Do I need to remind you the Colts and Seahawks just played?
The Colts won (BTW, for the other guy who told me I should just smile and nod, I am indeed smiling as I write that).
Yep. You most certainly did beat a Seahawks team that was without its starting Pro Bowl LG (Okung) ... its starting Pro Bowl C (Unger) ... without its starting RT (Giacomini) ... and whose starting LG is playing LT. So, 3/5 of the starting Offensive Line (or really 4/5 if you consider that McQuistan is playing out of position) was missing. Seattle was also playing without its starting Pro Bowl TE (Miller) ... and we have yet to see Percy Harvin even hit the field yet.
And despite all of those deficits, the Hawks managed over 400 yards of offense vs. the Colts ... over 200 yards on the ground ... and lost by a mere 6 points on the road.
I'm not taking anything away from what Andrew Luck did (he's a phenomenal QB) ... but in all honesty (as incredible as it is to say), I'm not all that impressed with what I saw from the Colts. That defensive line outside of Mathis was fairly mediocre IMO. If the Seahawks Offensive Line was fully intact and Miller is playing ... I'm thinking that Marshawn Lynch could have rumbled for close to 200 yards in this game.
Come February if these teams both meet again in the SB ... and Seattle is once again at full strength ... I very much like our chances.
