It's all about match ups. Just because the Colts defense looked bad against the Ravens and really it was only the last 10+ minutes of the game when they had no healthy cornerbacks, doesn't mean they'll look bad against us. The offense which had been mediocre all year, piles up 500 yards of offense against Baltimore? The names are there, but the Ravens defense is not good anymore. They can't pressure without blitzing and without Peters, the corners are shaky, Marlon Humphrey notwithstanding.
blah, blah, yada yada.
Obviously every game is different but that's why it's hard to talk about it now before we even get an idea of who will be playing for the Colts. They have guys like Ty Hilton and Quenton Nelson who may be eligible to play against us, certainly that gives them a huge boost to their offense if both or even one are back.
However we may be getting some guys back as well. Regardless I like our chances. I'm hoping Kyle stops playcalling like he's scared to actually let our guys play and our guys execute.
Buckner will be looking to terrorize us. We better have a game plan to counter that…aka run the s**t out of the ball.
