i cant wait for this game. This should be a must win. I think we have better individual players at most skill positions, but they may have the better team. With Wake they will be putting a lot of pressure on Luck. Im honestly surprised that statistically Bush hasnt been much better than Brown this year.

I'm not really surprised. Aside from one huge game against Oak he has been pretty much an average runner.

Huge game. We have been damn good at home. I think that continues here.

According to Manusky and Mathis himself he will be playing.

This is semi-true for this game.
Luck>Tannehill right now
Wayne>>than any of our WR
Fasano>Fleener (injured)
Bush>>Brown, not really that close.

As for the better team, the Phins have the better overall team and should win this game by defense alone. Our D-line will put a ton of pressure on Luck, even with just a four man rush. Wake and Starks will get pressure all day. The Phins LBs are alot better than Indy's right now. Better at run stuffing and blitzing. Our secondary is shaky and I expect Luck to get over 300 yds passing, but thats because the running game won't do much against us.
The phins O-line is pretty damn good and I think Bush/Thomas will run against Indy, unless you put eight in the box and make Tannehill throw.

In all seriousness, I think Indy's offense (healthy) is better than Miami's right now, but Miami's defense is miles better than Indy's D and will be a tough test for Luck and I think the Phins win this one.

MIA - 24
INDY - 17

Yeah actually that is very close. Bush had one solid game. Other than that he has been barely average.

DB31 hasn't had a 17 yard game this year either...also Bush isn't the type of runner that usually gives us problems, the downside to saying that though is I know Thomas is.

[OldStyleCubbies]

Last time at home we thought Trent Richardson would run all over us. No reason we can't stop Bush. 5-3 sounds pretty sweet heading to Jacksonville!

To be fair, Trent Richardson got injured and knocked out of that game early.

I think this is going to be a great game, and I hope we see this matchup many times in the future, especially since I'm from the Chicago/NWI area. My gut is telling me that the Colts squeak this out in a close game; hopefully I'm wrong.

[sfgiants5518]

It's gonna be nice to have Mathis and Freeney out there again. Sucks Fleener is out, but that means more opportunity for Dwayne Allen. Let's win this week and get on a roll going into next week vs Jax.

I watched the Facebook Friday today on Colts.com. Donald Brown was on it and one of the questions was 'what was your welcome to the NFL moment?'

He referenced this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr6mE7WUBEI

This is the first time i seen this video. It's hilarious.

Miami is hot but I think we can take this game. It'll be close but I expect a win. Something like 20-16
