Chiefs vs Colts....Colts Article/Your Take/Prediction

[FANATIC 852]

Amazing Well Written Article about Reid from the Colts Board. Wondering how to keep KC under 40 points.

Final Thoughts:

The only way the Colts stand a chance in this game, and even then it’s a microscopic chance at that, is to keep this offense off the field with long sustained drives that eat the clock and keep the ball out of Patrick Mahomes hands.

Tomorrow we’ll discuss the Chiefs defense at length, and the outlook there is better for our Colts but not overwhelmingly so. If you’ve considered taking up a new hobby this would be the week to do it. Take the energy you have to take on that new activity and let it roll all the way through next week’s bye, then come back around for week seven to a 2-3 Colts team fresh and ready to roll.

This match-up clearly favors KC.  Chiefs 35-17 Reid gets up early and goes to the run game in the second half. Kelce should have another big day.

Chiefs 31, Colts 17     Theyve got a good defense, well coached, solid RB   Been highly competitive all year with all their games being within 7 points. Different animal here. We will have to lay an egg to lose this

That Defense is actually pretty dang bad, especially if they have all the people that are expected to miss actually miss the game.

45 to 24. I think Colts get some garbage time and points.

Reid won't inflate the score against them with Ballard being a former KC guy. Probably limit us to a 14 point victory

Both starting safeties.

[jetlord 10,208]

Two bad defenses and one elite offense.

Chiefs 37

Indy 24

[Calichief 3,016]

44-29

[azchief21 5,278]

35-31 Chiefs just not sure if we have to win in the final minute or hang on to the lead.

From The Colts Site....no respect and that is understandable. The columnist states this is a very simple defense scheme. So there is that.

During the 2019 off season the Chiefs made the decision to move in a new direction on defense, bringing in former Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo to be their new defensive coordinator. Spagnuolo (who will be called “Spags” for the rest of this article so I don’t have to keep typing that name) was the man who helped the 2007 New York Giants stop the 18-0 New England Patriots in the Super Bowl, giving them their only loss of the season. After a great 2008 season for the Giants defense, Spags was hired to become the head coach of the St. Louis Rams. To make a long story short, that didn’t work out for anyone. After a short stop with the New Orleans Saints, Spags found his way back to New York to implement his brand of defense. Once the wheels fell off in New York, Spags came to work for Andy Reid, the man who gave him his first NFL job in 1999 with the Philadelphia Eagles.

So what will his defense look like? Truth be told, there’s not a lot that’s interesting about this defense, schematically. Traditionally Spags has used a 4-3 base set, now, like everyone else the Chiefs will be in nickle or dime the vast majority of the time. They mix zone and man coverage, the defensive line will mostly have one gap responsibilities. All things considered this is probably the least complex defense the Colts have seen so far this season and given the fact that they’ve faced two 4-3 under Seattle style defenses, that’s kind of impressive. I did notice a few interesting things to watch for on Sunday , and please note I am using the term “interesting” loosely

Continued

This team isn’t great against the run and watching the tape it’s really easy to understand why. Against the run these linebackers have a habit of not playing their gaps, reacting slowly or just being taken completely out of the play by an offensive lineman. When you hear people say that a football player doesn’t have great instincts you could probably just assume the Chiefs will add that football player to their linebacking corps.

 

Final Thoughts:

This game isn’t winnable for the Colts. With that said they should still be able to move the ball and given what I believe about Frank Reich’s ability to design plays in the red zone I do expect the Colts to score a lot of points. If the Colts were 100% healthy going into this game I don’t think I would be as positive about a loss as I am. Unfortunately that’s not the world we live in. Our receivers are banged up, our running back is banged up I don’t feel this is a great match-up for our tight ends and I still feel like the Colts will have plenty of offensive production.

Also, if you want to discard everything I’ve said and you just want to believe in the team, do it. Be a fan, that’s really what we’re supposed to do, right? After breaking it all down, I’m left without much hope. Something, something, inspiration, rah... I can’t even fake it this week, this is going to be ugly.

Sad and true. If he is correct, thats if, and the D is so simple , then the new system excuse is not applicable.

[Thegoatee 1,780]

Chiefs 33

Colts 30

[reesebobby 5,661]

Chiefs 42 Colts 24.  Everyone freaks out because we give up a lot of yards.  Mahomes balls out for 5 touchdowns and 425 yards.  Andy Reid grabs his crotch in a rare lapse of sportsmanship late in the 4th quarter. 

[DieHard 2,061]

Chiefs 35 Colts 31 with some garbage time scoring as we milk out the clock.

[ChiefsFoolFan 149]

My prediction for the Colts?.... pain.....

All kidding aside, that Colts columnist is spot on about our defense in my opinion.  The LBs are very frustrating to watch this year.

42-33 Chiefs

I’m going to be at this game.  This will be the 5th time in my life I’ve seen them play and have never seen them win.    That needs to change. 

 

KC 38

Indy 17

would like to see the defense squash these guys and not even allow garbage time points.  

[sith13 1,746]

Indy has a decent OL that makes things much easier for the skill players. I think it'll be a good test for our front 7. However they don't have the tools to keep up with our offense so I'm expecting a Jaguars-type win in this one.

Dang could you imagine what it must feel like being a Colts fan this year with Luck retiring out of the blue and then injury on top of injury.  Ouch

 Thanks!

Last year I took my buddy who had never been to a game to the Charger game.  We stayed close to the stadium and didn’t tailgate.  This year we are taking stuff and tailgating before the game and hopefully get to see a different outcome.
