View Full Version : The Colts WILL win the SB THIS year
It has been in my mind and now in my bones. This team is perfectly built to run the table.
Yes we lack a substantial pass rush
Yes Wentz can be sketchy at times
BUT!!!!!!!
We have THE BEST running back in the NFL
We have a D that is opportunistic
Even though Wentz is "sometimes" sketchy HE CAN throw the ball, run the ball and make plays. He's pretty good
Turn over advantage. Colts every game
Running game advantage Colts every game
Scoring? We put up some points early every game!!!!!
We dont have PM or AL but what we have CAN AND WILL win ths SB
There is no team we have played that we wouldnt beat right now if we faced them again....NOT ONE
Only teams that scare me are the Cowboys because of their D and the Bucs because of Brady
No team in the AFC scares me!!!!!
Bring on the tacks in the first round. Lets pound the ball down the Chiefs throat and go to the SB!!!!
Nope. I'm not drunk. I believe!!!!!
START BELIEVING..... START BELIEVING!!!!!!

I love the optimism and I wouldn’t be completely surprised if they won this year, but I think they are at least a year away. The lack of pass rush is what I think limits them. They are showing the window is open and it’s now on Ballard to complete the team and push them over the top.

My greatest worry is the WR position. Playoffs are a different animal. I fear we look a lot like the KC team with Larry Johnson that was terrifying until the moment came when they HAD to pass the ball and there just wasn't enough there. We really need another WR to step up and I just don't see that this year. Without Pittman this passing attack is not threatening at all.

Great post Puck. I will say this though, Brady just got the fuck shut out tonight. The Cowboys defense is great against the pass, but Taylor will fuck them up. Love Parsons, wish we had him, but Taylor will run like a madman against that team. I can't remember where I read it, but someone close to the NFL talking heads said that no one wants to play the Colts in the playoffs.
For the first time in forever, the Colts are the fucking physical team and I love it.

Yeah WR2 is an issue as well, but there is the possibility of Campbell returning and adding at least a threat. It’s a strange feeling, but I find myself actually rooting for some bad weather playoff games. Handicapping the passing game helps the Colts on both sides of the ball. They for once are built for it.

If Campbell returns in good shape, TY could benefit greatly. He can be very elusive, especially if Pittman and Campbell are getting loads of attention from the DBs.

I am not so sure that T.Y. can't still be that spark. He has battled through some injuries, but has caught pretty much everything thrown his way this year, from what i can recall. Missed quite a few games, and some of those he has played in, we have decided to emphasis the run. He still knows how to get open.

I've said it before in game threads, there are times I don't see how anybody can beat us....then it's like they just lose their momentum and the game flips on them! I believe this team is certainly capable of winning it all, but these lapses, especially in the second half scare me....if they continue to have those I believe a good team will knock them off.
Having to win three games on the road is a tall order, they need to win the division to give themselves a much more realistic chance to pull it off! But I love the optimism!

I'm with you Puck.... It's getting colder and pretty offenses don't always get it done.. Colts have the kind of team that can win the ugly bad weather playoff games.
Keep in mind they were in the game with every playoff caliber team they lost too. Probably should have won a couple of those had they not shot themselves in the foot.
It could happen.

This team scares me too, no matter the lead we have. Even when the Colts were up 20-0 late in the Patriot game, I was still sweating it out until Taylor scored that late TD. The lack of a pass rush has me so fucking frustrated.

I think Reich has finally seen the light,
We have great game plans early and seem to jump up on everyone and the losses early in the season were tough necessary lessons for Reich
Keep feeding JT and finish teams with the run game
Positive thinking results in positive outcomes.
My thought, this run game plays anywhere. Outside, inside, rain or snow.

I'd feel a lot better about being a hugely run-oriented team for the next seven games if Mack was active on game day.
Every week I worry they are going to overuse JT, and don't understand why MM isn't in there getting a few carries every week.
But I'm not going to second guess the coach on this. Just insanely curious.

(DECEMBER 29th)
Adam Schein rates the 9 teams that he feels are most likely to win it all this season ...... he has the Colts at #6, ahead of the Bengals, the Buccaneers, and the Titans.
https://www.nfl.com/news/who-ll-win-super-bowl-lvi-ranking-nine-most-likely-nfl-champions-as-2021-regular
1) ) Kansas City Chiefs
2) ) Green Bay Packers
3) ) Buffalo Bills
4) ) Dallas Cowboys
5) ) Los Angeles Rams
6) ) Indianapolis Colts
7) ) Cincinnati Bengals
8) ) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
9) ) Tennessee Titans
Indianapolis Colts: ) The defense is superbly coached by Matt Eberflus, but the unit also has 2 big-time difference-makers in LB Darius Leonard and DT DeForest Buckner. Jonathan Taylor is a wrecking ball who is having a season for the ages, currently leading the league in rushing by a whopping 467 yards. Credit is due, of course, to the offensive line, which is a road-grading machine. Carson Wentz has looked both great and worrisome, but it's surely been more up than down ...... though now he needs to work his way back from the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
The Colts team we've seen in December ...... with wins over the Patriots and Cardinals in the past 2 weeks ...... is Super Bowl-caliber. It's a complete squad, brilliantly led by head coach Frank Reich. And with the ability to control the game through Taylor and their stout defense, Indy can win on the road against strong teams. Just ask the Bills, who were blown off of their own field by the Colts last month.

Imagine Cambell can actually playing for an entire quarter without going on the IR.
Dulin is about has terrific speed and he can put a lick on a punt returner, and not miss a quarter.

Mainly for Campbell’s potential and we have seen glimpses of it. Dulin is nice, but I don’t see his potential as anything more than Chester Rogers.

The NFL is a result oriented business. I love Dulin. 20+ special teams tackle. He’s not getting bullied by a CB. When Cambell plays 3 games in a row and makes positive yardage every game, I might get interested

Doesn’t matter if he only plays 1 quarter, defenses have to respect Campbells speed which only opens up yards for JT or pittman
No one fears Chester Rodgers

Other teams dont spend time preparing for Cambell. I have respect for Don Hudson, but neither he or Cambell will keep the Raiders up at night.
Rodgers and Dulin have shown they have the most important ability, AVAILABITY..

Campbell was drafted in the second round for a reason and Dulin was a free agent for a reason. Campbell has a much higher upside. To go deep into the playoffs sometimes you have to strike lightning in a bottle. I'm rooting for that. Plus I believe in luck and the way the COVID story is breaking for us, with Campbell coming back just as playoffs begin it seems obvious to me that Campbell is destined to play a significant role in our march to Super Bowl victory.

Agree about the pass rush, although I am beginning to think that the other parts of the defense are coming together in such a way that we still may have a chance.
Players are unreliable until they are not. You are most likely correct about Campbell but talent is talent and I'm going to continue to hope that his bad luck has ended.
