Indy Is Going Down

TheMalcolmConnection · 10-17-2006, 04:34 PM

People can say what they want, but everyone who has known me has known that I have been a Brunell supporter since he started. He is nowhere near consistent enough to lead this team to the Super Bowl. I don't want him next year, and he won't make enough plays to progress in the playoffs if we would have enough of a miracle to make it.

Malcom did you not read this is the one positive thread. Go choose from the other 1,274,397,387,939 threads to post all that stuff for the 123,234,344,344,344 time. Tafkas gonna block you from this thread if you cannot find something good to add. Right Tafkas?

We will lose in Indy. No two ways about it. 2-5, with 0-2 in the division, and 0-3 in the conference. Would've been nice if the Giants had lost down in Atlanta, but they didn't. We have played like the worst team in our division. This ship does not turn around all of a sudden. A team that can't make the plays needed to win at home in a must-win game against a winless club is not going anywhere. Enjoy the development of Jason Campbell this season (hopefully, he'll get a chance).

If the Titans can play Indy close, the Skins sure can. You look up and down the rosters on paper and we definitely match up with those guys. Their run defense is a weak spot, so our O-line has to play with a chip.

The difference is Peyton, the smartest QB in the history of the NFL. He's pretty much an offensive coordinator in the prime of his playing career. The Colts haven't been blowing anyone out this season and their offense has yet to find its groove. Hopefully their bye week didn't iron out any kinks.

Well if it's any consolation, Al's offense dropped 45 on the Colts when the Chiefs played them in 2004. And Gregg's defense gave up 17 when the Bills played them in 2003.

So logically, the final score will be Redskins 45, Colts 17

Run defense can be a misleading statistic. With Tennessee they got behind in a lot of games which naturally allowed the opponents to run more, thus increasing the total number of rushing yards versus the Titans. Indianapolis, however, has a poor run defense and they have either kept it close or have lead, which prevents an opponent from gaining a lot of clock draining rush yardage.

My point: Indy REALLY sucks at run defense and CP and Co. should have a combined 200+ day!

There's one more key to the game though: Pass rush. We have got to maintain constant pressure on Peyton.

That's a KIND of logic. Like hearsay and conjecture are KINDS of evidence.

Update: Just saw Booger to the Colts. Bad luck for us.

I'm sure you know I'm only teasing. Just trying to add some levity to all this gloom 'n doom.

I do think we can win, however.

Same here. All in good fun.

Seriously, I take hope in the fact that we tend to play to the level of the competition. I'm sure they'll at least have a hop in their step this week. If we can get to 38 minutes of TOP we could win.

I was horrified to see our pass defense in person, though. Other groups (O-line, D-line, kick coverage) are, IMO, under-achieving. This secondary is simply clueless.

All these dropped interceptions and the fumbles that the other teams have been falling on are going to go our way. We keep Peyton in check by keeping him off balance and off the field. Indy is going to take this game just a litttle lite because of the 2 weeks off and its a home game. We know that with their buy last week they watched the skins and just don't think we can beat them. So lets keep this thread positive and I will be the first come Monday to say I Told You So. Oh, Brunell will be some where aroun 17/24 with about 185 yards with a TD to Sellers and one long play to Moss.

All we need to do is watch the film of their playoff game with New England and duplicate what they did, and it's a done deal.

No doubt, 2 games out is not that bad w/10 left. I love this thread cause this is a game i feel good about, we seem to play best w/our backs to the wall. Plus the fumbles have to bounce our way & maybe rogers' broken thumb will actually help him catch an int!

I didn't mean their game with NE, I was really thinking of their last playoff game with Pittsburgh.

We won more when you guys hated the Skins. Talk negative.... and we will be sure to win!!
