Colts +7

[MPStack]

Pretty encouraging even at 2-4, seeing the Colts are tied for 3rd in the league with a turnover ratio of +7 with the Cowboys. 

 

Wentz, is protecting the ball well and is now rated in the top 10, and has 102 RTG.

SF will be well rested after a bye week, another primetime game for us, their D will be buzzing. We need Wentz to be at his best again and our D to not have another primetime letdown.

JT needs 20 carries

Curious to see who starts Jimmy G or Trey

Jimmy G, gives them the best chance to win.

Jimmy G. Trey Lance is banged up with a knee issue and Jimmy G has had time to get healthy. Will be a tough game, IMO. Jimmy G has a quick release and we will never get to him based on our scheme and his release. Plus Shanahan is going to test our LBs with play action and creative ways to run the ball. This will go down to the wire and we need Wentz and the offense to put up close to 30 points to win this game. They took Rodgers and the Packers to the wire with Jimmy G and the Packers are a better pass D than ours.

IMHO a mobile QB like lance would likely do more damage to us

Only if the mobile QB can also pass well enough. If we can bottle up Lamar WHEN our DBs were healthy and on the field, we would definitely have taken care of Trey Lance. Jimmy G, for reasons I stated above, will be a tough challenge.

Without Kittle though? He's on IR

Shanahan and his creative play calling worries me, he has had 2 weeks to prepare for us to use whatever weapons he has. Kittle had been hit and miss even when healthy, probably was playing banged up all along before going on IR. Deebo Samuel has been their star, we need to make someone else beat us.

After what Andrews did to the Colts, that is good news.

That's why you hope Rhodes shadows Samuel.

The key is sure tackling can't let him get yards after the catch

I think Jimmy G's experience  and quick release makes him more dangerous to us.

Jimmy G is still the better QB at this point when he's on it.

I think both Rock and Rhodes match up well against Samuel.

[NannyMcafee]

The Colts looked pretty damn smooth vs the Texans. It isnt the win its how well they played with less mistakes. Gives you hope they get this rolling. 

[Myles]

It's gonna be a tough game to win for the Colts.   

I think they lose but they have to play the game.  

I hate playing teams coming off their bye week.   Especially on the road on the West coast.   The 49rs will be playing hard because they can get back to .500.

No idea why that made me laugh but I immediately thought of Rock and Roll, then Rocky Road ice cream and now I dont know what to do with myself.

The only thing you can do at this point. Throw on some rock and roll and just......

How are they going to stop Bosa?

[Boondoggle]

Shanahan is the best OC in the league I think, so of course the 9ers will be ready to pick the Colts defense apart early on.  Colts just need to be prepared to make quick adjustments defensively.

 

Colts are good enough to beat the 9ers.  I like our chances this week.  If they can get to 3-4 with a big win here things will look a ton better.

He is a beast.  But I would chip him and run the ball at him and grind him down.

Not to mention just 1 INT. (And it doesn't hurt that Taylor is in the top-5 in rushing.)

He’s in that 12-17 range for most stats now, but he’s actually #1 in INT %. 

[MPStack]

Colts up to +9 ratio for

give/takeaways on the season.

Whatever was wrong with Wentz in Philly Frank has fixed.  I think Frank is just the calming influence that Wentz needs.  Tonight he clearly got uncomfortable vs the 49ers and started to revert back to what got him in trouble in Philly just throwing the ball up for grabs when he shouldn’t.  I think Frank went to him and calmed him down and Carson played much better the rest of the game.  For all the people who say oh the coach isn’t fiery enough sometimes that stoic calming influence works really well because if your players see you aren’t panicked they calm down too.  Just like in the 06 AFCCG when they were down 24-3 and Dungy kept telling the guys “it’s still our time”.  Like Saturday said It kept their confidence up at a time it would have been really easy to panic.  
 

I laughed when I heard Leonard say he wanted the defense to have 40 turnovers this year and went no way.  Now I am not only am I seeing why he said it I think he’s determined to do it himself!

good post

 

Just to clarify because I have OCD. The Colts trailed the pats 3-21 at worst in the AFCCG in late January 2007. 6-21 at half. The FG before half really kept their spirits up + some momentum as well only being down 2 TD + 1 2 point play while getting the ball first in the 2H.

You are correct.

I can’t remember the last time the Colts were 2nd in turnover margin/ratio.
