CR91 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Gotta break this stupid opening game losing streak. Colts win 24-23! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikingsFanInChennai Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Actually Richardson looked serviceable, so any optimism for the win is warranted. But the points of concern: 1. Richardson's accuracy and mechanics under different situations - it will take time. 2. How ready is the run game or RBs for game action? 3. Will WRs help the QB grow or would they be a menace with their drops and inconsistencies? 4. Of course, the young secondary against the passing league. Can they hold on the offenses to fewer points or would they leak more than what we could score? 5. Will enough Edge rushers step up in pass rush, and would Colts defense be able to consistently apply pressure on QBs and change their plans during the play? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucklez Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 It pains me to say it, but I'm predicting yet another opening week 1 loss. Jax are the faves for the division title for a reason, their offensive firepower I think will just prove to be a bit too much for us to handle. Our secondary is so unproven and I think that people are hyping them up too much based off of some halfway decent performances against opposing teams' backups. AR will make a few really exciting splash plays, but we'll see some ugly plays too that counter those. The future is bright, but I don't think it is now, If we keep it competive, I will be really encouraged for what is to come for this team! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not because of AR and his inexperience. I'm concerned about our DB's being able to cover, and our DL being able to consistently get to the QB. We may score 24 points. But the Jags may score 38. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our defense can surprise (that's a huge if though), then we will have a genuine shot at showing we are more than just a team in developmen, but I just dont see our D like aparently quite a few others do. I think our secondary is going to be absoultely picked apart this season which will cripple us. I think the pass rush will be able to equal last year, but it wont be anywhere near enough to make up for the steps backwards our secondary will take (at least as backward as I predict them to step anyways). Here's to hoping they can prove me wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue4ever Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 It’s the first game, we are playing the Jags, it all stacks up to another opening day loss! But…….Could this be the Budweiser upset of the Season?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerColt Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 It will take the whole team to win. I think Anthony will make plenty of mistakes but could hit some home runs too. My biggest concern right now is pass rush. If we can't rattle Lawrence or at least get pressure on him, then our young corners will be torn to shreds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeAustin Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 34-13 Jags. Richardson scores a rushing TD for us on a beautifully designed red zone play that is a glimpse of what is possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt.45 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I doubt it's going to be on Anthony Richardson to break this streak. The main question is whether the Colts defense can stop Trevor Lawrence, and my prediction is he passes for close to 80% completion, over 300 yds, and 3 tuddies. Will the Colts win? Depends, if Lawrence does that and Indy stops the run successfully then we can stick in it and maybe then AR can compete but if the defense isnt making sure the run game is a zero for Jacksonville, there's another opening day loss coming. TL:DR? Lawrence will light up this Colts defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 AR =14-22/200 yards/1 TD/no INT. 55 yards rushing. Taylor 110 yards/1 TD on 25 carries. Colts win 20-17. Jinx is over. Defense plays awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad72 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Playing the Jaguars and opening game of the season, not too optimistic. Jaguars 34 Colts 24 Maybe I can do a reverse jinx, maybe... Christian Kirk lining up in the slot for a slot fade WR route towards the outside pylon beating Kenny Moore for a TD, I can already see it since it is a favorite staple of the Doug Pederson offense close to the red zone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crunked Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 42-17 Jags.... Richardson runs for more TD's than he throws with 2 INT's......but the Colts spin the handful of good plays he has as growth........ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coltsfanmurf Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Jags 34-16 AR shows it’s his first game with some good plays and some head scratchers. 13-23 0 TD, 2 INT, 50-60 yds rushing yards. Hull with the only TD from inside the 5 TL lights up our secondary with about 80% completion with 3 TD. It’s gonna be a long season (as expected) with some major growing pains but also light at end of tunnel. Still expecting 18-24 INT for AR this year but again, as long as he stays healthy and keeps improving from week to week, that would be successful. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compuls1v3 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I predict Colts upset, 24-21. Lawrence passes all over us, but we stop a few drives to keep us in the game, and our kicker saves the day on a game winner! AR 13/20, 147 yds, 0 int, 1 TD, 40 yd russhing, 1 TD, last TD from Hull from goal to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShuteAt168 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Key to winning is protect your QB and get to theirs. It will be interesting to see if we can protect but I’m pretty sure we don’t have the rushers to bother Lawrence much. So we’re in trouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshinator Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 This game is going to be absolutely brutal IMO. Richardson goes 16-35, 175 yds, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 1 Rushing TD Jags win 42-14 or something to that effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxjag Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Well, of course I pick the Jags but will be surprised if it's a blowout. Playing division rivals in their stadium is always tough. 31 to 17 Jags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
