The Colts vs. The Broncos ...... The Game of the Year (To Date)

[omahacolt]

I really don't see a way the colts win this game.


the colts generally come out flat when they have to win. the importance of the game will be lost on these guys. there is no accountability or leadership in that facility.


I doubt the Broncos will have that issue.

2nd ranked scoring defense in the league. They also lead the league in sacks.

AR will likely struggle in this game.

I don't see how anybody could objectively make this claim. As I stated earlier, the Colts have been one of the most unpredictable teams in the NFL since the retirement of Andrew Luck ...... this season alone, they beat the Steelers (one of the best teams in the AFC), and they lost to the Jaguars (arguably the worst team in the entire NFL.) Additionally, the Broncos are a pretty good team, but they aren't the Lions, the Chiefs, or even the Packers ...... they just barely beat the Browns with the help of 2 pick-6's from Jameis Winston.

If you assert that the Broncos should be favored to win this game on their home-field in Denver, you will get no argument from me ...... but saying that there is no way possible that the Colts could win this game, as though we're talking about Curtis Painter and the 2011 Colts going up against Joe Montana and the 1989 49ers is a pretty radical claim.

this is a must win game

you know, the kind of game the colts seem to always lose. the broncos aren't world beaters so sure there is a possibility the colts win. I just don't see this version of the colts being able to win

I can't see the Colts beating the Broncos either. Bo Nix will destroy Gus Bradley's lame ass. Playing 10 yards off the line of scrimmage when it's 3rd and 3 is maddening. I really hope I'm wrong about this, but I doubt it.

Like I said, you'll get no argument from me on this.

But your original statement asserted that there was no way that the Colts would win, and I believe that that is a stretch.



Unlikely that the Cots will win, yes.

Highly unlikely that the Colts will win, perhaps.

But no way that the Colts will win, that's pretty far out there.

Depending on how you look at it... One reason for optimism is that they have played winnable games where one side showed up and the other side just flat didn't.

If they can hit the refresh button now, get some guys back (most impactful would be Brents), and put together an all around game... They can beat DEN which gives them a great shot at running the table.

Agreed ..... at the very least, I think that the Colts have the proverbial puncher's chance to win this game.



I have no problem with anybody who is pessimistic about the Colts' chances to win this game.

In fact, I don't even have a problem with anybody who predicts that the Colts will lose the game by more than 10 points.

But I would strongly rebut saying that the Colts don't have a prayer to win the game, because the play of either team this season (the Colts and/or the Broncos) would not indicate that at all.


I agree with most of what Omaha said in his most recent post in this thread, but his original assertion that there is no way that the Colts could win does not seem objective.

I think Bo Nix is the type of quarterback who will feast on Gus Bradley’s soft zone, where nothing is ever different.

Even as a rookie. I think Payton is a good coach and he will coach Nix up more than enough to beat our Colts.
