as of 2 weeks ago (too lazy to check now) colts are the number 1 team against the pass and bob sanders is back meaning they are good against the run i see us having no chance on both sides of the ball

Even if we lose in Indianapolis, the season looks good from here on out. What was our problem all year? Offense. We may have just found our solution. If we can put that offense together with our great defense, we are one dangerous team.
Most important of all, the future looks bright right about now. I couldn't say the same thing when Hill was in there.
I'd rather lose with the most talented guys we have. There's no shame in that. We put out our best players and best effort, and we lost. It happens. It's another thing to have your best guys on the bench. When Hill makes a mistake, I think, "Man, this is hopeless. We're wasting time. We're not going to develop him anyway. When Smith makes a mistake, I think, "It's OK. Smith is still young and learning. At least he has the talent, all he needs is some coaching and experience." With Smith in there, it's much easier to be a fan of this team.

It is funny how this has come full circle. Alex Smith's first start as a rookie, he played the Colts. Alex Smith comes out and lights the Texans up, and his first start again in 2+ years......against the Colts.
Lets hope his fortunes are more positive this time around. If he plays like he did today, this team could surprise the Colts. The Colts have been traditionally bad against the 3-4 so lets hope that trend continues.
Go Smith! Go Niners!

Its funny because I was going to point that out as well. I guess I will throw in the Texans are the first team Smith got his TD against. We'll see what happens next week.
I don't know what to say about this team as far as a pass rush is concerned, because the only way to truly beat the Colts is to get after Peyton Manning. We have to beat him up, and we have to beat up those receivers. I'd also like to see Lawson covering Dallas Clark. On the offensive side of the ball, go 3 and 4 wide and spread the ball out. Some initial success will allow Gore to some space to run wild.
It may seem impossible, but it can be done. The Colts have to lose at some point. Why not next week? If Oakland can be Philly, we can upset Indy. Any given Sunday. Go Niners.

We'll probably finish 7-9 but hopefully Smith shows he can be the guy

Oh this is some real bulls**t that is going right now. After Alex Smith carved up the Texans D who hadn't given up but 3 points in the 2nd half of the last 3 games we CAN beat the Colts. They are not that good honestly. I am going to say we win 38-28
