I have to admit the ratios are not as one-sided as I thought they'd be, but clearly the Colts have a LONG history of refusing to run the ball in the playoffs that needs to stop.

 

Not this year though - our best chance of getting through the Chiefs and possibly pulling off a stunning upset of the Pats or Broncs is #12's right arm.  We just don't have the horses to think we can beat up the other team.

 

But if you ask me, I'm cool with the new regime making a commitment to running the ball.

Luck: 30 Passes T-Rich/Brown 25+ Carries

 

That should be a sufficient play calling in the playoffs.  Start out passing letting Luck be Luck then let the defense adjust to the run game when we have the lead.

I just hope Pep airs it out enough to keep defense off the line. Its playoff time win or go home play hard not conservative
