Colts Packers predictions

Colts 31

Packers 13

 

Should be a blowout for the most part. If Love plays, I may even give a slight edge to the Packers, but Willis is terrible and we should have no problem getting pressure on him and forcing him to make bad decisions. I like the Packers receiving core, but not with Willis as the QB. Pittman may get shut down by Alexander, but as long as AR stays away from him, we should be able to move the ball at will and get to 1-1.

I predict we will continue seeing Anthony Richardson develop and the highs and lows that come with it. 230 passing and 40 rushing with 2 touchdown passes to Pittman and AD. Another interception and some missed throws keep him from a monster game. JT finds the endzone with a 22 touch 90 yard game. Matt Gay returns and goes 2/3 missing a 52 yarder. Defense struggles at times against the run, but ultimately finds ways to get off the field more balancing the time of possession. Packers don’t make the 3rd down plays CJ Stroud, Joe Mixon, and Nico Collins make leading to a 27-17 Colts win.

Packers 24

 

Richardson

199 yards 1 td 2 int 

7 rushes 41 yards

 

Taylor

17 rushes 51 yards

 

Willis 

195 yards 1 td 1 int

6 rushes 39yards

 

Jacobs

24 rushes 133yards 2 tds

If Jacobs does what Mixon did against us last week and we lose, then Gus Bradley should be fired after the game immediately for allowing 2 RBs to gash us for over 100 yards and beat us and not adjusting. I could easily see it being the Packers game plan with Willis as the QB.

Bowen pointed this out.  Pj Walker, Taylor Heineken, and Jake Browning all had great games against the Colts.   I know, that’s meaningless, but it does happen.  I’m not over confident in Gus playing his style of D against anyone.

 

Heck, I remember one time some scrub QB went 19 of 20 and the Jags upset us.  Only game they won all season!   Wonder what ever happened to that guy?

Malik has never been a good passer though/ those guys have all proved they can win games.

Packers defense was not great against eagles either. Their DB got torched.

Eagles WR core is top notch and the field was horrible especially for DBs. Having said that if we play smart on offense and stop the run. I don’t see how we lose this winnable game.

Hmm backup QB (Maybe)

 

I would say this has all the markings of a trap game but after your defense looked like dog crap this one is hard to call.

 

If Love does play somehow he will be limited by a brace and if Willis plays its another type of QB to deal with. Trying to be positive but honest. Defense plays better because they cant go farther down. Hoping for better but this seems more likely to me.   

 

Packers 21

Colts 20

 

AR: 11-18 242  1TD rushing and throwing 

Taylor 19-105

Mitchell gets his first TD

the lbs need to step up , get off blocks, fill the gaps , and start tackling for losses instead of for gains

    • I think they just didn't execute well (that's a different aspect of coaching, I don't think the team looked prepared in this game). I don't think the play is flawed, I wouldn't characterize it as a trick play... But I think when your lead back has been producing, and you have 3rd and 1, it's probably best to keep it simple.   But even suggesting that JT was subbed out for that one play because he was winded, I don't think it holds up. It's one of the lowest usage games of his career, and he's one of the best conditioned players on the team. I can't think of a team when JT even looked like he needed a breather, even in those games with Reich where he was getting 30 carries.    I think he was pulled situationally, and I think it was a mistake. 
    • Ballard: If they can't make me leave...I ain't leaving.   As somebody who is no longer in my prime years, I am not one to judge. But I didn't realize how much his appearance had changed.
    • It reminds me of when Frank R put Hines in the game in big run situations . I think he may have figured opponents would never figure that tiny RB would be called on to get tough yards. How many times did we see Hines get stuffed running up the gut ? IMO, much the same  as you point out with the Sermon run.
    • The reason it's a yearly thing...is we shouldnt start out this way every year for nearly a decade! Let's be honest....several people NEED to be fired and replaced, or we will likely continue this mediocre at best play
    • I think Luck gave us a great season in 2018. Beat the Titans to get into the playoffs, and then marched into Houston and took their breath away in a wildcard win.    2018 was basically the peak of the Ballard tenure at the moment.
