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.

I Think I Heard Tom James Say On ESPN
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.

Roof
Just on tv they said they are going to open the roof… dunno if it will stay open.
