Pitt is biting hard on the run, the Colts should hand off and have the RB pitch it back for a pass into the endzone.

Sunday nite game should be over after the 2nd qtr, get a good nite sleep for MNF.

[QUOTE=GMScud;839571]The only thing they have a shot at is Andrew Luck. I don't know if I've ever seen such a 1 man team in any sport ever. I mean, maybe LeBron in Cleveland, but the Colts truly suck.[/QUOTE]

Yeah post-LBJ Cleveland definitely comes to mind. Honestly though the Colts defense isn't missing Peyton, and so far they don't look good either. They need the points Peyton puts up but overall the Colts without Peyton are just a bad team.

Colts td!!!!

Pittsburgh is basically playing the odds. They are telling Collins to beat them with the pass and if I were them I'd do the same. The only matchup that will keep them in the game is their pass rush against Roethlisberger (which did just score them the td), but I don't think it's gonna be enough in the end.

Re: Around the NFL week 3
 

[quote=SBXVII;839568]Yeah I think I'm with you on this one. I figured no way the Colts go 0-2 last week and they did. I just can't imagine them going 0-3. The announcers talked about Payton being up in the booth I presume passing the plays down or helping to give suggestions as to what play to use.

Edit: well TD by Steelers. We could end up being all wrong. lol.[/quote]

If Collins can gain some respect from his O, they actually have a slim chance. Fun game so far.

Re: Around the NFL week 3
 

INT!! hahaha. I'm loving this!

Re: Around the NFL week 3
 

Yeeaaaaahhhh Lefeged

If the colts can keep forcing turnovers they might actually have a shot. Their run defense has been good in the first half and their pass defense has been good when it can get pressure. It's been closer than I thought it would be, even though the colts o has to keep settling for field goals.

Re: Around the NFL week 3
 

This Colts/Steelers game is a huge surprise. I took the Steelers in an eliminator pool this week thinking it was the safest play of the day. Normally I would be psyched that the upset was on.

Re: Around the NFL week 3
 

I took the Chargers in the survivor pool this week. My wife took the Steelers though.

How about Shaun Suisham showing why we cut him? Doinked a 36 yarder that would've tied it.

Typical suisham. Miss from 36 but make from 44. Kicking really is a mental thing.

Makes me wonder how at this point, even with elite athletes that more focus hasnt been paid to nutrition and supplementation...

Wowwww. Curtis painter missing the easiest 7 points he'll ever have the opportunity for. And on the next play Antonio brown with the nice punt return.

I changed my pick from the Chargers at the last minute. I was worried about McCluster and that horrible Chargers special teams unit. Also, it's Norv Turner in September.

Hopefully Painter mails it in, and I take the W.

Re: Around the NFL week 3
 

So much for the Colts...but it looks like their defense finally remembered that Manning doesn't play D.

Really bad pocket awareness by Painter on that strip sack there. I don't think the Steelers will relinquish this lead.

Watching this game, it's really easy to see how much Peyton means to that team. They have zero credibility on offense without him.

Stillers are embarassing themselves. Addai is shredding them.

Gotta respect teams that develop projects well and trade or play them later on.

Indi's supporting cast has been great tonight...

I gotta give the colts credit. Guys aren't giving up without Peyton. They're still in this game.

Watching this game, it's easy to see that the Colts should've stuck with the guy that knows the offense (Painter) instead of Collins.

Ouch. Steelers out of healthy offensive linemen.

Agreed. Painter is far from an NFL ready product but he's better than Collins.

Colts d let them down when they needed them the most. Ouch. It's up to suisham.

Re: Around the NFL week 3
 

Why do I feel like Suish is going to miss this?

Well the Colts offense gave up the TD.

[QUOTE=Ruhskins;839618]Well the Colts offense gave up the TD.[/QUOTE]

True but that's what happens when your backup qb never gets to play in games or in practice. I'm not saying the blame lies solely on the d but if they hadn't let Pittsburgh go down the field at the end of the game they'd have had a better shot at winning it.

[quote=Dirtbag59;839512]Anyone else starting to think that the Eagles should have kept Kolb. Guy has a 110 rating on the year and more importantly he stays healthy.[/quote]

I believe Kolb is 5-7 as a starter, with 16 career TD's and 17 INT's. I think he's extremely overrated. Although he shows flashes he's still an unproven commodity IMO.

Re: Around the NFL week 3
 

Eagles problem is they can't stop the run at all plus the OL sux

[quote=skinsfaninok;839644]Eagles problem is they can't stop the run at all plus the OL sux[/quote]

Hmmm, this sounds similar to Indy's problems in the past. They used to get gashed in the running game....and well, Manning's career might be done since the hits added up.

Looks like Manning is out for the season.

He's confirming something we already knew all along. Major props to that radio host for breaking the story (which the Colts denied...but ended up being true). Hope things heal well for him, as the guy has plenty left.

Re: Around the NFL week 3
 

I can't see manning coming back. The team most likely is going to finish 2-14 maybe 3-13. Why come back to that?

And then Manning will get to tutor Andrew Luck for the next couple seasons if he doesn't retire.

Looks like the QB performances in general this week took a turn for the worse. No one broke 90 and only 13 players had TQBRs over 50.

If that happens I'll elevate the colts up my most hated list.
