Steelers Colts Predictions

They are playing a sub par qb, Oline and a running game that averages like 4 yards.  The Bears actually scared me more on offense because at least they have the potential to break it open. Fields is a bad qb (passer) and just keep him in the pocket and make him play qb. Keep everything inside and the defense should be successful. Turnovers and field position is going to be huge in this game. No going for it on 4th down and punt the ball. I think this is going to be an ugly game lol.

Fields is doing just fine as the bears Steelers QB. Colts can’t guard the middle of field so I expect their TE will have a great day. Colts defense is too banged up. Fields has not turned it over this year and is hitting like 75% of his passes.

Take that back. Fields has had one int.

Gus is aware of this too.  I don’t think Fields can keep this up.  I really like our team this week

I think we will start to see a pattern with Colts and ugly games this year.

If colts were not beat up on defense maybe. But who are we even playing on defense. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The only thing in colts favor is Steelers are themselves and predictable. I doubt they will come out throwing. They are true to themselves.

Ummm.   Start?

I thought Zack hicks had such a good comment on his podcast. It kind of made me laugh. He goes AR plays better when he has a messy pocket and things get messy. I can’t say he isn’t wrong.

Zaire Franklin made a comment about stealing the Terrible Towels. Doesn't he know it's bad to disrespect the Towel? With defensive players out, Franklin didn't help things by making that comment. Now the curse might be on them. 

Zaire needs to stop talking and look at his play, he’s been a below average LB this year.

Steelers 31

Colts 17

 

AR 2 ints in loss.

  I don’t agree with this thought process. What I have seen with Smith ( new OC for the Steelers this season) is a decent amount of unpredictability. Times they threw when I thought they would eat the clock down late in a game,running the ball. Instead they came out throwing. Smith definitely isn’t afraid to mix things up.

Nowadays, teams try to score touchdowns as much as possible. It seems that the Steelers settle for FGs rather than go for touchdowns. Why is that?

What I meant is they are not going to come out and just throw 50 times. They are going to try and break your will and run out the clock. It’s  probably going to be a low scoring game. They have only scored 3 offensive TD. I am shocked they str 3-0. They don’t have many offensive weapons. Harris is not really a pass catching back who will break a long run. Now could that change. Off course. But their Oline id beat up. I was reading an article how they tried to open things up and Fields immediately got sacked. He they try to open things up till he revert back to Bears fields.

You can’t keep winning only scoring one TD A game. I think they have gotten some what lucky with who they have played. Colds dline beat up so we will see.

They had a few called back due to penalties. In the past their OC just was terrible. To start the season they were adjusting to the new OC so weren’t overly proficient. In general Tomlin is a conservative coach so there is a element of that factoring as well.

Come out throwing that probably not. They are very much still a running team and a defensive team. For me they have enough weapons minus a number 2 WR. So yeah still deficient there.

 

Harris is definitely a ground and pound back. What is good about Fields is he has a strong arm and has been accurate. Plus has nice wheels. So this might not be the most attractive way to win but the rats have done this in the past to some success.

Take that back. Fields has had one int.

And even that one had an odd bounce up and resulted in a different player getting the INT. As not an INT from the corner guarding the WR in question…

If Kelly and Smith can play I think we have a shot if the offense can sustain drives. If they don’t I think it just to much players to overcome.

My guess is smith will play. It sounds like he is still working through soreness with the knee from the surgery. He didn’t start practicing until TC. Kelly if he has a stinger those can be tricky.

Just chiming in. Colts win 24-21.

No extra depth for OL.  I think that’s a good sign.  Only CB and DT.  Could be worse.
