colts Predictions

    Geez, there could easily be more than 2 on each side.

    I won't argue with that. I was initially thinking 4. 2 on each side, but I had to err in the favor of Luck. Compromise? 3 and 2?

    2 great + turnover teams, with 2 young talented QBs, and 2 great secondaries. Something's gotta give. I'm smelling turnovers.

    Richardson Predictions (Seattle)

    in Colts Football

    Interestingly, for all the dissing of Richardson's runs and poor average, I watched a POWERFUL back driving for 2 & 3 yard gains where most Colts backs of yesteryear were being stymied for a loss or zero gain.

    I really don't think the naysayers are watching with their eyes open and seeing just how truly TOUGH those yards were to gain.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Go Colts!

    You took the words right outta' my mouth.

    Remember when the Colt's Sweep was synonymous with 2 yard loss? Heh.

    The "New" Colts!

    If anyone is actually complaining about this win it's gotta be because they're too used to the explosive offense the Colts usually showcase...

     

    Alternatively, everyone that's super excited about this showing MIGHT expect us to go punch every team right in the mouth from here on out...

     

    I think what's really important to take away from this game is that... When it comes down to it, this team CAN put a game away. This team CAN win decisively.

     

    I think as the season goes on we'll start to see a lot more balance... Think about the Broncos game we face ahead... Now we know we can run effectively. But we'll also have to score a lot more and pass effectively. Play action is going to be huge... Way more effective that it ever was with Peyton here. (No offense to Peyton, he just never had that real 'pounding' RB)

     

    Basically, I agree, I'm excited about this new Colt's mentality, and I can't wait to see how we even still evolve as a team going forward...

    Refs in the Dolphins game [Merge]

    in Colts Football

    (Usually I hate whining about officiating, but it was hard to ignore the poor officiating in this game...)

     

    Momentum is big deal, especially in a close game like this...

     

    Coming out at halftime we get a big 3-and-out, march down the field, and score a touchdown...

    That would've been a huge momentum swing our way, probably would've changed the entire way the second half played out.

    Just to get called back.

     

    Then there's plays like the ridiculous spot on the turnover on downs... Would've been another big momentum swing...

    Instead there's all the time stoppage for measuring, making Pagano challenge, even more time stoppage...

    Killed momentum again...

     

    (And of course there are the other no-calls and poor calls that I didn't mention.)

     

    I guess I won't go so far as to say the refs cost us the game. We did still have chances to win it at the end.

     

    But it was extremely frustrating.
