2024: Game #4, Steelers @ Colts, September 29, 2024, 1 PM ET

[NFLfan]

Your Indianapolis Colts host their nemesis Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday afternoon. The Colts look to quiet the Steelers and improve their record to 2-2. The Steelers are trying to remain undefeated but to do so, they have to stop AR, JT,  and a group of dynamic wide receivers.

 

 

Final Injury Report (Saturday):

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

RB Jaylen Warren (knee): out

TE MyCole Pruitt (knee): out

OLB Alex Highsmith (groin): out

LG Isaac Seumalo (pectoral): OUT

QB Russell Wilson (calf): questionable

 

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

CB Kenny Moore II (hip): out

DE Kwity Paye (quad): out

C Ryan Kelly (neck): questionable

CB Chris Lammons (knee/ankle): questionable

DE Tyquan Lewis (calf/wrist): questionable

T Braden Smith (knee): questionable

 

Not having Kwity Paye and Kenny Moore is a bummer. How do you think it will affect the defensive strategy against the Steelers?

Are you concerned at all about the Steelers offense?

What are your thoughts on AR, JT and company carving up the Steelers defense?

 

During the game, please keep the game discussion here, not in the Colts section.

 

Good Luck! Enjoy the game.

This is probably the homer in me but I think we win big today. Richardson’s best game of his career is coming. 

[Dunk]

My wife has family in town, so I will probably end up watching the recording of this game later today.

Enjoy the game folks. Hope we can step up and get the W

[holeymoley99]

Latu and Dayo will get more snaps to complement Lewis, Avery may get a few in as well,

Think we slide Womack into the slot and start Flowers but rotate in David Long who could start seeing regular snaps on our D.

Go Home Team!

 

Beat Visitors!

Kelly is out. The rookie is starting. He sss a healthy scratch last week. It msked zero sense he is starting over Pinter.

Woah wonder who’s going to be the new k/p returner.

[Happy2BeHere]

I think this very well could be a beat down on our team today. My hopes aren’t super high but I’m still going to enjoy some football and continue to hope for some progress from the team and believe that any given day good things can happen. Cmon Colts let’s make it a good day!

Downs, Flowers or Dulin probably.

I’m guessing Gould is inactive for some defensive depth.

Go Colts !

[azcolt]

AR will be AR. Hopefully JT and defense will be enough.

Interesting .  He has a formidable DT in front of him .  He might be on a short leash.

He's our future Center so need to see him in action when situation dictates so we know he can handle the role. Pinter hasnt looked good in years (Though Guard is a lesser position for him and thats he he played of late).

Mallory is active finally

Boy I remember when the NFL today was a good show. 
 

[MB-ColtsFan]

Thanks again for opening the thread, NFLfan.  Much appreciated.

 

I think we see a LOT of TE's in action today.  Keep the passing game short to get completions (yeah, I can hope, right?), and to offset the rush.  Heavy dose of JT early as well.

 

Hopefully we can get JT going early and often, then end the game using Sermon.

Go Colts!  Alld day.  Every day.  

[IndyEV]

Kelly out again! What’s new?😒

[IinD]

Our boy Spiro...lol...uggh

[AKB]

we need a conservative, ball control win today. If we get pass happy it's gonna get ugly. 

injured list growing

[Chrisaaron1023]

It's actually insane how many injuries we have lol. 

 

Let's go Indy be competitive

I was watching the NFL Network’s studio show earlier.  They had Chad Johnson on.  The entire thing was a train wreck.

[2006Coltsbestever]

I went AR, Yes, No, Steelers will win. Refs will bail them out, watch and see . Thanks for the thread @NFLfan.

[EasyE]

Colts win!! Let's go Coltsnation!!! 

We need to turn this bad luck around against the Steelers..

[Old Man and the COLTS]

Here we go LETS GO COLTS

[SR711]

Take care of the ball on offense, looking for AR to be a little better with some of the completely off target throws especially when the route is there.

 

On defense, I expect Steelers are going to test the run D early and often and come at the D-line.

 

Would be nice for Gus to be more fluid with his coverages so that Fields doesn’t get too comfortable with what he is seeing

[AKB]

HUGE opportunity for Bortolini. If he holds his own today we might have our future center

You're welcome. Good luck!

[MB-ColtsFan]

Nice start with the toss to Pitt.  GOOOO JT!

[2006Coltsbestever]

AR to Pittman for 42

[Solid84]

Let's go Colts!

[Happy2BeHere]

Goodness that was a very risky pass!

 

JT running heck yea 

[smittywerb]

When he sets his feet and throw….🔥🔥🔥

[Old Man and the COLTS]

And there’s that like out that is just not working 

[SR711]

He needs to be better on that throw

[Chrisaaron1023]

Lol those easy passes..

[smittywerb]

I like that Shane called play action for the first play. Catch the defense off guard.
