Yes, it's going to be ugly but there's not much we can do about it.  Just hope for few injuries against a very physical team.  It would not surprise me to see someone go down with a season-ender.  And various other injuries of varying sorts and degrees.  If we can escape out of there with our dignity and just a couple dings here and there, then we did more than Cowherd thought we would.  GO COLTS !!!!

Cowherd is consistently anti-Colts the few times I have bothered to listen to him. This really isn't a surprise. Like jvan said, he may be right, or he could be completely wrong. He's just guessing like anyone else. Although it is tough to see it being worse than Luck's pick 6-fest with the Pats last season.

no he is not, he picked the Colts in the AFC champ game.

He actually is very pro-Colts. Had us in his top 10 NFL teams until this week. He says Luck is the best of the young QBs. Even after he said SF would kill us this week, he followed that up by saying he still likes the Colts and thinks we are a solid team. Also, the discussion of the game was in the context of his weekly eliminator picks. His reasoning for picking SF was that they are at home coming off an embarrassing loss on national TV. If the game was at Indy, he would feel different.

 

I happen to enjoy Cowherd--I know a lot of people don't. Either way, he is totally pro Colts and Luck. He just has an opinion about this weeks game that seems otherwise, but it needs to be put in the context of what he is doing. He wasn't just talking about us getting beat badly to bash us, it was because of his opinion of using SF as his eliminator pick this week due more to contextual factors.

 

Vegas has us as 10.5 dawgs. We should probably be hating on them if anyone.

Listen. Their defense isn't that spectacular. GB scored on them, Sea scored on them, Ravens scored on them. I think our offense can absolutely score on them. I posted in another thread that they're giving up on avg 30+ points a game. I believe we can make some plays and this will definitely be closer than some think.

Admittedly I don't listen to him very often nor did I hear the segment in question. However, I definitely remember hearing him bash Indianapolis in the past. Maybe I am getting it confused with a Pacers rant....

He could have in the past, and I'm sure he did or else you wouldn't be saying he did. I started listening to him consistently about a year ago and haven't heard anything overly negative about the Colts or the Pacers.

Now that I think more about it, I think it was a rant he went on about how terrible Pacer fans were due to low attendance while having a good team.

So you're telling me I should start Alex Smith over Luck this week in fantasy?

 

KC plays Philly....I might have regardless

 

I think Luck has either a very good game or a very bad game (no middle of the road). Smith is Smith and won't hurt you but probably won't bring a ton of upside (middle of the road). Do you like to go the horse track or mow your yard on Saturdays?

Yeah, Cowherd loves Luck to an almost unseemly degree. He's always pointing out how much he was asked to do last year, defending the "he turns the ball over too much" argument by pointing out the high # attempts and down field attempts, comparing Luck's reads to the easier reads of the other rookie's, brings on like Cosell who agree... So this isn't a usual opinion for him. He's a Vegas guy, he's going with Vegas. And if Luck plays great and drags the Colts to a win then he can say he told us all along how great Luck was.

You nailed it. I thought it was interesting he chose this game instead of Jags @ 'Hawks.

Been a longgggg time colts fan... But guys use your head here.

49ers are gonna dismantle us... We barely beat the raiders lol

Allen, Thomas, and Vick out FTS???? Get on your horse grigson, we need some legit play makers.

Here's what I'm hoping for- McGlynn and Satele get burned and pummeled so many times by Willis, bowman, and brooks that they make an immediate switch to Holmes and Link so they start the next "gelling" process :) whose with me???

GO HORSE

Might be, but that is not his M.O.  He prides himself on logic and taking emotion out of it.  And his relatively high correct to incorrect ratio.

Oh I know CC. He was in Portland for years before he made the big time. I am not saying he will be right or wrong, I am saying he knows how to stir it up. However, I hope he is wrong in this case.

Yeah, it's classic radio shtick. If the Colts beat the Niners it's going to require an amazing game out of Luck so either way it's an "I knew it all along! I told you so! I told you this last year, I just underestimated my own genius..."

 

Maybe he's saving the Jags for later because they're a bye wk in an eliminator?

U frightened or what?   Good thing the 49ers looked so bad on Sunday or u would be expecting several careers to come to an end.

 

Best time to face the 49ers the QB has looked bad and their defense lost some good players. If all else fails Donald and Ahmad better be ready to man up.

It certainly looks like this could be Luck's worst game ever on paper- tough D is * off after being blown out, we're playing in their house across the country, our rookie guard making his first start gets Justin Smith as his welcoming party....I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Luck had a horrible game.

 

But that's why they play the game. Just because our backs are up against the wall and conventional logic says we'll get smashed doesn't make it so. I'm looking forward to see how we handle the hostile environment. I'm not expecting a win- but if we can play better than we did last year in similar spots, I'll be happy with the progress.
