We Match Up Better with KC

[Nickster]

than we do JAX.

 

The strength, cap allocation, and draft/trade capital of our team is in the lines.  

 

The reason we look so bad v. them is very simple.   Their lines are better than ours on both sides of the ball.  Period.

 

We will look better than this this year, and this week will be one of those weeks IMO.

I think we are going to get beat, but I don't think we will look godawful incompetent.

 

I will be there with my brother and 2 of our good friends having a good time. 

 

At least until the end of Q1 lol.

0-2-1 doesn’t look so bad now. Enjoy the game. 

[GoColts8818]

We are going to see what this team is made of this week. I questioned their heart yesterday and I don’t think I am the only one who feels that way.  They got embarrassed Sunday and are going to be dragged through the ringer this week as they should.  A team with any heart and pride will respond Sunday with a much better performance.  If they don’t buckle up it’s going to be a long year headed towards a rebuild from top to bottom.

[Tsarquise]

Yeah, we match up so much better! 

 

The Colts, so far, look like the worst team in football.

How is Kelce doing this year?  Last year, I thought he showed some signs of coming off his peak.  

 

I think we got dominated the last time we played them.  And Mahommes doesn't seem to have a problem with Gus' defense.

 

Did we block Chris Jones last time?

[JediXMan]

Only chance the Colts have is if they get a lot of picks and chew up the clock. Chargers dropped at least 3 picks on TNF. It’s unlikely they win but yesterday games shows it could happen lol.

[Smonroe]

After all my bellyaching, and complaining - I really do think we have a good shot to beat the Chiefs.  

 

Contain PM.  Our run defense is decent.  Their receivers (while better than ours, minus MPJ) aren't elite.  Their D isn't great.

 

Colts win.

[Indyfan4life]

Anything is possible, especially if Leonard, Pierce and Pittman return. But another loss like yesterday, and I think any hope of Frank staying and keeping the locker room together is gone.

Normally I agree with you Nickster, but not on this one.  I think KC is going to show us how done Stephon Gilmore is next week. 

[IrsaysArmy]

Unless we truly do stink; I can see us competing well in this game. Home opener. I still think we get clipped at the end but it’ll atleast be a game 

[MPStack]

[chad72]

So, are we going to be the Titans of the Manning years counting “almost wins” and “happy we were competitive against an elite team”???

 

Is that the new bar we are setting? I’m fine with that because that’s the track we’re heading towards. 
 

[runthepost]

We still don’t have anyone that’ll stop Kelce from getting 150 yards

Is Maniac going to be back?

Man, the boos are going to be loud Sunday.

Dominant.  Taking up slack for Hill's departure it looks like. 

 

Doug come on man, I'm trying to be positive here.   

 

I bet we don't get shut out and beat by more than 23.5 pts.  lol.  We will look competitive at some point during the game.

Only if we go down 31-7 or 42-10 etc. but I feel we will be competitive to the extent of 17-27 or something like that at home, an “almost win”.

 

We have to remember - Jaguars beat the Bills at home last year too. That’s why pouring it out on Wentz was knee jerk, IMO.

[Hoofin it]

If you don't beat the worst 2 teams in the league that also happen to be division rivals, then it's not a "matchup" problem.

We will score more than .5 points and get cover -24.5.  Book it Rhodesy.

Colts won in KC the last time we played, with Jacoby handing off to Mack all game

Yep.  And then the coin toss will be complete.

[Mr.Debonair]

Have you guys seen how giving this defense is?  This is not a good matchup.

Our pass rush seems to show up more against KC.  And we never really gave up the big play to Hill, who isn't even here anymore.

 

And we can probably run right at Jones.  If we get Pitt and AP back, the offense should look better.  

 

Stay positive and enjoy the game.

Hmm.  I remember that game.  It was when Mahommes had an ankle?  I thought we played them since.   Maybe not.

Yeah, I felt our OL was better then with Castanzo in it in 2019. Also, Mahomes’ ankle got rolled on by his OL guy, so his trademark movements outside the pocket were limited after a half.

He's having an okay year, but he's not as dominant as he once was. Against the Cardinals he had 120+ yards and 1 TD and was really good. Against the Chargers he was relatively quiet with 57 yards 0 TDs (I have him on my fantasy team).

It'll be one of those games where the stadium is half empty in the 4th.

[coming on strong]

The chiefs have pretty good pass rushers and  offensive line they invested in .   I don’t see how we get any pressure on them and mahomes will pick apart this defense .

IIRC, both of his ankles were jacked up. 

 

Brissett threw for like 30 yds. in the 2nd half and people were lauding his "game management" skills lol. 

[Happy2BeHere]

In fairness the Colts ironically seem to perform better against “better teams”, and we always pull out the full on dumpster fires for the garbage teams.

….but we will get another loss here.

 

but hey at least we won’t end the season with a 0-17 record so at least there is that!

I agree.  Their defense isn’t great.  Rookies in the secondary.  If Leonard, Pittman and Pierce play I think we match up well.  Hopefully Rodgers sees the field this week.  He’s a playmaker.

Then we had people saying they’ll rather have a QB like Brissett instead of Mahomes

Great locker room guy

[IinD]

Thankfully I'm watching with zero expectations from here on out.

 

Like the old MadTv 'lowered expectations' skits...

Derwin James was mainly limiting Kelce that last game. He’ll probably be fine against our soft zone defense

[PRnum1]

Looking at the Chargers KC game, KC's rebuilt Oline completely shutdown Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack.

 

Chris Jones on their DL was unblockable and gave Justin Herbert fractured ribs.

 

I have a feeling Matt may have a long day if something drastic doesn't happen soon.

 

Matt Ryan after the game...

He'll give me a lot of points that's for sure. Kirk saved me this week.
