At a certain point Wentz is going to have to win a game for us. Can he do that?

BTW McAfee is all about the Colts SB bound today.

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.

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!
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-...s-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.

I'm OK with them giving some carries to Deon Jackson... he looked good both in preseason and the few snaps he got a couple of snaps and a TD a couple of weeks back.

We need to get Hines his touches first. He’s too good and paid too well to not get them. He’s one of our best weapons.
