So after watching Monday Night Football and seeing the Colts lose on the road to an inconsistent San Diego team I am not going to eat the tripe that ESPN and NBC will be feeding us to hype this game Sunday night.
First of all the red zone was a big issue for the Colts. They could not rush the ball, only 40 yards for their new RB. Our Defense is soild vs the run. Luck made bad decisions and it seemed that SD knew all their tendencies. The only thing I am worried about is that Luck will just load up and chuck it deep as our coverage has been an issue the last 2 weeks.
I know road wins are tough, but this is the house Peyton built, he excels playing in a dome and it will let some of our team speed shine. I didn't see much from Indy as far as pass coverage or even from the pass rush. Even if we have to play with a jury rigged OL the depth at RG is good. I would rather do what they did in game than try to throw Justice out there but that is not my call.
I know that the Jags and their new QB gave us all they could and scored 19 on us (7 of which were a gift) but if we don't turn it over and we continue doing what Manning has been able to I am not as worried as all the media outlets are trying to make this out.
There is still "Any Given Sunday" but you got to believe this is the game Peyton wants to win of all the games on the schedule.
Anyone else have any thoughts on what to watch for or expect from the Colts this week?
