With that beard and baseball hat, Reich looks more like a truck driver than a FB coach.

Says the guy who is doing backflips because his team finally won more than one game. That is all.

he's just pissy that his favorite Mexi spot was out of baked potatoes.

But seriously, what a game yesterday. TY and Luck were unconscious early. Such a team effort, which I did not think was possible at the beginning of the season.

Gonna be a fun one next weekend. I hope our front 7 are up to the task. Chiefs lead the league in sacks I think, so Q needs to earn that cheese. Would love to see Luck outperform this year's TD champion.

If Eberflus gets plucked, who would you guys like to see be the next DC?

I’m not even talking shit, I’m just saying, if you beat the Chiefs, y’all better beat NE too... that’s all. Colts for the Super Bowl if y’all can get it done,

Just playin'

I'm gonna keep taking baked potato shots whenever I can lol...
FYI, I talked to my buddy in EP. He said the best mexi place was that place you named a bit after the original conversation, and also a cheap taco place. I can't remember either name as I was buzzed talking to him after the ND game.. I'll find out the cheap taco place though.

One of the Colts strengths has become the running game. If the Colts can continue to run like they did against a better Texans D, they could limit Mahones touches and make this a very interesting game. That also keeps the Chiefs from unloading with a pass rush.

I have no idea, but I hope he's a crappy interviewer. Can we enjoy this first? lol

If the Colts beat the Chiefs, I think they beat NE even if it's in NE. On a side note, in the past, the Colts have owned the Chiefs in the playoffs, even at Arrowhead.

There are so many things about the Colts that have surprised me this year in a good way. The running game (Mack) is close to the top of the list. That's why I don't think they will spend the money on Bell. Like I said earlier, I'd rather them go after Dex in the later rounds.

I think the Colts can beat anyone right now. All the teams left except maybe Dallas and Philly have a chance IMO to win it all. Would love to beat KC and NE on their own turfs. TBH I don't think NE will win next week. Great games, and so much parity this year.

Colts will have to score more than four touchdowns, probably more than five, to win.

Colts have scored 28 or more vs four of the top 10 defenses in their playoff run, so not worried about that at all. KC is ranked 31st in D..... We should put up 35+ easily.

In 3 of KC's last 7 games, they haven't scored more than 30, and all of those games were in KC............, two were vs top 10 Ds, but one was vs AZ........

Josh McDaniels bailing on them has worked out well.

Watching Q play at the pro level is a joy. In addition, I like Reich's offense a lot and the modern ways he uses TE.

Not a team you want to see right now, and they have the defense to limit KC.

Hoping for a Colts vs Chargers AFC Championship.

I think the Colts have been a lot of fun to watch, not only because of Q, but they are a really well balanced football team.

I am pulling for old man Rivers to win a ring before he hangs them up, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Colts hoist the Lombardi if the Chargers stumble in Foxborough

Everyone expects a shootout, so it will probably turn into a defensive struggle. lol

Inman is turning into a heck of a receiver. His break on the TD pass was dynamic.

Someone on the radio is hoping for a Colts/Bolts AFCCG so they can play it in a 30K seat stadium and embarrass the NFL for not working to keep the Chargers in SD.

While KC's D sucks in terms of total yards, they do lead the league in sacks. Our OL is going to have to keep Luck clean. It would not shock me though if both teams were in the 20s. With Mack coming along, I think we'll score 35-45 pts, and limit KC to 30ish.

I'd rather play NE. Not sure if it's because I think LAC are better, or that I just want to beat NE... probably both.

Inman and Pascal are improving. I still want a stud in the first two picks in the draft. I really wish Cain could have stayed healthy. I think he will surprise next year if he regains his speed.

I think the Colts have done very well this year, especially three out of the last four games (exempting the one point win over the Giants). Jacksonville has a tough defense. Wins against the Giants, Oakland by fourteen, etc with a lot of close games are still wins.

I just don't see them staying with the Chiefs, who just blasted Oakland by thirty-two in Arrowhead, especially if Sammy Watkins and Eric Berry return. Regardless, the Colts have has a great season.

with KC D sucking so bad, I feel the opposite (can KC keep up with Indy). Indy ranks as the 11th best D, but has been top 5 the second half of the season. i do think it will be close, but in know way do i think the colts are outmatched. the line is only 5.5 with a lot of $ going to the colts right now.

If you are going to compare Oakland results, compare them equally @Oakland. Colts played them week 7 @Oakland before they started clicking, and still beat them by 14. KC only beat Oakland by 7 @Oakland in week 12. The "blasting" @KC was the last game of the year after they lost 2 in a row, and needed a W to clinch the AFC West. And the Raiders turned the ball over at least 4 times, which I don't see Indy doing.

Injury wise, KC has several impact guys that are ???. And without Hunt, I just don't think they are the same team. If Berry is hobbled, Luck will eat them up. Grant is the only one of meaning ? for the Colts.

01/05/19 DB Eric Berry Heel is "?" Saturday vs Indianapolis
01/05/19 LB Reggie Ragland Hip injured last game, is "?" Saturday vs Indianapolis
01/05/19 WR Sammy Watkins Foot is "?" Saturday vs Indianapolis
01/05/19 RB Spencer Ware Shoulder is "?" Saturday vs Indianapolis

Chiefs’ Wednesday injury report vs. Colts: Eric Berry and Sammy Watkins return

Everyone is banged up this time of year, especially after a playoff game, so you take the Colts ten players who did not practice almost as a day off. Seven of the Chiefs on the injury report were Full Practice including Ragland. Watkins and Berry expected to go to Full Practice on Friday as I imagine Darius Leonard will be soon. Mike Mitchell is out for the game.

Snow flurries on Saturday with accumulation of one inch expected.

Following a punt the Chiefs have ended drives with a touchdown 50% of the time when they start the drive outside their own 20 yard line.

2018 OFFENSE EFFICIENCY RATINGS

The Chiefs, over the regular season, average 41.53 yds per drive.

I am ready for this game. I think it's a toss up. If the weather starts getting crappy, it should favor the Colts and their running game.

Whats the forecast? I think the Colts have a real shot at this. If they can neutralize Kelce a little, and keep Tyreek from getting over the top (both tall tasks, I know) then I think they can keep pace. Saw on NFL Network they were saying the Colts should play ball-control and keep Mahomes off the field, but Luck is every bit the QB Mahomes is. Ebron isn't Kelce, but Hilton is pretty equal to Tyreek. Should be interesting to see it play out

I'm ready too. So pumped.
I fell off the NFL the past couple years, but this team sucked me back in quickly.
I think Ebron has a huge game. Hilton too if Berry is still a bit hobbled or out.

They already hate the colts. They have knocked the chiefs out the 6 times that they have had a really good team. Going back to the early 1990's.

If the colts beat them again....the hate will flow from them more than a Sith.

Ebron made the Pro Bowl. He’s not featured in the offense like Kelce, but he leads TE’s with 13 TD’s

Forecast is flurries with a low of 30 and a high of 38.

Got drafted for mandatory OT this weekend...what are the odds of me DVRing the game and my phone not posting 700 updates throughout so I can watch it later? (Answer: 0.00001%)
