Why we will beat indiacrapolis this week

Luck is on our sides this week ladies and gentlemen. The last time Harbaugh faced Peyton Manning and the Colts we had a miraculous come from behind win that was filled with offense. Of course that was Jim and not John and it was 10 years ago but who cares. Maybe Coach Harbaugh can call his bro up and see if he's got any insider info on how to win this game.

Seriously i do think the colts defense will be much easier of a setting for Flacco than the past two weeks have been. We should be able to run the ball more effectively(more McClain) which should set up the pass. I saw Todd Heap play the other day and it would be really nice to see Flacco able to throw to two targets now instead of just Mason but we'll see.

We have got to dominate the whole game, not some of it. Score Points, Make sacks (none in the past 6 quarters), And be able to take advantage of the only thing weve ever been able to do(kick feildgoals) Right now Im very worried about matt stover. Our entire special teams must get better. Kickoff and Punt returns have looked weak. Kickoff coverage has looked weak. If Harbaugh, the former special teams coach can get that back in order we could have a good chance this week. I dont like Indiacrapolis. And i dont like referee's at all.

The opinions posted here are those of the administrator of this blog and his loyal readers. They are in no way official comments from the team, and should not be misconstued as such, even though he thinks he could do just as well or even a better job!

Agree on all points

The no sacks in last 6 quarters is troubling. The left side of the kickoff coverage was abused. We haven’t been creative since the reverse on opening day. I can picture Cam and Harbaugh opening Billick and Cavenaugh’s old trunk then dusting off the recipe book for chicken sh_ _ and brain farts. I already have mega doubts about this undynamic duo. It bothers me even more that Miami already has 2 wins now that Cam is gone….and no Jason Taylor.

Don't be so sure

Indy came from behind with four minutes left and scored 21 points. The Ravens have only score over that in an entire game only once. The issue to me now is not whether or not we can move the ball and score against Indy’s defense. Now, after watching the Titans drive down the field twice when it mattered, I am more concerned that we will not be able to stop the Colts’ offense. That we will discuss later this week in a main story post.

If Sage Rosenfails had not been such an idiot

The Texans would have one that game.

Actually

Had Houston;s defense not allowed Manning to score on a 4th and 7 with 4:45 to play, Houston might have won. Rosenfels’ turnovers were costly, especially the dive “choppa” play, but Peyton’s 4th down throw and Mathis’ strip fumble were big plays. Also, Rosenfels’ fumble was scoped up and run back 68 yards for a TD. No one bothered to tackle Brackett on the play. The Texans had chances to stop Indy, but their defense allowed 2 TDs late, which ended up killing them.

IDK

After watching the Ravens give up two leads late in the game, im not even sure if we can compete with some oof these teams. The colts may have the best offense in the league and or D seems like they play about 50% when the 4th quater comes around. We can not just go out there and blitz manning or he will eat or coverages up all day. And our offens?…… ill talk about that when rexx post the main story post.

FEAR THE NEVERMORE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can our DB's keep their heads in Indy

Nothing worse then a beatin’ McCallister. If Colt receivers start lighting it up a sore Mc will start laying the illegal would to them. They need to expect a series of YAC passes from Payton and KEEP COOL.

India"crap"olis?

If we’re so “crappy,” how come we’ve kicked your butt for the last 8 years? Maybe, with Ogden retired, you might have someone on your line who can actually block Dwight Freeney.

Awesome..I'm glad you saw that Stampede

I’m now off the hook for offending Jimmy “Ms. Crabtree” Titan last week : )

Indy always finds a way...

…to beat us, and that is just a small part of the hatred. Of course, we all know the other part, which is pretty much the same reason that Cleveland fans hate us as well. It has nothing to do w/ Manning, Harrison, etc., but more to do with the “ownership” and other very old stuff I beg you all not to regurgitate this week. Thanking you, in advance.

Thanks for your class

You have a good, young, delvoping team. I was just commenting on the Indiacrapolis part.

Appreciate the optimism BUT

We stink and are getting worse. The Colts blew us up- daisy cutter style. That goes way beyond surface problems. I don’t see the great young team. Who? Outside of Mason, we don’t have one player who can get open beyond 7 yards. We don’t have a proven young DB. We don’t have a QB. The verdict is out on McClaine and Rice. There’s some good guys in the trenches but that’s it. Special teams….not very good. If we have good young players it might be time to start them.

Peyton Manning

10 years ago did the same thing. I live in Bradeton Florida, were Fabian Washington is a GOD! If that man can get some hands no telling what he could do at CB. He could also be a great kick returner. Your Rice is just like our Hart. I loved watching both play in college. Except when Ruckers played my Ball State in that bowl game. You cant expect a Rookie to come perfect out of the box unless your the Steelers.

If Fabian Washington,...

or any CB had good hands, they’d still be a wide receiver. All wideouts that can’t catch are made into CB’s.

Indiacrapolis

Just a mean swipe at a city that did nothing wrong. It’s just those hard-to-let-go fans that are taking out their venom on the city, rather than the now-deceased owner. We need to move on. I was a huge Baltimore Colts fan and now am a Raven Lunatic!
