We're so spoiled

Just think, after Peyton is gone, we could be seeing this type of football on a regular basis.

announcers

faulk doesn’t seem too awful, but sharpe and sanders are crap.

by yellowsnow on Aug 24, 2008 8:42 PM EDT   0 recs

Sterling

I dont think its necessarily his fault because everyone in the both is the analyst. there is no al micheals or jim nanz person

He got 2 yards

 How is that a “good job?”

Cuze they are the Bills

And that is their Game Plan

by MarkFive05 on Aug 24, 2008 8:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Just like that Scramble

was a part of their game plan

Good Pressure

But a QB scramble is annoying

Nice decision?

to run for your life as the pocket collapses?

Dink and dunk

I hate when teams do that to us, but it seems to happen a lot

by SeattleColt on Aug 24, 2008 8:46 PM EDT   0 recs

What else are they to do

Colts do a great job taking away the big play. Problem is if you don’t score TDs, you’re screwed dkining against Colts.

yup

as soon as the Colts offense gets a score you are pressured to match them score for score. The fact is teams dont have offenses that can match them score for score

"Huddle Cam"

What do you guys think about this “Huddle Cam”?

It doesn’t seem as if they are getting into the Huddle very often

by MarkFive05 on Aug 24, 2008 8:48 PM EDT   0 recs

Because if it did

Belichick would be hacking into the feed.

It's kind of funny

Just the fact that they whip out the “HUDDLE CAM” text every time they go to it is hilarious. It is not as exciting as they think.

look really good right now..

by yellowsnow on Aug 24, 2008 8:51 PM EDT   0 recs

I disagree

He hasn’t put the ball in the air for more than 10 yards

by furrycolt on Aug 24, 2008 8:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Agree

Dinking and dunking against a second unit defense is not looking good.

They made a few third and long conversions look pretty easy. That was slightly annoying to say the least.

its part of our "Stategery"

make other clubs think the backups are better for their teams. We do that sometimes during the regular season too :)

Second unit

Colts have the second unit defense out there.

Well, I’m happy to see Sanders and Freeney play and look good at that. Be nice to see Peyton play to ease our collective minds.

they didn’t even say what team it was when they mentioned the injury. I am so glad it wasn’t us.

Great quotes in footblal history!

Take away the scramble and we’ve given up 36 yrads from 13 carries!

I Googled John Madden Quotes

 I’m lucky. I’m the luckiest guy in the world. I never really had a job. I was a football player, then a football coach, then a football broadcaster. It’s been my life. Pro football has been my life since 1967. I’ve enjoyed every part of it. Never once did it ever feel like work.
John Madden – Lucky – Jobs – Life – Work – Enjoyment

They talk about how hard coaches work. They work 18, 20 hours a day. They sleep on a couch. They don’t come home. You know, that’s not the hard job. The hard job is a coach’s wife, believe me. The job of the coach’s wife, she has to be mother, father, driver, doctor, nurse, coach, everything, because the coach is out there working.
John Madden – Jobs – Hard Work – Family

The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.
John Madden – Success – Winning

As I look back now on my coaching career, I think of my family, I think of the days that we spent together. I say this to coaches everywhere: If you ever have a chance to take your kids with you, take them. Don’t miss that opportunity. Because when it’s all over and done with, when you look back, those are going to be your fondest memories.
John Madden – Jobs – Family

Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.
John Madden – Winning – Self Help – Optimistic

Wayne Brady makes Bryant Gumbel look like Malcolm X

Wow

Horrible Commentating.

It seems as if the Colts are not going to win a single game.

It also seems as if the Colts don’t give it their all every play, even in presason.

finally

marshall says something smart

by metal_militia on Aug 24, 2008 8:59 PM EDT   0 recs

OMG

It’s the second unit you retards. The Blls first unit is playing Colin Ferrel and Jordan Senn.

Um, they lied to you Sterling

The Colts don’t give a crap about this game.

Marshall Faulk is the only one who has said something smart.

He was holding it running off the field

And now, we mute

Sterling Sharpe, Deoin Sanders, and Marshall Faulk are announcing idiots. Mute button. Pandora radio music. Bob Lamey radio voice.

And they want me to pay extra for this channel so I can hear such wonderful commentary? Fat chance.

by hoosierdore on Aug 24, 2008 9:02 PM EDT   0 recs

thats probably your cable company

NFL network wants to be part of the basic channel lineup, but they also probably want a lot of money for each subscriber.

The balance of greed between the two only screws over the customers.

"They didn't game plan to be on the field this long"

Yes….. I’m sure Tony Dungy is totally at a loss right now. He’s pretty inexperienced and has probably never been in this situation before.The brilliance of these commentators shines through my crappy internet picture….

I’m glad I turned the tv off when I did, seems like everyone is about to shoot themselves.

We’ve found a worse announcing trio than MNF.

Gloves

Does it ever bug you guys that Dallas doesn’t wear gloves? Seems like everyone else does.

by hoosierdore on Aug 24, 2008 9:06 PM EDT   0 recs

He obviously doesn't know the Colts

He just said Dallas Clark has reliable hands.

by furrycolt on Aug 24, 2008 9:07 PM EDT   0 recs

doesn't he?

Maybe I’m just a Hawkeye homer, but I think Dallas has great hands

by SeattleColt on Aug 24, 2008 9:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Dallas drops waaay to many balls

But he’s still amazing, but it’s his ability to get open that makes him good

by furrycolt on Aug 24, 2008 9:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He did have the most drops in the league last year...

But I think he usually has reliable hands
