It's not a HUGE break, though. A HUGE break would be Andrew Luck being out and even that's pushing it. I don't care how other teams perceive it, I just hate how the media reports everything so negatively when it comes to the Jets. Following beat writers on twitter seems like a waste of life to me. There also seems to be a myth going around that Indy has a weak defense. They do not. They are ranked #7 overall (1 below the Texans) and 4th against the pass. This will be no easy task even with Mathis out. If we're winning this game, we HAVE to run the ball successfully. That is their weakness on defense. With Mathis out we should be able to. If we can establish the run, we'll be fine in this game. If we still had Schotty, that would mean we'd have a pass heavy attack on Sunday, but I trust Sparano ain't that stupid.
Brown isn't that good. The Colts are putting in a rookie RB (Vick Ballard) so who knows what to expect from him? He may still end up running 150 yards on the Jets and is the reason why I'm starting him in fantasy this week.
Me too, but our total position is somewhat misleading. The two teams with the least amount of yards rushed have 50 less attempts than the Jets do, the only team with less than 20 less attempts than the Jets with less rush yards is Arizona. Only two teams have less yards per rush attempts than the Jets. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/rushing/sort/yardsPerRushAttempt The only thing more pathetic than that is that Arizona's offense is somehow even worse, yet they have a 4-1 record. Which means those of you trying to absolve the defense and coaching of any guilt are missing it. At least our special teams are all above average!
Getting Week 1 Stephen Hill would be huge. Getting Weeks 2-3 Stephen Hill would make no difference. And I'll believe Keller is back when I see him run out the tunnel in pads. Guy could hurt himself walking from his car to the locker room.
Now we lost Ellis for 4 to 6 weeks... What's the status on Pouha? This season is turning into an injury riddled joke.
So what does this mean the Colts are gonna go undefeated for the rest of the seASON because there coach is sick???gimmie a fuckin break,
I absolutely fucking loathe the Colts with the burning passion of 1000 suns. You won't believe how many glory Colts fans up here in Western Can riding P Manning's coat tails to a title. It drives me fucking insane, I want this game so bad.
Yeah theres definifely a lot of them as well but like anywhere else people gravitate towards the best teams. Lots of Colts, Pats, and Steelers fans everywhere I go, Giants fans starting to appear too. fuckton of Cowboys fans as well although I'm sure many of theirs are regretting that decision. Need this game!!!!!
Plain and simple the Colts don't stop the run, they don't handle two back set well, if there was ever a game for Greene to live up to the failth the coaching staff seems to have in him it is this week. It is also a great week for some use of the Tebow spread option package. Best way to prevent Wayne from having a big day is so have some solid sustained drives. If they can't run against Indy they won't be able to run against anyone this season. Colts won't have Mathis, their base defense is shit, and you can wear them down. Only their 2nd road game of the season so Luck has to prove that what he did in Chicago isn't what they will see away from their dome.
I'm out east, near Toronto, so you'd expect everyone to be a Bills fan but that's not the case. There is a pretty decent percentage of people out here that are Bills fans because they can go see the games in Buffalo (or Toronto lately). But in my office alone I know of the following: Colts (x2), Browns, Dolphins, Redskins, Steelers and I think I saw someone with a Packers hat one day. Plus I have family/friends who are: Packers, Raiders, 49ers, Eagles, Pats and Bills. So that's, what, 12 different teams (including myself) represented within just the circle of people that I know that are even football fans or make it known which team they support.
The fact that we are going to be running two tight end sets, more mcknight, and stephen hill comes back... I feel really good about this game
Can't find the tweet, but Manish said Wilkerson is going to DT with Devito andCoples going to DE in Wilkerson's spot
Thats weird I would expect Devito to play DT over Wilk. Maybe there is a matchup inside that they want for Wilk.
This game may be painful to watch, maybe? Hope it is not a dull, boring one. I love reading the humor youse guys and gals post here! :up: Is this the official game day thread? Enjoy!
