Long year for Indy

Are the colts going to pull this one off?

Painter's first turnover didn't turn into 6 for the other team this time. Kinda breaking his pattern

 

[Naptown]

I bet you are crying since they "took" that one away from the bucs.

They better start tackeling on D IF they're gonna stay in the game.

 

[hornadylnl]

So far, the colts definitely look better than the bucs.

 

[Benny]

Wonder if it was NFL mandated to "make it look good?" 30-40,000 people fleeing Lucas Oil in the 3rd quarter on Sunday night football would have likely meant low ratings.

That would be cheating, so no.

Maybe they will be able to pull it of! 10-7 Defense needs to step it up a little bit. Caldwell shoud of picked that interception up!

 

[hornadylnl]

Tampa looks like they want to play now.

 

[hornadylnl]

Did the guy break his lower leg or blow his knee out? That looked nasty.

 

[hornadylnl]

Tampa just gave away 3 easy points.

 

[sharkey]

Looked like a broken ankle to me.


And it appears that ESPN is REALLY in love with the Lions fans. The still has been up for more than five minutes now, with a variety of audio behind it.

The bucs must have turned it on the second half. I went to bed. I definitely felt like the colts controlled the first 25 minutes or so. They are definitely improving.

I saw enough of the replay to tell his foot wasn't pointing in a natural direction.

 

[Ogre]

I thought for sure he snapped his Tib. and Fib., but apperantly it was a dislocated Ankle... Looked nasty though..

 

[halfmileharry]

We're running out of healthy bodies. "Adding insult to injury" at 0-4.
The effort is there but TB is't exactly a powerhouse either.
I don't understand keeping the linebackers back 15 yards but we stayed in the game so the coaches must be working on the theory of "using what we got" to keep us in the game with a chance to win. I hope so 'cause other than that I'm wondering "what in the heck are they thinking". All night the same hole was open over the middle and keeping their drives alive.
Talk about an injury depleted roster. Worst I've seen injury wise in Indy. EVER

On the plus side, Painter did not make any huge mistakes. Some errant throws but no picks, passer rating of 99.4. Much better than Collins has been.

The fumble was Addai's fault, he missed his block.

I thought it looked too high up for just an ankle as well.

I can only speak to the first half but the colts appeared to be playing with heart and determination. They seemed to fall apart a little in the last 5 minutes of the first half. For the first 20+ minutes, the colts d shut them down.

Painter looked pretty good last night. They need to keep him as the starter, especially with their lack of an O line. If Collins had been playing, Foster would have a roommate in the hospital.

The Colts rookie LT still seems to be lost out there half the time. Even without a full camp, he should be getting use to the speed of the NFL game. As far as Painter, I'd say that he looks like he is improving (who knows how many times he would've had completions instead of 2 hopping the ball if he got proper reps in camp or in garbage time). Collins, poor guy wasn't ready and in shape to come back for a year and then putting him out there with an O-line that is playing lost quite a bit doesn't help anything. Hated seeing that Foster injury, a break is much easier to deal with.

 

[hornadylnl]

Is there an "x" touchdown rule for the nfl like there is a 10 run rule for little league?

 

[AZ Hunter]

Lets hope so, this could end up being 40+ to nothing at half! Great primetime game!
