Each week I provide for you a few highlights of what opposing fans are saying. 

This week, the Colts, from their official message board.. 

Colts fans worried about the rain in Charlotte... 

Quote

Panthers are a ground and pound team, we are a finesse team, reminds me of the superbowl with Colts and Bears

Quote

Reminds me scarily of Colts laying an egg on MNF vs Chargers before turning around on a short week and beating the Broncos at home in 2013 

On how to beat the Carolina Panthers

Quote

Run the Ball

Protect 12

Don't have 12 throw 40+ times

Run the ball


This game has that SF 49ers feel to it when we beat Kapernick & Co. 

A top defense with a suspect offense. If the good Colts show up, we win this easily. Bad Colts show..... Pagano could be looking for a new job sooner than later 

Quote

On offense: RUN THE BALL AND SCREEN PASSES.  Get the ball out of Lucks' hands quick and to the edges away from that DLine and Kuechly.

 

On defense: PRESSURE AND CONTAIN CAM. He doesn't have the weapons to go downfield, so run-blitz like crazy.  If he gets rushed and frustrated, he won't play well.  Single high safety shadowing Olsen should be enough to stop their passing game.

 

X-factor - TOLBERT.  That man is scary, and if they get him going, it will be a long night for our D.  He is like a moving wall when he is a blocker, and he can run and catch...

 

Overall, the Colts fans seem like a pleasant,  knowledgeable bunch that is hard not to like. Will be a nice change of pace from hosting Philly fans a week ago.

lol they say throwing a screen pass gets it away from Kuechly when he's more than likely already diagnosed it and they'll be throwing right to him. Not to mention he has the D-coordinator in his helmet telling him what to expect pre-snap. 

Or they get to the edge away from Luke, but uh oh, maybe they haven't heard of Thomas Davis.

Another fan base thinking outdated ways are how you stop Cam....

pressure Cam and he will falter? Doesn't seem like any opponent has a clue how crazy good Cam has been the last couple seasons under pressure.  It ain't 2012.   Last two seasons Cam has been one of the best in the NFL when pressured. 

As far as running at us.  The Gore style RBs are the ones we always seem to contain.  It is the speeder RBs we tend to bottle up and allow the one or two big runs that always throw are defensive efforts out of whack

The Colts fan base doesn't know much of anything about our team. Hell I wasn't even expecting Cam to play like he has this season, and I follow this team on a daily basis even in the off-season. Colts fans certainly don't know that Cam is playing at an elite level, and that our defense now has the best MLB, DT, and CB in the NFL. They just know Luke is really good, so they probably want the offense to run to the outside to avoid him. Ask the Eagles coaching staff how that dumb ass idea worked.

It seems one of them watched Tolbert's great run on Sportscenter, and so now he's worried about him. Trust me Tolbert is the least of their worries. That interception machine Luck is going to give us an early Christmas. The Colts are not built to ground and pound with their running game against a nasty physical defense. The Colts are a weak high flying passing team that needs to own the air to win. They'll lose in the trenches against us on both sides of the ball, and that will make Luck look very unlucky.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      I see both sides of the arguments, but compared to last year we're somehow at an upgrade over completely fried Dalton and wasn't even good in college Plummer. At least Pickett and Grier probably have some desire to make more money when Dalton was happy to just go through the motions and I will never understand why they even bothered with Plummer.

      After watching Dan for 3 yrs now, I think I understand his plan. It’s a simple plan that should work for the long run.     I saw some of this last yr. Dan wants a vet and a young player at each position. I really think we go OT if one they like there. Moton is aging, Icky will not be back until 27, if ever. We need to get ahead of the tackle problem

      You are just stressing too much about these particular positions. You want to upgrade from Bryce and I understand that but you aren’t going to really get that without getting into a bidding war for a QB2 potential QB1 like Willis. You could possibly trade for Mills or the backup for Chicago but they are still gambles and their teams will won’t decent picks.  Again the Eagles thought KP was a capable enough backup to trade for him once their backup was hurt and won a Super Bowl with him as QB2. The point is most teams aren’t rolling with some stud QB2/3 that is going to push even a bottom tier starter. They are better off the building their roster in other areas. The Rams are rolling with Bennett right now as QB2 for example.  The goal is winning absolutely. We overachieved last year even with stumbling into the playoffs. Another year and this staff needs to take the next step in building a team. Will Grier has little to no impact on that….
