    Hard game to predict, given it's unclear who will be returning from injury or not.

    But a lot of times you see a team coming off a gritty victory be poised to go on a mini run. Hopefully that can be us.

      Well, we can only do our part and fan humbleness worked versus Miami.

      Getting Alt and Perryman back would be huge.

        Back in the day with Peyton Manning at QB we owned the Colts. Broke their undefeated season, walked them off in the playoffs, had the Cromartie 3 INT game.

          true!

          Chargers will hve to play good mistke free football.... and Colts are strong where we are weak:

          They have strong explosive running game, strong pass rush, and a very mobile accurate QB!

          Indy might be best team we have played so far....though KC recently has improved greatly and may be playing best football in NFL right now.... they dismantled a very good DET team last night...

            Mistake free still has a ways to go. There were two 15 yard personal fouls on that last Miami TD drive.

              We'll tend to overstate the Colts abilities .... their edge rushers are okay (kwitty paye / laiatu latu) and Buckner is no longer what he was.

              Daniel Jones is not the next coming of Steve Young.

              The key to their offense is the Oline, Taylor, the rookie tight end and Steichen.

                I would also include not letting a receiver get wide ass open in the corner of the endzone for a potentially game winning TD in the "mistake free" category. Gotta be better on defense.

                  No shit! That was a "WTF!?!" at the TV moment.

                    I was trying to figure out who was supposed to cover him. Just a SNAFU.

                      had the Darren Sproles game...pretty epic!

                        yes this D has been INFURIATING in that sense...TOTAL COMPLETE blown coverages for big gains (or TD). I think I've seen it every week. And looks like they are getting worse as the season chugs along.

                          Minter's zone schemes rely on a lot of pressure being generated up front. All defenses benefit from that, obviously. But we seem to be especially vulnerable to lack of pressure.

                          That being said, you're right, we keep seeing receivers completely wide open from week to week.
