PrintThe 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.

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.
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.
"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.

He can't even get the handoff right
Ouch!

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.
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
I kinda don't want to
see Hart much. I’d rather see the battle for 4th RB
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.
Defensive starters back in
Brackett’s still in, as is Session. Against their better judgment, Jennings is too.

Roby
Anyone out there think Courtney Roby will make this team?

Gray
Nice throw to Gonzo

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

Last sentence is dead on, BBS
Motivation appears to be generally lacking tonight, with certain exceptions.

Agreed
Some crappy playcalling.

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

anyone think that hart will be the backup next year
cuz we only have dom one year
yup
I say we draft another RB to replace rhodes and continue to use three backs

But Rhodes is likely to re-sign
If things work out in ’08
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
He's going to shoot another Clarian commercial

I Agree
6 WRs this season. Maybe 3 QBs. The 2009 draft better be focused on D-line.

you really think so
so how many wr’s do you think we are going to carry?

Still not sold on him
He makes about as many mistakes as good plays. I think the catch on the last play was better than the throw. To borrow from baseball, Gray feels more like a power hitter to me. He might hit a home run, but he has a good chance of striking out.

hehe
lol, no arguments there. He appears to be afraid to make a mistake, so he takes few risks, and in the process ends up stinking as a QB

Silva
Always looking to hit, and hit hard. Good by Ratliff, too.
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
you gotta tackle
better than that. the third and fourth string players are allowing extra yard because of not finishing the tackles
That's why they're 3rd and 4th team, you think?
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
In case that seemed snarky
The point I was making was that Dungy won’t stand for poor tackling. These guys won’t make the team if they can’t tackle well.
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
my point
exactly. I was saying that because these guys have today and thursday to make the team. better do better than that

Many people criticize what they don't understand
Isn’t it wildly ironic that Deon would say this while callng this game so poorly?
The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
Bingo
Deion strikes me as the type that loves to hear his own voice. He probably talks to himself in a mirror for 20 minutes a day.
