Smonroe Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Yes, I know Cincy was missing it's two big guns. Simms wouldn't let us forget it. Remember, before the game, we thought they were going to run, run, run on us. Admittedly, it's easier to stop the run when you don't have to double WRs. Before anyone says it, I know this is a trend for us. The D plays great when we face a mediocre QB. They still deserve accolades for the performance today!

Moose Of Woe Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I did that after the last CIN game, then we got plastered by PIT. Here's hoping they show up VS Denver, a much taller order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nesjan3 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The analysts always need excuses when we win, simms would not shut up about how Green wasn't playing. If the Bengals go from a playoff caliber team to one that cant gain 300 yards offense and score 10 points because 1 player is missing they have more issues. Nobody wants us to win and this will be evident all week from the "analysts". The Bengals lost because they aren't that good, but in the football world of "gurus and analysts" it will be because they didn't have Green or Gresham. I can almost guarantee you wont hear diddly about how good we played outside of Luck, it will all be about the Bengals and there playoff woes and they couldn't win without Green.

Bluefire4 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hopefully the analysts were the only ones who that Jeremy HIll was going to run all over us. We're not a bad run defense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krunk Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I thought it was a good defensive effort for sure, although I still felt the pass rush could have been better.Denver is not protecting the quarterback real well right now, so hopefully we'll get more pressure next weekagainst Peyton. There's a way we can go up there and win if we are on our Ps and Qs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfergson727 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Great team effort today...they still made some bonehead penalties and mistakes (ahem, BOOM?) but all and all they had the game in control pretty much throughout. Awesome job guys, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21isSuperman Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Run defense was a little spotty at times, especially with setting the edge. Other than that, I think they played well. Butler was also unspectacular, from what I recall. Vontae was Vontae and Toler had a solid game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDColtsfan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Good defensive effort. Now as long as they don't get all big headed and come out flat like we know they are apt to do then they'll be "adequate" to make a run. Play with that "chip" on the shoulder these next few weeks and they give the Colts a chance to win. They CAN do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vontae was Vontae and Toler had a solid gameThat edge setting drove me crazy in the 1st, I think that's why they finally sat Werner more since he was struggling. A lot of people will say they were missing guys but you still have to perform either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOTT Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Dalton doesn't utilize Green in the playoffs anyway. Throwing to green he has 15 completions no TDs and 4 interceptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullsColtsFan1 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The D played awesome! I give them props! Freeman played extremely well! I hope they can somehow contain Peyton and maybe force a turnover or two. I am very nervous though, they haven't been good against top notch offenses this year.
