Game day thread week 5. Browns vs the Peoples temple of Indianapolis

[Kiwibrown]

Kevin and the boys went to Texas like this





and pretty much did this to Jerruh





here in New Zealand at first i was like



and finally this



In what was the most exciting game and most meaningful game of football we have watched in a long time.

 

And now

3-1 and we are onto Indy to face the 3-1 colts 

led by 


entering his what 17th season?

Reading up on the history of indy; they had a cult once. Briefly. And they broke Andrew Luck and Peyton Manning

. 

it really seems like the most boring place in America, which is probably a compliment. 

Go Browns. 4-1 here we go.

Big test of our offense. Indys defense is good. Rivers can’t move so Myles should feast.
 

Please god don’t play sendejo. Rivers will pick him apart. 

[LETSGOBROWNIES]

Looking over their roster, they’ve got some talent.  I forgot about Buckner and Rhodes.

[NateDawg]

I think we can definitely win this one. I think it will be a good game actually. 

Being 4-1 going into Pittsburgh week would be something I could not envision after week 1. Hopefully we can keep the ground game going like we have. 

[LETSGOBROWNIES]

Oh and Rivers is going to destroy this secondary.

Sure would be nice if a Greedy could recover from whatever kind of injury that both doesn’t require surgery but also requires 2 months to heal.

Also, at some point Harrison has to get the nod over Sendejo.  I realize he stripped the ball once.  It was a nice play.  He also dropped a pick that could have sealed the game, completely whiffed on Cooper who then scored trying to nuke him (as opposed to either trying to make a play on the ball or be in position for a tackle), got beat deep, missed tackles, etc.

With Harrison and Greedy as starters, Mitchell as a nickel, etc., we may actually have a “below average” secondary as opposed to an atrocious one.

I think to continue out hopes of making the playoffs we need to at least split the next two.

4-2 after Pittsburgh and we’re in good shape.

Exactly.

Whether it's this week or next, we have  to win 1 of 2. For that matter, if we win 2 of our next 4 headed into the bye, that puts us at 5 and 3 with the Texans, Eagles, and Jaguars. We then get Tennessee and Baltimore on back to back weeks, which will be a tough 2 week stretch, but the NYG and NYJ back to back will balance that out.

If we judge the season in quarters, then realistically we should go:

1st: 3-1 (loss to Balt)

2nd: 2-2

3rd: 3-1

4th: 2-2

That gets this team to 10-6. Anything under 10 wins with the remaining schedule that we have would be disappointing IMO.

Feels like a winnable game, but that Colts o-line is the only one in the NFL that can go toe to toe with our set up. Have to think it's going to be another shoot out style game where the first to 40 points wins.

This will be the toughest game for my Colts this season. Love how Jim Rome is calling you guys the new America's team. Happy to see your franchise string together wins. 

 

Concerned about the health of Darius, but every team is injured right now. The Colts have a strong identity on defense, but still figuring that out on offense.

We’re a train wreck on defense.

[Kiwibrown]

If the colts try on defense they will be better than dallas, they were low effort last night.

[candyman93]

This will be an ugly game. We need our pass rush to get after Rivers.

 

Our D-line vs their O-line will decide the game to me. 
 

I think we will score on them, but we can’t let Rivers kill us.

[sdrawkcab321]

Greedy better be out there 

[kayelcio]

Hopefully Larry O doesn't miss too much time

At this point, we don’t even know if he is good or not. He’s been hurt most of his time here. It’s time to see what this kid has.
