Philip Rivers

It looks like Old Man Rivers will be starting this week vs one of the best Defenses in the league. 

Why is Rivers coming back?  I think there is a lot he likes about this Team and offense that got him excited.

1. The O line and John Taylor leading the league in Rushing

2. The Weapons  TE Tyler Warren - Rivers likes a good go to TE when the heat is on and Warren ranks 4th at TE      HOF TE Antonio Gates 

                         WR Alec Pierce - Rivers likes a good deep threat and long ball and Pierce leads the league in yards per reception 

                         WR Mike Pittman- Big target possession guy keeps the chains moving   

3. The Familiarity of the Offense - Coach Rivers has been running Steichen's offense with his HS football team that he has been coaching and he has remained close with Coach Steichen.  

Rivers can read a defense, get in the right play call and make you defend the entire field .......... can he still move in a pocket and sling it? 

I bet that he can but this Defense is a tough way to start 

Looking for +14 

I forgot 

4. The Team is in contention and the AFC is wide open.                                          

Should be interesting 

I bought Colts up to +14.5 in a few parlays. You should see +14 by game time.

 Riley Leonard.

Seattle will send rivers back into retirement and money into my pocket 

@flutie

 Rivers has been training with Riley Leonard the last two off-seasons. 

Do you think Riley is starting? 

I really don't want to see him get hurt.

You'd also think that there is a high probability of him pulling up lame on a scramble, something stupid like that. At 44 if you are not in prime physical condition, things like that can happen at anytime, let alone full go in a nfl game.

@WilliamMunny

 Or 

Everybody on Indy steps up and rallies around Old Man Rivers

Maybe the Indy ground game gets going mixed with some vintage Rivers play action pass.  

@undermysac

 Rivers does not scramble....his movement is with in the pocket 

Rivers does not scramble, he loves his eggs over easy!

I will tune in to see if Rivers can still hit the open receiver. He loved to throw that .

I'd like to see 44 yr old man Rivers fired up. Hope he still got that drive at 44 lol

 You must be Gen Z?
