      I think we have a good efficient offense that runs great and can make big plays (OBJ, Landry) but our Defense is average at best, so Indy has a more round team. 

      Maybe if Rivers goes batshit crazy and gives us some INTs we get this game, but I like Reich as a coach and I think they're a serious team, so I'm expecting a tough game that won't be decided till the 4th quarter.

      Time of possession will be key, and if we can get it either by screens, short yardage passes or runs (I believe we have the players to get that), then we have a good chance.

        I put a waiver request for Blankenship in my FF team in the hopes that this will end up a game where kickers have a huge role.

          Unless I am mistaken Berry and Stef were just hired this past Spring.

          I could swear that is what happened... 😕

            This game is impossible for me to predict. We're really banged up at key positions and Rivers has been known to absolutely embarrass bad secondaries. Indy's defense is also no joke and we're going in without Chubb and possibly Hunt. Yikes.

                Constonzo left their game this week with an injury - something to keep an eye considering a guy like Chaz or LeRaven May be over Myles Garrett.

                  I actually like the Browns in this matchup... However.. I would give the Colts the edge in coaching... And QB.. But I think when it comes t over all impactful talent.. Id give the edge overall to Cleveland.

                      Most of what I've learnt hasn't been thanks to teachers, but to my internet forum/video/game quests since I was 14... I learned a lot of English making friends in Call of Duty 2. But thanks for the compliments, heh. And I'm looking forward to practising Spanish with you, cousin!

                        Indy receivers don't scare me.  But their duo of Doyle and Cox matched up against our backers and safeties.... ? Is a concern.

                        And until further notice, they still have the best Oline in the NFL.

                            LOL. Back in the day, I joined a community there with quite respectful people who didn't tolerate shit. It was quite an experience. Hard to come by such place in FPS games nowadays...

                              Colts average 305 YPC.... we average 5.9.

                              That is a hell of a stat   305 yards per catch....or is that per carry.  Either way.

                                      The Colts are a solid team on both sides of the ball. Definitely the best team we played since week 1. I still don't have a lot of confidence in the Browns defense but I think they have slowly gotten better each week. Even giving up 38 last week, they did a lot of that playing soft and rushing 4 and dropped about 4 picks in the process. So slowly better but still lots of work to do. If the Browns can win this Sunday I think it dramatically changes the expectations for this team.

                                          First injury report of the week. No practice reports as yet...
