Colts Thread

davyjose

Didn't know where to put this, but figured we've enough heads on here interested in the Colts to start a thread.

So anyway... after 2 games, our big trade of the summer, CB Vontae Davis (2009 1st round pick), has a perfect passer rating against him. Our defense is overall pretty bad, and he's not had long to adjust to our schemes, but that's a shocking stat considering the 2 QB's in question are the good, but not great Cutler and Ponder. He's given up receptions on 10/11 targets for 143 yards & 2 TDs.

I'd have hoped he'd step in and be one of the leaders in our D, and the guy deserves time, but c'mon man. Make some plays.

Not a bad start for him imo and I suspect he will be blowing quite a few houses down this season.

Ha ha. Two thumbs up for picking them to reach the big game dude, and him for OPOTY

Yeah, I just love how he completely turned down national commercials last season, to focus on football. As a fan of the team, that's magic. Even his commercials this season are local based. There was a good article in the Indy Star this week on it: http://www.indystar.com/article/20130905/SPORTS03/309050047/No-national-TV-ads-Leaving-endorsement-money-table-Football-first-making-Andrew-Luck-

Some dude on here a while back was rocking the ALF Avatar, and I was feeling like a change, so I went for Wallace. Yeah, think I'll change it back.

Never realised he changed it until you brought that up. No doubt, the Gardaí are probably crying out for my observational skills.:o

davyjose

Ah that's better. Feels like putting on an old, forgotten pair of shoes, or sleeping with an ex.

Not sure why you did it, but it feels good man...

Here do you want Reed back?

Can't wait for tomorrow. FOOTBALL'S FINALLY BACK!!

Alfred Borden

This is one i circled as a win for us and im sure the coaches have too, very winnable, need a good start. Really interested to see how we stop the run and how we run the ball today. Less than two hours to go now

Shocking. We're gonna struggle to make the playoffs with this D.

Agreed no pass rush at all, worrying about the LB core to be honest.

taidghbaby

Colts can **** right off of they're gonna be at this **** again this year!

We made very hard work of that win, probably were lucky in the end. Pryor had a very good game.

davyjose

When Pryor runs all over you, you know you have a sh!tty Defense. I don't see how we can beat SF or Seattle TBH.

And the Offensive playcalling... what a joke. 23 pass plays to 26 run plays. Is that for fcuking real. A team with Andrew Luck, as historically shoddy as we are at running it, and we pass it >50% 0f the time. That's pathetic TBH. I see us lucky to go 8-8 if we don't utilise the one guy who can win us games -- Luck and his arm.

More negatives than positives but...

Positives:
Luck was quality! First two drives the raiders had no answer for him!

Reggie might be getting better! I know it's hard to believe but he may be!

Fewer balls dropped! Good start, hopefully we can keep it going!

Landry - I thought he was our best player on defence by a long distance!

Negatives:

Run defence - we've decided to shore up the middle of the defence! Probably would have worked about 3 years ago! Pryor just ran around us yesterday! Was Walden really brought in to set the edge?

No pass rush! No more needs to be said really!

Play calling on offence! Some ridiculous ones including the play action on 4th and short! Why not run that on third down if you know you're gonna go for it on 4th down!

Coby Fleener - anonymous!

TY - why wasn't he involved more? Crazy stuff!

14-0 lead and stop playing! It seems the team are happy just to do enough!

Also I'd start going no huddle more! Luck is well able to handle it! We should be looking at offences like the Pats or Denver and following their lead!

Raiders fan here, guys. Just wanted to say well done to you guys yesterday. Very enjoyable game and best of luck for the rest of the season!

Thanks dude. Good game last night. Indy let the game slip, but you guys are better than people give you credit for. Pryor definitely has the potential to win the starting job.

The playcalling was horrific. Andrew Luck threw an 80% completion rate (if you exclude the obvious PI that wasn't called), and you use the kid's arm LESS than half the time.

But here's what Irks me: you're behind by 3 with 8 minutes to play, and you eat the clock? ARE YOU FCUKING KIDDING ME? All you're doing is ensuring you don't get another chance to score (should you miss a field goal, or (as happened) the opponent gets the ball back with a few minutes to go). It's ****ing madness. You look at how well New England managed the clock last night -- it won them the game -- and see that last night? It just stank of inexperience. There was an article on MMQB a few weeks ago about BA's obsession with clock management. It seems we are going to seriously miss that this season.
