NFL Network says Rivers is 0-5 against Zimmer defenses.

We should definitely start Brissett then  - gotcha!

After a cool down from last Sunday, I think we rebound. At home, not a perfect game but we do enough to pull a W.

Colts 30-Vikes 21

I really want this win.  We haven't defended our house all that well under Reich so we need to change the narrative.

And the Vikings haven't won in Indy since Moses was receiving the Ten Commandments.......

Philip Rivers is 1-3 vs. the Vikings and all 3 loses have been by 17+ points. I expect the Viking pass rush to frustrate an immobile Rivers and force him into making mistakes. I don’t see the Colts zone defense giving Cousins much problem.  Take the Vikings plus the points...unfortunately.

Feel like we will see a much better performance this time. Thats the vibe ive picked up from the team all week.

Most of yall definitely didn't watch the Vikings game this sunday. Cousins had 3 completions in the first half and 2 of those were their first 2 plays of the game. He had 7 completions before going into the 4th quarter where he and the rest of the vikings got a bunch of garbage time stats. Their defense has been good in recent history but is a liability this season. This is a very winnable game.

Cousins won’t have those kind of problems facing this zone crippled Colts defense though. He will probably look more like the second coming of Fran Tarkenton.

He won't have the same struggles but it definitely doesn't suggest he will light us up like the rest of this thread seems to believe. We lose 1 game after the most unorthodox offseason possibly ever and everybody loses their mind. Vikings had one of, if not the worst defenses last week. I feel good about our chances.

Well...every team faced an unorthodox offseason so that’s not unique to the Colts. Everyone had to face those challenges.  Also the Colts’ defensive woes with their zone coverage scheme is something that has continued across multiple seasons now.  So it’s not just about losing one game. There is a problem. 
 

Finally, getting lit up by Aaron frigin Rodgers is a whole lot different than getting exposed on defense by the likes of Minshew.  Colts defense looked worse in my opinion.

Heavy dose of Taylor and Hines. I think we control our destiny a little bit better this time around. Going to be tough but need to nail the game plan down and don’t fall behind early on.

Dang, looks like I gave the Vikings too much credit

[DontEverGiveUp]

So glad many of us were wrong today.  OL and DL were night and day compared to the JAX game.  Let's keep it going.

I am very glad to be wrong
