Colts fans prepare for the pounding

I went browsing the Colts fan sites to gauge how they feel about the Panthers game.

From what I gathered, the Colts fans have one unified message for the Panthers:

"I'll be shocked if we keep this game close. Seriously. This one could be ugly. I'll be surprised if we keep it within 10 points. Hell, I'll be surprised if we even score 10 points!

I'll say Panthers win 31-9. I don't see Luck or our offense doing anything against these guys sadly. This game might be the game that costs peoples jobs...."

"Shut out. Cam manages to put up 25."

"I'll say 28-10 Panthers. Josh Norman has been crazy for the Panthers this year, and I believe he will shut down TY Hilton. I don't see much offense from us and we will get whipped pretty handily."

"panthers 35 to 0 at the half. Luck has two pick sixes from staring down hilton and gore only gets five carries. Luck goes on on scoring fest in second half but too little too late as we lose 35 to 28." 

"It's going to be ugly. Going into their house on a Monday night against one of the best if not the best LB units, top it off with a really good QB that can run the option. I agree with a few of the other posts, I think this game will cost JOBS, although the embarrassment from Sunday should've cost jobs. This game will be over by mid 2nd quarter. Colts-10 Panthers-38."

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
