I don't know what kind of confidence you have in our defense to make you say the eagles up tempo offense will only score 17 pts.

They have Maclin, Mccoy, sproles, and Ertz. 

Our run Def has improved from last year, but i don't see it holding down Mccoy and sproles.  This includes catching and running.

I know their starting G and T are out, but that doesn't mean anything at this point when our offense can't sustain drives.

 

In the last 3 games, our defense has given up around 120 pts.

3 games? We've only played one. Gave up 31 points to Demver in their house. What they did last year or preseason doesn't matter at all. Not the same defense.

That who makes me nervous RB Darren Sproles. He is so fast, smart, & has great hands. He can do it all & he is why we will lose Monday night IMO. I loved him in New Orleans & he hasn't lost a step in Philly either.

I love my Colts, but speed kills & Darren can still fire off the after burners man. TY Hilton has high velocity for us yes, but HC Chip Kelly has that team so supremely conditioned I'm a little scarred what happens if INDY falls behind early. It's not gonna be pretty man. Sigh...

    • Well this might be a crap shoe Sunday   
    • That’s a nearly 20 year old article.  Not exactly relevant right now with the advancements in techniques and rehab.     He’s the youngest QB in the league, with the least experience in college.     This is his tryout year.  Have a little patience.   
    • I Respectfully disagree.  I do agree that Shane is trying to win games.   What I don’t agree on is that he’s using AR to his full advantage to do so.  It may be injury concern, or that he feels AR isn’t quite back to 100% from surgery.  But he’s not using him like he did last season.    I’m not saying it’s wrong, and I hope it’s for the best.  But I think ARs development is more important to the franchise than winning right now.   I gave the example of Daniels.  They’re letting him run, it definitely helps them to stay in games.  That may not be a smart strategy if he ends up like RGknee, but you can see they’re trying to win now.  
    • To use an off season surgery as an excuse is bollocks....    He needs to step up his game and start performing. In many ways he honestly looks like one of the 5 worst QB´s in the league and again, to use a shoulder surgery as an excuse is just pure bollocks.   There simply is no development in his game, and his huge upside is what? tell me?    I don´t think one second that we will ever come close to winning anything with him as our QB.   and to make things worse read this: https://www.espn.com/nfl/columns/story?columnist=pasquarelli_len&id=2176813
    • And yet, PFF didn't grade him all that high last year.  My response to this is that the scheme is designed for the MLB and the SS to make most of the tackles.  And they do. But last year, Franklin allowed a 77% completion rate with 10.2 yards per completion, and 7.9 yards per target.  In summary, he makes a lot of tackles by scheme, but he also allows a lot of completions. I don't think of him a Great.  Or even Good.  He's Fair.   https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/F/FranZa00.htm
