Feel sorry for Luck. We need to get the ball out quickly.

Hope no offensive lineman in the next game gets hurt. They wont have anyone left to fill in the spots.

I'm kinda anxious to see how Clark does.

 

This will be a big test for him.

[pgt_rob]

Oh Boy.. Whew.

Good luck with that!

[WarGhost21]

I'm expecting TY and our TE's to have a good game. Rhodes won't follow TY to the slot and Waynes and Smith both being out leaves them defenseless in there

[runthepost]

And AP is playing 

[WarGhost21]

Dorsett might break out too. He will be matched up against Newman a lot, and while he has been playing well, he's getting old and isn't nearly as fast and explosive as Phillip. Overall, with Harrison Smith out, our deep-ball offense should do quite well as long as our patchwork O-line gives Luck any time

No just stop

Stop what? Have you all given up on him so much that I'm not even allowed to be optimistic for him anymore?

Happiest man alive... Sam Bradford,  who will now torch our D while AP proves to be Super Recovery Man and run all over our D every play Bradford decides to hand off.

[BullsColtsFan1]

I honestly don't think the line can be much worse.  I honestly thought the Colts had a chance in this game before the AP news broke.  I think he'll run all over us and Bradford will make just enough plays.  I think the Vikings win 23-17.  Whats up with Art Jones?  He's played in like 4 or 5 straight games now he's hurt again, as usual.

I have absolutely no concern about AP.

I know people rag on the Colts OL but from what I understand Minny's is far worse.

The score will be like 24 to 10

My bad. I forgot that when TY dropped a ton of balls in his second season we all gave up on him too.

Castonzo, Harrison, Kelly, Haeg, Clark against the defense with the 4th most sacks in the NFL.  Pray for Andrew Luck

You think the Colts will only score 10?  I think they'll score a few more than that.

Really?  Just don't think he's the same player?  Or he won't be as effective in his first game back?  Or have never really been a fan?

I do that every day. We're really turning him into another David Carr. 

 

I just pray he gets a ring before his career ends

No we're not. I think people should go back and look at the career of David Carr...

No, he thinks the Colts will only score 24.

1) I don't think he's the same player, especially coming off of injury. He wasn't very effective this year before he got hurt.

 

2) The Colts defense generally does well against straight path, downhill runners. It's the shifty, elusive backs that give us more trouble. 

 

3) The Vikings aren't running the ball well. They average 73 yards/game and 3.0 yards/carry.

 

It's certainly not beyond the Colts to make a bad team look good, but I don't think AP is the problem. If they actually used McKinnon as a change back, then we'd be in trouble.

He as averaging 1.8ypc before the injury so I'd assume that's why some aren't concerned 

 

But if there's any team in the NFL that's famous for getting people back on track when they're in a slump, it's definitely the Colts

All really good points.  If your right and the Colts don't let the Vikes develop a run game and don't turn the ball over themselves, I think the Colts can win this one.  A few huge If's though.  It's just really hard for the Vikings to score. 

[indyagent17]

I would like to see us give the running game a really good look which should bring the safeties up. If we cannot run then I am scared for Luck. We will need to keep a TE on the the line to keep him from being pounded 

[Nesjan3]

i like how we are resting all our injured players, let the rooks play, give them some snaps, and hopefully the new coach and gm have some film on Grigsons team

Jim will use the injuries as an excuse and keep them both 

[1959Colts]

I hope it's true, that Clark gets the start.

Lets see what he's got... for better or worse.

Didn't TY have more than 2TDs his first 2 seasons? How about an undrafted rookie getting more opportunities than a first round draft pick. Dorset is not that good

Colts will score between 10-20 more likely 10

You see the line that will be in front of an injured Luck? That's why I said 10

Dorsett might not even play

What happened to Austin Blythe?

[will426]

Ap is the same player as before and still a threat the thing that isn't a threat is their line which is why ap has had a down year
