I think indy plays a ton of cover 3? It's a matchup I dont particularly love because they'll probably force us to beat them in the short game. The good news is Seattle was maybe a great blueprint for how we do it and we were really rolling in the second half.

They play mostly C2/Tampa 2

If we get a lead and get conservative, take the ball out of Mahomes hands, their wish may come true.

They’ve had to work harder to score but they’ve still gotten it done at basically the same clip.

Unfortunately this is the exact script for how we lost our last two playoff games.
As crazy as it sounds I would like to see a closer game all the way through so we don't have a chance of Andy and Bob going conservative too soon once again. We need to stay aggressive on both sides of the ball for four quarters.

I tend to agree. But luck has been dangerous as hell in the 4th. Usually gets off to slow starts. I hate giving Reid this situation but it's unfortunately our best option. My only hope is Reid suffered enough embarrassment from the last indy game with SD being nail in the coffin to realize no lead is ever safe.

This is asking a lot:-) especially when our defense is mimicking the defense that allowed a 28 pt comeback. But IIRC our defense was severely beat up with Houston out back then. Did Berry play that game or was that the year the dirty Bills player took out his knee?

Ah, nice. Tampa 2 with less pressure could be a nightmare for the Colts vs mahomes. I hope.

He won’t bro. Thats how he is.

Unfortunately, we have to accept the fact that Andy Reid gets conservative in the playoffs. He has done this numerous times. It best explains a lot of his choke jobs with us and philly. That was a big reason he wore out his welcome in philly.

FYP ....and btw we do have a manure defense when it comes to the LB and 2ndary positions and why Boss made his point about a high scoring game.:-)
[Reply]

We need to get them in a hole quickly and keep them from the running game. PM2 needs to take what he can get instead of going for the home run. That will open up after he picks them apart on 8-10 yard strikes. Finally, both Andy and Bob (or whichever D coach is calling the plays) need to keep their boot on the Colts throat. If we hang 50 on them to their 14, so be it, it's playoff time.
[Reply]

I think he can get big chunks (15-20 yards) over the middle against that D.

I agree BUT Watkins needs to play and our O-line needs to step up even more ensuring we can run to keep their LBs and 2ndary honest because they are GOOD while neutering their interior d-line pressure up the middle which is where I think they will attack in order to get to Pat IMHO.

Like I have said in previous posts Watkins needs to play ensuring we will outscore them because whoever the Colts decide to double Mahomes literally will have 2-3 other lethal offensive weapons 'wide open' to choose from. IF Watkins plays and we can establish a respectable run game Pat will not have to be 100% perfect just 85-90% perfect(scoring TDs that is) on every possession because our LBs and 2ndary are that bad.

The Colts O-line is bad ass therefore we won't have a pass rush IMHO with the Colts attempting to keep Pat on the sidelines chewing up the clock with the run scoring TDs with timely big downfield passes.

If the Colts win the toss they will take the ball first in order to get that chance to hit us in the mouth first like they did the Texans. No way do they defer giving an MVP QB with 50 TDs and 5K passing with magical vision, howitzer arm, computer like brain, with uncanny athletic ability to make plays to hit them in the mouth first especially being on the road in the playoffs against the No.1 seed.

How about instead of you posting here anymore, you commit some suicide?? Thanks

3-3 in the last six games. Gave up 38 to Seahawks, 33 to raiders, and 29 to chargers. Going to be a high scoring game.
