Preseason 2008: Bills at Colts (Opening of Lucas Oil Stadium), Halftime and 3nd Quarter

Stampedeblue_tiny by BigBlueShoe on in Game Threads

The man listed below might be the worst play-by-play announcer in the history of professional broadcasting. That, and his partners (Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk) are morons in the booth. Utter morons. Praising the Bills starters for looking good against the 2nd unit defense? You kidding me. Enjoy this open thread. Hate on NFL Network for torturing us with the Three Stupidos.

you wanted it last thread, you got it this one. That’s stick-to-it-iveness.

who would have thought that shannon would be the second worse announcer in that family

Jim More

Talks sense

did you see the pre-game

the top 10 RCA dome moments.

I don’t think they should have put the losses in there, but number one was his “Playoffs” outburst. He joked that that made him a lot of money.

by SeattleColt on Aug 24, 2008 9:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

agree

I’m amazed that he doesn’t hold and ill will toward the Colts, since he was fired. He actually seems to like them a lot.

After Peyton

These awful announcers—well, Faulk’s OK—keep saying this is what it’ll be like after Peyton’s gone. No, it won’t. Dungy (or Caldwell) and Polian (Bill or Chris, whichever) will not possibly allow the Colts to be quarterbacked by someone as bad as Lorenzen.

Well, at least we’ve not given up any special teams big plays, and Jennings has played well so far. The O-line has been OK. You know it’s bleak when Tim Jennings doing what we all hoped he would do was the best you could say….

The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.

Why does Jordan Senn make so many tackles?

So far he’s on 25 including this game.

by furrycolt on Aug 24, 2008 9:32 PM EDT   0 recs

He's Fast

He’s all over the field.

My theory about Senn

The backup D-line keeps getting beat by the opponents’ first team O-line, and Senn has to jump in and make plays. Which he does do.

He might be a keeper

He must have a nose for the ball. I’ve seen him get juked out of his undergarments, but he is always around the ball. I guess he might have a nice upside, since he seems to have good instincts.

by SeattleColt on Aug 24, 2008 9:34 PM EDT   0 recs

"this is what it'll be like after Peyton's gone"

is a stupid comment anyway. If he’s intimating that Peyton is done now (which I doubt he means) then he should say so outright. If he’s talking about some point in the future, then the team will be completely different by that point.

No more Dark Ages

I don’t want to go back to the dark years. I try not to think about it. The nearly 20 years before Peyton were too painful. So painful that I was proud of the ’87 strike year when our scrubs did pretty good.

Garcon

Always seems to go out of bounds on his kick returns. I’d like to see him try to take one all the way.

Sharpe

I’m not watching, because I refuse to watch preseason, but I find it hard to believe that ANYONE can be worse than Cris Collinsworth.

Shh

Don’t tell the “experts” that. They like to believe that he’s been crippled or something.

Experts

In their world Marvin is in jail, Peyton is in a wheel chair and the Jets will win the Super Bowl with Favre. They continue to impress.

I wondered about some starters

Coming back in the second half. Dungy said he wanted to make adjustments at halftime. It’ll be more interesting to see if the defensive starters like Freeney, Brackett and Jackson come back.

Let’s get Reggie, Marvin and Gonzo out. Throw it to Garcon, Hall and the Aroma. Let’s see some more of Hart.

I kinda don't want to

see Hart much. I’d rather see the battle for 4th RB

by ctnyc on Aug 24, 2008 9:41 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

What?

We’ll only keep 3RB’s this year

by furrycolt on Aug 24, 2008 9:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

At the start of last year we

Only kept 2, so I doubt we keep 4, maybe Simpson goes to the PS

by furrycolt on Aug 24, 2008 9:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

True. And I could be wrong

certainly. At any rate, I’d rather see non-rosters showcase for jobs elsewhere than see Hart used a lot tonight. Maybe I’m paranoid due to all the injuries.

by ctnyc on Aug 24, 2008 9:48 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Good point

I agree it looks like Hart’s #3, so maybe a battle with Dawson and K2?

The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.

by Coltsfan58 on Aug 24, 2008 9:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

there will be

no 4th RB. only 3. i think

by skywalker on Aug 24, 2008 9:42 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Defensive starters back in

Brackett’s still in, as is Session. Against their better judgment, Jennings is too.

Gray

He is looking down the receiver he wants to throw to and not really scanning the field. At least from what I can tell.

by hoosierdore on Aug 24, 2008 9:50 PM EDT   0 recs

Exactly

The last two throws, the RB was wide open with lots of space in the flat

Offense

Looks totally out of whack. The Colts just don’t give a crap about this game.

Some crappy playcalling.

Preason is for experimenting

They aren’t playcalling for a win, they are playcalling to see what each guy can do.

What we’ve learned:

1. Gray can’t throw in the endzone
2. hart can block

by furrycolt on Aug 24, 2008 9:52 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

And in the grand scheme

I’ll take that trade-off.

by ctnyc on Aug 24, 2008 9:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

That's cos they know he can run

But they want to see how he blocks and catches the ball

by furrycolt on Aug 24, 2008 9:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

So

Gray is supposed to know the no huddle offense. check off to it

by metal_militia on Aug 24, 2008 9:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm sure he knows enough

To run a few plays from it

He won’t be returning punts in 2008. Muffed that one bad.

by metal_militia on Aug 24, 2008 9:57 PM EDT   0 recs

yup

I say we draft another RB to replace rhodes and continue to use three backs
