Brainless?  Do you think throwing insults is very smart on your part?

RTDB.  Pound Taylor behind the great oline.  Take some deep shots on second and short.    Colts.       17 Steelers.    13

Steeler defense is too much and now their offense is clicking. Bad news for a Colts team that is not doing much on either side of the ball.

There offense is really not scoring a lot.  I like us in this match up actually.  With some smart play calling and getting AR more involved in the run game I think we win this game.

I read a theory that makes sense that Russell Wilson isn’t really hurt. It made sense because if he was really hurt he wouldn’t be fully dressed in uniform and and instead would be in street clothes and or rehabbing away from the team. It’s a roundabout way to give Justin Field the starting role without hurting his ego.

He only signed a one year deal. When they traded for Fields I think it was with the hope he would be the starter.

AR faced a decent defense with Houston and one with Chicago but Pittsburgh is a different story. They will pressure every time and have a terrific front 7.  Talk about being baptized by fire along with 20k Steelers fans in the building. This will be Richardson's' toughest test so far this season. This is where AR has to make the plays and not miss on open receivers, which he has woefully done. It will be hard to run the football but I never underestimate Taylor but this game may fall directly on AR's back and I just see a bad day this Sunday. Pittsburgh will probably not score many points and I think interceptions will be the difference.

 

Steelers 20 Colts 9  


 

I hope this game is the game we will see AR legs more.  Because if he’s sitting in the pocket, Watt and Cam may feast.  We do have a good OL but they can only protect for so long.

100%. This is the game where we need to run and not get in passing situations. We need to take advantage of having both Taylor and AR back there.

Colts need this win. Texans are hurting right now. We will see if jags can get their crap together.

 

 


Tank Dell is a talented player but it seems like his size is a concern in the NFL.

Yup, I’m predicting this is a game where the run is going to have to slow roast.  This game is probably going to be ugly from the beginning.  They’re definitely going to sell out for the run and make us try to beat them through the air.  Going to need the WRs and TEs to get open quick.  And going to need Shane to not abandon the run.  If we’re looking at 3rd and longs constantly and early, this game may be over by the second qtr depending on how our defense plays.  
 

Run and play action are going to be big this game.  And honestly, it should be for every game for us.

Let Taylor cook then sprinkle in the play action. Sell out on the run. Win time of possession. I imagine the Steelers game plan is similar.

 

My biggest worry is our DEs holding their edges.

Based on how we used AR in the first three games using a spy is not necessary.  But if he runs a lot in the first half they will most likely have one for the second half.

Steichen needs to let AR get out of the pocket to extend plays too. Colts have the better offensive weapons. But having A young QB might neutralize it. This is the game where he needs to let him be himself.

Interesting to see if they stack the box... and play man. That is actually dangerous for the big play. which is all it seems we're able to do  haha. I"m guessing they'll sick back in zone and bet on getting pressure with 4, and they do have the perfect pass rusher for it.

 

If i'm play calling. I'm running straight to watt's side the entire 1st qt..

If they play man AR will burn them. Young QB usually struggle with zone as we seen last week.  You are correct. You run towards watt. That’s how we neutralized him last season.
 

This doesn’t seem like it will be the week where the secondary is tested but if Kenny cant go it could be different. Our dline depth is being tested.

      Colts vs Bears post game thread

      By Two_pound · Posted

      My thoughts on the game Sunday against the bears. We didn't look too bad, the game probably shouldn't have been close at all. We have an awful tendency that any time we get a 2 score lead we really soften up the defense and let the opponent go right down the field. Has happened way too consistently these past 52 years. Richardson is so close to hitting on the big plays. Guys are open, he just needs to get them the ball more efficiently. The 3rd down miss to Taylor out of the back field was particularly bad because I'm sure the bears very highly paid free agent linebacker was not going to get there to stop Taylor and the other bear coming over also looked late. I think Taylor would have run the ball down the sideline along way(instead, we punted). It's kind of hard to judge the defense because of all the super soft zone we play, just continuing that 52 year history of Colt defense. If Richardson get's it going we are going to score a lot of points, but just like when Jones, Manning and Luck played qb, we will give up a lot also, apparently that's just the way it is. Overall good game, knew it would be tight. I will add here that some of you are WHINING that the defense sucks because Cross has to make too many tackles(that is true to some extent), but you know what else is true, he Is MAKING THOSE TACKLES and not whiffing  or taking bad angles, keep up the good work Nick.

      JJ did really well showing some fancy footwork on the 2 ints.   Not only that the Colts won the game.   Why are Colts fans so angry?

      Apparently this punter is left footed and Steelers have a left footed punter. Not sure what kind of advantage that gives colts if he doesn’t sign to PS and doesn’t practice.

      Is Shane Calling Plays to Win Games or to Groom AR?

      By jvan1973 · Posted

      The Bears knew JT would be getting the ball at 2:01.  The oline and JT pounded it for a first down.   What you are talking about,  literally just happened
