What Colts Fans Are Saying

Another fan base thinking outdated ways are how you stop Cam....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

Pressure up the middle is definitely the best way to get after Cam. That's why they said they should run(A-gap) blitz. Up the middle pressure is when he starts back-footing really high throws and and tries to back out of the pocket and can take huge losses if he gets sacked. Luckily the middle is exactly where the strength of our line is located and their LB's are garbage so I don't expect much at all from them if they do try to come at him from there.

This isn't about what Colts fans are saying... but an interesting stat from Peter King about why Panthers should win tonight.   I wasn't really seeing another gameday thread where I could post this...

Take away the glitzy quarterbacks tonight, look at the gritty running games, and you see another reason why Carolina should be 7-0 shortly before midnight in Charlotte.

• Total rushing yards, past 10 regular-season games

Panthers: 204, 135, 133, 119, 172, 105, 194, 209, 123, 271.  
Colts: 75, 120, 110, 60, 133, 93, 64, 64, 1*, 110.

*Not a typo. 10 carries, 1 rushing yard against Dallas last December.

• Average rushing yards per game, past 10 regular-season games

Panthers: 166.5.
Colts: 83.0.

The Panthers have rushed for double the yards—almost precisely—of the Colts over the past 10 games. So even after importing Frank Gore and Todd Herremans in the offseason so Indianapolis would be more competitive on the ground, add “construction of a running game” to the myriad jobs GM Ryan Grigson has on his plate to get this team back to the top of the AFC.

well, the Kalil lose will be interesting.  Both in pass and run.  Stewart had also been doing a lot of underrated dirty work running behind the C/G.

The Colts really do match up poorly against us.  Unless we shoot ourselves in the foot we will win. 

Thank God the Panthers have never been known to do that lol....

The Panthers defense has to be one of the best in the NFL at stopping screens.  Just ask the Saints, been shutting down their screen game for years.

And one does not pressure or contain Cam. Superman

Anyone nervous the Colts are going to come out firing?

 

Everyone in that building is accustomed to having their taints licked by everyone else...well other than the owner.  Just a hunch, I think that they come out slinging it to try to get a lead and make us throw more than we want.

I need Tolbert to punch in a couple of TD'S

no doubt. luckily the rain is supposed to hit the hardest early on, so hopefully they'll fug up royally and we'll get a turnover or six

I think we fall behind early in this one. I think Luck is going to be testing Norman and Josh will anxious to force turnovers because no one throws his way anymore, and he'll get beat a few times early. 27-24 Panthers

Hope so.  Like I said in another thread....I hate playing teams that can score in bunches.

They won't be able to run against us. Gore is not his old self, and even his old self would still struggle to run on us. Their Offensive line is also suspect. This means Luck will be slinging it. Yes he's struggled this year, But Andrew Luck is a good quarterback and capable of big games. we need to respect that. can't give him all day to throw so i think the pressure from our Dline will make him dance around and throw inaccurate passes. Hilton will be neutralized by Norman. He'll start trying to force things and this is where i see us getting a few turnovers. Our Offense will be fine. it's already much better than advertised. they have no defense. 31-17 panthers.

[FuFuLamePoo]

It's weird.  I've been nervous for every single game this season and been feeling uneasy... however for this game it's like I haven't been nervous at all.  No idea what this means.  Think I'm just really confident in this team at this point, hope they bring it tonight.

I think the Panthers would be ok with this. Our whole gameplan usually revolves around stopping the run and forcing the pass.  There defense will be the reason the Panthers win, they are going to have to control Cam and our run game. That's not going to happen.

 

27-10 Panthers.
