The Game Prediction Thread - The Commanders @ The Colts ~ The Battle of the Backups!

Commies over Colts 20-17

[Warhead36]

This game reminds me of the 49ers game two years ago where both offenses looked bad but our defense just completely dominates a jabroni QB.

I'm seeing a lot of FG attempts and less TDs. Both teams bending but not breaking. 

 

Skins: 23 (2 TD, 3 FG, 1 missed FG)

Baltimore: 16 (1 TD, 3 FG)

 

I had the same thought

 

Commanders 74 (20 FGs, 2 TDs)

Colts 3 (1 FG)

Anyone going to the game this weekend in Indy?  I'm still looking for tickets. 

[The Rook]

22 seems like the right amount of points for this offense.  Taylor has a TD drive when Indy is up 21-16.  2-pt conversion fails 

 

Indy's young, mobile QB will be a problem for defense (three TD's) and drives Indy to tack on a FG for a 24 total at the end of game.

 

Enjoyable, but a loss.  Hivers and Whiners have new ammo for next week.

Pretty sure Sip will be there.

Washington 23

Colts 16

 

City goes crazy.  Bandwagon is started up.  Washington finishes 8-9.

[El Mexican]

If there ever was a winnable game it's this one. First game for their QB, questionable defense. This is it.

 

Redskins : 28 (great running game for second week in a row)

Snyder Haters: 23

Terry McLaurin said he's expecting around 70 or so friends and family members to attend his first game back in Indianapolis on Sunday.

 

I'm hoping we deliver an ass whuppin.

Terry grew up as and is a Colts fan so it should be a bitter-sweet win for him. If we win that is. 

[Redwards]

Redskins gonna do what the Redskins always do under Snyder:  piss the season away and then win a few ugly games against the few teams that are even worse than they are.  They'll puff their chests, declare all the haters wrong, talk like they've actually accomplished something of merit.  (Which makes me want to throw up) Then, when they play the next legit team again, they'll fold like a cheap tent.

 

Skins will win this one only because the Colts are imploding.  But nothing has changed in regard to the quality of this team that Ron's assembled.  

 

Skins 27

Colts  17

I think we win this one 24-17 with a D surging and only allowing 10 pts (one on a break down in the secondary allowing a deep pass).  The O will give up a pick 6, but run to day light more often than not and letting scary Terry do what needs to be done to control the game.

[Chris 44]

Any word on Dotson or Thomas yet?

[Wyndorf25]

Head: Colts 23, Commanders 20

Home field advantage wins out as the Colts players rally around their new guy at QB and Washington continues its history of making rookie QBs look like seasoned vets if for that one week.

 

Gut: Commanders 17, Colts 10

Ugly, low-scoring, run-dominated, defensive battle where a win may feel a bit like a loss due to the optics. Both QBs struggle and drag down their offenses on 3rd down especially. McLaurin will score a TD somehow because I have him on my bench in FF. If I start him, however, the WR that scores will wind up being someone like Samuel.

 

Liver: Commanders 27, Colts 26

Higher scoring than most expect because--whacky things happen. Skins win with a walk-off FG and I sit, stunned at a 3-game win streak with a drink in my hand and a smile on my face.

 

I'm gonna go with my Gut this week.

I was thinking that we could really use Thomas, especially since (I assume) Turner will be out.  With that said, Hodges (and Sims) have a bit of a rapport with TH, so at least there’s that…

If their DC isn’t a complete idiot like Joe Barry, both defenses will make the opposing QBs look like Jabroni’s.

Yeah I was hoping Turner would have shown a little more, I know its only been a couple of games though and he has battled injuries. 

[Califan007 The Constipated]

The Colts' QB is gonna run like crazy Sunday and cause frustration...

 

27-20

[Okapi p4pi]

I'm gonna be going to this game on Sunday!  Are there any tips from someone who has been to Lucas Oil Stadium before?  Is finding parking difficult?  Anything I should be aware of?

 

Thanks in advance

I was just ironically mapping out the areas around the stadium, its close to downtown.  I am staying in the city, not far from Lucas Stadium so I'll be walking.   Not sure about the parking.  Looks like its supposed to rain that day.

looks like Thomas plays and Dotson doesn't.

Dang, I'd rather it be the other way around. Bates and Rogers can hold their own at TE but Sims and Milne can't come anywhere close to replicating what Dotson can do.

Well its been broadcast all over creation that the Colt's QB likes to run.

Virtual beer says DelTaco will be shellshocked to see him run for at least 85 yds because DT didn't feel the need to have a 'spy' mirroring the guy.

 Forecast of possible rain makes me wonder if Irsay supplies the seats with cushions with Snyder's face with a huge red X on them...

[Cooleyfan1993]

Not a prediction (I gave mine already—I think?) but this is colts related)

It was actually 7 months and 3 days since he was traded, BUT the meme is assuming 4 weeks in a month, 7x4=28, plus 3 days. So while not ENTIRELY accurate, it’s pretty close. At this point I feel like he’s destined to die when he’s 84 (28x3) on march 28th
