[A Nickname For Luck [Merge]]

If Peyton was the Sheriff, then Andrew can be the New Sheriff

[Question of the Day - 08/21 "Twosday Twofer"]

1. No

2. First pre-season game was a sort of yes, by the 2nd game a no.

[Pagano talks to media]

It's on the website.

[Most impressive players in the 1st two games.]

I've been impressed with those listed above, and glad to see someone mentioned Vinatieri...he nailed that 53 yard FG with plenty to spare.

[Are you looking at the Colts Game Photo Gallery?]

The photos are great..wish they'd do away with those annoying ads, thought. But, I guess it pays the bills.

[A Nickname For Luck [Merge]]

Okay, I heard during the game Sunday night that our small receivers were being called the Smurfs, so it's only natural that our QB throwing passes to them be Papa Smurf....he could bleach his hair and beard.

[always fun to laugh at the jets]

LOL...love it!!!

[The best thing: What Luck said after the game.]

That was during the halftime recorded interview with Chris Collinsworth. I also recall him saying his goal was to win the Super Bowl, and he added if that doesn't happen this year, then the more immediate goal is to make the playoffs.

I love the consideration for his teammates and the fact he's setting lofty goals, not something like, 'the Colts were 2-14 last year, so I'd like to double the win total this year or even finish with a .500 record.'

This guy is special in the way he thinks, the way he learns, the way he plays and the way he conducts himself. Going to be a great ride!

[Allen and Fleener]

Lots of potential in these two guys...they'll only get better with experience. I like the direction we're going and was impressed with the game last night. We out-played Pittsburgh and the game came down to mistakes we made that cost us. Those mistakes will hopefully dwindle as the season progresses.

[The Difference Between The "New" Colts and Past Colts]

No doubt there's a difference in style on offense and defense, and I like what I see so far.

[Chapman]

Despite the fact that they get paid, it is still hard for them to be as familiar as a diehard fan is with a 90 man roster when there are 32 teams and they only cover ours this week.

I see your point, but these guys had just ONE game to broadcast this week and several days to prepare. I used to broadcast high school sports and there were teams with 90 players on the roster. I had a spotter and I'm sure these guys have at least one spotter.

[Chapman]

I heard Chapman's name, too. These guys get paid a lot of money to broadcast games, you'd think they'd be more prepared.

[Frog hop feild goal block]

I really hope we don't have too many games with these fill in refs. Last night has just downright horrible and the NFL should be embarrassed after the showing they have done in all the games up til now. I seen holding so many times last night I was screaming mad not to mention that horrendous spot on the negated touchdown.

I agree...lots of mistakes that can possibly determine the outcome of a game. Let's get the real officials back before the season starts.

[Frog hop feild goal block]

I was impressed!! Seems the Steelers always get the bounces, deflections, etc. go their way. Oh, not to mention non-calls for pass interference and holding.

Dandy Andy

[Give the offensive line some props]

I was impressed with the play of the OL last night, especially against the aggressive Steelers defense.

[Collie concussion discussion (Merge)]

Whether or not it's a concussion, it seems to me that defenders make an effort to hit him in the head. Maybe it's my imagination, but I don't recall any of our other receivers over the past couple of seasons getting hit in the head as often as Collie.

Bottom line to me is that he needs to evaluate things even if this isn't a concussion. He'll take more shots to the head at some point and we're now learning the long term effects of concussions on players. He needs to enjoy his family more than he needs to play football. It's a shame...he's a very good receiver.

[Prediction thread]

Steelers 20 Colts 17

[Question of the Day - 08/15]

Have never attended, but I hope to be able to someday.

[Colts sign undrafted supplemental prospect Larry Lumpkin]

Shhh... I, er, just like the name Barry...

:yay:

If he makes the team, he's be known as the "Great Lumpkin"

[Do you think this was a legal hit?]

No doubt it was illegal and the fine should be doubled since it came in a meaningless pre-season game.

[who will win SuperBowl 47]

Just to be different, and if I'm right then I can take the credit - :lions: v :bills: with the Lions winning their first Super Bowl and Buffalo losing a record 5th Super Bowl

[What do you want to see on Sunday?]

I want to see further improvement, come out of the game healthy and a Colts win.

[Question of the Day - 08/13]

Encouraging

[The return of Brackett?]

Minimum 6 weeks ... just heard on NFLnetwork that another player not sure who it is returns tonight I think after being out 12 weeks with a fractured foot.

That would be Hakeem Nicks of the Giants.
