Will Mathis Play tonight?

[kansascolt]

Sorry if this should go in another thread but I couldn't find anything other than he was limited in practice this past week? Anyone hear anything?

[Jackie Daytona]

Just that he is "trending"  I expect he will be a "gametime" decision honestly.......maybe we will see him in 3rd and longs tonight......I would think they will be pretty conservative with him..

[pgt_rob]

Probably shouldn't play him yet unless they only plan to work him in a few snaps at a time. Need him for week 6 the most in my opinion. Going to need all the help we can get to get over that hump.

[SilentHill]

I hope so, because without pass rush this could get ugly for the colts real quick.

[COLTS449]

I think he'll play tonight, but obviously we'll work him in slowly and just give him a few snaps. It'll be a week or 2 before he's out there starting.

The Patriots beat the Bills, while the Bills destroyed us. We have no chance against the Patriots. Belichick, Bardy and Gronk are too good. Also, week 6 wont mean anything if we are falling behind from the start. Need Mathis now in order to stay in the playoffs hunt. Or do you prefer to at worst miss the playoffs or at best play away from home throughout the playoffs?

[Smonroe]

I just consulted my Magic 8 Ball.  It said NO.

 

ESPN and the NFL Network will now be using it as an unnamed source.

I had no idea you were his doctor.

Any given Sunday/Monday/Thursday in the NFL. Things happen and we desperately need a pass rush. That is how you rattle good QBs. We've beaten the Patriots before, it's not like we haven't. Just has been a bit.

Pass rush will be much better tonight. They focused too much on Taylor's mobility so it was more of contain than a pass rush

I have Henry Anderson & David Parry combining for 3 sacks tonight

exactly but I hope we fair well against Brady & Big Ben as well. I think we also play the NFC south eh not too sure but if so Bree's and Ryan will def need some pressure on them.

We have the Patriots if they are constituted as you say......  I mean, Belichick and Gronk are scary, but Bardy will just sit in the pocket singing ballads of chivalry and strumming his lute......easy pickin's

Exactly look at the all the crazy games yesterday!  Jags, Raiders, Buccs, Redskins etc

[crazycolt1]

I think he will dress and be on the side lines. I have no clue as to how many plays he will be it but maybe having him dress will fire up the defense a little?

Yep!

Saints defense won't be a problem

Today's award for worst football coverage goes to Saints corner Delvin Breaux http://t.co/FNEcLDRR9W

[Jackie Daytona]

Wow.....poor Breaux..... obviously lost the ball in the lights, but that's just bad......lol

That logic doesn't work in the NFL. I suppose the Redskins are the team to beat in the NFC because they beat the Rams who beat the Seahawks? It wouldn't surprise me if the Bills miss the playoffs and the Colts get hot and get the 2nd seed.

Exactly.  Two things that are certain: There's no transitive property in the NFL, and the teams playing in September rarely are the same teams playing January.

Dude all teams play in September where have you been ???

[Spider2-Y-Banana]

Everything I read says questionable.  I hope they don't rush him back...we need him long term!

I might agree after tonight and next Sunday.  But so far, no.

[ColtsLegacy]

Are you serious with this nonsense? Are you new to football, or sports in general?

[ColtStrong]

Well, there are a lot of young fans around here who haven't been watching sports as long as we have. But anyway, yeah, nonsense.

[shakedownstreet]

so the colts could metamorphose into, say, the jets?  

[John Waylon]

I'm gonna guess no. I expect the Jets to go run-heavy and try and keep Fitzpatrick from passing. 

 

If he does play, it's going to be very few snaps. 

[NewEra]

I dropped Jets D for colts D for this game! Let's get'er done fellas!!

[John Waylon]

He IS active tonight, per Mike Chappell.

[ColtStrong]

It's confirmed that Mathis will play tonight!

[Farns01]

I am anxious to see a full time Mathis. He's famous for his sacks but I think he is great against the run. He is able to snake his way down the line of scrimage and make good tackles. So having Mathis improves both run and pass defense.

[azcolt]

Haven't spotted him during the first series.

[COLTSFAN12to13]

Trent Cole and Mathis both suck as well..
