Game Balls

[Reddog]

Game balls to Werner and Brown.  D won this game and those guys made big plays.  O was good at time but too many TO's, although the running game seemed better with Trent.  Education on fair catch to Griff.  Overall a great win.

[Boiler_Colt]

Greg Manusky. Don't know if i've ever wanted to say that before.

The whole defense played big today. add Vontae Davis to the conversation. Had another really good game.

Gotta give a nod to Toler and Davis. The Smiths had much trouble today. 

 

Redding and RJF were stout, they cannot be forgotten. Great team effort. 

 

Whalen.....dude.....you ain't no hero.

Greg Manusky. Don't know if i've ever wanted to say that before.

Agreed, there were some awesome blitz packages, he's found a way to deal with the absence of Mathis.

[SubZero]

Defense gets the game ball.

[HungarianColtsFan]

The flat ball goes to Griff Whalen!

[NewEra]

Adams had another good game. Brown played much better than I thought he would. Werner was distruptive. Luck had some bad throws.

We played pretty sloppy. We could of ran them right out of the building if we clean some stuff up. Got the W at least.

[Dr. Guildo]

Werner gets my defensive game ball. I thought Reggie & T.Y. both had solid games on offense so they can cut the other in half. 

[Mr.Debonair]

That game almost killed me

[PeterBowman]

Defense for me easily.....also gotta give that raven d credit.....theyre legit

[snkdy]

Me too I need to stop stressing so much over games.

Oddly I never felt we were in danger of losing.... so I wasn't all that nervy, more frustrated than anything. I don't know what it was today but our D looked legit.

Reggie had 2 flags and TY did what he was expected to do.  But Werner had a breakout game and that's who should get the game ball.

Sergio too, he was plugged in and really did a great job, loved the 4th down red zone sack.  There will be other games, but this game goes to the D.

Werner

[coltsfanatic24]

Manusky was the x-factor for the game, called some exotic blitzes. I think a few of those would have fooled Rodgers or Peyton, especially the Davis INT. It was a cover 3 zone look but Adams at the last second moved from the middle of the field to Davis side, allowed Davis the inside and jump the route. Flacco had no chance, he was confused a lot during the game.

Steve Smith ended the afternoon with 35 receiving yards. He came into today averaging 107 receiving yards per game. Vontae Davis solid day

[bestQBever]

definitely the entire defense. Great coverage, great pass rush. ( Werner.... damn dude, play like that more often). 

[SubZero]

Ive said a lot about Werner but he looked legit today! 2 sacks, good in the run game. I mean it he looked like a completely different person today.

[pacolts56]

The DBs....I would venture to say that Steve Smith Senior is icing up right about now. :yes:

He also had that tip on the pressure during the 3rd quarter I think it was. Bjoern and Cory were in the backfield all day today, and it made life that much easier on Vontae and Greg to cover the wideouts. Just tremendous defense today. If I had to say one thing, they needed to adjust to the no huddle faster than they did.

[TKnight24]

Let's see him talk this week. Tried to tell him we're not the Panthers secondary

Top 3 #1 CB, Top 3 Nickel CB, & a very solid #2 CB

Get that pass rush going like today and this is a Top 10 defnesedefense easily. Thank goodness they played the full game unlike offense

I'll give them a pass for that TD drive. It's like one of the CFB commentators said "Fast paced teams hate when teams go fast paced against them"

Dose of our medicine that can easily be fixed

Yep, he's really earning that money.

[bigjim79]

D played great can't say enough about them , while Luck had his problems but he still came threw when we needed him no one I'd rather have

I agree on the no huddle. Overall a great defensive effort. Especially against the Ravens who were a 7th ranked offense coming into this game! People can say that it was an ugly game on offense, but our offense can already win games. For our defense to show up, thats big!

[GOCOLTS_ROLLTIDE]

I must eat a plate full of Crow today cus sergio played some great football, werner looked close to the guy we drafted outa FSU. Adams is legit, VONTE DAVIS! ! Our D line is amazing, let's give it up for D Allen, My boy Trent killed today. . And luck probably his worst Game this yr and still had over 300yds and made the plays when it mastered most

[hambone35]

I know it was a collective effort, but my game ball goes to WERNER excellent pressure 2 sacks great job D.

[Dark Superman]

It's just good to see our defense making plays, stopping the run, and collapsing the pocket around the opposing quarterbacks. And we are doing this without Robert Mathis.

[GoColts8818]

Defense as a whole, four sacks, two takeaways, only gave up one third down, and two fourth down stops.

[mintor]

great defense game.

[chrisfarley]

The flat ball goes to Griff Whalen!

Needs a sticky ball.  One more fumble or bad judgement play anytime soon and I'm afraid he's done at that position.

To be fair, this is the first bad game from him I can recall. Still his performance was unacceptable.

Loved that play.  They baited Flacco into that one.  At the snap, Butler basically runs back into a deep cover position (pretty much another safety) and another guy runs into the intermediate route that Butler vacated.  That allowed Adams to slide over.  

 

Manusky gets a game ball IMO.  Those blitzes were FINALLY what I was expecting with Pagano as head coach.  All very well disguised.
