Colts Week

Who scares you most on this team? Where can we exploit them? For me it's luck and Bradshaw. Luck can throw for 350 and 4 TD...but can also throw for 350 with 2 TDs and 2 INTs. Bradshaw out of backfield scares me as he is having a great year.

I think pats and gronk will have success vs their D..and if it gets into a shootout..i trust our D more then theirs.

They rank at the top in near all parts on O. On D against the pass they are 26th..so not great. I expect to see more passes then runs this week but i hope they stick to the run if it works early.

Gronk and Lafell with a big week IMO

pretty cool interview with some of the veterans asking questions

Vontae Davis is a legit corner. Whoever he isn't covering will thrive, though. Toler is alright but he isn't better than either LaFell or Edelman, IMO.

Sergio Brown and Darius Butler will both have big games for us.

I'm most worried about TY Hilton, obviously, nobody has the speed to keep up with him so he'll need to be bullied and bracketed, make throwing to him too risky, Luck will take his shots and will connect, make Hilton pay for Luck's trust in him.

Luck can make every throw, but he can also screw up a lot of them, whether it's arrogance or stupidity, he makes his share of mistakes. We need to capitalize, they can score with anyone in the league despite Luck making a bone headed play here and there.

I don't think their secondary can match up with our offense. LaFell, Gronk, and Edelman are clicking right now and of course Brady is playing out of his mind.

I see Luck making a few mistakes and we win a tough 10-14 point game.

Ya i would say 7-10 pt win

Been snooping on Broncos forum, they are just dying to see us lose our next few games,Its hilarious.

Colts have not beaten a top team, and lost to the only 2 they played, plus Pittsburgh.
Defense is very weak.
They will put up yards, especially playing from behind because they have receivers with a variety of skillsets, and Luck has the arm to use the entire field, but I don't see a close game at all. BB will trap Luck into throwing to the wrong place a few times. Luck will find the weak spot a few, and also make a couple of great throws.

Luck will have a manning like day i think..lots of yards..2 TDs...but 2 INTs or a fumble

Bradshaw scares me however..collins to cover him out of backfield? I like Collings on their TE. Revis can lock down Hilton.

Darius Butler has played pretty well for them. Last year he had 15PD and 4 int

Yes, Butler is playing well. It is always easy to make believe that any player we cut is terrible. Butler, Brown and Ihedigbo are playing elsewhere. Belichick used 2 seconds and 2 thirds to try and replace them, drafting Dowling, Wilson, Ryan and Harmon. I would prefer the 3 that left straight up. The fact that we used top draft choices only makes the comparisons more clear.

BTW, we could ignore Dowling as an injury failure. Butler and Ihedigbo, IMHO, are better than Ryan and Harmon.

Wilson is a better safety than Brown, but it is difficult to judge since we are discussing a ST position for the patriots.

Big game.

A win by the Patriots all but wraps up a first round bye.

AFC North is going to probably come down to who can be 11-5 with the tie breakers cause it is so competitive.

Colts will effectively be 3 games behind the Patriots due to the tie breaker.

So some Colts fans prefer Sergio Brown starting over Landry. What's the deal here? Has Brown improved since being demoted here in New England?

I wouldn't go THAT far...but i agree..it would put us in PRIME spot for #1 or #2 and the all needed bye

We lose and we are still in hunt for #2..but will be much tougher..

Game is actually a very big one and playoff seedings IMO. Like i said..lose to GB..not Colts

Who is one guy from each team who will be key for their team to win. And you can't pick the QB...

Collins and Allen for me

Colts TEs this year have already outproduced from all of last year

I think this is going to be Landry first game back from suspension. He tested positive for PED's. He's also been considered before the suspension a huge bust.

O.T the fact that it took the league this long to nail this roid head should tell them their drug testing is seriously flawed.

I hadn't thought of that. Good point.

Huge game for us..it is just the next one but a good team win over a team that is leading in a lot of offensive categories will give us a lot of confidence and put us in a real good good position.

We will continue to need to prove it afterwards obviously but this game I think is a pretty big one.

Hilton is absolutely the most concerning. We need to game plan around this guy.

I feel quietly confident about this game. We've have their number ever since luck arrived. We have forced him in to multiple turnovers and have absolutely carved their defence apart. I don't mean to make that sound ****y and over confident but it seems like Belichick and McDaniels have these guys pretty much sussed out.

They are incredibly dangerous on offense however and they have scored their share of points against us. I do think we are a much better defence than in the past couple of meetings however so that fills me with some confidence.

Luck makes a lot of mistakes. More so than Manning at this stage in his career. He's smart and a freak athlete but stares down his receivers and if you can contain him and make him stand in the pocket..taking away his first couple of reads...he'll force the issue.

Those last four words could be about any QB not named Tom Brady. It's amazing how few mistakes he makes.

I'm worried about this game. It's on the road.

The Colts used to be one of my favorite teams back when they were in Baltimore and had Johnny U at QB (another QB better than Peyton btw).
Then they slithered out of town in the middle of the night, took the team to Indianapolis demanding that all of the Baltimore team's history go with them.
Then the NFL put them in a pancake division for Manning's kid to flourish under the legendary horseshoe.
And they topped it all off by bagging a whole season to get Andrew Luck to further tarnish the legacy of Unitas and enhance that of P6.
Oh, I forgot one. When given a chance to go for the perfect season, they dumped games on purpose instead of going for the gold, and had the gall to openly tarnish the Pats attempt at 19-0 and use that as their excuse.

They also have the worst owner in the NFL and some really strange fans.

If the Pats were able to pull off a win in Indy on Sunday, I'll be
