6 sacks

[OLD FAN MAN]

sapp on nfl tv said luck will be sacked at least 6 times tonight. agree or disagree with him?

[MTC]

I guess it's possible.

[backshoulderfade]

Not even a little bit. Broncos pass rush wont be all that.

[jvan1973]

I doubt he will be sacked 6 times. Luck has wheels and can move around. If the coaches telegraph our plays like last year, he will be under a lot of pressure though

[HtownColt]

Not the way Luck avoids pressure, he might be hit that many times but not 6 sacks

[Blue Horseshoe]

Mooch predicted Houston will get Griffin 8 times also so it sounds like they are expecting a bad day for the top of the 2012 draft.

[GoDeep]

I can see it. I think AL will be under constant pressure. Gotta hit short passes screens and ACTUALLY have ground game to slow the rush.

[OLD FAN MAN]

if luck is under that much pressure it will be hard to win, unless trent has a big day

[SLILLINGTON10]

Miller coming off knee surgery and Ware is not the same monster he was before. lets all come back down to earth. Denver's defense is not that great, heck i wouldn't even call them good at this point.

[BrentMc11]

All I can say is......If this happens, Luck is playing on one leg.  He can run over people...not just around.  Just let me teach him how to 'baseball slide!!!'     !!!

LOL

[Blue Horseshoe]

I wish the Colts would do something about the offensive line to make predictions like this completely ridiculous. 

It is inexcusable the way they let Luck get beat up week after week and it cannot continue forever without putting him at serious risk of a severe injury.  He looks like he could be the best quarterback in the league in a few years and the main thing which could derail him from reaching his potential is a bad injury because they have done nothing to protect him.

[Kenny]

Denver's D is unknown at this point. All the they are going to kill us and they are going to suck talk needs to just flat out be shut up until there is some actual playing done.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

It was only a matter of time before Big Ben was hurt. And so it shall be for Luck if we don't fix our issues.

[BigQandTheManiac]

all ik is if we win this game....A LOT of ppl are gonna owe us a HUGE apology....with all this "they have no chance" garbage 

[BlueCollarColts]

I disagree, Ware is overrated based on his name, he is good, but he isn't J.J. Watt out there, and our tackles are good. 

[oldunclemark]

Now that s possible

Nobody has said we have no chance......you cant say that

[Jay Kirk]

Wheres Lou Brock when you need him ?

[BrentMc11]

Our pass blocking was not an issue with our 1st unit line.  No way is he sacked 6 times.  I smell a couple audible TDs instead.  I am not in the least scared by Denver's secondary.  We WILL score on them....

 

I will be astonished if this is a blowout.  But......anything can happen if we do not show up and play.

[BlueShoe]

Pass protection is not our problem. It is our run blocking that is suspect.

 

This prediction is ludicrous. 

[BrentMc11]

Wheres Lou Brock when you need him ?

Lou Brock...Davy Lopes....Just say no to the Pete Rose slide

What worries me most is the thin air in that location.

Basically what Jvan said, Im expecting he gets sacked once, Im hoping however he takes no more then 5 QB Hits. Have to stay out of 3rd and long and be able to run when we try to run. I think the Colts have all the weapons in the world to keep up with the Broncos, Its just a matter of execution. running the ball when we need to and our Secondary holding there own and Luck finding AND TAKING the open receiver, Im hoping to hold Peyton to 300 yards passing if he throws for his average last year of 41 passes...That would be 7.3 yards per reception...Im expecting a little closer to 8 though, Anything over 8? and its gonna be a longgggggggg night

[BrentMc11]

I always hated going to Denver.  I even had a hard time breathing when sleeping.

 

I am sure that we will be rotating as much as possible on the defensive front.  OL...notso much.  TY will need O2 when he lights em up deep.....     !!!

Pretty good analogy ,if we hold Peyton down we win IMO

Outta Likes but spot on.

[optimusprimetime]

I hope that is not the case!!!!!!!

[grimluck72]

I bet he gets sacked maybe twice........prob less.

[bestQBever]

I see him getting sacked 2 or 3 times at most. He might get hit a lot more though..

[tenbears1971]

This game is not a crucial win for us but it is definitely a barometer game for how the front office did in the off season on the O Line and our defense. I hope I'm wrong but I see us abandoning the run by early in the the 3rd quarter.

[Deathiltis]

Lol AT LEAST? Sapps a clown

Sometimes I find that ex players from a commentator standpoint know less about teams and the game in general than the fans do!  Come on Warren, 6 Sacks please......

[oldunclemark]

Colts have an average line at best...

..Denver may have 3 all-NFL players in Ware, Miller and T-Knighton (Pot Roast)

Hoping that Ware is too old to play or that Miller is on weed....is just that, Hope is not a play.

Trent and A, Bradshaw have to have strong nights picking up outside rushers. Watch for TJ Ward to blitz yup the middle as well

Colts have to run someplays that get outside the hashmarks quickly to slow the Broncos.

But if they cant run at the DEs, they cant move the ball...

Broncos goal is not so much to sack Luck but to rush him into in completions...giving Denver more posessions

12 posessions for Denver and Colts cant win

[oldunclemark]

What worries me most is the thin air in that location.

I agree Jay..

San Diego plays Denver well, in part, because they play in Denver every season...

That's why this has to be a low-scoring game for the Colts to win...The more TDs and more posesions,.,.and the More Denver wins by

...The air is a problem for visitors in the 2nd and 4th quarters.

Denver's players obviously live there...it has absolutely no effect on them..

Its why Denver has won 65-70% of their home games all time

[krunk]

They keep saying things on the television that just baffle me.  " The Colts are starting an entire offensive line that hadn't even taken a single snap together in the preseason"  Really?  They pay you to commentate and yet you don't even know what you're talking about at all!  And this was from Chris Carter a hall of famer. SMH

 

Everyone on this line has been together for every snap of the preseason except for Shipley who may or may not be starting tonight.

[NewEra]

Yeah, and 3 are starters from last year. C'mon man!

[BigQandTheManiac]

Nobody has said we have no chance......you cant say that

quite a few ppl have said it...even some of our own forum members...maybe not flat out said it.. but they have insinuated it....

[thedude]

I doubt he will be sacked 6 times. Luck has wheels and can move around. If the coaches telegraph our plays like last year, he will be under a lot of pressure though

Well, he has been sacked about 75 times in his first two seasons. He hasn't been eluding sacks as much as you suggest.
