Thank You Chud...

Only 3 teams have scored less than 27 against the colts this year.

only 4 teams have scored more than 27, and 1 of those scored 28...

On the other hand, we're the first team the Colts have scored more than 10 points against in a month. :(

Just goes to show...you can make stats say all kinds of things....

It's a learning experience by all. But the Colts suck against the run, which is why he stuck with it.

[KillerKat]

we squeezed out a win against one of the worst teams the NFL has ever seen and it's his best called game?

yea because defense sucking balls had nothing to do with it :rolleyes:

Does this count as a moral victory?

[mav1234]

No, it counts as an actual victory.

Lets ignore Shockey's fumble in Colt's territory and the blocked FG...

That is what happens when you have a double digit lead in the second half.

Total runs/Runs by RBs:

Ignoring runs by Cam? How convenient. Cam is just as much a part of the running game as JStew and DeAngelo.

total runs would include Cam, but they also include scrambles, etc. Since there is no "designed run" category on any stats page I have access to and I don't have access nor time to watch every single game, I thought it was fine to include "Total runs" with his scrambles.

On the other hand, it's interesting to look at our running back usage, because imo that is what most people are upset about when they complain about our running game not being properly utilized.

The read option is called by Chud and is 50/50 whether the RB gets the ball. And the Panthers are running that more and more each game. In fact, I think they ran it more against the Colts than in any other game.

yeah, though honestly i don't think we should go away from the run so much just 'cause a game is close, at least when our backs are gaining the yardage they are. Last week was frustrating in that I felt like we could have held off the Lions a bit more if we'd utilized our running game more.

And it worked quite well. I was talking to a buddy this morning before the game and said they should run the ball more and use that option play. I'm glad they did!

That may be true, but our overall number of carries has not gone up much since the middle of the season.

It looked like we ran the read option maybe three times this game. Perhaps I'm wrong there though. No idea how that compares to other games.

[Mr. Burgundy]

we were winning the entire game...of course hes going to run the ball
