the new stadium
Is the only reason to watch the game tonight …. this isn’t much of a game with so many starters out. But I’d rather they play it safe… It isn’t worth it to lose a guy to injury over nothing. These games are really about filling the roster out with the new players and those guys on the bubble for being cut. How else would we be 3-14 in these games over that last several seasons?
An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...
Im watching not only because of the new stadium
I want to see which of these players are going to step up to keep there jobs. IMO 2 games means there still alot of evaluation to be made. Lets see who has it to make the active roster or who deserves to be on the practice squad.
Anyone heard
how many plays Freeney and Sanders are expected to play tonight?

that they would play into the second half.

NFL Network
Finally I get to use the NFL Network for what I bought it for, Colts Football.
Also Jim Mora Senior is a commentator for the NFL Network now? He had trouble with Osi Umenyiora’s name. But who wouldn’t?
Yep
It’s closed. My guess it is the humidity right now.
I could care less whether the roof is opened or closed. The roof is very small and it would be hard to notice, especially at night.

Peyton
NFL Network keeps showing him walking around the stadium and his walk looks fine. No limp or signs of a brace under his pants or anything.
Jim Mora
Dude still looks good. What is he? 80?

Go Colts!

It's Opening
Not too exciting to watch though. I hope the September 5th HS football game will have the roof open.

I must say,
i do like the new comment system. does it still act up after a hundred or so comments?
Go Colts!
Don't think it acts up
But I’ll keep an eye on it. After about 175 comments I usually make a new thread anyway.

He needs to call the game and leave the comments to Faulk and Sanders.

Tim Jennings fell (shocking, I know). He then got up and made a great tackle.

Agreed
Sharpe has a good broadcasting voice, but he seems lost. And his comments are just… well, dumb.

Which brothers are more annoying:
The Barbers or the Sharpes?

Don't want to risk injury to Sorgi?
Who may have to start week 1? just askin’…
Wow
Lorenzen starting is a big WTF moment.

very surprising
either the Colts lost confidence in sorgi or they just want to see who deserves the #3 spot more
by metal_militia on Aug 24, 2008 8:20 PM EDT up reply actions
Let backups run
with 1st team to get true indication of their potential… possible.
Why Lorenzen
And not Quinn Gray?

Holding on play

Announcers
Keep talking about the Bills spreading the field, and they’ve had one first down thus far, right? Just dumb.
LOL
They apparently love the Bills offense tonight, even though they have looked pretty average against a banged up Colts defense.

Please God
let him get a few licks in so he’s not pissed off in practice this week….

Dink, dink, dink
Nothing but underneath crap.

Yup
Would have had a couple of picks in my mind if we had our other DE’s back

All this dink and dunk crap
And Bills have 3 points.

Jennings
has sure improved from what ive been seeing in these preseason games. He keeps this up, we can have him cover those small speedy wide outs.
And hardly any rushing yards
Yep, great strategy.

I don't think it was
stepping off the bus, I think the announcer noticed it as he stepped off the bus
WTF is that
Lard, throw the ball. You’re fat. You can’t run.
