The Official *Colts vs. Jaguars* Thread

[bap1331]

So here is the plan!

 

MJD is probably one of the better runningbacks in the league and hard to stop. Today was his first game so he was alittle rusty, so he will be back in a lot better health and more prepared. We just need to figure out how to shut him down and I guess the only way is to contain him with no blitzing or he will find an open field.

 

And then again the offensive strategy is to tire the defense out like we did with the 49ers and we should be fine. Any other suggestions?

 

Please don't be all arrogant because we beat the 49ers today, its time to move on and go by a game to game basis. Thanks!

A litke early

[TKnight24]

Our pass rush will be better cause today we played contain. Next week we're gunning for Henne or Gabbert.

Just gotta play fast, physical, disciplined, & smart like we did today and we'll walk outta there 3-1

[BronxColtNYC]

Victory Monday?

[Dustin]

MJD has played since the start of the season.

[PrincetonTiger]

It could get ugly

[cmgww]

Never say never in the NFL...the Jags have played us tough seemingly every year. If we come to play it should be a stomping. But they always seem to have our number at least once a season. The Colts have to build on today and not let up

[HtownColt]

Cover Cecil Shorts he has been their only playmaker so far. Had 143yards today and 93yards last week

[Hoosiernsavga]

I'm going to make the short drive to the game from here in Savannah, Ga. Sporting my new Richardson jersey

Go Colts!!!

rite don't not underestimate any team...like last year when the colts beat the packers..the next week they got blown out by the jets...

[Tark The Shark]

This has the potential to be a trap game. 

 

All depends on how the coaches prepare the team.

 

We looked like sharp today because of the preparation. 

[ReMeDy]

Their best player I'd argue isn't even MJD... It's kicker Josh "Scooby Doo" Scobee, aka Bane. This guy is a beast. We already know the details, but as a reminder:

 

In 2008, during a game against us, Scobee hit a 51-yd'er to win it.

 

In 2010, Scobee made a 59-yard game-winning field goal on the final play of the game to beat us 31-28, breaking his previous record of 53 yards. It set a new franchise record.

 

In 2011, Josh Scobee kicked four field goals to lead Jacksonville to a 12-7 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Three of Scobee's field goals were over 50+ yards, including two field goals of 54 yards each. Scobee's three 50+ yard field goals tied an NFL record for most 50+ yard field goals in a single game.

 

What's really scary is everytime he scores, his kicks have plenty of distance. This guy could kick them from 65+ and still probably make it.

It won't be a trap game for Landry...he will be begging to hit someone.

[John Dee]

I totally agree with this being a trap game...

 

But, coaches don't get players motivated.     Players make it happen.    This team is young, they responded VERY well to the Miami loss...      It will be VERY interesting to see how they respond to a BIG WIN.

 

Jax ALWAYS plays INDY tough.   And with Seattle looming?   I hope Indy's leaders really don't let this young team bask in the glow for too very long.

I think Vince Lombardi would disagree with you on that statement.

[Tark The Shark]

As long as Landry is healthy, I can definitely see him hitting someone.

 

And with Howell playing well for him, we have some insurance behind Landry.

Howell looked like he has serious potential.

[Tark The Shark]

Howell looked like he has serious potential.

 

Howell definitely fits in our defense well. 

 

I wouldn't seeing him, Bethea, and Landry on the field at the same time in 3 safety sets.

ugh don't remind us...the worst part was that Mark Sanchez was their quarterback...

[Moose Of Woe]

So here is the plan!

 

Step 1: Show up.

Step 2: Profit.

[Nobody]

If Vontae plays well we should have the passing game shut down.

MJD will run wild as always. Force turnovers (again Vontae, as they'll look to CS3 when under pressure) and try to contain MJD if we can. With no running threat at QB let the OLBs pin their ears back most of the time.

On offense just do what we've been doing. Be efficient, limit turnovers.

[Jules]

We tend to play them better in Jax then in Indy I always felt.......

[NDcolt]

Yes no worries the game is in JAX

[CCH]

I'm going to be at the game! Last time I went to a Colts game we were 0-13 playing the Titans, and the time before that was MNF in Miami. So I'm 2-0, we got this! :-)

[bap1331]

ya, well we didn't have a running game back then. So MJD had all the time to run all over us.

The difference now is that our running game is now good enough to suck up the clock and they wont have all the time in the world to run over us because then they wont score...lol

[CjMcGirt23]

MJD is trying to ruin my fantasy team. I hope he continues that trend this week

[GoColts8818]

Keep in mind we lost to the Jags last year at HOME.  If we don't play well we could still lose this game. 

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Considering the team has moved on from the last opponent and is focused on the upcoming one, I speckon I oughta do the same.

 

We should roll these clowns in short order. But...we shoulda done the same to the Raiders too.

 

Hopefully Luck stays ticked off....Richardson has a great week of preparation...and this turns into a glorified scrimmage where we can work on everything Pep Hamilton wants to.

[The Old Crow]

I am picking the Colts this week !!!!

[GoDeep]

Indeed they have had our number and played us tight.

 

However, we have had a complete overhaul...I don't think they are used to playing "New" Colts Football against us.

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully.

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

I am picking the Colts this week !!!!

Wow, aren't you a daredevil 

[The Old Crow]

Wow, aren't you a daredevil

Funny

[Warhorse]

I reckon they will get their yards on the ground. Jags are petty good in the secondary, but as the game progresses, they will have to cheat in and defend our now legit run game. Andrew with 2 TDS in the air after mid 3rd quarter.

[crazycolt1]

I think Vince Lombardi would disagree with you on that statement.

Kind of hard for Vince to disagree with much since he is dead.

[NewEra]

They used to kill us with Fred & MJD. That's who raked up that 375. I say we return the favor!

[jbaron04]

mjd 2.4 ypc and super blaine is coming to town cecil short average 19 ypc so lets contain him lol 

[Guest TeamLoloJones]

Just to throw this stat out there:  Luck at Stanford over 3 years: 957 rush yards 7 Tds...Luck in NFL over 1 year and 3 games: 355 rush yards 7 Tds

[lollygagger8]

With Gabbert starting, just stack the box against MJD and make Gabbert try to beat us with his arm. 

 

As far as Gabbert trying to beat us with his arm.....

 

[Valpo2004]

Just make sure MJD doesn't get loose and we should be fine.  Gabbert is starting, so that should help.  

 

Management doesn't want to take the risk that Henne might accidentally win a game.  

[Valpo2004]

I'm starting Brian Hartline over TY Hilton this week in fantasy, so I fully expect TY Hilton to have a career day against the Jags. 

 

Unless of course I change my mind, then he won't ever see the ball.
