Week 14: (8-4) Denver @ (12-0) Indy

[Bear Pand]

You are ridiculous. Peyton Hillis could start on half the teams in the NFL.

I guess that'd make Josh McDaniels the ridiculous one since he ran and got 2 RBs instead of starting him. Maybe he could start at FB or something.

 

[Bear Pand]

I agree, saying you aren't playing Hillis cause he fumbles when Moreno constantly does is ridiculous. I still don't think Hillis is that good though. I mean he'd be good if they figured out some sort of three man rotation, but he's not a legitimate starter.

You fixed it wrong. I still can't see who voted for who. Don't make me remove the thanks.

Sorgi going down is huge. You're really asking a lot from the rookie Curtis Painter when he's going up against a good DC in Mike Nolan.

But Curtis Painter went to Quarterback U! We better hope Manning doesn't get hurt! :thumbsup:

 

[Bear Pand]

Curtis Painter is trash and he's a rookie. Orton was way better than him at Purdue.

Thursday Practice report

LTs Charlie Johnson, Tony Ugoh return to Indianapolis Colts practice, RT Ryan Diem misses

The Indianapolis Colts got good news at the left tackle position Thursday.
At right tackle, it wasn’t as positive.

Starting LT Charlie Johnson, after missing last week’s game and Wednesday’s practice with a foot injury, returned to practice on a full-participation basis Thursday, as did Tony Ugoh, who started in place of Johnson Sunday before missing practice Wednesday with a hip injury.

Starting RT Ryan Diem missed practice Thursday with a hamstring injury after practicing Wednesday.

If Diem can’t play, Ugoh – a starter the past two seasons at left tackle before moving into a backup role behind Johnson and Diem in the offseasn — could start at the spot. The Colts on Wednesday signed OT Michael Toudouze, a reserve tackle and practice squad player with the team from 2006-2008.

Also Thursday, DE Dwight Freeney returned to practice after missing to rest Wednesday, but DE Robert Mathis (quad) missed a second consecutive practice. DE Keyunta Dawson (knee) practiced a second consecutive day after missing three games. Colts LB Clint Session (calf) also returned to practice Thursday and DT Daniel Muir was limited with a hamstring injury.
S Antoine Bethea also returned Thursday after resting Wednesday while WR Hank Baskett missed Thursday for personal reasons.

Diem

From what I've heard Robert Mathis is not expected to play for the Colts.

Makes Polumbus's day a lot easier.

Going to be a gametime decision . Polian said Mathis "was a fighter" who would "try and play no matter what" which normally means he has no shot of playing .

Diem

Disgusting. There are few things in life I hate more than seeing Tony Ugoh in front of Peyton Manning.

 

[Archer]

Indy picked us apart for years with the cover 2 we were running. I hope our 3-4 is disciplined enough to give Manning the same fits that New England and San Diego have historically gotten. If Bailey can take Reggie Wayne out of the game we have a real shot. We have to run the ball effectively so we don't have to go up against the red hot Joesph Addai too often.

I'm expecting to see a heavy dose of Clark/Addai/Garcon in the pass game

That hasn't worked very well all year...too many other threats for Peyton to go for...they need to watch Garcon getting over the top of the defense, he is a big deep threat if they focus too much on Wayne/Clark


Game should be a pushover on our way to home field advantage.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Peyton Manning will have to decide if he wants to throw to Gracon or Ty Law, who is historically one of his favorite targets.

Ty Law still plays? I thought his old ass retired.

The Broncos have been great at not giving up deep plays this year.

So How many interceptions for Ty Law on Sunday? One? Two?

zero unless he gets lucky on a tipped pass...this isn't the Patriots we are talking about here...

Two pages by Friday! We can make this the biggest Broncos game day thread ever!

4 pages if you use the normal VSN :shifty:

4 > 2 . IDGAF if your pages have more posts on them:seesaw:

You're right it's the Denver Broncos and the third ranked defense in the NFL. When was the last time the Colts played a defense that gives up under 300 yards a game? Not this year.

The Colt's only chance is to run the no huddle all game, so Mike Nolan can't make his defensive substitutions.

This all sounds very familiar

Everytime we face the Broncos I hear about how they are different this time and they will beat us .

For the record , I think it will be closer this time
