PTI asking Tony Dungy "Are Colts as good as Chargers ?

[HOF19]

Tony's first word in his answer >>>>> "Absolutely ".                          Interview just finished .

[2006Coltsbestever]

I do not think there is one weak team in the Divisional Round. This Elite 8 is solid, even Philly is Good and are the Champs until proven otherwise. From the Wildcard teams to the Division winners it is wide open. Pats are even beatable.

[Dingus McGirt]

I just saw on NFL Network, MJD has the Colts ranked #two of the final eight.

[Tsarquise]

Colts are even ranked number 2 in weighted DVOA.

Ask me again on Sunday night

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Didn’t the chargers RB get hurt in the ravens game? Did he come back in?

[krunk]

I wouldn't hesitate to say we could beat the Chargers.  Bosa and Melvin Ingram don't scare me like that.  I know we'd neutralize at least one of them.

That's because he is a RB, and knows that our offensive line is a g-danged locomotive. 

[cbear]

He was talking about Colts being on the same level as the chiefs. 

[tweezy32]

I fear no rb or dline anymore.  Could they go off yes,  but the way our D has stopped the run game this year is insane.  Our oline is the best,  we can stop anyone.  Yeah maybe we get beat a couple plays but we win most of them bet on it. I'd rather face a heavy run team before a passing team.  We can easily stop the run. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We know that they probably aren’t going to run much. If they do we will shut it down. We have to get pressure on Mahomes. Some of his throws under pressure this year he got lucky. They were kind of careless. Hopefully we can pressure him and our fast defense can pick some balls off.

[CR91]

Just worried about the chiefs. The rest of that is just noise. I would be shocked if the chargers win though. Whats the pats record in the divisional round? 502-1?

[Gramz]

We Got this!

 

[Yarmish]

Our Pass defense leaves something to be desired, It seems we have some blown coverages and the zone always has holes. Pressure and contain on Patrick is our only chance to limit there scoring, That and a heavy dose of Mack

Meaningless stats:

 

Philip Rivers is 3-0 in 1 pm ET playoff games (including recent Ravens game). Him and the Chargers are 5-4 since 2012 in games with starting temps. between 20 and 45 degrees F. A lot of the Chargers players are from the Midwest (Melvin Gordon, Justin Jackson, Desmond King, Joey Bosa etc. and Casey Hayward played in Green Bay if we remember).

 

Tom Brady has 2 blowouts in 1 pm ET game, both in wild card round - blowout win vs Jets in 2006, blowout loss vs Ravens in 2010, both at home.

 

Patriots have always preferred late night games if they had a choice as a higher seed in the divisional round, prior to championship games (championship games are pre-determined, and this year the AFCCG is a night game while NFCCG is a 3:30 pm ET game). This year, by virtue of the 11-5 record, they landed the 1 pm ET slot as the worst record amongst the AFC and NFC top 2 seeds (I think that is how it works - Saints, Rams, Chiefs, then Patriots got the time slot choices in order). 

 

[coming on strong]

the chiefs game is gonna be the hardest if the colts get past them i think we can win the superbowl.

Man! I was just saying this earlier. If (when) we make it past KC I don’t see another team that would give us trouble as we would have already been battle tested against the BEST offense in the league. Still feel good about this weekend! Let’s gooooo!!!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Tony Dungy was asked if we were as good as the chiefs not the chargers.

[runthepost]

Saints and Rams are both better than the Chiefs but good thing we don’t have to play either of those teams till February 

[Mel Kiper's Hair]

Let's go 1-0 this week!
