Pete Carroll Revealed His Game Plan Against Colts Week 5

This Colts game isn’t just another Sunday matchup — it’s a gut check. A test of identity. Discipline versus chaos. Pete Carroll knows it, the players know it, and honestly, so do we. The blueprint is sitting right there on the table — the question is whether the Raiders will actually follow it. Because if they don’t… if they panic and decide to throw everything on Geno Smith’s arm again, this game could be over before halftime. We’ve seen that movie before, and it doesn’t end well.
Geno starts hot, maybe hits a deep curl. Then he gets greedy, tries to squeeze one between two safeties. Pick. You see it on his face — frustration, anger, that desperate need to make up for it. And that’s when the wheels fall off. Suddenly it’s not one interception, it’s three. Not one mistake, it’s a meltdown. You can’t beat Indianapolis like that. Not this team. Not this season.
Because this version of the Colts? They’re built to punish mistakes. They thrive on discipline, they feed off turnovers, and they will bury you if you hand them extra possessions. That’s why Pete Carroll’s plan is so simple it’s genius. Forget the highlight plays. Forget the hero ball. Play Carroll football — run the rock, stay patient, use play action to protect your quarterback from himself. Ugly? Sure. Effective? Always.
Now, let’s talk about Indy, because these guys are no joke. They’re not a soft opponent you can just steamroll. We’re talking top ten against the run, only giving up about seventy-five yards a game — and that’s against real competition. You’ve got DeForest Buckner still wrecking pockets like it’s 2019. Quiddy Pay setting edges with violence. Zaire Franklin flying sideline to sideline like a heat-seeking missile. That’s a front seven built to ruin your day. And when they’re forcing fumbles and grabbing interceptions like they have been, you better believe they’re smelling blood already.
