Colts Vs. Panthers Game Day Thread

[LucasOilStadium]

Welcome back to Indianapolis Colts football, everybody! :smile: Let's hope the past bye week has helped our Colts prepare themselves as they try to win games the rest of this season, but also be in position to play spoilers, and have the grit to defeat their remaining opponents who may be in contention in reaching the NFL playoffs before the end of the regular season.

Colts might have their best chance to finally win their first game of the 2011 NFL regular season, as they play #1 NFL Draft Pick Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers. :panthers: Panthers are the last NFC South interdivisional opponent the Colts are scheduled to play this season, and Carolina has a 2-8 record, along with the Rams and the Vikings. Colts should also have an extra advantage since today's game is also being played at LOS.

Colts though must overcome the Panthers offense, as they are currently ranked #5 overall in the NFL, despite their 2-8 record, and the Colts are next to last in both total offense, and rushing defense at #31.

Indianapolis is also seeking to avoid their first 0-11 start since their 1986 NFL season, and at the same time continue Carolina's 12 game regular season road losing streak. Colts are also 13-9 coming off their bye week, as they defeated the Houston Texans from their bye week last season 30-17 at LOS back on Monday Night, November 1, 2010.

Today will be the fifth regular season meeting between the teams, with the Panthers currently leading 3-1. Carolina won the first three games of the series before Peyton Manning and the Colts defeated the Panthers 31-7 at Charlotte back on October 28, 2007.

Chris Myers and Tim Ryan will announce the live TV commentary, along with sideline reporter Jamie Maggio, for the NFL On FOX, seen regionally in North and South Carolina, Evansville, Indiana, and in Indianapolis on WXIN FOX 59 live on HD.

Bob Lamey, our 'Voice Of The Colts,' and Wil Wolford will also announce the live game radio commentary, along with sideline reporter Kevin Lee, simulcast on Colts flagship stations WFNI ESPN SportsRadio 1070AM, WLHK Country 97.1FM, and the Colts Radio Network.

LOS's roof should be closed to protect both the fans and players for this afternoon's 1:05PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff. Local forecast outside the stadium at gametime is rainy and wet at 48 degrees, feels like 44 degrees, 78% precipitation, 86% humidity, and mild northwest winds at 9 miles per hour.

Colts will dress in their usual blue home jerseys and white pants, while the visiting Panthers will dress in their matching road white jerseys, and silver pants.

We would like to see NO injuries to our Colts players, as they follow their game plan, and try to persistently win their first game of their 2011 season! GO COLTS!!!!!

@ LucasOilStadium You are so good at starting game day threads and also providing so much information at the same time.

I would probably just post something like:

I am starting this thread so we can discuss the Colts/Panthers game.

Thank you. I really appreciate all the effort you put into starting these threads.

Marvin isn't on the inactive list....

[21isSuperman]

Olson possibly hurt a bit?

[Chris Cassaday]

Is this game blacked out

[21isSuperman]

Pat Mc-Ah-Fee? It's Mac-afee

[21isSuperman]

Kevin Thomas getting the start today

[Coltssouth]

Is this game blacked out

I'm watching it on Fox.

[21isSuperman]

Defense makes a stop, good job boys. Let's go offense

[Chris Cassaday]

I am in ffort wayne and crocodile dundee is on. Since fox only gets one game I guess they decided to show the bears here

I'm watching it on Fox.

[21isSuperman]

Are those boos I hear?

[Coltssouth]

Peyton's gotta' make that throw? Tell me he didn't just say that.

[Coltssouth]

Are those boos I hear?

Yeah

[Jay Roland]

Well Painter showed he can't hit the broadside of a barn wide open Collie and he can't hit him

[21isSuperman]

The madman bringing the heat!

[Malakai432]

I have a feeling Painter is going to have a big day with 205 yards & 2 TDs 2 INTs as he missed that wide open pass...

[Coltssouth]

Tuba in a Santa suit.

[21isSuperman]

Freeney vs. Newton in a footrace, who wins?

[21isSuperman]

Newton's arm is insanely strong

[21isSuperman]

Awesome stop on that screen!

[Thewholefnshow28]

Are those boos I hear?

I would boo too. Collie ran a great route and Painter horribly overthrew him on third and eight.

That throw looked like something you would see from a high school QB.

God he ia awful.

[21isSuperman]

Better 3 than 7, let's go offense. Get it together and get 7 on the board

Painter's accuracy is terrible

[21isSuperman]

Lefeged not even trying to return...which is actually a good thing

[LucasOilStadium]

Panthers scored the first points with the FG by Mare. 3-0 Carolina.

[Malakai432]

How many wide open passes will Painter miss this drive??? Also how many Painters does it take to complete a wide open pass???

[21isSuperman]

Run, run, pass, punt....

[Malakai432]

Ugh same old play calling, I guess if it works you gotta stick with it...

[21isSuperman]

Ugh same old play calling, I guess if it works you gotta stick with it...

And if it doesn't work, I guess you stick with it too

[Jay Roland]

another 3 and out. we have only scored 13 pts in th e1st qtr. all yr ?

[luvdacolts67]

This is by far the most pathetic offense Ive ever seen take a football field. Same plays on every down. Everybody knows we are running the ball on 1,2nd down. This is soo hard to watch

[Malakai432]

Run, run, pass, punt....

Yep eerily similar to the last drive. Watching this offense grow for the worse each week is as bad as getting a root canal.

[21isSuperman]

Wow, that play was executed very nicely. Great throw and catch

[Jay Roland]

grat throw by newton
