Grades vs Seattle

[Danfish98]

Huge win against one of the best teams in the league.  If the Colts ever figure out how to play a full 4 quarters they'll be next to impossible to beat.  On to the grades

 

Offense

 

QB: B+   Another tough start and some dropped passes and a lack of running game made things even more difficult but Luck pulled it out in the end.  No INTs and some clutch throws to give him another 4th quarter come from behind victory

 

RB:  C   Not many yards but a huge third down conversion for Richardson.  Not many holes today and the run blocking hasn't looked this bad since last time Satele started.....

 

TE/WR:  B-   Too many dropped passes but TY came up huge and Reggie is as clutch as they come.  DHB was very disappointing.

 

Oline: C-   Very few holes for the run game and too much pressure on Andrew.

 

Defense

 

Front 7:  B-  Too many yards for Lynch.  Not going to slam them too much for all the Wilson runs as they did pretty well against the called option plays.  Wilson is a nightmare to contain when the play breaks down and they struggled.  Wilson is slightly overrated IMO as a passer but if anything he's underrated as a runner.  Glad we only have to see him once every 4 years.  

 

Secondary:  B  Had good coverage many times that was negated by some ridiculous plays by Wilson.  Were shaky early but had a solid final 3 quarters.

 

Special Teams:  B  Very Jekyll and Hyde.  Reed made awful decisions bringing the first 2 returns out from 9 yards in.  Blocked punt is inexcusable.  Horrible first punt as well.  Then they turn around and block a FG and return it for a TD and have excellent coverage the rest of the game.  That's a +5 in direct points and I'll give a B overall.

I will just give everyone an A+ today and reevaluate tomorrow lol..

 

Only thing I really hated was our inability to get Lynch down and Wilson constantly escaping the pocket. His running ability left me worried with 1:55 left in the game

[Nostrils]

Lol

[Freenyfan102]

I give the run game a C+ and the line a C+ becuase let's face it that settle strength is there ddefensive line

Good assessment.  I think containing is something that is going to be a problem for us this year.

 

EDIT:  Mathis is that guy.

I will hold my grade for a later date, only reason, I want to see how healthy we are after the game.

So you just decided to take over my grades thread???

[Coltscek]

No way front seven gets even a c-, two hundred yd rushers, several ten to twenty- five yd runs, little maintenance of rush lanes; SORRY first three quarters!

I was excited with the big win and couldn't be patient.

TEAM A+

 

For today the rest doesn’t matter!

[crazycolt1]

They played tough and got the win. I will give them a grade of "W" for the win.

I guess so. lol 

Just didn't want to make a premature assumption on the guy.  But after today, he has my vote.  Should be at least a 90 on madden. lol

B for our D?  Are you serious?

 

Against one of if not the youngest OL in the league - all but one a replacement?

 

Our front line D gets a C- if not a D!

Obviously I don't grade them as harshly as you, but I think it's pretty encouraging that we can beat a team the caliber of the Seahawks where you can make a reasonable argument that most of the team only brought their "C" game.  If they can bring the "A" game in a couple weeks against Denver it will be a very interesting game!
