keys to beating chargers.

[Stephen]

Get to rivers. Throw deeP to hilton. Run all over them.

[Everyone]

Luck passes, receivers catch and score, Rb's run and score, Defense gets sacks Int's and don't let other team score.

[TKnight24]

Just fall behind early. Chargers always blow the lead. We do all our scoring in the 4th quarter.

That's how you beat them

[coltsforlife123]

I look for us to have a great run game, I think T-rich is gonna have a breakout game on Monday night football with everyone watching.

[methodicaleddie]

Speed up the play on them.  Their defense is very suspect.  Keep possession by running the ball straight down their throat.  Richardson is going to do some nice things.

[tony1287]

We need to run more hurry up offense. Seattle didn't seem to have an answer for it

[TYtheMan13]

All I know is I cant wait till the game because of the fact I'm going to it...first ever nfl game, Hilton jersey all ready to go 

[Ja'Crispy]

Run the ball and force Rivers into making errant throws.

[Happy2BeHere]

You know I don't understand these threads...here let me 'splain it for y'all

There is no key(s) [plural] to beating the chargers...or any team.

There is but one simple key to beating any team...are you ready for it? You might want to sit down for this one....

SCORE at least 1 more point then they do.... BAM! Problem solved from my end.

[coming on strong]

chargers d - line is no joke , but rivers is a pick magnet this could be a trap game.   I expect the chargers to come out on fire, then rivers throw 3 4th quarter picks one being a pick 6.

[Vance]

Let them get up on you 21-0 at the half. Then you've got them right where you want them.

[jameszeigler834]

just don't let them do anything all game long but I think this will be another close game could be wrong but you never know.

[UKColt13]

Force mistakes from Rivers with tight coverage for our DBs. Put pressure on Rivers, force bad throws. Strong play from the front 7, shut down Matthews and Woodhead.

 

Create running lanes. Run the ball through said running lanes. Disguise our runs better by running form the spread with no FB, not just from the power I. A lot of T-Rich's longer runs were out of 3 wide sets. Exploit the Chargers secondary which has looked bad thus far. Utilise TY and DHB deep. Get Fleener involved in mismatches.

 

Looking at the Chargers message boards for a while will give you an idea of their fan's expectations going into the game. They're NOT expecting much. Not many of their fans are predicting this to be even close. Interesting.

 

Prediction:

 

Colts 34 - 17 Chargers

 

Luck 304 Yds 3TDs no picks

Trent 23 carries 112 Yds 1TD

 

Defense: 4 Sacks, 2 picks.

[NagelHausForge]

I think the game will hinge on creating pressure on Philip "Cry Baby" Rivers and establishing our run game early to help slow their pass rush down.

 

I think with the year Mathis is having and the fact that Rivers isn't too mobile of a QB the Colts should be able to pin their ears back and get after him.

 

I haven't watched much of the Chargers this year so I am not sure how dominant of a run game they have.

 

Oh and as always... score more points.

[oldunclemark]

We need to run more hurry up offense. Seattle didn't seem to have an answer for it

We are much better when we are not trying to control the ball..

..I think we only got 58 plays Sunday...

SD is vulnerable...little rush.,..questionable corners..

This is a crucial game. we already lose a tiebreaker with Miami....we cant let SD (and Denver) hold that over our heads, too

[Devildog]

I'm from San Diego and that team is a joke. Many of my friends are Charger fans and most of them don't even like Rivers. I asked them who they think would win and they said the Colts would beat the Chargers hands down.

[lollygagger8]

I really wish Freeney was still playing so we cold just run left the entire game and run up 1000 yards lol. 

 

I'm also glad Sproles is no longer on the Bolts.

 

If we play nickel, put Butler on Antonio Gates. If not, put Freeman on him.

 

One of our DB's will pick off Crybaby Rivers. There, I said it. 

 

I also agree with the no huddle, and let's let T-Rich run out of a WR formation instead of a power formation with a stacked box every single time. 

[cmgww]

Billy Volek isnt there anymore, right?

[BPM_Colt]

Hope to see more hurry up/no huddle offense.. And work in some 1 back sets for TRich running the ball

[pgt_rob]

Danny Woodhead is looking pretty decent out there so I suspect them to run the ball a lot. You know they are going to be watching us on film knowing we have Butler, Davis, Toler, and Howell looking for that Pick.

 

TRich needs to step up big in this game.

[Blackhawk4]

Defense does whatever possible to make them score a FG on each drive rather than a TD. Chargers offense has been really good, but if we can hold them to field goals every now and then it will be a lot easier. Their defense for the most part has been mediocre, so the offense has to make the most of each drive and hopefully can score 30+.

[Buck Showalter]

All I know is I cant wait till the game because of the fact I'm going to it...first ever nfl game, Hilton jersey all ready to go 

I will be there too... T-Rich jersey ready to go!!! not first NFL game, but first time seeing Luck!!!

 

I don't want to talk about the last time I saw the Colts in San Diego...
