Bengals @ Colts Game Day Thread, October 18, 2020, 1:00pm ET

[NFLfan 7,954]

 

Your Indianapolis Colts (3-2) look to return to winning ways when they face the Cincinnati Bengals (1-3-1) at home this Sunday. They will play this one without TE Mo Alie-Cox (Out), T Chaz Green (Out), and LB Darius Leonard (doubtful). Anthony Castonzo is questionable.  The Bengals list only two players on their injured list:

Auden Tate (Doubtful) and Mackensie Alexander (Questionable). 

 

The Bengals pass defense is surprisingly strong but the run defense is among the worst in the league. Expect the Colts to run the ball. The Colts defense will try to stop the #1 overall pick in Joe Burrow. It should be a fun game to watch. Good luck!  

 

Ways to watch and listen to Colts games

[IinD 2,098]

Don't get too cute.

Let Rivers flow.

Right the ship.

Bury the Bengals.

We got this, it will be closer than some think but I would be surprised if we lost today.

It's time to get back on track!

I am hopeful.  This could be a day we see if JT can be a workhorse.  Run him hard and then go into the bye week to rest him.

And please, please, please, use that to set up play action.

Roof & window open today!

I wish I could get back to 12pm game start times. Those were the good ol days.

 

Not a fan of time chance.

[shakedownstreet 2,018]

Inactives:

 

TE Mo Alie-Cox
DE Ron'Dell Carter
QB Jacob Eason
WR Daurice Fountain
OG Chaz Green
LB Darius Leonard
WR Dezmon Patmon

Sucks Leonard is out, but this should probably be it, with a bye next week.

 

That will give him a nice little 4 week recovery period.

 

Nice to have AC back in the lineup.

Try growing up on the Time Zone

    My Grandmother had her clocks set on both times and since PCHS plays in a conference that is split by the timeline every game is early

 why arefountain and carter inactive .   fountain is the 3rd best wr left since pittman and cambell are out.   Houston and autry are really banged up to have only mohamad and ben as the defensive ends could be bad news .  I hope houston and autry dont leave the game

[Wyldhorsefan 159]

Big game today. Almost a must win. Can't let it slip away. Colts need a win to keep pace with Tennessee.

titans are who we thought they were .   We let them off the hook!     titans are paper tigers and will get beat down twice by the colts

[coming on strong 971]

See and people were calling out reich last week for ignoring mo allie cox when he was probably hurt and out of the game .

[coming on strong 971]

reich is the best coach we ever had since i been a fan .  Even over toney dungy and is bland defenses .

[holeymoley99 477]

Wonder where we use Harris, he can play slot wr as well as halfback, we may see him in both spots a bit today. I agree Taylor has a big day, Burton may as well.

Also, why is Patmon incactive again if Fountain is inactive? Who makes these decisions? Reich or Ballard? Patmon is getting the raw end of the deal as well. He can't start if Pittman and Campbell are hurt and Fountain is inactive? Not only that, Eason is inactive again? I agree on Carter as well. No point in claiming him off waivers if you're not going to use him.

The difference in run game between last year and this year is patience .  last year in tons of games the colts were getting stuffed in the first half of games , and they just stuck with the run .  Then in the second half the colts run game took over .  IT seems this year the colts give up on the run game if it does not work early , and throw more with rivers .

De'Michael Harris. He looked good as a undrafted FA.

It is kinda curious that Harris got the active tag over Fountain and Patmon.

 

Saw Wilkins was questionable coming in as well. So that should give Taylor more looks as well, hopefully.

 

I want 20+ carries for Taylor today.

He is a RB/WR hybrid. I forgot most of what I knew about him. But he had a good backstory and I remember I really liked him when we signed him in April.

Don't be surprised if Harris steals 10 carries from Taylor today. From what I remember about him, I believe he has 4.3-4.4 speed. Just a hunch if they are calling him up.
