2009 NFL Pre-Season: Indianapolis Colts at Detroit Lions- Open Thread #3

2009 NFL Pre-Season: Indianapolis Colts at Detroit Lions
Location: Ford Field; Detroit, MI
Kick-off Time: 1:00pm Eastern
SB Nation Co-Blog:
Pride of Detroit

 

New thread. Both offense and defense have looked better in the second half. It's a tough game to evaluate as so many starters on defense simply aren't playing, or are playing only only a few series. Basically, if you didn't already know, the Colts don't give a crap about pre-season.

He’s playing better than Keiaho…

And you are correct.

Garcooooon.

Nice to see him actually catch it!

by hahasound on Aug 29, 2009 3:22 PM EDT reply actions  

I haven't payed too much attention to Ugoh

How’s he done? Haven’t heard his name…that’s good lol.

Nice hold

Sorgi...

I hope you don’t mind shifting careers. Painter’s got this job next year, if not this one.

by tenyardfight on Aug 29, 2009 3:26 PM EDT reply actions  

he had the block, too...

his guy was not going to get to Ball… that was an unnecessary hold..

by hahasound on Aug 29, 2009 3:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

Foster… shoulda stuck with the Klecko pass. :)

by 18to87 on Aug 29, 2009 3:26 PM EDT reply actions  

Foster lol

Nice hold.

Hopefully Foster learned something

We need him (or a FB) on those short yardage plays.

by smonroe on Aug 29, 2009 3:28 PM EDT reply actions  

Rookie mistake by Painter. That pass should have been thrown before Tamme turned around.

by 18to87 on Aug 29, 2009 3:28 PM EDT reply actions  

FYI

Ugoh is playing right tackle.

handled the Lions DE well on the painter incomplete

haven’t gotten much of a chance to watch him anywhere else

It's not just your perceptions that can be wrong. Even your memory is often incomplete or possibly flat out wrong.

by shake n bake on Aug 29, 2009 3:30 PM EDT up reply actions  

The hold call was bogus...

Were his arms outside of the shoulderpads of the defender? Yes. Did he functionally use them to “hold” the defender. No. He blew up the defender who was going no where and his arms did pretty much nothing to aid in the block. Oh well.

by bamock on Aug 29, 2009 3:30 PM EDT reply actions  

Good Job by Moala on that run stop

Didnt make the tackle, but disrupted the play

by metal_militia on Aug 29, 2009 3:34 PM EDT reply actions  

Bull

freaking Matthews

you weren’t going to make the roster, but if there was any shot you had, youjust lost it

by metal_militia on Aug 29, 2009 3:36 PM EDT reply actions  

Please go for 2

We really don’t want preseason OT.

by nmbrthry on Aug 29, 2009 3:38 PM EDT reply actions  

they should take a look at that one…he bobbled that ball obviously

by coltsfan723 on Aug 29, 2009 3:39 PM EDT reply actions  

Rushing

He is so much better returning kicks than anyone else.

bye bye matthews deffinatly

by coltsfan723 on Aug 29, 2009 3:42 PM EDT reply actions  

Two bad Matthews drops in a row

it’s not enough that he’s going to be cut, he’s looking to be cut RIGHT AFTER THIS GAME.

by hahasound on Aug 29, 2009 3:42 PM EDT reply actions  

Hmm..

good question…

probably no one at LB or DT,
maybe McDermott, maybe Chad Simpson..
Josh Thomas seems a likely cut,
maybe that DE we picked up recently, the one who isn’t Rudolph Hardie… he hasn’t done anything to justify keeping him.

by hahasound on Aug 29, 2009 3:50 PM EDT up reply actions  

Too bad too...

He looked great in the first two games.

by bamock on Aug 29, 2009 3:43 PM EDT reply actions  

but he blew this one

by coltsfan723 on Aug 29, 2009 3:44 PM EDT reply actions  

GAME

Dun nuh nuh nuhhhh!!!! Super Mathis

by hoosier in sodak on Aug 29, 2009 3:46 PM EDT reply actions  

I'm shocked!

They picked up a third down!

by smonroe on Aug 29, 2009 3:47 PM EDT reply actions  

The Hughes experiment is over

The guy can’t cover 3rd stringers.

by smonroe on Aug 29, 2009 3:47 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah...

I’d rather give Lacey the roster spot to develop than keep Hughes.

by bamock on Aug 29, 2009 3:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

Name the Five?

Mathews, Hardie, Paschal, Cloherty (is he still with the team?), ???

by smonroe on Aug 29, 2009 3:54 PM EDT reply actions  

11 yards,

5 seconds…

It’s not going to save his job, but not a bad use of time.

by hahasound on Aug 29, 2009 3:54 PM EDT reply actions  

Did anyone get hurt this game?

Went to the Red Bull Soap Box Race here in Atlanta. Good drunken time. Is everyone on the team ok?

by hoosierdore on Aug 29, 2009 3:59 PM EDT reply actions  

my 5

Cloherty, Mathews, McDermott, Mendenhall, Gill

Hardie and Paschal are very possible but I like them too much to say them.

It's not just your perceptions that can be wrong. Even your memory is often incomplete or possibly flat out wrong.

by shake n bake on Aug 29, 2009 3:59 PM EDT reply actions  

May need Mendenhall

Joe and Don probably won’t play more than 1 series each on Thursday.

by smonroe on Aug 29, 2009 4:01 PM EDT up reply actions  

maybe Hart will be ready

or they could just run Simpson into the ground.

Running Simpson into the ground?

Now that osunds like fun. Punish him, then cut him.

Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.

Man, I need a life...

Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: I don't want this guy to get anywhere near me.
