Steelers Colts Predictions

Like Willis, Fields is a mobile QB, which I think opens up the run game a bit more. 

 

PIT also has Arthur Smith as OC. When he was the OC in TEN with Tannehill starting, he put 93 pts in 3 games (31 ppg) against the Colts. The game where DeFo missed, TEN put up 45 pts. 

 

Then last year with Heinecke at QB, ATL put up 29 pts.

 

So basically 30 ppg in 4 games over 5 year against IND. For whatever reason, Smith seems to have the defense's number. And Tomlin is just a great HC with a great defense.

 

I think PIT will win 20-13. But I hope they can pull one out here.

 

I didn't realize that 3 of the first 4 games were at home. With PIT being an AFC team, this is very much a need-to-win. After this game, the Colts will play 8 of their last 13 on the road. And with how they looked in GB, that doesn't bode well.

Yea it’s going to be ugly. Need to limit his passing attempts.

I’m curious if they are working on his mechanics throughout the week outside of scheduled practice time. 3 1/2 or 4 hours of practice each week isn’t enough.

 

 

He should be watching tape & have an accuracy coach work with him every single day throughout the week

The coaches only have so much time with nfl rules. They can’t really work with him much outside of practice.

So much defeatist attitudes in this thread. This team even when playing not good was in every game this season. Steelers are beatable. Look at the Panthers beating the Raiders or Broncos beating the Bucs. Let’s go Colts.

Not that confident we win unless we can put consistent drives together. Run defense definitely needs to b on point. Pitt is going to try and pay us back from last year's match up where we ran it down their throat. Pitt is going to try and run it down ours.

    • Coaches mismanage time around the two minute warning all the time. I don't get it.    In this case, it's possible the Colts prioritized minimizing the risk of a turnover on a kick return, and didn't want a half effort return which would sacrifice field position, which is understandable. 
    • Do we want to talk about defensive scores also? 
    • And that's just the play calling. But he's the HC, and the entire team looked poorly coached through the first two games (a running theme for the Colts, going back to 2014). And even yesterday, though the team had more fire and looked ready to play, all of a sudden we have a rash of penalties. 
    • This is correct.   It's easier to say "Well, everybody has to be patient and give him the time and latitude to fix these deficiencies in his game" than it is to actually....be patient and give him the time and latitude to fix these deficiencies in his game.   What exactly did everybody think that was going to look like...if it wasn't something like what we saw yesterday?   Two things everybody needs to not lose sight of as we pull our hair out watching him play:   1) To this point, he's had the right attitude about it.  There's no guarantee he'll continue having the right attitude.  And it won't help him maintain it if fan sentiment boils over to the point where things just fall apart.  And I very much believe fan sentiment can cause that to happen.   2) There is no quick, easy fix.  And that includes benching AR for Flacco.  Are we a better team with Flacco on the field right now?  Maybe.  Probably.  But is that really in the best interest of the franchise?  I don't think so.  AR needs reps....even if those reps end up costing us winnable games.  Personally, I think they're worth it.  Because Joe Flacco is not a long-term alternative.  There are no ready long-term alternatives....except another swipe at another QB prospect next year in the draft.   So I think everybody just needs to relax as much as possible.  And the coaching staff needs to make the space available for AR to progress....and that means taking as much pressure off his shoulders as possible.
