How many of you had the Colts in the Elite 8?

[Am I Blue Through it All?]

I have to admit, not me. When you look at their depleted roster, they are easily the weakest team left in the playoffs. And yet, they have beaten 3 of the other remaining teams.

Do I overtly expect them to win Saturday? Of course not. Do I harbor a sneaking suspicion they just may? You betcha.

I did. The Patriots are trash. Indy should win if they play defense as they did in the 2nd half on saturday

I did not, but I did have Luck listed as the best QB in his draft class. I really like that kid.

It will be interesting to see how they perform. Laundry got a concussion but we have a decent backup in Brown. I have no idea wtf Toler was doing on the field. At least the coaching staff got him off the field after that ridiculous long touchdown and put Josh Gordy in the game.

Oddly, there actually does seem to be a pattern to the way the Colts D plays. You can run the ball effectively until at least the middle of the first quarter, and then they begin to tighten it up. Passing? Well, we were fortunate there were a few critical missed throws. Don't expect Brady to extend the same generosity.

The Pats are not exactly at full strength themselves

 

[BobGnarly]

Nobody is at this time of year. I seriously don't wanna hear shit about injuries anymore. All 4 teams in the AFC have suffered significant injuries.

Actually the Eagles were healthy all year, weird.

At least they have had a week to rest the wounded. Both our corners are hurting. Toler should have never even been allowed in the game. Landry will be a big loss if he cannot play due to the intimidation factor alone.

We lead the league with players on IR and have put more different personnel into games than any other team. Forgive me if I am not sympathetic about other team's injuries.

Indy can go into New England and get the win!

That makes sense, just ignore facts.

When I started to watch the game I was rooing for the Chiefs. When I checked my picks on here I was like . Started to root for the Colts. Just knew they would lose. Glad that I don't know much.

 

[Mondio]

pffft, I thought the Chiefs would win, I thought Philly was going to win, I had a toss up in Cincy and if pressed would probably have picked Cincy, and I hoped like hell the Packers would win. My predictions don't mean shit

 

[LoftonPack80]

Before the season I picked the Texans to come out of the AFC. Well since that obviously was a firecracker that blew up in my hand I waited to see how it would play out. I picked Indy to beat KC and I think I am going to pick them this week too. They got "the look" to me.

their defense is very erratic but if they are 'on' in new england, they will beat the patriots.

 

[TDs3nOut]

I actually did. Not bragging, though, since the outcome of that game was the only outcome from this past weekend's games that I correctly picked. And I certainly didn't predict how that KC at Indy game would transpire. Very memorable performance by Luck.

 

[Am I Blue Through it All?]

Most people had the Colts 7-9 at best in the preseason.

 

[gvsulaker82]

I did but only because i thought the chiefs were the weakest team in the playoffs. I actually think they have a chance against NE as well, i think the patriots are weak defensively, although I did pick the pats to win.

 

[JDM]

If they're on and the pats aren't, sure. If both are at the top of their game though I wouldn't bet on that.

I think the colts best game is better than the pats best game right now though. Imo, this game rides on which colts team shows up

 

[sfsportsfan]

i said after that KC game saturday the colts will be in the super bowl this year...

yeah, thats usually the kiss of death, so sorry in advance bro.

LOL I thought the thread title was asking about expectations when the playoffs began.
