2014 Colts season prediction:

[BE Mike]

When they get Clowney back, that D will be a topo 5 unit.

When we get Mathis back, we will be a top defensive unit.

 

[hooky]

When we get Mathis back, we will be a top defensive unit.

I hope he makes it back. Then I hope he hasn't lost a step.

Guess who is still "Perfect" in his predictions...

All bets are off going forward, though.

I have the Colts losing the next three games. And while they're certainly able to lose these games...the Steelers (play tonight) and the Giants just aren't very good this year - as compared to years past. Plus, the Colts generally struggle against the AFC North (well, most of them...) and against most NFC opponents.

Colts may have a slight advantage next weekend due to the Steeler's 1-day less rest, but don't count on it. And Eli Manning is capable of having a 400yd day at any point.

I'll stick with my loss against the Patriots, though.

I'll be shocked if the Colts don't win at least two of the next three...and if everyone's healthy they're capable of winning all three.

After yesterday's game, I think the Colts might not be up for the Steelers, but I'm not so sure that they won't come back and win at least one out of the next three.

 

[hooky]

I've only been able to stomach short stretches of the Steelers games I've seen on TV. They're not that good, plus they're coming off a short week. They're only a 3 pt favorite tonight at home.

Were we watching the same game?

 

[BE Mike]

Ah, well yeah. My point is that after playing so hard, especially defensively, as well as, riding high on a 5 game winning streak, I think it might be hard for them to regroup mentally for the next game. I hope I'm wrong.

 

[Oresti]

I have to admit, I'm getting ahead of my self but that Dallas game in week 16 could be game of the year material.

 

[chipbennett]

Before the season, I had the Colts winning between 11 and 13 games, handily winning the division, and the Denver game in Week 1 having direct seeding implications. I think that's still pretty solid.

I'm still pissed about having the Eagles game stolen.

I know, right? Who would have thunk it? The Cowboys have been stinking the place up for years...

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Still dead on in your picks.

I'm eating a little crow. They looked great this afternoon.

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Ahem... 8-0...

Credit where credit's due - the Colts D, short handed, but still gave up over 500 passing yards yesterday and the D-line was THOROUGHLY THRASHED by the Pittsburg O-line. Give Big Ben that kind of time and you're going down hard. They did. The pick 6 from Luck didn't help, but it didn't cost them the game. The O scored plenty, the D just couldn't even stand up to that Pittsburg O-line. Big Ben needed a lawn chair back there.

 

[indytechnerd]

From the few minutes that I saw of the game, it looked like Roflsburger had enough time to fill out Christmas cards back there.

Im with you. I've been a Stiller fan forever. It's been hard to watch with moments of brilliance. Have to hand it to Big Ben for yesterday's show. Boom!

PS if my inlaws in Indy are reading this:

Not gloating...it was a loss. It did look like the Steelers, especially Roethlisberger was as fired up as we were flat.

Big Ben is an incredible QB, proven over the years, got rings to prove it. However, with that much time, just about any NFL QB worth his salt could have racked up big numbers. Never seen an O-Line that dominant. Indy couldn't blitz. They could have blitzed 13 and still not ever laid a hand on him. It was painful.

I was surprised that we put up the numbers we did with the O and D line under-performing like they did.
