Colts @ Steelers Game Day Thread

Greetings for NFL Game Day at Western Pennsylvania, Colts Nation!  :default_20smile:  Our  first place in the AFC South Indianapolis Colts are in The Steel City to play the struggling and 3-4 Pittsburgh Steelers, in the early primary doubleheader game on The NFL On CBS. Colts seek and will attempt to win the first regular season game over the Steelers in 13 years.

 

Indianapolis will try to end their five game regular season steal against Pittsburgh, and will seek their first win today over the Steeler, since the Colts defeated the Steelers 24-20, also played at Heinz Field, back on November 8, 2006.

 

Colts will also see second-year QB Mason Rudolph instead of veteran Ben Roethlisberger, who is placed on injured reserve, and is out for the season with his injured elbow.

 

Pittsburgh though, leads the all-time series over Indianapolis at 24-6, including 19-6 in regular season games, and 5-0 in postseason games, in today's 31st all-time meeting.

 

Sunny and clears skies at 45 degrees, feels like 39 degrees, is the local gamecast inside Heinz Field. for the 1:05 PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff, along, with 0% precipitation, 46% humidity, and western winds at 11 miles per hour.

 

Lead referee Brad Allen leads the NFL Officiating crew that will supervise the live field action between the Colts and Steelers.

 

NO injuries to the Colts and Steelers players, but let's hope our Colts leave Pittsburgh with their sixth regular season win of the 2019 regular season by the late afternoon this Sunday, and LET'S GO COLTS!!!!

Thanks LOS for the game thread,

 

We always struggle against these guys, no TY Hilton today either. Having said that they too have key injuries. I think we are the better football team this year compared to them with Ben not playing. Luckily for us we had a decent QB that could step in when Luck retired (Brissett).  I say Colts win an ugly one 20-17.

Thanks again for starting the thread, LOS!

 

I picture Reich giving a speech something like: "Forget about past records.  Believe in each other and play for each other.  Execute the game plan and do your job and we go home with the win!  1-0 today, boys!"

1-2-3...COLT!!!"

 

Go COLTS!  All day every day!  :coltshelmet:

    • Titans are a poor team.  I expect the Colts will take care of business and get to 3-3.
    • Opposing team average passer rating is a great stat in today's league, because it shows how hard your defense is on opposing QBs, which is an enormous piece of the defensive puzzle.  Colts are 28th at 105.5, which is a terrible average performance to give up.   Also points allowed tends to follow how good your defense is or isn't vs QBs.  Which means, predictably, the Colts are ranked 24th and solidly in that bottom third of the league.   On the plus side is the turnover margin of +.2, which puts them in the top half of the league.  Looking at takeaways, they are T-8th at 1.6 per game.  Of course that means that unfortunately giveaways they are 22nd at -1.4 per.   Translation here is they need to improve in the secondary, few if any will be safe with those types of numbers.  But also being safer with the ball on offense would help too.
    • I have no worries about AR and this offense. That is the one part of this team I have no concerns about.
    • Whenever a new GM comes in the HC who is in place will feel that.  Just not being his selection to run the team and all that.   But I think this coach has done a good job with the offense overall.  He put up an 11th ranked offense in scoring last year with fumes at QB.  And his current QBotF is looking like a guy who will need to run to move the chains.  So I expect he is safe this offseason, and if the owner is angry about the QB they took the GM will own it.    From there I expect he's going to need a QB to put up a consistently high end offense.  But there is still time for this one to develop so we'll see.
    • If you're not sold on Pierce by now I have to question your judgment.  Pierce does block when he is called upon to do so. What you call a one trick pony is the Colts receiver that takes the top off.  That in turn opens up the other receivers.  I do not understand your opinion.
