So how you do explain running on them when they were stacking it on the opening drive? Yes it makes logical sense what you're saying but that doesn't mean you need to take deep shots. P/A mid range can be just as effective as making them think twice.

They aren't real sure what they see on screen, but they know they like big plays and scores....

[IndySouthsider]

Looks like a team that didn’t do much work in preseason. Slow to react, and getting beat with simple plays you expect the Seahawks to run.

[coming on strong]

the colts always been a second half team just keep it close now .

[John Waylon]

They keep running into clogged lanes at the line, and still getting good gains out of it

Actually it's a non-profit furthering relocating underprivileged polar bears.

Ah. My mistake then.

Defense would have had Seattle stopped on that first drive if they didn't miss tackles.  Hopefully that improves.

Missed tackles seems to be the biggest thing hurting our defense so far.

[Catloaf]

I didn’t expect we’d win but it’s looking pretty one sided all of a sudden.  Need a fumble or INT to shift momentum.

 

defense is not doing well at setting the edge or containment, unimpressed with run D this year so far.

[IinD]

Don't mess up my opening day vibes guys... Lol...

The blitzes aren't looking very good as called....., I like the aggression, but it seems like the timing is off....that said, better execution makes all things look better

Agreed, Wilsons big run and the TD pass were both on corner blitzes 

[DrColtsFan]

When I look at whole defense 2 seconds after snap, there are huge areas of field with no blue at all. 

[Jackie Daytona]

Just not getting home with the playcalls on d

After the opening drive we've been flat on both sides, I agree we need a splash play to get something going here.

seahawks with the zone buster routes

Sending too many people

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This defense is never going to be able to defend a mobile QB. 

[runthepost]

Swiss cheese defense

[Fisticuffs111]

Easier to run when there’s the threat of a deep pass. Not that that’s our only problem rn

Blitzing from corner isn't a great percentage call vs this team.... 

[The Fish]

Wilson is outclassing the D. He's that good. 

[IndySouthsider]

Really this is a terrible look for Indy. They don’t look ready for the NFL season

[bluebombers87]

Honestly it’s good for the defense to get beat around a bit. I’ve never been a fan of their swagger. They’re good, but they still gotta prove it. Hopefully they stiffen up.

 

Edit - Well that was poorly timed

[John Waylon]

 

Watching a he secondary right now like 

[Patrick Miller]

Defense looks like crap.

Seahawks making this look easy

Pass D

Which has been the formula for beating this defense for 23 years.

Oh my

[LiveAndLetAddai]

Not looking good atm...

Why so? In some respects it's much better built (speed) than say a 3-4 with a heavy ol D-Line.

Not today.

[coming on strong]

seahawks are a good team they are dominating this game .  hope the colts cant wake up

[DrColtsFan]

Right there, how are there feet of the goal line not instructed by a defender?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Matt Eberflus should be embarrased.

Wilson has always been good, but honestly, this D has been mediocre and made it's living vs. bad opponents for years.

[Happy2BeHere]

Certainly disappointed by this defense thus far

[EastStreet]

even the radio broadcasters have been screaming that our zone has been way too soft and needs to tighten up.

it's obscene... lol

[IndySouthsider]

I’m not sure how you can adjust to this. Yikes, it’s going to be a really really long day

[Fisticuffs111]

Wow, just let them right in.

Right? That was annoying
