Colts Packers predictions

[OLD FAN MAN]

34 to 9 colts

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

 

[CR91]

I'm getting trap game vibes I'm not gonna lie and it doesn't help that we might be missing Buck, Paye, and Blackmon. Not scared of Willis, but he can run and move around so that does worry me. I'm praying we handle this easily

Hopefully this doesn’t happen again Run D has to be much better.

Yeah Safeties leading the team in tackles let alone the league is never a good sign.

[Zoltan]

I will be curious to see Edgerrin Cooper play in this game, I was wishing we would have been able to draft him but the Packers got him and we got AD.

If Willis plays we have to win this.

If the Colts lose.  Oh my, I bet Irsay fires some body!! Colts should win this game walking away. Green Bay may hold the Colts to say 25 points. However, based on Willis' history of play, they should be lucky to get a field goal even against Gus's D. Then the Colts front office and coaches will jump up and down and say how great this D is if they only play as a group!!

Irsay is not firing anybody if they lose. Packers are a very good team and game should be a toss up. It's their home opener and their D will be fired up. This game is a coin flip.

If only the LBers and DL would’ve did the same.

Richardson pitches a 7/20 for 112 yards. Flacco comes in after the half, 16/20 for 230 yards but can't overcome a bad defensive effort and go down 21 - 13.

Your AR hate needs to get out of here, 'snaps fingers',. Meet Homer, Homer say something charming to the Troll, Homer =

Has all the makings of a trap game, unfortunately.

 

Love being out is getting the headlines, but the Colts might also be missing their best defensive player (DeFo), their best S (JB) and one of their starting ERs (Paye).

 

And one thing that might be overlooked is that while Willis hasn't passed well, he can run. We haven't seen this defense against a mobile QB like that since Week 3 of last year. In that game, Lamar went for 101 yards and 2 TDs on the ground.

 

So expect to see some designed runs from Willis and frustration when he converts 3Ds.

 

And after how HOU ran all over the Colts, GB might not even have to pass all that much, so Willis' deficiency as a passer is mitigated. And it's only going to be more difficult with key injuries/limited players on defense., including arguably their best two run defenders in DeFo and Paye.

 

GB is also a SB contender and need to get back to 1-1. This game ias at Lambeau Field, where GB has a really high winning % and have won 11 straight home openers.

 

I would love to see a blowout, but I think it's close. I will go with the Colts winning 20-17 because the offense can score just enough to win. And 0-2 would be a depressing start to the season.

I think them allowing all those rush yards was the result of the game plan.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

At least it is Blackmon. We have some options at SS.

Not buying it.  Its week 2, no need to jeopardize Love's season.

 

 

[Smash Mouth]

27-24 Colts.  Another up and down performance from AR.  Defense gives up too many yards on the ground but Willis throw 2 INTS and one of the is a game killer.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think he is right. Something I was not  even thinking of. Cross will move to SS. This isn’t a bad thing. He looked great there.

 

 

[Solid84]

So, hypothetically, if Buck is out, could it be viable to play both Stewart and Davis? If Willis plays we will see A LOT o rushing from Green Bay I feel.

He said they were optimistic Buck will play.

If it was me I wouldn’t have designed runs when he is really your only quarterback option.  But that’s just me.

Pretty much what I expected.  The unknown is who starts for JuJu.

I feel dumb I didn’t even think about Cross at SS. Thomas was the forgotten man lol.

The question is how limited he will be. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

With colts playing Willis I think putting cross at strong safety they will be fine. They will probably try and run  so him at strong safety and his physical play we should be ok.

Won't Clifford be brought up as the backup though? I don't see them taking designed runs out of the playbook in a game they want to win.

He will be backing up Willis. So I would expect Willis will have a short leash.

Blackmon ended up on IR last year with a shoulder and is already out with a shoulder? That doesn't bode well for a whole season.

 

Any updates on DeFo and Paye?

Yeah he’s the backup to the backup.  Why risk getting your backup injured and then going to your 3rd string quarterback.  Seems very risky to me.

I was t talking about the season. I was talking  about this game. With Willis they will probably run more. So cross filling in at FS we should be fine.

It is risky, but they could probably find another backup QB if he got hurt.

 

I think Willis is starting because they think he can maybe help them steal a game or two until Love is back. To do that...he will have to run. But we will see. I would bet the Colts have Jason Bean running the scout offense just in case.

I know. Blackmon missing a game due to his shoulder (after missing two games at the end of last season for a shoulder injury) does not bode well for the rest of the season.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Steichen said Blackmon shoulder isn’t long term.

 

So Sunday there will be cross and Thomas at safety . Or they keep cross at FS and put Harrison at strong safety.

Colts Defense being a top 32 defense holds Malik Im not qualified Willis to a buck 50 in the air on 53% 1 TD and 2 picks....we only lose 27-23.........or, we win on a Packer mistake right at the end of the game ......17-13..... signed NostraCrunkedus
