Week Fifteen: Indianapolis Colts at Oakland Raiders- Open Thread

by Brad Wells on Dec 16, 2007 4:28 PM EST in Game Threads

Indianapolis Colts (11-2) at Oakland Raiders (4-9)

Week Fourteen: Indianapolis Colts at Oakland Raiders

Location: McAfee (Oakland) Coliseum

Kick-off time: 4:15 pm ET

Broadcast: CBS

Key injuries: Marvin, Diem, Antoine, and Mathis are out. Sorry the open thread was late getting up. Thx to jdb for the temporary open thread. I've spent the morning trying to figure out why the damn site is all screwed up. I think it's one of the rss feeds on the left. Annoying.

Anyway, Jacksonville beat Pittsburgh, which means that a potential Colts win locks up the AFC South and the #2 seed. But Oakland shouldn't have any plans to simply roll over. For a Raiders fan's take on the game, check out the always enjoyable saint over at Silver and Black Pride.

Here's to a good, clean game with (please!) no injuries. Go Colts!

Special Teams

Rushing takes one to the house in the first quarter. Raiders look surprisingly good against the run. Armomoshadu catches one, for the second time all year. Clark drops his second pass. Manning has his quick snap and catches 12 men on the field. Lane Kiffin looks like he's 12. Utect looks good.

I think that about covers it.

Ryan and Belichick

Ryan and Belichick share a cardboard box in Topeka in the offseason. It's very cozy.

haha.

must be a BIG cardboard box.

Manning TD

Manning RUSHES for a TD. Kiffin challenges. Might get it, might not. If he doesn't, the Colts are about 2 inches and Goal. I vote QB Sneak.

Fantasy

I have Wayne, Peyton, and Clark on my fantasy team. I really need a good week from these guys (secondary to them winning the ballgame, which is the most important thing, right?). The guy I'm playing has Adam. Please, no more field goals, guys, and Dallas, please start catching the ball, K?

Driving me nuts

3 times inside the 5, only 6 points. Ugh. We should be blowing this team out. Addai needs to stop "stutter steeping" inside the 1. PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN AND GET IN THE ENDZONE!

Agreed

At least the Raider Offense is nothing to worry about.

by burc on Dec 16, 2007 6:01 PM EST up reply actions

well

by driving 99yards they aren't "nothing" to worry about.

by torontocoltsfan on Dec 16, 2007 6:03 PM EST up reply actions

well

haven't done much since...

by burc on Dec 16, 2007 6:07 PM EST up reply actions

Raider defense

They're very good against the pass, but the Colts really need to pound the run down their throat.

In the red zone. Colts might run here. Raiders still have timeouts.

by yellowsnow on Dec 16, 2007 6:52 PM EST reply actions

1,000

Joseph Addai goes over 1,000 for the season. Joins Faulk and Edge was only two Colts to get 1,000 yards first two seasons.

Joseph also just got the first down.
