Quick Recap: Colts 27-Dolphins 23

Email
PrintLet this be a lesson to you all: Running the ball and stopping the run are SECOND to throwing the ball, and stopping the throw. Run your wildcat, your draw, your runs up the middle. Run them all you want. It is all about being efficient with the football when it matters most. It is all about THROWING. THE. FOOTBALL. in this league. Time of possession is over-rated. Running the ball is over-rated. This is a league built on throwing and stopping the throw. Period.
When it counted. When it mattered most; the Colts came up big. Enjoy your 2-0 start.
Go Colts!

Wow.
Heart rate is still above 120 right now probably. I tried to be calm when the Dolphins scored their last TD, thinking this game could get ugly. How about Donald Brown? And Garcon! Can’t believe they won.
Holy Fuckin Shit!!!
that was insane I can’t believe we pulled that 1 out of our asses we had no right winning that game they were killing us with the run but somehow luckally piere got free on that screan that was some crazy shit

Oh God
What a crazy ass game. 2-0! Good thing the Cards can’t run the ball. Maybe they can hold them to less than 250 yards. Covered the spread too.
"Brett Favre was a man who thought he was retired, but he knew it wouldn't last."
Go Colts
Peyton Manning throwing for 303 yds from only 14 completions, Freeney and “Super” Mathis causing havoc in the backfield, young guys like Garcon and Brown doing their bit and most importantly 2-0!!! GO COLTS!!!

I love manning, but
the Phins gave this one away completely. They took it from 3:30 to the two-minute warning and went about four yards. Manning scored a touchdown in less time than that.
Mmmm
In some ways, but there’s no guarantee they’d have scored if they’d run a more efficient drill.
They lost because they can’t defend the pass for peanuts.

It think this game settles
the Manning/Brady argument once and for all.
did you see
the graphic showing how many comeback wins the QB’s have? Peyton has almost twice as many as Tom.
Check it to Pancakes! Pancakes!
Rewound the game
Ok, here’s the graphic:
Most game-winning drives 4TH qtr or OT, active leaders:
Favre 39
Manning 37
Kerry Collins 29
Tom Brady 23
Mark Brunell 23
Nice, job there, Tom. One more and you beat Brunell.
Check it to Pancakes! Pancakes!
All that really shows
Is that our defense sucks a lot.
If Peyton’s had twice as many chances as Brady (and I don’t know the stats, so hypothetically) they’d have the same ratio of comeback wins to opportunities.

As I mentioned in the other thread if they would have
just split the TOP, they would have put up almost 60 points. The defense really needs to get their act together…..and fast! The defensive display was putrid overall. Manning was spectacular.

Well
His family life is his business, not mine, and he can be friends with whoever he pleases.

Per minutes played,
the Colts are definitely the most efficient team in the league offensively.
If Brown had been our back last year
we would have beaten San Diego.
He failed on a similar play
Last week. Don’t jump to conclusion so soon. If Pollak threw blocks like that last year, we might have won the Super Bowl.

Brown was fresh at the end of the game. Big reason for the big gains.

does anyone have the stats against the run vs reg off compared to wildcat?
by INDYCOLTSROCK18 on Sep 22, 2009 12:18 AM EDT reply actions
Sorry BBS
And whoever else thinks this is “all right.” It’s fine for teams like Arizona and if we’re lucky, Houston. But all I’m seeing so far as a best case scenario for the Colts is another playoff shellacking by that pesky little Charger’s RB that’s built like a cheerleader. That, or Chris Johnson making us look like the Texans. Take your pick. This has got to get fixed before playoff time.

Peyton Manning is the Best Player in the NFL.
I was spellbinded into thinking that it might be Brees yet after seeing this comeback, then I’m back where I was in 2008. Peyton Msnning is the Best Player in the National Football League. Period. No Lucky breaks like Tommy got with the McKelvin fumble. He won this by his own sheer will. Defense did nothing other than hold the Dolphins to a Field Goal.

maybe dallas clark can go to a pro bowl this year??
the media can argue until their are blue in the face. no other qb wins that game with that crappy of a d
peyton manning won ANOTHER game at the end. I wonder if he told them in the huddle…we are going to win this? god I hate that printed every time brady wins a game
this arguement of brady vs manning and who is better. what a joke
although you expect him to do this at the end of each close game, after he does it once again your only thought is…wow peyton manning is incredible
it never gets old
The Colts (and their fans) are going to fall into the same trap from the past...
This is a flawed team, deeply flawed, its been deeply flawed for years, and instead of being able to draft better talent (not disparaging Brown and Gonzo right now, but how would some OT depth look right now?) Manning has saved their skin time and again. This works in the regular season. It even works occassionally in the post season. But it can’t work consistantly vs the best of the best.
The Colts will need to focus money on their defense at this point. If Powers and Bullitt are as good as we and the Colts’ hope they are, can we still afford to let Bullitt or Sanders go and Jackson go? Having 3 safeties and 3 stud CBs seems to be a requirement for this team, since none of them can stay healthy.
The OL is a mess. After last week, I think maybe there was a great exhale where people said, ‘OK, the D is OK, we don’t need to spend a draft drafting 10 LBs and CBs, and we can focus on the OL’, they still need to fcous on the OL, and now I’m not sure they can. So many holes seem to be creeping up. Hopefully the Dline will play better in the future, I’m hoping that Big Ed just needs to get up to game speed and that Fili Maola (sp?) will be worthy of a #2, but the push in the middle was horrid, and its clear that while we have LBs that can tackle, they aren’t good at the POA. During Dungy’s years, it was always, ‘they don’t have to be good at the POA, they just have to be able to fill their gaps and tackle’. (This was Dungy-speak for ‘we just need the front 7 to stand in the way of the OL and let Bob make all the tackles), but with Coyer wanting to be a blitzing, more aggressive D, you’re leaving holes there, so each LB will have to be more effective at the POA, and they arent. Bob being back will help, but does anyone have faith in him being healthy for 12 games this year?
I hate to ruin the high for everyone, it was an exciting game, and good to get a win (hate to think of what the Cardinals will do to this D), but as a fan I’m just frustrated by the fact that it seems the best years of the best QB in the history of the NFL are going to be wasted by an iffy OL and an inconsistent-at-best, soft-at-worst D.
If we/they can get to the bye at 4-1, that would be great.
That's what happens when our team focuses the big bucks on offense.
…..other than Freeney and Sanders.

We blitzed,
and then they scored a TD.

oh we blitzed
off the edge and not up the middle and on plays that werent wildcat plays. The way to beat the wildcat, is to blitz up the middle. Wedge bust the offensive line. Thats what the RAvens did and it worked. We didnt do anything close to that

They did blitz
And the Phins ran away from it, constantly. They blitzed multiple times from the weakside, the phins would run strong side, and their line was winning at the POA. It was 2006 all over again, with their back sgetting 5 yars before being touched. Schematically, I’m not sure why they didn’t bring both Bethea and Bullitt into the box. I don’t think the Phins had any intentions of going deep. And obviously this sounds over simplistic, but let me just say, there are ways of disguising having your safety in the box. Delayed blitzes, last minute movement, etc…
Blitzing wasn’t really the problem. and if you’re referring to the final 2minuts, blitzing would have been the WORST thing. I don’t know if you’re a fan of the buckeyes or watch their games, but just rewatch v Texas last year and v Navy this year and see why you don’t go into a cover-1 or cover-0 situation when you’re up by 4 or more points. They needed a touchdown to win the game, you allow them the underneath stuff, not the one-on-one-make-a-guy-miss-and-score-the-winning-TD stuff.

"Do I believe in aliens?" Stephon Marbury asked. "I don't know, because I've never seen one. But I believe in Jesus because I saw him in the shower the other day."
100% serious question
did Garcon catch more than one pass tonight? I was impressed with his speed, but it was the perfect play against that defense, it had amazing blocking downfield. To be a true #2, you have to catch the other ones, too.
thanks
this thread is killing my PC. I didn’t think he caught more. I realize that the colts didnt have the ball much, but according to Manning they were playing a S and LB bracket on Wayne + a CB in man. So basically tripling one person. Garcon has to have more than 1 catch against that kind of defense. I think he may develop, I’m not ruling it out, but I like Collie more from what I’ve seen (note: Collie was only 1 for 4 tonight, i know) but he has like a 100% third down conversion rate, i think, right? Thats big stuff from a rookie.
well according to Jaws Garcon is a rookie too
so 1 for 48, TD is GREAT for a rookie

With so little time in possession, it’s hard to tell. I think both Garcon and Collie had chances to make more plays, but didn’t quite get it right.
You can’t expect kids to be NFL perfect straight away – even Megatron took a season to get going, and he was playing just about every down from the off.

yea i agree
I tried to convey that. Its not that I dont THINK he can be a #2, its just that I don’t think he’s there, yet.
btw, when the Colts got their 1st FG, on the 3rd down play, Manning hit Clark on a crossing route for 5 yards. Anyone else notice that Collie was breaking free on a seam down the middle? Would have been a big gain if Manning had a second more.
Collie play
I saw that too. The safety just collapsed on Clark and Peyton threw into double coverage instead of the easy TD to Collie on the hitch and go route once he beat the nickelback
I missed that
But it doesn’t surprise me, he looks capable. Peyton just needs to get in a groove with him (and Garcon).

“garcon” means boy in french, not waiter.
"Do I believe in aliens?" Stephon Marbury asked. "I don't know, because I've never seen one. But I believe in Jesus because I saw him in the shower the other day."
Let's look at the bright side.
The defense can only get better from this point.
hopefully you are right
but i think part of being upset about the defense is that the team has made it public that its a priority to get things made right in the run D. i guess it would be different if they just came out and said they didnt give a shit. then you couldnt be upset when they get trampled.
at least they're trying. Maybe they'll get it right soon
like they did during the superbowl playoff run.
It looked close, but..

thats the rule, I wasnt sure if the foot was behind the line or not. ESPN didn’t look at it at all (like they didnt mention Jake Long being a perfect 89 for 89 on false starts, or pass interference against Reggie, or the multiple holding Freeney and Mathis by the facemask, its just great pass protection, right jaws??) , so it was real hard to tell.

Don’t ever remembering the Colts jumping this much. I thought they were one of the better teams at it. I’m HOPING that the reason for all of the offsides tonight was fatigue. The papercut ‘draw, wait 40 seconds, draw, wait 40 seconds, draw, wait 40 seconds’ offense makes it hard to stay in your DL stance. And the Phins were doing this weird 1/2 hard count. Like the hard count was at 2 and the snap was at 2 1/2 or the hard count was at 1 1/2 and the snap at 2. Either way, I’m hoping a lot of things from tonight were just a unique perfect storm that can’t be repeated until february.
Well I'm out for the night

11 catches for 222 yards and a touchdown. Manning is third in the NFL in passing yards with 604, 10 more than Brady in 40 fewer attempts.

Manning is also second to Drew Brees in passer rating with 110.3
He’s fifth in completion percentage at 68.9%. Suprisingly Brett Favre leads the NFL in completion percentage with an uncanny 77.1% completion rate. Brees is still the best when it comes to stats though. 75% completion, 669 yards, 9 TD, 2 ints, and a ridiculous 132.9 Passer Rating.

not surprising if you wanted the Lions game
or calc up his yards per completion. it was under 7 in the Lions game. Mr. Dink and Dunk.
It's not just your perceptions that can be wrong. Even your memory is often incomplete or possibly flat out wrong.

Nearly 12.5 against the Eagles though
Take what the D gives you, as they say.

I''m probably the only one
but i find it a bit amusing given Dolphin LB Crowder’s pre-game comments about the pretty lawn and the trailer in regards to Manning’s audibles, that we “won” the game on a brilliant audible by Manning.
I could watch the replays of this game
all night.
Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.
Man, I need a life...
Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: My chemistry class decided to have their first test on Monday, September 21, from 8:00-9:00 PM. The Colts play the Dolphins at 8:30 that same night. I don't think I can be any more ticked off right now. I think I'm going to kill someone. No, really. I just haven't decided who yet.
I have to say it was an HONOR to watch this game with my friend from Ireland, Kevin Norton, at Brothers in Broad Ripple. He’s never seen an American Football game and he was pumped at how this game turned out. He saw two records broken: fastest score in MNF history, most games won by a Colts quarterback and the least amount of time possessed by a winning opponent. He will always be my Irish lucky charm!
Call me "Sir" goddamnit!
Running the ball matters
And we did pretty good job today. But we couldn’t stop the run. I also hope Brackett is fine.
