Doesn't the Colts pass defense rank # 1. The real question should be, what are your expectations.
#2 in points, #6 in yardage
I had no idea their pass defense was ranked that high.
They're #19 in run defense, fwiw.

A heavy dose of the spread offense is my prediction against Indy. They have a great pass D and great pass rush. I think Raye will try to give them a new look they haven't seen on film from us.

I either want him to do well and establish himself as our QB, or do horribly so we know that the position needs addressing in the off season.
I don't think Indy is going to tell us much , unless of course he lights it up then they may have something
true, but I was speaking in general for the remainder of the season.
I hope Alex does well and I hope we address the position in the offseason.
that's the thing though. If he does well, nothing will be done in the offseason as far as bringing in another QB.
For the record though, I say no he doesn't flop. Yeah Indy's pass D is good, but I'm sure it makes a good D look better when you play against the Rams, Seahawks, etc. It made ours look better. There's still not much film on Smith2.0 except the 2nd half vs Houston. He has the arm to sling it all over the field. If our stupid OL holds up we have a shot to beat them IMO. I think we do it.

My prediction is that he will have at least 2 picks and will be on the run constantly due to our s**tty O-Line! Singletary will get pissed and pull him and we will have another wave of whiners screaming that "He never really got a fair chance to compete to be our starter"!
even if Smith plays horribly, Sing will not make another switch so soon. He'll get at least 2 games no matter how he plays.
I know... Just BSing...Except for the bolded part!

I actually think he's gonna do OK. I don't think we win this game regardless, but if Bill Cosby keeps the spread going, he'll put up numbers and we should move the ball.

Look at the good passing teams they played? The only good one was the Cards and they went over 300 yards.

Some fans are wishing that he flops this weekend just to prove themselves right.

We're playing the Colts. Things aren't going to go well for Alex and company.

this is probably his last chance so he could get a case of some nerves, but as long as he doesn't become TO prone.... how bad could it beat the same time he knows how it feels to be road pizza (see suit years)...so the pressure may not get to him at all who knows
I think this is Smith's job for awhile,regardless of the outcome (barring injury). Singletary says he does not want to go back and forth and Smith's skills give this team the best chance to win. So he stays with Alex, for awhile at least. But I for one think Smith is going to prove the doubters wrong. The guy I saw QBing last Sunday looked in every way like a legitimate NFL QB to me. Maybe I am wrong; I sure hope not.
