Colts @ Bengals

[GoColts8818]

Big game for a couple of reasons.

1. A win locks up the division.

2. A win also puts the Colts up basically two games on the Bengals with three to play in the race for the number three seed.

Will be a hard get especially with the way the Colts have been playing but an important one if they can.

[Deathiltis]

Pagano seemed serious in his post-game speech, hopefully the team works hard and steps up.

[BlueCollarColts]

Hopefully we play Da'Rick over DHB

[TKnight24]

Denver plays the Titans Sunday. Whether we beat Cincinnati or not (Depends who shows up cause they're about as inconsistent as we are) we'll win the division cause there's no way in all that makes sense that the Titans are beating the Broncos

Titans loss secures the division for us. Or a win by us. Either one works

Hopefully, both happen.

This is going to be a very tough game for us and most likely a loss.  We've been crushed by average teams lately and Cinci is pretty good and very capable of putting up big offensive numbers.  We don't have anyone to stop AJ Green.  Their defense is also very good.  Probably 34-13 Bengals victory.

[mintor]

say both .

This is a matchup league. Every game is different based on how personel matches up. Dalton is prone to turn the ball over. We have a shot here.

Can't help but agree here. Though if we can shake this funk we've been in then anything possible

We have a shot, just not much of one.  Bengals have been a lot more consistent throughout the season.  They have 4 losses by a combined 19 points while our last 2 losses have been catastrophic.

 

We will have to play our very best to have a shot at this important win. A loss puts us on track for the 4th seed.

[Canadian Colts]

I seriously think  if we bench satele start mcglynn at center  Link at RG or Reitz RG should help ground game  Promote Lavon Brazil and Da'rick rogers  Demote DHB

[Narcosys]

I hope this is one of those "This is why we play the game, its decided on the field."  kind of game.

[Stephen]

Herme edwards. You play to win the game.

[Stephen]

It seems like since the bye the only teams we beat are divional foes.If that trend continues we go 10-6.

[Brent71]

I said before and I will say it again. I'm putting $500 on the Bengals. Indy matches up terrible with Cincy. I will be sad the Colts lose but I will make $.

[pgt_rob]

I'm guessing another blowout 42-9. Harsh I know.

[Tark The Shark]

I don't see a very good ending to this game. But you never know...

 

We will have to play a sound defensive game, like yesterday and create turnovers.

[The Old Crow]

I'm getting out the old Colts stuff for a second week. Beat the Bengals !

[Franklin County]

Their D against our Oline will be a massacre. I hope Luck survives this game, it will be ugly. But Dalton will throw us a few picks if we can get any pressure up front. (please start Chapman) Aj Green has been quiting on routes lately if he is even semi covered. He doesn't fight for a poorly thrown ball. If Toler is back that should help with him.

If we can stop the run and run the ball, I think we win. They are loaded with playmakers on both sides of the ball. Eiffert is a bad matchup if our lbs try to cover him.

This is a very difficult matchup because we don't have much on offense that can hurt them....

 

...I'm repeating what's been said..but we must attack early..even at the risk of turnovers

 

We cant go I there half-steppin'

 

the good news..Even if we lose, we clinch the division if Tennessee loses at Denver

 

....

[sfergson727]

We are going to march into Cincy and slaughter those hapless Bengals......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.)

 

I am not going to say we have no chance, but we don't have much of a chance unless things drastically change on offense in the next week.  Field goals are not going to cut it.  If we can somehow overcome those dreaded second and 6's which turn into 3 and 16, we might pull it off or at least be competitive.  No more shooting ourselves in the foot, as we are out of feet.

 

Just like my daddy used to say.......................

[CVDGxRAZE]

da rick rogers should play over dhb.......offense needs to improve to win this game,,,,,,,

The WR breakdown was: T.Y. Hilton-53 snaps, DHB-46 snaps, LaVon Brazill-40 snaps, and Da'Rick Rogers-13 snaps. Total of 65 offensive snaps

 

This needs to change big time the next game. Probably Hilton with like 55, Brazill with like 45 and Rogers with 40. Basically bench DHB and move Brazill into his snaps and Rogers into what Brazills were last game.

[James Harden]

We are going to face a really tough team. It going to be like the Cardinals if we don't adjust the way play offense.

[Rick Ferrin]

Bengals have 8 wins, 2 against teams above .500.  We play good ball, should be no problem

[Coltsfanincincy]

I really hope we in.. I made a bet with a friend down in Cincy involving the loser wearing a team colored speedo to a public water park

[Coltswarriors]

If we can magically win this game it will all but lock up the 3rd seed for us. HUGE game.

 

I don't see us pulling it out by the way we've played lately, but I hoping for a miracle.

[jbaron04]

I sense a couple more benchings pat, and DHB

[Coltswarriors]

Bengals have 8 wins, 2 against teams above .500.  We play good ball, should be no problem

 

Problem is we haven't played "good ball" since week 7.

[Creekside]

Bengals are 5-0 at home and beat:

 

 

Steelers:........................ 20-10

 

Packers (with Rodgers): 34-30

 

Patriots:..........................13 - 6

 

Jets:................................49 - 9

 

Browns:...........................41-20

[SilentHill]

We really need this win.

[coltsfanatic24]

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the Colts put up 30 points and beat the Bengals because we play better vs top competition and bad vs the bottom teams. If Rogers can start over DHB and give Luck the reliable wr he needs the Colts will win this game. Rogers is due for a breakout game and it could come vs the Bengals.

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

I'm extra worried about Bernard and Hawkins.... they're going to have a field day on us

[lollygagger8]

I still don't understand how McGlynn got benched over Satele. Move McGlynn to center and take Satele OUT. Geesh. 

[Valpo2004]

This is an important game for the #3 seed.  It's obvious that the 5th seed is going to be a top team, most likely Kansas City.  (Barring a meltdown)

 

The 6th seed is going to be a much worse team.  So getting the #3 seed is important.

 

But I just don't like how this match up works.  Bengals force a lot of turnovers and get a lot of pressure up the middle, right where we are the weakest.

 

Colt's are gonna have to play their best game to have a chance.  

[Ronnie Smith]

Living in cincinnati. I will be at the game. the fans here are by far worse than any fans at any other stadium I have been too. I hope we can pull out a W and take the 3rd seed. If the colts can force some turnovers I think the colts win.

[CanuckColt]

Yeah, the most probable outcome is a loss, putting us at 8-5.

We might as well start buying our AFC South champions gear!

I hope you look good in black and orange...lol.

[colts_100nascar17fan]

No way we stop gio bernard and aj green, marvin jones should get two td's also.
