Game Thread: Colts @ Bolts MNFB 10/14/'13

[NinerSickness]

It's kind of annoying the Colts are gonna be on a short week right before they play the Broncos; I'm sure the NFL is looking for a Peyton victory net week.

The Colts have pretty much passed the legit' test with their 2nd-best AFC record and a nightmare of a schedule.

Luck looks goo early, but they have to settle for a FG. 3-0 Indy.

Lavelle Hawkins is the KR for the Chargers.

 

[TobyTyler]

Abrayo Franklin; I forgot about that guy. Thought he was out of the league by now.

 

[BINGO]

Keenan Allen is a player that should have been a niner. But we invested that 3rd round pick on Eric Reid

I think Allen would provide about the same thing Baldwin does right now. Big, slower possession receiver. Allen's probably better than Baldwin, but I'm not sure he's a ton better. The Niners need a speed guy IMO.

I'm convinced a lot of charger WRs look better than they are because of Rivers.

I would not be happy with King freeking Dunlap as my left tackle. Just sayin'.

...but I WOULD be happy with Carlos Dunlap.

I strongly disagree. Allen is a special talent, he's still a little raw, but he would be starting for us if he were a 9er. Starting for the 9ers nowadays at the WR position is not a huge accomplishment, but still...he would have been a great in our offense with Davis, he, and Boldin.

 

[BINGO]

I told you Keenan is a special player. Rivers has very little to do with it IMO.

Are you kidding me? Allen had 2 guys on him, and Rivers put the ball perfectly in stride where he could dive for it out of the defenders' reach . Great play by both of 'em, but give Rivers his due. Rivers is one of the most under-appreciated players in the NFL.

The fact that Allen would be starting for the Niners doesn't exactly say much for him. And I think he's a good receiver, but he's too similar to Crabtree & Manningham IMO. I think the Niners need a speed guy, and if they drafted a receiver high the guy they wanted to target was one of the 2 Vols IMO.

Terrible tackling but fantastic balance from Richardson there throughout that catch and run.

 

[BloodType49]

Old Stone Hands DHB

Old Stone Hands DHB

Seriously? He barely got one finger on it. It was over-thrown. If Luck put a little less on that ball it was a TD.

Looked like more then a finger coulda laid out for it also as Grudden pointed out. DHB has looked better as a Colt then he ever did as a Raider I will admit

If you want an example of "stone hands," see that last play by TY Hilton (although Hilton's been great so far).

Crabtree and Manningham are two different type of receivers. One is a speed guy, the other a possession type. Anyway, I think you are vastly underrating the type of WR Keenan is. The guy was able to beat double coverage and you still managed to find a way to rationalize the reason as to why the play was a TD. You gave more credit to Rivers than you did for Allen.

Laying out wasn't going to make him get to the ball any faster. That's why you don't see sprinters dive for the finish line. It was a bad throw.

 

[purguy12]

Allen is starting to become a good WR. Kid looks good

 

[NinerSickness]

Allen could've had that one, but it would've been an amazing catch.

Rivers is playing great right now.

 

[ChrisPozz]

Coming into the game Fleener had been thrown at 20 times and had not recorded a drop. First one of the year right there.
