[AFC South as of Week 8]

Chiefs lose. Colts hold sole possession of second in the conference.

[Colts vs Steelers]

Last time the Colts were 5-2 they went into Pittsburgh the following week and proceeded to get lit up for 51. So lets hope we don't get a repeat of THAT. 

[That play from Jacoby to TY unbelievable]

Best play of his career thus far 

[Week 8 impressions: Brissett]

I’d give him like a C- for that performance but the play to TY at the end automatically makes it a B for me  

 

Incredible play. This had trap game written all over it. Jacoby found a way.

Also Wilson continues to be an issue. There’s no reason a CB should get beat in coverage by a 6’7” TE. It would be understandable if he got beat for a jump ball, but Fells straight up beat him off the line. Haven’t been impressed with this secondary overall. Really looks like Hooker carries them tbh.

 

And yes, Glow sticks out like a sore thumb. He needs to be upgraded at some point. Teams are going to start targeting him if they haven’t already.

 

Still feel the same way about the DT position. Box score doesn’t show it but there were a few chunk runs by Hyde and Johnson that they got way too easy.

 

Turray wasn’t really a loss to this team. Sheard and Houston are a nice duo

You don’t think Turay’s impeccable speed off the edge wouldn’t be useful?

Darnold is playing like Ryan Leaf tonight, good God he looks awful. 

4 picks the pats D is ridiculous 

[4 year anniversary of the worst play in NFL history]

You can get mad at Reich for always gambling on 4th down but at least he doesn’t do THAT  

[You're the new Colts GM, choose your franchise QB.]

I would go Peyton but for the sake of being different I’ll go mahomes.

[Is It Time To Move On??]

Wasn’t he playing DE last year and now he’s in the interior?

[Start a team with seven positions]

Quarterback - Obviously 

 

OT - Protect the Franchise 

 

DE - I feel like along with QB and OT, it should be a default. Every defense is better with a superstar pass rusher 

 

FS - Dome teams like us benefit from a fast style of play. A rangy safety that can make plays (like Hooker) would be invaluable.

 

CB - It adds an extra element to a teams secondary if they just have a guy on defense you can rely on to shut any opposing WR down. Remember Davis in his prime? 

 

TE - Quarterbacks benefit from having reliable tight ends that can make plays in big spots.

 

OG - Sure why not. Maybe I’m boosting because of Nelson, but if you have an elite OG and an elite OT you basically have an elite line. Pair that with an elite QB and you can’t go wrong.

The Niners are legit, and belong in the conversation.

Top team in the NFC with GB and NO close behind. That being said, there’s like 6 teams in the NFC that you can make the argument are the best. 

[Colts almost drafted Champ Bailey in 1999]

Well it’s good that the guy we did take turned out to be pretty good too

Makes sense with the Broncos being bad. Miami game will probably get moved also.

Don’t sleep on em. They’re 2 game winning kicks away from being 3-1.

Collinsworth does have good Xs and Os insight but his gushing over Mahomes and Brady is what gets nauseating for viewers, at least Colts fans. While Mahomes and Brady have earned their praises, when the few words become few paragraphs about them over a broadcast, I can see why viewer fatigue can set in. 

Yeah it's annoying but to be honest whenever he starts rambling I just tune him out and then tune back in when the play starts

I am so happy about the win that I forgot Hill wasn't playing and Watkins left the game. That changes things. I'm hoping that both players are back when the Chiefs play Houston. Mahomes needs to have a good game this coming week. 

Chiefs will crush Houston. I’m confident now in saying that the pats and colts are really the only teams that can beat the chiefs in arrowhead. Houston can match their fire power, but I feel like they need to be at home to beat kc.

The strategy is so simple: play man to man, pressure Mahomes and keep him on the bench. Why don't more teams figure that out? 

Cause it’s not that easy to pull off. The colts pressured with just their front 4. You need a stacked Dline to do that. You need sound tackling. You need creative coverages.

Good catch!   My bad!   I see so many anti-Collinsworth posts around here...

 

Fair enough...   

 

I’ll give myself an Oh, Dear God   

 

People hate Collinsworth basically because he hypes up the other team. Dudes hilarious, and yes, sometimes he says something kinda stupid, but him and Al are still the best prime time calling crew in the biz. 

[Note to Reich/Sirianni....]

Misdirection is a key part of the colts run game. Remember the 4th and 1 Pascal converted on a reverse? I bet the conversation would be the exact same if he got stuffed.

[Most impressive win of the Reich/Ballard era]

Run the Damn Ball and 1-0 is gonna become this teams brand

[This is the lowest amount of points Patrick Mahomes has ever scored]

13. Before that it was 26. 

 

Unreal team defense. The pass rush was insane. The tackling was sound. Made big plays when they needed to (and had some more that got called back ). They did all that against the same dude who put up 51, 31 and 40 against last years super bowl finalists. 

[Official Crow Eating Thread]

I knew they wouldn't go down without a fight. Still thought we were gonna lose. I expected KC to start pouring it on after half to be honest. But that pass rush man. Vicious. Goes to show even the best Quarterbacks can be stifled if you can get to them quick enough.

They also won games with out Luck... The next year. And beat the Broncos again their Superbowl year. 

I remember when Hasselbeck came in and they went like 4-0. Mostly beating trash AFCS teams like the Jags and Texans, but they also beat Matt Ryan in Atlanta. That was pretty funny. 

[Players Ruled Out for Sunday:]

Maybe we can prevent Mahomes from even touching the ball by onside kicking every single kickoff  

[Grigson depressing fact]

I still look at that 2014 roster and get mind blown at how THAT team not only made the AFCCG, but they beat Peyton in the playoffs, in DENVER, something not even Brady could do

Teams are gonna start doing what the Raiders did, stacking the box, blitzing. We're gonna have to try and let Jacoby/the passing game open things up more and not be so reliant on the run.

Hard to do that when you’re missing your top 2 targets.
