2023 Week#3: Colts @ Ravens, Sunday, September 24, 2023, 1:00 PM EDT

[NFLfan]

Your Indianapolis Colts (1-1) have another road game in the early season, this time in rainy Baltimore to play the Ravens (2-0).

 

 

Gardner Minshew will start in place of rookie Anthony Richardson who sustained a concussion during last week's win against the Texans. Ryan Kelly has been playing great for the Colts, but he too will be out and will be replaced by Wesley French.

 

 

Seven Ravens starters have been ruled out for this game in addition to three who were placed on IR 

 

With so many Ravens players out, the Colts may  have a great chance to steal one on the road. It should be a fun game.

 

What are your thoughts on this game?

 

Cheer on your team. Good luck!

I chose the Ravens but I think we have a chance. 1 to 2, and 1 were my other votes. Go Colts.

Hopefully the rain slows down this afternoon.

Colts are around top 5 in pass rush with 8 Sacks, and Ravens gave up 4 against Texans and now they've a backup OL protecting Lamar. So I predicted 3-4 Sacks. 

 

If it were AR as QB, I'd have no hard time picking Colts. With Minshew still, Colts can win if they play clinically without turnovers.

 

Only problem now is that Ravens prepare very well for the games and are capable of springing out surprises . In spite of all the injuries, it's their game to lose or get overpowered.

I usually pick Indy every week but Baltimore has the better team. Still doesn't mean we can't win the game. We went into KC in 2019 with Brissett and beat Mahomes. Anything can happen.

The Ravens have 10 starters out, 3 of which are not on the injury report because they are on IR. They may still win but the Colts have a very good chance to win today with so many starters being out.

 

The heavy rain may be the x-factor.  It has been raining since yesterday on the East Coast, with rain being heavier at times. I looked at the forecast for Baltimore. The rain is supposed to get heavier after 1 and last through the end of the game.

I hope it pours down rain and we win

From AccuWeather. Looks like there is no rain falling in Baltimore now but it is supposed to start around game time.

The Ravens may be missing 10 starters.

But the Colts are playing their 3rd string Center, their backup Quarterback, their backup Running Back, a Right Guard that shouldn't be starting, a Wide Receiver that has been all but invisible, and a pair of Corners that shouldn't be starting.

 

The odds will be even.

Looks like under 50% chance of rain for the game. Maybe they will get lucky.

I do.  After playing Jacksonville and Houston.  I've also watched him for the past 2 seasons.  I'll be glad if he becomes Mr. Amazing.  And will eat my crow when it is served to me.  But I'm not convinced yet.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Good news with Richardsons concussion he traveled with the team.

Steichen is not taking any crap. Benching Baker after that game last week.

So refreshing to see a coach holding players accountable.

Of course he doesn’t.  He only sees what he wants to see. He wants Fries to fail.  Some fan.

Do you like the polls added in to the game threads?

 

@holeymoley99 gave me the idea. If there is a poll question you would like to see in a future game thread, let me know.

 

Thanks.

I have the Pats @ Jets and Saints @ Packers showing by me. Then the Bears @ Kansas City will be shown in the late afternoon. I have to listen to the games I am interested in.

It’s AMAZING. REFRESHING to have a coach not deal with people’s poor performance. It’s honesty seems like to me that it’s the reason we come out looking so focused.

Thanks again for opening the thread, NFLfan!

I chose Colts and 3-4.  I think the running game will be good for the Colts today and the rain will affect the Raven's passing.

With so many strarters out it really does even things out.  We can steal this one with Minsh at the helm.

Go Colts!  All day.  Every day.

The new face of the defense. I love it! Need Lenoard to join this man’s energy
