If you allow me moment that Miami (3-0) is really not a team

...going by yards allowed despite the record..

..we cant be the team that is mediocre at home against Oakland and Miami and then strong on the road against a team like SF...

I enjoyed last year but we beat Houston and GB...and lost to the Jets and Jax.

Are we doing that again.....so different from week-to-week...?

I'd like to see us take out Jax the way Seattle did....If you are not consistenlty good..you are not really good...

I agree about the consistent part. I think we just couldn't find the grove and balance this year starting off, kinda like last year due to brand new rookie QB and rookie receivers. I believe we have found our game and will know how to stay consistent with our new RB additions. I have confidence we will beat Jacksonville and Houston on the road.

You know what they say "it is not who you play, it is when you play them".

 

When we play a team with a new identity earlier in the season with enough offensive system changes, you are figuring yourself out and the other team out at the same time. Both the Raiders and Dolphins have had enough changes in the offseason, so it took us a while to get adjusted to what we were offensively first along with adjusting for the opponent.

 

The 49ers, we knew what the 49ers were made of, and it seemed like we figured out what we offensively were made of as well. The curve is pointing up moving forward

It has nothing to do with who beat who. Its about the execution on game day and no team is as good as you think or as bad as you think.

I know this frustrates those who like to rank teams but that's how the NFL really is. If you didn't have talent you would not be in the NFL.

Which is a different way of saying what the 2 above posters said:)

Perhaps Miami and Oakland are good teams, we don't really know yet.

But accept for a moment the probability (AND ITS HIGH) that Miami is not SF and Oakland certainly is not....

...we need to (and its not a lot to ask this week) be dominant 2 weeks in a row.

...we cant let Jacksonville (0-3) stay in the game.....in Indy....we're a playoff team.......

Miami just beat Altanta..so I think they are better than Mediocre.  Yards per game means absolutely nothing.  Points allowed/scored is the only stat to look at.

Games are all about matchups.  Sometimes you might be a great team, but do not match up well against what many consider a 'lesser' opponent.  It's how upsets are made.  And while not plaentiful, upsets happen frequently enough.  And the Parity in the NFL is closer than many believe.  That is why Colts and Chiefs can go 2-14 one year and next year Ball like gangbusters.

ridiculous...

different teams match up differently, all 32 teams in the NFL have rosters filled with PRO's, that's why they actually play the games...

Me too, Buck....you probably know how I feel about the pass-first truth of today's NFL

..and how good a passer Andrew is...

But 'Chuck and Pep' (sounds like a steakhouse) want to be run-first and SF struggled to stop it .....we executed the game plan..

..Now, against somebody like Denver.....we'll have to channel our inner passing gene

Division games can be tricky, I expect a blowout but MJD made most of his career earnings against our beloved Colts, so you never know. I am interested to see the game tonight, I think the Raiders may be highly underrated especially on defense.

Without Crabtree & V Davis that isn`t the Mighty SF that we beat. Not even close.

Their D missed some critical tackles, had some penalties that hurt, were on the field 35+ minutes and Bradshaw showed why he has a SB ring. It is just that simple.

I just hope its that simple this coming week, is my point

I wouldn't let the Miami loss get you down.

a good point..If Miami is an 11-5 team....that wasn't a bad loss.

But I dont think they're good..we'll see..

By the way..we need someone to take them down...we lose any tiebreaker with Miami

If we don't win the division...we need Miami to take some hits....starting next week at NOLA

3-0 is misleading Lolo...remember you said what you just said here.

The Miami team I saw at Indy looks like an 8-8 team

All I'm saying is you have to give Miami a little credit, and I feel better about losing to them after they went and beat Atlanta.  Honestly with the way their division is looking right now, I think 8-8 is the worst they could finish. I see them going 4-2 and maybe 5-1 in their div.

I hope what Colts fans are seeing is a new defensive scheme & this year a new offense scheme coming together & gelling... Historically the Niners haven't covered the spread the week following a Seattle game, but this young Colts team still put together the most complete game they have played...

Hopefully it is a sure sign of things to come!!!

 

I expect more of the Bradshaw/Richardson show... I thought it was awesome yesterday & I will thoroughly enjoy being one of the most dominant run games in the league, it will open up big pass plays down the road....

Miami is better than 8-8 ,but IMO we gave that game away.Vin. missed another yesterday good thing it wasn't a close game.

other than the ugly luck INT, i don't really thing Luck played that badly. we just choked a little bit in crunch time at LOS.  I think we are pretty good at home and I look to the Seattle game to be nationally televised before it's all said and done.

If that's the way it works out....we'll be that chameleon that adapts to what the other side cant stop that day...

..and bank on a constant 'D'.....we're back in the playoffs

..and thank you...I forgot we're out of town next week...///I want to see another 27-7....Businesslike..TCB..

Conservative teams sometimes play to the level of the competition......

I hope Chuck isn't stone cold against lighting someone up early with our all-pro passer

I don't think the Colts found themselves before the 49er game and the Dolphins are better than expected( by most )

Our team is in a good place rightnow.

Miami's going to lose at NOLA...and they'll have trouble with Baltimore..

The Dolphins will have major problems with Cincinnatti...

I dont see a division team they'll sweep...and I dont see them beating NE at all...

the game at Pittsburgh wont go well..

////Arizona was 4-0 last year

      What I’m reading on him the Pacers did get good value. Looks like he will need time to develop but he is in the right situation to do that. The pacers are stacking some quality young players that will prove to be more outstanding depth or assets if they choose to make a trade. Very exciting time for the team right now.

      I’m not a religious person, but since you’re an educator I think you’re doing Gods work!   In these crazy insane times we’re all living in you’re doing one of the toughest jobs on earth.  And you’re teaching perhaps the most difficult generation to deal with.     From a distance it feels like you’re being very unfair to you.  I’m hoping in time you’ll see yourself in a completely different light.    Someone highly thought of.  A leader in the community.  A protector of young minds.   I couldn’t admire a teacher more.

      You are too self-deprecating. You are one of the most respected and bright members here. You should never feel that you are failing. I'm sure your wife and children don't feel that way.  Indiana does not pay teachers what they deserve. But money is overrated. Having good morals and good character should be valued a lot more. JMO.

      They make a heck of a lot more money than I do. Even those on the practice squad are making life changing money.    To be completely honest, as an educator I feel more like trash nowadays. One of those moments where I feel like I’m failing as a man, a husband, a father and a teacher. I would absolutely never consider an honest working NFL player as trash.

      Food for thought… Once again, you continue to be your own worst enemy.     The Colts overall TE room is loaded with young players most of whom have had very little playing time for a variety of reasons.   So if you want to say the room might not be ranked high, that’s fair.    But you don’t say that.  You call them “trash”.  Why you feel that’s appropriate is a mystery.   Whenever you try the internet tough guy approach it typically blows up on you.     No one is trash.     You ignore the last three years and the QB and HC carousel the Colts have dealt with.  All of which has impacted the Colts weapons, especially the TE’s.   Ballard has publicly talked about how promising he thinks his TE room might be.   Woods, Granson, Ogletree, Mallory and MAC.    Only MAC is questionable and that’s because the salary hasn’t matched expectations.  But the first four?   All are promising.   They’re just young and looking for opportunity.  But they are NOT trash.     There’s a difference.
