Colts Final Injury Report @ Patriots

Indianapolis M.A.S.H Colts  

 

Fire up Hines for flex purposes. Rapunzel will be happy - Pascal is going to light it up.  

[CamMo]

No Doyle, Good, Hilton, Moore, Mack, Ridgeway, or Wilson.

 

 

This injury report is depressing going into a game that looked like it could have been competitive 2 weeks ago.

So Clark and Smith as tackles? Yeesh.

Shotgun with the center snapping like snapping to a punter, about 10 plus yards away, so that Luck can see the field for a few seconds before throwing.  

 

Or it is Turbinator time.

I will not be surprised to see AC start.  He's listed as questionable and has 5 straight practices now.  I have a feeling if this were on the old system he would be listed as probable.

[NagelHausForge]

My goodness... What in tarnations did Doyle do to his hip???  

 

I might had to modify my Colts/ Pats drinking game or I might not survive the night!!!

[pgt_rob]

LMAO. This has to be the largest injury report that I've seen. Well, there you go Patriots. Have at us. We have depth players across the board starting Thursday night. Ouch...

Ok, so now let's get into the head of BB.  Most people think the way to attack the Colts is going to be on the edges to exploit the tackles.  So, the Colts are going to counter that by having a TE on one side, use the RB to chip on the other side and have Luck continue with the quick passing game.

 

Against the Patriots that would be a mistake, because what BB is going to do is realize the Colts are going to try to help the tackles and so he is going to attack the strength of the Colts line (Nelson, Kelly and Slausen) and send blitzes from B gap to B gap, he send 4 people or 3 and a stunting dlineman right into those gaps and overwhelm those three, so now, instead of a 4 on 2 scenario (TE/Tackle vs DE or RB/Tackle vs DE) he is creating a 3 on 4 scenario that favors the NE defense and has the added benefit of hands in Luck's face on those short drops and he's also taken the TE and RB out of the play.

 

So to counter that, I think the Colts should line up like they are going to do that but instead of blocking have the TE do a short out pattern, easy throw and catch for Luck, 4-5 yard gain.  Keep doing that until those LBers pull back to cover the pass.  Then go to using the TE and RB to help the tackles and take some shots down field.

It's just comical at this point.

Sincerely doubt he plays.

They would've ruled him out

[Colt Overseas]

At least Anthony Costanzo is questionable..

 

It's really important Hairston plays, I don't think we have anybody else to play in the slot. Pipkins? And with Edelman back.

 

This is a pity, I was really looking forward to this game. But at this stage with our injuries, it would be a tremendous feat to get a win there.

[Jdubu]

This team is made out of cheap Chinese glass. How do we pile up so many injuries every single season? Wow!!

"This team is made out of cheap Chinese glass".  That is funny, what a saying. Unfortunately it is true. 

[icf]

Yikes...just start Brissett.  Luck may get killed with that likely OLine.  

[csmopar]

I'm just gonna start drinking now.  Who knows, maybe we pull an upset, Luck will be forced to not stare down TY for a change. so maybe the others step up (looking at you Ebron and Grant) 

[richard pallo]

I think all of the questionable players will play.   And I wouldn't at all be surprised if it's a close game.  Our defense is very fast and no longer a pushover.  Let's let the dogs out!

I sure hope Desir and Lenord plays or we will need to score 60. I’m certain BB wants to score 80 on this team and his OC has motivation to embarrass this team as well. We will see but this group of injuries every single year is just maddening. 

[Four2itus]

Can't wait to see Captain Andrew Luck on this one......

[coltsva]

What did the Colts do to motivate McWeasel?

If they wanna run up the score, then i would hit Brady on every play.  Take the penalties.... who cares.  

Heck, when our offense is on the field, have Luck throw toward their sideline and hit Brady while he sits on the bench too!

I’m down for that plan winning or losing. I’d love to see Luck whack Tommy with an “errant” throw lol

[Believe blue1306]

Does anyone agree with T.Y being ruled out that we should sign D. Fountain to the roster? Might as well see what he can do!

How funny would it be if Tommy had to wear his helmet on the sidelines?  Maybe give McDinkleberry a couple hits too.

[Mr.Debonair]

So Luck will be looking to Grant, Pascal and Johnson at WR. That is brutal 

[Nesjan3]

Once again...

Thank God we dont have to stare at one of those with a horseshoe on it on our sideline.  Whew!!!!

[Defjamz26]

Rarely do I say this about our team, but there is literally ZERO chance the Colts win this game.

Those lids fit right in along with tassels on men's shoes....in my world of course. 

[IinD]

This'll be fun to watch huh??

 

Here's to hoping these guys have a miracle type performance.

 

Visions of Tommy playing pitch and catch with his guys.

 

Let's hope to keep it close because once they pull away we're dead. There's no quick strike threats from us of any kind.

Nonsense,   there's always a chance.  I have seen bigger upsets than this would be

Nah...Reich knows B.B. is expecting this...So he'll go 'old school' and have Luck do 7 step drops, with Ebron and Swoope doing deep outs to opposite sides of the field while the WR's do quick in curls, and have Luck go deep on majority of passes...lol

Which wide receiver steps up?
