I think it depends more on if the Colts D can stop Allen. I think the Colts will be able to score with their run game, regardless of what Rivers does.

My brother has been an IND fan for nearly two decades now, and he says IND doesn't run block all that well. They happen to have a couple of pretty good RBs, so they get yards anyway, but they aren't that efficient doing it.

So what PA is saying is probably closer to the truth, at least offensively. Rivers is going to have to play a clean game, no turnovers, and he's going to have to be efficient, meaning his avg yds/att has to be at least league average (7yds/att) or better. Their run game should do a little better than their average, because BUF doesn't defend the run well, as we know.

And their defense will have to play at least to their average. In their favor, BUF doesn't run the ball very well, so they shouldn't have to commit extra resources stopping that, and they can concentrate their players and scheme to stopping Allen.

But if Rivers has a below-average game, nothing their defense does will matter that much.

He's right.

For all of their investment on the line, they're not good run blockers. One of the best pass blocking units in the game but just mediocre at run blocking. Their running game is largely volume, not quality.

That just seems ass-backwards to me. I only played a few years in HS and 1in college, but I always figured that run-blocking was inherently easier than pass-blocking for OLs.

But whatever. Point is, they aren't that good at it. My hope is that for just a few plays they block pretty well and Taylor or that other RB get loose. If they get a little lucky and either break one off for a TD or just get inside the RZ, maybe they can steal a couple scores early. Then they have a better than even chance to steal that game.

Hey Megatron,

I just wanted to say “thank you” for all the fun debates we’ve had.

You know your football and I’ve learned a few things by reading your posts that I didn’t know before.

You’re one of the few posters on this forum that has been fair and courteous, even if they may disagree.

This will be my past post on this forum, but I wish you a great year and much success.

Goodbye.

Lol you're leaving because you know exactly what's coming. Your team barely squeaked by today and you know they have no shot against the Chiefs, so you're leaving now so you don't have to face the music. Pussy.

Are all these Northeast fans total gutless ****s? That region breeds some real one who sucks the peniss. First it was Amnorix running off right before his franchise crumbles, now we get Amdaquix bowing out before we feed him a dumpster full of melted dogshit.

The dude put a thousand dollars on the Bills to win by 10+.

He's obviously in way over his head.

Why didn't you ever answer any of my questions?

Good Luck with the Ravens...you are going to need it!
