wake up freaks its the official game day thread

[njcoltfan]

Have at it !! Colts 27-13.

[Brylok]

Been up playing games all night. Gonna take a nap and hopefully be up in time for the game. Chargers win 24-20 unfortunately. Glad football is back. Brisket has a big job ahead of him

[ChoppedWood]

Fuck the Bolts, I am going Colts.

31-24

[Racehorse]

Been ready since January

[smitty46953]

Colts 17-13 :cool:

Playing games?

[omahacolt]

Chargers 20

Colts 13

[Hoopsdoc]

The Chargers are notoriously slow starters and they’re down several key players. Colts will keep it close but end up losing 31-24.

[IndyNorm]

With all of LAC's injuries I wouldn't be shocked if we won, but we usually struggle on west coast trips. Especially against the Bolts.

LAC 24-17.

[DrSpaceman]

I think the Chargers will win

But what gives me hope is the fact that all the "experts" are picking the Chargers and Phillip Rivers and this team are notorious for losing games where they are heavily favored and expected to win.

[omahacolt]

Have at it !! Colts 27-13.

decent title but i think it should probably have a colts vs (insert name bashing the chargers to your liking) addition to it

[omahacolt]

especially early in the season

[rcubed]

20-13 chargers.

27-24 colts. Vinnie is the difference. Defense/special teams get one touchdown and set up another.

[Puck]

17-13 Colts

Tyquan Lewis inactive

[JAFF]

Tyquan Lewis inactive

Did he have a neck issue

[smitty46953]

Surprised a bit that E.J. Speed is inactive :cool:

[omahacolt]

Did he have a neck issue

No

[Lov2fish]

Colts 24 Bolts 13

[Puck]

Glad for the defer. I want to see the D first

[Oldcolt]

Haeg and Andrews are our only active back up lineman?

[Brylok]

playing games?

ps4

[Dewey 5]

Nice rook!

[Racehorse]

Dangerous throw to Cain

[Racehorse]

Glow got beat bad.

[Spike]

Getting gashed right now. Damn.

[Racehorse]

Getting gashed right now. Damn.

Force a TO

[Puck]

they have no kicker . so wonder if theyll go for it on 4th if they dont get in on 3rd

[Brylok]

Ekeler looking like old time Sproles...

[nate505]

Pretty good to hold them to a FG there

[nate505]

What a BS call

[Spike]

Stupid ass penalty.

[Colt Classic]

Neat.

[Big Smooth]

So it starts with the game changing penalties

[nate505]

Damn that was an extremely costly penalty

[Brylok]

Ouch

[Racehorse]

Hard to win on the road when the officials are biased.

[Colt Classic]

Fuck off announcers. Shut the hell up about 12.

[nate505]

Fuck off announcers. Shut the hell up about 12.

Gumbel really felt the need to get his two cents in.

[Chromeburn]

Gumbel really felt the need to get his two cents in.

What did he say? I’m at a bar

[Colt Classic]

Gumbel really felt the need to get his two cents in.

They always have some notes they want to interject. I'm not watching to hear the opinion of some clown who just flew into the game for the weekend and couldn't care less about the Colts beyond it being his assigned game.

[Spike]

Gumbel really felt the need to get his two cents in.

Fuck Gumbel. Fans are emotional, shit happens.

[Racehorse]

Not a fan of the play calls when we run. Mack up into a horde of people is not going to cut it.

[1965southpaw]

What did he say? I’m at a bar

Indy fans suck for booing Luck.

[Spike]

Damn, we can't run the ball worth a shit.

Brisset gets the 1st down though on a QB sneak.

[Spike]

Nice run there by Mack. Nice drive so far.

[nate505]

What did he say? I’m at a bar

We've been to Indy before and their fans are great, but those who booed Luck sucked.

Well that's a paraphrase.

[nate505]

This has been a fine drive. They must get points from it though.

[nate505]

Come on JB, ease up a tiny bit

[Spike]

LOL, Brissett throws a 5 yard missile. He's going to hurt somebody.

[Puck]

Boom Baby

[nate505]

Fuck yes.

Damn good drive JB. Great catch Hilton.

[Spike]

Beautiful drive. Brisset to Hilton, TD!!!!!!

[Racehorse]

This has been a fine drive. They must get points from it though.

Brissett shows he can answer a drive by Rivers.

[nate505]

What the fuck AV....

[Chromeburn]

Good accurate passes, simple reads. Enough runs to keep them honest.

[Puck]

WTF Vinnie

[Brylok]

Ohh, AV. I hope that isn't a bad omen

[nate505]

It's a 5 point swing from stupid mistakes, sheesh

[njcoltfan]

Way to go Vinnie !!

[Spike]

Damn Vinnie, you miss easy shit and hit high pressure kicks. Concentrate for the love of God.

[Spike]

Got to get some pressure on that prick Rivers.

[nate505]

Defense is getting worked so far

[Spike]

Can we play some defense please?

[njcoltfan]

Where the hell is this great defense the Colts are supposed to have!!

[Racehorse]

Hold missed on 2nd and 2

[nate505]

Got to get some pressure on that prick Rivers.

On cue

[nate505]

Damn damn damn damn

[Spike]

These announcers suck.

Fuck, the Chargers score again.

[Brylok]

Good grief

[Dewey 5]

That was pretty poor.

[njcoltfan]

Another big gain given up!! So far this much improved defense sucks!!

[Racehorse]

Another missed hold. The guy grabbed his leg and tackled him.

[Colt Classic]

Where the hell is this great defense the Colts are supposed to have!!

Looks like a generic cover 2 that gives up yards forever and maybe gets lucky in the red zone. The PR department worked well to make us think it would be something more than that.

[nate505]

Ugh, not a great half so far

[Colt Classic]

Here we go...:rolleyes:

[njcoltfan]

Oh well !!

[Luck4Reich]

4-12 with Brissett at best... he just isnt good enough.

[Brylok]

Looks like Luck took this team's confidence with him when he quit and left. Smh...

[njcoltfan]

4-12 with Brissett at best... he just isnt good enough.

He’s not playing defense!!

[Big Smooth]

Just ugly....

So disappointed

[kitekrazy]

Looks like Luck took this team's confidence with him when he quit and left. Smh...

That should be no surprise.

[Luck4Reich]

He’s not playing defense!!

This team never believed in Brissett you dumb Fuck!

[Spike]

4-12 with Brissett at best... he just isnt good enough.

Defense is the problem so far. Brissett hasn't been bad.

[Brylok]

That should be no surprise.

I'm not surprised. I predicted 5-11 and I'm sticking to it

[Puck]

Defense is the problem so far.

As well as the running game. Mack has no vision what so ever

[njcoltfan]

This team never believed in Brissett you dumb Fuck!

Again asshole, what’s that got to do with not playing defense?

[Luck4Reich]

Defense is the problem so far. Brissett hasn't been bad.

They dont believe in him.. Luck leaving deflated this team.

[Colt Classic]

This just keeps getting better.

[Spike]

Leonard down, damn.

[Luck4Reich]

Again asshole, what’s that got to do with not playing defense?

Piss off idiot.... everyone knows Going from Luck to Brissett was 6 losses automatic.

[nate505]

Man I hope Leonard is ok

[HoosierinFL]

Special teams is the real issue.
Poor coverage on opening kickoff
FG penalty gifts a TD
Missed extra point
Allowed blocked punt

Defense is being put in tough spots. JB is playing very well. Mack is not reading his blocks well and the oline looks like shit.

[Butter]

Leonard down, damn.

Last thing the D needs.

[nate505]

This team never believed in Brissett you dumb Fuck!

That’s a tad different than the claim you’re making about him not being good enough

[Puck]

need a miss here

[nate505]

They really don’t want to call a hold

[Luck4Reich]

That’s a tad different than the claim you’re making about him not being good enough

He isnt good enough. Lots of teams with QB need past couple of years and noone wanted Brissett.

[Chaka]

He isnt good enough. Lots of teams with QB need past couple of years and noone wanted Brissett.

Quit being a baby. Toughen up

[Colt Classic]

The defense is going to have to win this game with a few points in the 2nd half. Doubtful Jacoby is going to be able to do more than he has--which is fine, but not enough against a team capable of putting plenty of points on the board.

[nate505]

ST's is dreadful so far

[Maniac]

Well the defense has been a big disappointment so far

[nate505]

No urgency....

[nate505]

He isnt good enough. Lots of teams with QB need past couple of years and noone wanted Brissett.

That may be so, but this game isn't much proof of it so far

[nate505]

AV might be done

[Colt Classic]

I mean fucking hell...

[Maniac]

Ridiculous

[Butter]

Kicking is a mental game.

[Brylok]

AV looks done. Hope not but damn...

[HoosierinFL]

Add a missed FG. Thats an 8 point differential attributable to special teams plus indirectly another 3 points from the last FG because we gifted them field position.
But wtf Vinatieri?!

[Chaka]

Lots of abnormal things this half. Missed kicks, blocked punt, unfortunate penalties. We’ve got the ball to start the 2nd though

[Big Smooth]

Oof... I didn't expect much but hell... What happened to my team?

[Colts And Orioles]

o


17-6, and the Colts get the ball to start the 2nd half.

If Reich can make adjustments at halftime (such as getting the players play better), a win still is not out of the question.

I def think there are some schematic tweaks we can make on both sides of the ball. But we gotta execute. And we gotta eliminate anymore special teams goofs.

[Butter]

Colts looking like shit to start the season is nothing new.

[DragonTails]

This team is still wining the division.

[nate505]

So far this game is all on STs. It's like cutting Milton cut the soul out of the group.

[Colts fan from BK]

AV needs to hang it up. I’ve felt that way for a while now

[Butter]

run the damn ball

[Racehorse]

run the damn ball

35 yards so far this half

[Racehorse]

I mean 46, lol

[Racehorse]

Can't run on every play, you know. They have this thing called the pass!

[nate505]

Well they got some points at least

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Sometimes a young, inexperienced kicker such as Vinatieri needs a couple of attempts to get over his nervousness/jitters.

lol

[HoosierinFL]

I feel like they made the tweaks needed on offense to get the run game working but the playcalling got a little wonky and they stuck with it too long instead of calling a play action. Now lets see what they did for the defense at halftime

[Chaka]

Brissett’s gotta take some heat off those short passes. If he keeps it up, we’ll have lots of deflected passes

[kitekrazy]

Well this forum is starting out like any forum when a team is playing bad by taking it out on other members.

The Astros put up 21 runs today. I wonder how many NFL teams they outscore today.

[nate505]

Damn it Houston, that was horribly timed

[Spike]

Get a sack and then an off sides penalty, fuck. If it wasn't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.

[Butter]

Justin, this is why we can't have anything nice.

[nate505]

Holy moly, Eckler just destroyed Walker and Desir

[Butter]

WTF, this D looks terrible.

[Spike]

TD chargers. Colts are self destructing today.

[Brylok]

Ekeler is the new Sproles...

[Dewey 5]

Get a sack and then an off sides penalty, fuck. If it wasn't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.


And without Luck we ain't winning shit.

[Puck]

Get a sack and then an off sides penalty, fuck. If it wasn't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all.

Well he retired so we officially have no Luck at all

[smitty46953]

Leonard needs make that tackle, yes strip be nice but gotta make that tackle. :cool:

[Butter]

Leonard needs make that tackle, yes strip be nice but gotta make that tackle. :cool:

Agreed, he got greedy.

[Spike]

And without Luck we ain't winning shit.

Maybe, but this game isn't on JB.

[Big Smooth]

How many screens is it going to take?

[Butter]

Maybe, but this game isn't on JB.

It is on the D and ST, they have been turrible.

[nate505]

This is a two possession game that feels like a five

[Spike]

Mack is a beast.

[nate505]

Fuck yes Mack !!!!!

[Butter]

Mack Attack!

[Butter]

Jeebus what a nice hole!

[Brylok]

Marlon Mack! Wow!

[Dewey 5]

D needs step the f up now!

[Butter]

Vinnie got his groove back.

[Puck]

Bout time you show up 25

[Maniac]

Mack must have laser surgery on his eyes at halftime :D

[Colt Classic]

D needs step the f up now!

Maybe stop a check down for less than 20 yards.

[Big Smooth]

Do love this line tho

[Colts And Orioles]

o


2 solid kicks in a row for Vinatieri ........ the guy whom Reich said that he is the least concerned about.


o

[Chaka]

Maybe we’re wearing down the SD defensive line

[Spike]

Damn, can't stop the run.

[Spike]

Good, sack that prick Rivers.

[Butter]

I am having fucking flashbacks to the Dungy years and not being able to stop the fucking run.

[1965southpaw]

Good, sack that prick Rivers.

Ok. :D

[Butter]

Damn there are a lot of Colts fans at the game.

[Spike]

They are getting to Rivers. Too bad we couldn't recover that fumble.

[nate505]

Other than one play that was a great defensive series

[Butter]

I will say it is nice to see how much pressure we are getting.

[Colts And Orioles]

Damn, there are a lot of Colts fans at the game.



o


A contingent of the city of Los Angeles made it clear that they didn't want the Chargers when the move was announced 3 years ago.

They probably ought to move back to San Diego, where they were much more wanted ........ that's what happened in between the 1960 and 1961 seasons, when they first started out in the AFL.


o

[nate505]

Looked like they jumped offsides, but no

[Puck]

here we go!!

[smitty46953]

Sweet
:cool:

[Spike]

Finally a break.

[Colt Classic]

You know it's screwy when we're down on AV and up on Odum.

[nate505]

Just what the doctor ordered!

[Butter]

Bout time ST redeems itself.

[Colt Classic]

Jacoby's gonna keep one of those handoffs and run for about 20.

[HoosierinFL]

Jacoby's gonna keep one of those handoffs and run for about 20.

Yea i suspect they are saving that one

[Butter]

Jacoby's gonna keep one of those handoffs and run for about 20.

They really have not exploited his mobility yet.

[nate505]

Totally worth a challenge

[Butter]

Ya gotta

[Colt Classic]

As soon as he's on his back, that's a TD. It's an instantaneous thing, not a "must get up and walk away with the ball" kind of thing.

[Brylok]

Ebron straight robbed of the TD there

[Dewey 5]

Totally worth a challenge

Have too. I'm just sure wtf a catch is anymore.

[Butter]

As soon as he's on his back, that's a TD. It's an instantaneous thing, not a "must get up and walk away with the ball" kind of thing.

This is the NFL sir, nothing is certain.

[Puck]

not gonna get this one

[HoosierinFL]

It still isnt clear what defines a catch and when a player is down in the endzone.

[Dewey 5]

This is the NFL sir, nothing is certain.

I'm certain the cheats cheat.:cool:

[nate505]

I hate the NFL so much

[Colt Classic]

Gawd fucking dammit. Come the fuck on already.

[Dewey 5]

We might have a kicking problem. Age is a bitch.

[nate505]

AV is done

[Butter]

I am not surprised it stood, but it is BS.

[Spike]

AV has cost us 7 points so far. Damn.

[Puck]

We might have a kicking problem. Age is a bitch.

Hopefully it happens tonight to Brady

[Chromeburn]

Football gods don't want us to have this one

[nate505]

That sequence might be the game

[Colt Classic]

AV is done

All these years of being cute with the pre-season kicking game...maybe should've kept a guy on the practice squad since they have available spots.

[Big Smooth]

Hang them up bud. This is embarrassing.

[Colts And Orioles]

o


2 solid kicks in a row for Vinatieri ........ the guy whom Reich said that he is the least concerned about.


o
o


Just shut up, and watch the game.

[Butter]

The guy you have on the PS is likely no better than a guy on the street you can sign.

[Colt Classic]

The guy you have on the PS is likely no better than a guy on the street you can sign.

Haven't 3 or 4 of the last few pre-season kickers gone on to regular kicking jobs? McManus, Parkey, etc? Being around AV in practice is a worthy internship that some schmoe off the street hasn't had.

[Butter]

Haven't 3 or 4 of the last few pre-season kickers gone on to regular kicking jobs? McManus, Parkey, etc?

They never would have lasted on the PS, you understand other teams can sign them off the PS right?

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Just missed an AJ Duhe-like pick-6 there.


o

[HoosierinFL]

The -10 point differential from special teams is the difference in this game. There have been plenty of mistakes on defense but on the whole the team has played well enough to win, excluding the special teams

[Dewey 5]

This SD drive is the final nail in the coffin I think.

[Colt Classic]

They never would have lasted on the PS, you understand other teams can sign them off the PS right?

but you said such a guy is no better than one off the street, so why would they bother? Which is it?!

[Dewey 5]

Or not.

[Chromeburn]

Crossing routes killing us.

[nate505]

Oh baby, Hookers best play as a Colt!!

[smitty46953]

We got a nice Hooker :cool:

[Spike]

Nice pick by the Hook.

[Dewey 5]

but you said such a guy is no better than one off the street, so why would they bother? Which is it?!

I'll take a street Hooker.

[Chromeburn]

Goddamn look at that speed

[Colts And Orioles]

o


If Vinatieri misses one more kick today, I'm going to blow up his fucking car in the parking lot.


o

[Butter]

but you said such a guy is no better than one off the street, so why would they bother? Which is it?!

I am not playing this game, the odds they cleared waivers or lasted on the PS is low.

[Chaka]

Play of the week, win or lose...

[Big Smooth]

Straight snag too

[Chaka]

If only Ebron had those hands

[nate505]

What the hell kind of play calling is this

[Chromeburn]

Umm maybe should have a sense of urgency here

[nate505]

Hey, a pass. Too bad they lost 20 yards before that

[Chromeburn]

Wtf throw down field

[nate505]

Funchess is strong

[Spike]

Nice 4th down throw by Brissett. He has played well.

[rm1369]

For all of Reichs talk about Brissett, his play calling is showing a big lack of confidence in him.

[nate505]

Why are they afraid to let him throw or bootleg

[Butter]

Pass the damn ball!

[Chromeburn]

Guess we're going for two if we score

[nate505]

What’s sad is they would be in a position to win if AV didn’t crap the bed today

[Chromeburn]

Nice 4th down throw by Brissett. He has played well.

He hasn't been the problem today at least

[nate505]

Run run run run run

[Chromeburn]

Seriously. What is this?

[Butter]

Mack has 172 yards, when did we last see that as Colts fans?

[Brylok]

What’s sad is they would be in a position to win if AV didn’t crap the bed today

And if the NFL knew what a completed pass is. We still don't know after years of problems

[Butter]

great Mr Fun Chest is broken

[smitty46953]

TD TY :cool:

[Spike]

TY is a beast.

[Chromeburn]

great Mr Fun Chest is broken

Did Krishawn Hogan get picked up?

[Butter]

Fucking TY MONEY!!!!!

[Brylok]

Ty ty

[Chromeburn]

Wow TY is just special

[Butter]

Wow TY is just special

But But he is not a true number 1. Fuck those people. Most underrated WR in the NFL.

[Brylok]

Haha! Tie ball game! Wow!

[Butter]

It is pretty nice having an OL that when everybody expected you to run it, can still run it. Mack is also the real fucking deal, I was certainly wrong about him in the past.

[Butter]

No longer Hate Sproles, new hate is Eckler.

[Brylok]

Phantom PI call against Quincy

[Chromeburn]

But But he is not a true number 1. Fuck those people. Most underrated WR in the NFL.

Never got that argument. He just doesn't get the press bc Luck was hurt for so long

[Spike]

OT, didn't think I would see this considering how fucking bad we were in the 1st half and how bad AV has been today.

[smitty46953]

AV gotta be pissed at himself :cool:

[Colts And Orioles]

o


A Chuck Pagano-coached team probably would have allowed Rivers to get his team into field goal range in those final 38 seconds.


o

[Spike]

AV gotta be pissed at himself :cool:

He should be. He only has one fucking job and he screwed that up.

[Butter]

So where is Luck4Reich. Fuck that guy.
