Running The Ball This Week

That's the formula for success against any team with a high powered offense like the Colts. We should be able to run the ball. I just wish I could say it's a definite. Much of how this game is played will depend on the score, especially during those crucial moments. I hope it's not played in a come from behind mode.

If we score more points we'll win :)


I think you might be on to something, does anyone else know about this. :laughing2

Quite honestly...I'm more worried about the officiating crew than Player Matchups.

I think we can do what we need to win this game...
But we won't get away with hits on Manning like we did with Rodgers like the Alexander play.

All Manning has to do,is throw is hands up after getting knocked down and I see yellow raining down on the field.

We will need to play VERY smart football as well as get some breaks,to take these guys down.

I agree with Smootsmack on this...
It's most likely going to come down to ST's play and turnovers on deciding this game.

Can Banks take one back?
Will Gano be money?
And can we cause turnovers?

There's 2 ways you can beat the Colts....
1)Either run the ball affectively the whole game and eat the clock,while keeping Manning off the field and scoring points on every opportunity.

2)Or cause fumbles and pick Manning which keeps him off the field,gives the offense extra opportunities in scoring and makes the Colts 1-dimensional for sure and pin ears back.

Now, I don't think we're ready to beat them in scenario #1. I just don't think we can...
We don't have the great run blocking to do so or the runningbacks to do it with.
Our best game at this, was against the Eagles and Portis and Torain shared those duties.

Well,we don't have portis right now..

But I do think we can do it in scenario #2!
If our Defense can rip that ball out like they have been training all season,get a pick or 2 against manning and capitalize off those turnovers....we will win this game.

We cannot win this game,if we get late hits on Manning and Pass Interference calls on Wayne and company. They are too good to give them extra shots and Manning extra opportunities.

We must play smart,but aggressive and get some turnovers and capitalize...
And we'll be 4-2!

Honestly I hope this is Albert's breakout game under the new regime. Manning can be an avg QB when rattled...the monster could help make it happen.

As the zen master says...we'll see.


AH is a non factor and probably will be for the entire season. He is just muddling through 2010 to get traded in the offseason, thus he is going to avoid injury at all cost. Everybody and their brother has been posting about how they think AH is going to break out each week thus far, with the exception of last week, and they only get disappointment. Sure this week hopefully is the exception and the start of the new AH, but I just don't buy it. Orakpo is our new AH and a total beast who wants to excel.

The way to beat Manning is to hit him, he doesn't like that, just ask the Patriots who have beaten often by being physical with him.

I thought that AH played pretty well against the Eagles, especially with collapsing the pocket from the inside.

I think the game will be decided on a big turnover and/or special teams play. Just being conservative won't beat Indy

I think our defense will make peyton make a mistake.
Honestly, i believe itll come down to the team that has the ball last.
And I think even if Peyton has the ball last our defense will take it from him!

Maybe overconfidence but we also shut a Packers offensive down that has better athletes across the board. :spank:

This is a false statement.

Did you watch the Eagles games?
AH was certainly a factor in that game, which was the 1st game where he played a decent number of snaps.
Don't fall the media fluff, listen to what the coaches and your eyes show you.
AH can and is playing well.

The running game will be important to beat the Colts. However, we have to be able to get to Manning with three or four d-linemen. If we begin to send more than 4 people at Manning, he will pick us apart.

More like he saved us from the Eagles scoring a TD. The holding call did negate Vick's run to inside the 5.
