[Cowboys will be a great test since the Pats...]

Hey there Colts fans!

 

i know you don't want to hear from me today....but i wanted to say don't be down about the game...we wanted it more and you're still going to the playoffs. Romo was an assassin yesterday and when he is on like that, he's tough to beat.

 

 good luck in your playoff run and i'm glad both teams came out without any new, major injuries.

[Cowboys will be a great test since the Pats...]

Oh I saw that thread but the majority of the comments after the thread were mostly arrogance or many attempts to discredit the stats.

so....you expect the cowboys fans to sit around, shake in their boots, and talk about how good you are and how impossible the game will be? how odd lol

 

i also saw someone recently say "Dallas is not that great at pass blocking in obvious passing downs." which i find ironic...because it was YOU that said it and it's actually attempting to discredit facts LOL . Romo is repeatedly given 4-8 second pockets to throw out of...and because of that the cowboys are 2nd in the league in completion percentage and averaging a league tying high of 8.2 yards per pass attempt.

I don't think so.  Everyone in this thread has been somewhat reserved about this game, we think it's a winnable game but no one has gone so far as to say we are going to punch Dallas in the mouth and win by double digits.  Then going so far as to say they will be embarrassed if it doesn't happen.  They just don't sound too familiar with the Colts.  Dallas will find out on Sunday.

you gotta cut us some slack here. this is the first time we've had a winning team in half a decade. we have no idea how to deal with it LOL. The cowboy fan base is a LARGE one...and with every large group, you have to expect a few....odd balls.

 

 

Some of those jerks on that forum even go so far as to say the Eagles offense is better than our?  On what planet?

 

There's also a whole thread discussing how you are better than the Eagles. 

 

see: 

 

I've been seeing some posts where people think the Colts don't have much of a defense.  This just isn't correct.  There defense is nothing to be taken lightly and most of us already know about the offense.  Here are the rankings to compare with who we just played.

 

TOTAL DEFENSE  Colts 15   Eagles 27

RUN DEFENSE      Colts 17   Eagles 18

PASS DEFENSE    Colts 19   Eagles 28

 

TOTAL OFFENSE Colts 3      Eagles 5

RUN OFFENSE      Colts 17   Eagles 8

PASS OFFENSE    Colts 1     Eagles 7

 

This is more than a little concerning since Philly was able to almost shut down our run game.  It looks like we should use a similiar game plan as we used to beat Philly, but they have a much better pass defense.  We must keep the ball out of Luck's hands.

 

The funny thing is the Eagles beat the Colts earlier this year.

 

as i said...as a cowboys fan, you just have to understand that you're going to get a large difference in opinions 

[Cowboys will be a great test since the Pats...]

I don't like some of the comments I read on that message board of theirs.  These guys really think they are going to hand it to us. No way, No way, No way! They are just not familiar with the Colts.

fair enough. of course....some of your fans think YOU are just gonna hand it to US.

 

Why is it i can only make 2 more posts? LOL

Welcome. And I agree with you, I think it's going to be an offensive shootout with the team who limits the turnovers winning and its likely to come down to the last drive in the last minute. Just got a feeling this will be abother cardiac colt game

If Doug Free and Zack Martin (cowboys right side O Line) are fairly healthy and play well...it could be a long day for the Colts Defense on the T.O.P side. Everyone knows the cowboys game plan coming in to the game. It's the same going into every game. pound the rock until the defense commits to stopping the run and then hit Dez, Beasly, and Witten in single coverage. It's tough to stop if we are successful in any way running the ball.

 

Also Randle (who will most likely start if Murray does not) can be a home run hitter and is a better back then most people realize.

Good morning Colts fans! Cowboy fan here and i come in peace. 

 

As the Season goes on, i tend to go on the opposing teams message board just to get a feel of the fans opinions of their team, our team, and the up coming game. As you can imagine in a division with Redskins, Eagles, and Giants...that the opposing fans tend to be hostile and talking a massive amount of junk. Cowboy fan really does have to deal with some pretty bad fan bases lol

 

With that being said, reading your board has been a breath of fresh air. fans here seem to respectful and intelligent...which is CLEARLY a shock to my system LOL Enough that i wanted to join to tell you that much

 

I'm looking forward to/NOT looking forward to the upcoming game lol. Luck and that offense are going to be tough on our secondary....just as i think Romo and our offense will be tough on yours. My fellow fan is torn on if this will be a slightly easier, or slightly tougher game than the Eagles one we just played....and i think it'll be a tougher one. good luck all
