Quick Thought on the Win Over the Bills
o
Thought ....... singular ...... and since nobody else started one of these threads, which have essentially been a weekly ritual here on ColtFreaks. 1) ) Perhaps the biggest play of the game was when Carson Wentz somehow managed to escape what looked to be a sure sack on 3rd and 10 in the 2nd quarter, and instead ran 18 yards for the first down. At the time, many Colts fans ...... myself included ...... were having the proverbial Groundhog Day feeling of "Oh, no, here we go again." At the time of this very pivotal play, the Colts were clinging to what felt like a very precarious 14-7 lead. What happened was that they had jumped out to a 14-0 lead, but then allowed the Bills to score a touchdown to cut the deficit to 14-7. On their next possession, the Colts were looking at 3rd-and-10, and the very real possibility of having to give the ball right back to the Bills. After fading back in the pocket, Mario Addison appeared to have Wentz dead to rights for a sack. At that point, many Colts fans (again, myself included) were feeling like, "Oh, no ...... please let's not see a repeat of what happened in the Titans game, the Ravens game, and so many other Colts games in recent history in which they failed to deliver the knockout punch after taking a big early advantage, and subsequently allowed the opponent to come storming back." But that feeling of dread quickly subsided when Wentz somehow managed to duck underneath Addison, run straight ahead for an 18-yard gain, and get the 1st down. Instead of having to punt the ball back to the Bills, the Colts were now within field goal range. Michael Badgley wound up booting a 36-yard field to increase the Colts' lead to 17-7. The special teams then immediately recovered a fumble at the Bills' 2 yard-line on the ensuing kickoff, Jonathan Taylor punched the ball into the end zone on the first play from scrimmage to give his team a commanding 24-7 lead, and the Colts never looked back after that.

Agreed - definitely a big play that changed the momentum of the game. For such a large guy, Wentz has impressive escapability skills.

No criticism from me. We basically saw what they can do if they play a perfect game and everything goes their way. Refreshing for a change.
We will see what the Bucs and pats do soon. I think the Bucs have a great run D. Fast linebackers behind a big dline. And you know belicheat will want to take away Taylor. It’s what they do, take away the number one option. |

I agree that was a pivotal play. I hope that they spend this weeks' practice working on their pass blocking. It has been poor all year long. I'd really like to see the passing game when Wentz has as much time as Brady does.

The only thing that has remotely slowed down Taylor this year is Reich when he chooses not to feature JT. Point being: RTDB at all costs, until someone can prove they can stop it. JT is a game changer |

The improvement on pass defense on this team is significant. We are getting some push with the pass rush also. If these trends continue we have a shot at not only making the playoffs but of having a deep run. I'm not all that worried about the offense. The line is playing much better. The win over Buffalo gave me some hope. Beat Tampa and hope starts to turn into belief.

The pass rush has still been hugely inconsistent, Paye looks like he is improving, but i generally have little confidence that a 4 man rush is going to create much cause for concern for most offensive lines. I will predict we barely touch Brady this weekend, happy to be proven wrong and take him out of the game early with a monster collision from Dayo, Paye and Buckner. But Brady is generally too savvy to take the big hits.

I also noticed from the snap counts that Banogu got a few snaps in this game, rather than being inactive, wonder if he has turned the corner during practices in the week. He and Turay have barely done anything the last 4 or 5 games and firmly behind the likes of Muhammad, Paye and Odeyingbo, with even Rochell seeing more game time.
