So what's the offensive gameplan next week?

oldutican : 10/26/2014 7:44 pm
This is for all the first (not second) guessers. Ben and the Steelers have torched the Colts for 500+ in the air. Should the Giants strive for balance and ball control to keep the ball away from Luck, or should they attack with a fast pace and a majority of passes?

I say attack.

Peyton Hillis all day!!!
pretty simple  
newmike2 : 10/26/2014 7:47 pm : link
score at least one more point than the other team and keep the defense off the field as much as possible.
If there's one thing  
Dan in WNY : 10/26/2014 7:47 pm : link
to give a defense back its confidence, it's the NYG offensive line
We will run the ball

Because that just seems to be how it goes.
Expecting a very tough game vs them  
micky : 10/26/2014 7:56 pm : link
Hopefully they can move the ball vs them. But I don't trust the Giants OL

Cornman33 : 10/26/2014 7:57 pm : link
we should stick with the run regardless of how effective or ineffective it is, at least until the game is out of hand.
If there's one thing that I have learned  
Gman11 : 10/26/2014 8:10 pm : link
is that you can't assume that a team will play this week as bad or as well as they did the previous week.

Teams look like they have no defense one week then get 5 sacks and 4 turnovers the next.

Offenses score 40 points one week and then only get a couple of field goals the next.

The Eagles looked pretty weak the game before they demolished the Giants and the Giants offense looked like a juggernaut. How many of us saw that result coming?
Wrong question!

What's the defensive game plan.
Good luck against Luck!
I'm MUCH more concerned  
bradshaw44 : 10/26/2014 8:16 pm : link
about the defensive game plan. Did you see Luck in a losing effort? Sheesh, we are gonna get ROLLLLED...

Now THAT is my concern.

I doubt the Colts only run the ball 10 times next week unless the Giants somehow go up 35-10 in the first half.

On offense, just because the NFL nature is as the previous poster said, week-to-week with almost no carryover, it is hard to see the Colts defense playing to that same level of bad two games in a row when you consider how good they have been all season.
Look at the year Luck is having.. .  
arcarsenal : 10/26/2014 8:47 pm : link
@ DEN - 35-53, 370 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT
vs. PHI - 20-34, 170 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT
@ JAX - 31-39, 370 yards, 4 TD, 0 INT
vs. TEN - 29-41, 393 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT
vs. BAL - 32-49, 312 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT
@ HOU - 25-44, 370 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT
vs. CIN - 27-42, 344 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT
@ PIT - 26-45, 400 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT

NO ONE is stopping Andrew Luck this year. Outside of 1 game, he's thrown for 300+ in every single game

He throws the ball more than any QB in football. They are going to put the ball in his hands and throw, throw and throw some more.

All we can do is hope we can force a few turnovers and slow him down some. Our offense better be ready to put the ball in the endzone a bunch

we have the same gameplan week after week...nothing changes, no matter the opponent.
Try to estsblish the run until 12:00 in the 4th quarter  
ballanda : 10/26/2014 9:36 pm : link
Then start throwing INTs.

That would be sound if the Giants weren't among the tops in the league in allowing big pass plays.

Giants could control the ball for 35-36 minutes. But the Colts could still score 28-30 points with the way they throw the ball downfield. And against the Giants defense, they have the clear advantage there.

The gameplan better be

to score about 40 points, because that's what it's going to take.

A point this week.
One good thing is that this will be Indy's 2nd straight road game  
SGMen : 10/26/2014 10:50 pm : link
They are better at home and on turf than on the road, in the cold, on our type of field. Having said that, they are coming off a loss so there will be no "NFC letdown" against us on Monday night.

We should be fairly healthy going into the game but without Cruz, Thurmon and McBride I don't see us winning.
We tried  
AnishPatel : 10/26/2014 11:02 pm : link
that shit against the Eagles and got owned. So I think we stick with our usual offense. Conservative and balance.
20 runs up the gut  
Patrick77 : 10/26/2014 11:08 pm : link
10 runs outside with running backs who can't get to the edge fast enough
4 failed screen passes
22 quick hitting passes
4 deep attempts (2 sacks, 1 completion)
3 false starts
2 holding penalties

Seems likely.
The offensive gameplan...  
81_Great_Dane : 10/27/2014 12:03 am : link
Hmm... I suspect they will outsmart themselves, thinking "We have to control the ball, have sustained drives, run the clock and keep Luck off the field. Like Buffalo in 1990. So we'll commit to the run." It'll be 24-6 by the time they give up on that and turn Eli loose, and they'll lose 31-30.

I think the defensive gameplan should be to avoid 3rd and long. They seem to get KILLED on 3rd and long, but are tough on 3rd and short. So give up 7-8 yards on 1st down. Problem solved, right? See, this football thing ain't so hard.
Do you think Fewell will be clever enough...  
PonderingObserver : 10/27/2014 2:29 am : link
To assign a "watcher" on Luck who often runs out of the pocket to gain yardage?

rebel yell : 10/27/2014 8:03 am : link
pressure on Luck and I don't see us bringing it with any consistency. Wish I could be optimistic, but this has 40+ points for Indy written all over it. That means our offense will need to match them score for score and from what I've seen so far, we don't have the weapons to do it.
Fewell will sell out to stop the pass.....  
Reb8thVA : 10/27/2014 9:26 am : link
and Bradshaw will run all over us. It will be deja vu from the last time we played the Colts.
so jealous watching other teams like the Patriots

You forgot to add that we will publicly state that we will continue to run the ball regardless of results to help the Colts better prepare for us.
Run the ball on first and second down  
oipolloi : 10/27/2014 2:43 pm : link
Put the game in the hands of Hillis , Hyno, and Fells

The beauty of this plan is that it can not be derailed by injuries. Even if all three are injured, Giants can easily find equivalents on practice squares and with guys who are out of football

Luck is the opposite of eli on tipped passes  
Mondo : 10/27/2014 3:03 pm : link
They all hit the ground
It would seem, based on current results for both teams  
Matt M. : 10/27/2014 3:05 pm : link
The giants should try to win a shootout. the reality is likely that we will try to slow the game down by running the ball. the outcome will likely be the opposite than the desired one, as the ineffectual running game will only result in the Colts offense getting more time with the ball.

This is a game that should be put in Eli's hands and have the passing game set up the run if they get the lead.

beatrixkiddo : 10/27/2014 4:42 pm : link
Nicks helped him out feeling what it was like to be Eli vs. Pitt though; falling to the ground on a timing route so the DB could get the easy pick 6.
