GDT: Win and we're in. Survive Arrowhead first.

[stallyns]

Colts (9-5) @ Chiefs (2-12)

Injuries:
Out
RB Delone Carter (ankle)
LB Kavell Connor (hamstring)
C Samson Satele (ankle)
SS Tom Zbikowski (knee)

Questionable
DT Antonio Johnson (ankle)
OT Winston Justice (bicep)
C A.Q.Shipley (knee)

I'm not sure what to think here if neither Satele or Shipley plays, Reitz or Olsen at center? Can Olsen be any worse then Satele? If Linkenbach is to replace Justice that leaves us with no backups for the interior line (Tony Hills and Bradley Sowell are both tackles)

Not having Connor isn't too hurting as we have Freeman, Angerer and Fokou. And we have skated by without Zbikowski for 3 weeks now. I would rather have Carter then Moore or Karim but at least Karim gives us a little extra help on special teams to allow Lefeged and Vaughn to turn their attention to playing defense which is a definite plus.

I would love it if Antonio Johnson missed the entire game and Martin Tevaseu and Kellen Heard had breakout performances.

Anyways, Colts 31 - Chiefs 13

Things to watch:
1) Andrew Luck is 74 passing yards away from surpassing Cam Newton for most passing yards by a rookie (4051 yards-2011)
2) With a win, the Colts would become the second team in league history to lose 14 or more games one year and win 10 or more the next. (In 2007 the Miami Dolphins went 1-15, then improved to 11-5 in 2008)

For our Chiefs visitors

I may get laughed at for this... but the Colts will be tested on offense.

The Chiefs have packed it in, that's for sure, but with the injury troubles up front on a lackluster line we are facing, it isn't going to be pretty at all. McGlynn playing center could be an absolute joke. We need a big time game from guys like Avery and T.Y because I think Flowers will be blanketing Reggie all day.

Our defense should be fine. Nothing worries me that much. I mean, it is Brady Quinn at quarterback. We need to just play disciplined and don't give them any gifts to extend drives.

I don't expect the rout that most are predicting. I could see it 24-13 Colts.

As for Zbikowski... please just leave Lefeged in there. He isn't setting the world on fire either, but I mean, Tom really does not bring anything in his skill-set to the table for us at this point.

Only Oakland (21) and Jacksonville (15) have less sacks as a team then the Chiefs (24). As long as Justice plays and he and Castonzo can handle Hali and Houston we could come out of this game with the least amount of sacks allowed all season.

0 Sacks Allowed
Week 3 vs Jacksonville

1 Sack Allowed
Week 9 vs Miami

Please don't choke against the Chiefs.

Too easy

[stallyns]

Cassius Vaughn sees the ball thrown his way and says I don't want nothing to do with that. :slip:

[stallyns]

So I've got the Titans-Packers game on tv and the Colts-Chiefs game on my laptop and both are CBS so I'm seeing all the same commercials but of course the Colts game is I'm a bit of a delay so I see them in the Packers game first.

[stallyns]

That pass to Avery more then doubled Luck's passing yards for the game

[stallyns]

Chiefs fans got to be smiling, the Jags have picked off Brady twice and are up 13-3 , meanwhile the Colts are leading 10-3

[stallyns]

Love how as Ballard was stretching for the first the first down line was crossing the white line
