  1. Hi, Colts fans!    :)    Colts next game with the Broncos at Denver, the first Colts Vs. Broncos NFL game not involving, and since Peyton Manning's retirement,  is the NFL On CBS's primary late doubleheader game of the day this Sunday, with Jim Nantz and former New York Giants and Moorehead State QB Phil Simms announcing the live TV game commentary, along with sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson, and seen in most of the USA, including WTTV CBS Channel 4 in Indianapolis, live on HD.    :coltslogo:    :1colts:  :colts:    :coltslogo:

     

    Both WTTV CBS Channel 4 and WXIN FOX Channel 59 are also both showing the Bengals @ Steelers  and  Cowboys @ Redskins  early primary  doubleheader and single header games for both The NFL On CBS, and The NFL On FOX, both games seen live on HD.  :fb:

  2. Hi, Colts fans!  a battle of the blue  this afternoon, as our Indianapolis Colts begin their 2016 NFL Regular season hosting the Detroit Lions at LOS (the building)  the 43rd all-time regular season meeting,as they will try to earn back the AFC South Division title with a healthy Andrew Luck, and reach the NFL playoffs after two seasons.

     

    This afternoon is also the return and homecoming of former Colts, and current Detroit Lions Head Coach Jim Caldwell.  Caldwell followed former Head Coach Tony Dungy to Tampa Bay from Indianapolis,  becoming quarterbacks coach and assistant Head Coach from 2002 through 2008, helping the Colts win and defeat the Chicago Bears 29-17 in Super Bowl XLI at a rainy Dolphins Stadium back on February 4, 2007.

     

    Caldwell later succeeded Coach Dungy to become the Colts Head Coach in 2009 through 2011, before being relieved from his duties after finishing the 2011 regular season at 2-14,  mostly because Peyton Manning was out all season because of his neck surgeries that year.

     

    Indianapolis is playing Detroit in the first of four interconference games this season playing opponents in the AFC South during the 2016 NFL Regular Season.   A unique arrangement by the NFL schedule makers during the offseason, is that all four NFC North teams are playing at AFC South teams on the road during the course of Opening Week -   Green Bay @ Jacksonville, Minnesota @ Tennessee, Chicago @ Houston, and  Detroit @ Indianapolis.

     

    Colts also lead the Lions in the all-time regular season series, with 21 wins, 19 losses, and 2 ties,  Colts are also on a four-game regular season winning streak, including their 31-21 win over the Lions in Detroit's first visit and game at LOS back on December 14, 2008.  

     

    Andrew Luck threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Donnie Avery with a Adam Vinatieri PAT as time expired in regulation, to help the Colts come from behind and win 35-33 over the Lions in both teams last meeting played at Ford Field back on December 2, 2012.

     

    Lucas Oil Stadium's roof may be opened for the late Sunday afternoon's  4:25PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff, because sunny and clear skies at 85 degrees,  0% precipitation, 44% humidity and very mild northeastern winds at 4 miles per hour.

     

    NO injuries, win your first game  in 2016, and GO COLTS!!!!!    :cheer:   :coltslogo:   :1colts:  :colts:  :coltshelmet: :cheer::rock:  :coltslogo:

    Why does 506 Sports always show the upcoming week for the NFL and the week we just passed for NCAA?  Why don't they do the forthcoming games for both pro and college?  I don't know how many times I've looked at the table for Saturday and find myself thinking "Didn't these teams already play?" until I finally spot a game I know I already watched.

    Mr. 506 Sports from New Brunswick, Canada (506 is the Area Code of that Canadian Province) just posted Week 2 of the the College Football Schedule for this weekend, beginning with Maryland @ FIU, and #13 Louisville @ Syracuse on Thursday Night. :)

  4. Hi, Colts fans!  :)  New York Rangers play-by-play broadcaster  Kenny Albert,  and former Dallas Cowboys halfback Daryl Johnston, are announcingt he live TV game commentary,   along with sideline reporter and interviewer Laura Okmin, for The NFL On FOX's late regional doubleheader game at Lucas Oil Stadium (the building) late Sunday afternoon, seen mostly and regionally, in Indiana, Michigan, and Toledo, Ohio, and locally on WXIN Fox Channel 59, live on HD.  Colts/Lions is also a homecoming for Jim Caldwell, where he coached both the Colts and now the Lions.  :coltslogo:   :1colts:  :colts: :coltshelmet:   :coltslogo:

     

    WXIN Fox 59 is also televising the Bears @ Texans early regional doubleheader game on the NFL On FOX, while WTTV CBS Channel 4 at the same time is televising the Bengals @ N.Y. Jets early primary single header game on The NFL On CBS, all games seen live on HD.  :fb:

  5. Great preseason finale game and  by our Indianapolis Colts!  :thmup:  Our Colts was able to achieve finishing and concluding their 2016 NFL Preseason Schedule at 2 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie (if you want to include the cancelled Pro Football Hall Of Fame Game with the Packers).  Stephen Morris' 25-yard touchdown pass to Tevan Smith with over a minuite left in the fourth quarter, made the Colts come behind to defeat the host Cincinnati Bengals 13-10 at Paul Brown Stadium. Morris and Scott Tolzien combined for 31 of 42 passes completed, for 305 passing yards, over the 1-3 Bengals.

     

    Now comes the real schedule beginning in 10 days, as the Colts host the visiting Detroit Lions in both teams opening week matchup on September 11, the 15th year anniversary that forever changed America.

     

    Hope the braintrust  of Chuck Pagano and the Colts coaching staff, General Manager Ryan Grigson, and the Colts scouting and support staff, in earnest, evaluate and decide with much difficulty, the 22 players, the coaching  and player personnel  staff make the cut down to the 53-man regular season roster that will represent the 2016 Indianapolis Colts.

     

    Colts may likely sign between the 7 to 10 players that will make up the team's practice squad.

     

    We wish the Colts in selected the best and talent players that will start to endure the 16-game regular season beginning September 11, and try to improve from their 8-8 record in 2015, and recapture the AFC South Division Title in 2016!   

     

    See you here when the Colts host the Detroit Lions in their season opener at LOS, and GO COLTS!!!!!  :coltslogo:   :)   :1colts:  :colts:  :coltshelmet:   :coltshorse:   :coltslogo:

  6. Hi, Colts fans!  :)  Our Indianapolis Colts conclude their 2016 preseason schedule, as they travel southeast down Interstate 74 to play their annual preseason game with the Cincinnati Bengals.  Tonight is both the Colts 23rd all-time preseason meeting with the Bengals, and 12th visit in Cincinnati for a scheduled preseason game.

     

    Many players are on the bubble tonight to make the regular season roster, and after tonight's game, all NFL teams must cut at least 22 remaining players to meet the mandatory 53-man regular season roster for the 2016 NFL regular season.

     

    Head Coach Chuck Pagano and his coaching staff, General Manager Ryan Grigson, the Colts pro and scouting departments, and perhaps even Colts owner Jim Irsay and his family, go through the annual and unpleasant decisions in personnel, and retaining the best players by position, that will become the 2016 Indianapolis Colts that take the field on opening Sunday, September 11.

     

    Cincinnati though leads the all-time preseason series over Indianapolis entering tonight with 14 wins and 8 losses. Bengals are also in a three game preseason winning streak over our Colts, outscoring 71-23 in those three games.  Colts last preseason win over the Bengals was four years ago, when Indianapolis defeated Cincinnati by the score of 20-16 back on in the preseason finale back on August 30, 2012.   Highlights in that last preseason win over Cincinnati includes two touchdown runs in the second quarter, from 7 yards by Deji Karim, and 1 yard by Darren Evans, two PAT's by Adam Vinateiri, and a Chandler Harnish 42-yard touchdown pass to Dominique Jones.

     

    Cincinnati may currently lead the preseason series 14-8, but more important for Indianapolis, the Colts lead both the all-time regular season series with 17 wins and 10 losses and 2 postseason series. Colts last two regular wins occured during their 2014 NFL season.  Colts defeated and shutout the Bengals 27-0 at LOS (the building) on October 19, and defeated the Bengals again in the rematch in their AFC Wild Card Playoff Game by the score of 26-7 on January 4, 2015, both games played at Lucas Oil Stadium (the building).

     

    NO injuries, and good luck to all the reserve and free agents that are trying to make the cut with both the Colts and the Bengals. GO COLTS!!!!!     :coltslogo:    :rock:  :1colts:     :colts::coltshelmet:  :coltslogo:  :)

  7. Hi, Colts fans! :)  Our Indianapolis Colts both won at Buffalo, but lost to Baltimore with identical 19-18 scores in their first preseason games,  Hopefully the Colts can score more points, and win by a bigger margin tonight as the host the visiting and 2-0 Philadelphia Eagles at Lucas Oil Stadium (the building).  Colts seek to win their first preseason win over the Eagles in seven years.

     

    Traditionally, the veteran starting players  in both offense and defense perform, and are involved in the most playing time during game action in the third preseason game.  Later by the second half, in this game at the discretion and decision by both the Colts and Eagles coaching staffs, the starters would then be benched and replaced by the drafted and undrafted rookies, and free agents signed, to show their talents on the playing field during the remainder of tonight's game, especially those players on the bubble, to try to make, and survive, next Tuesday's mandatory cutdown from 90 to 75 players by Tuesday afternoon.

     

    Tonight is the 21st all-time preseason meeting between Indianapolis and Philadelphia, each team winning 10 games. Colts and Eagles last met both teams  preseason opener last year, with Philadelphia winning 36-10 over Indianapolis, played at Lincoln Financial Field back on August 16, 2015.  However,  won their last preseason meeting over the Eagles, in Philadelphia's last visit to Indianapolis, winning 23-15, back on August 20, 2009.

     

    Colts though lead the Eagles in the all-time regular season series 10 games to 9, with their rivalry that began in 1950. Eagles won the last regular season meeting, defeating our Colts 30-27, and played at LOS back on September 15, 2014.

     

    Don Fischer and Rick Venturi are announcing the live TV commentary locally on WTTV CBS Channel 4 in Indianapolis, and the Colts Preseason Telelevison Network, live on HD.

     

    Bob Lamey and Jim Sorgi are also broadcasting the live radio game play-by-play and analysis, along with sideline reporter and interviewer Matt Taylor, simulcast on Colts flagship stations WFNI ESPN Radio 1070AM, and WLHK Country 97.1, and the Colts Radio Network.

     

    LOS's roof should be closed again to protect both the Colts and Eagles, and the fans attending tonight to protect the outside elements, because mostly cloudy skies at 88 degrees, feels like 95 degrees, is the game forecast for the 7:05PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff, along with 15% precipitation, 58% humidity, and southern winds at 8 miles per hour.

     

    NO injuries to both the Colts and Eagles, as we wish all the players the best of luck as they try to impress their coaching staffs after tonight's game to try to make the cut from 90 to 75 players, heading into the preseason finale at Cincinnati. Go for Win #2 tonight, and  LET'S GO COLTS!!!!!    :cheer: :coltslogo:  :1colts:  :colts:   :coltshelmet:    :rock::cheer: :coltslogo:

  8. Hi, Colts fans!   :)  Our 2016 Indianapolis Colts are back into the friendly confines of Lucas Oil Stadium (the building), after barely winning on the road at the Buffalo Bills 19-18 last Saturday.  Colts are hosting the Baltimore Ravens, and both teams are playing their first-ever scheduled preseason game, home or away, between the teams.

     

    Ravens are also coming from their 22-19 win over the Carolina Panthers last Saturday, but the Colts will try to win their second straight preseason game in front of their home fans.

     

    LOS's  retractable roof should be closed to keep everyone and everything dry  for tonight's 7:05PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff,  because cloudy skies and scattered thunderstorms at 79 degrees, feels like 84 degrees, is the game forecast outside in Downtown Indianapolis, along with 45% precipitation, 77% humidity, and south/southwestern winds at 13 miles per hour.

     

    NO injuries, as both teams continue to try to make through the first major cut from 90 to 75 players, and into the 53-man regular season team roster, and GO COLTS!!!!!    :cheer::coltslogo::cheer::1colts:  :colts::helmet:  :rock:

  9. Colts did not show any rust or lack of energy from the cancellation of the HOF Game, and the decision to sit out Andrew Luck in the sidelines, as Adam Vinateri's 38-yard field goal in the fourth quarter was enough to earn Indianapolis's first preseason win on the road, by defeating Buffalo 19-18. Both Colts back up QB's Scott Tolzein and Stephen Morris combined for 244 yards of Total Offense, and 17 of 32 passes completed, each QB scoring a Colts touchdown.

     

    Indianapolis will next play, and host, the Baltimore Ravens in their home opener and next preseason game next Saturday Night at LOS (the building).  Ravens defeated the Carolina Panthers in their game 22-19 in Baltimore on Thursday Night.

     

    Enjoy your week and Colts fans, and we will see you here next Saturday Night. We will see you here by then, and GO COLTS!!!!  :)    :coltslogo:   :1colts:  :colts:  :coltslogo:  :rock:

  10. Welcome back, Colts fans!  :)  Field conditions certainly should not be an issue tonight as our Indianapolis Colts are in Orchard Park in Western New York state to play the Buffalo Bills in their scheduled second preseason game, but the first real preseason game where all the players and coaches should see and play in game action tonight.  

     

    Though the Colts were prepared to be game ready last Sunday Night to play in the annual Pro Football Hall Of Fame Game last Sunday Night in Canton, Ohio, both the Colts and Packers fortunately by  the priority and concern of player safety, did not play the actual HOF game because of the field conditions at Canton.  Perhaps  the extra week may be a blessing in disguise, as all the players, should be more rested, even anxious, to showcase their talents to the coaches and fans, as they start to earn themselves into the 53-man team roster for the upcoming 16-game regular season.

     

    Retaining both General Manager Ryan Grigson, and Head Coach Chuck Pagano was pivotal and the key factors in the off-season to continue rebuilding and staffing the players for the Colts 2016 team that will try to regain and earn back the AFC South Division title.  Colts finished their 2015 NFL season with an 8-8 record, but with a second place finish in the AFC South, and out of the NFL postseason.

     

    Veteran QB Andrew Luck should be healthy to play  this year, but h, like the rest of the first-string and starting players, are expected to play in limited offensive and defensive series during the preseason, and likely to play most of their game action when the games really count and matter during the Colts 2016 NFL regular season.

     

    Indianapolis though finished their 2015 NFL Preseason with a 1-3 record, their only win a 24-14 road win at the St. Louis Rams back on August 29.

     

    Both Indianapolis and Buffalo played their recent  preseason game and meeting at Lucas Oil Stadium (the building), where the visiting Bills spolied the Colts preseason opener by winning 44-24 back on August 11, 2013.  Buffalo Bills though played their last 'home' game with Indianapolis at a neutral site, winning 34-21 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, played on August 19, 2010.

     

    Colts 2016 NFL Draft Class are expected to play in their first NFL game in Buffalo tonight, featuring and including Center Ryan Kelly from Alabama, T.J.Green, Le'Raven Clark, Hassan Ridgeway, Antonio Morrision, Joe Haeg, Trevor Bates,  and Austin Blythe.

     

    Veteran Colts players who resigned to play this year in the past 2016 NFL off-season includes  Dwayne Allen, Akeem Davis, Jack Doyle, and. Adam Vinatieri.

     

    Colts players who played in 2015, but moved on to play for other teams for the upcoming 2016 NFL season through free agency,  includes Colt Anderson and Dan Herron to Buffalo, Coby Fleener to New Orleans, Jerrell Freeman to Chicago, Dwight Lowery to San Diego, and Billy Winn to Denver.    QB Matt Hasselback also retired, while Ahmad Bradshaw and Charlie Whitehurst have yet to sign with another NFL team.

     

    Indiana Hoosiers broadcaster Don Fischer, and former Northwestern, college and NFL player and coach Rick Venturi, are announcing the live TV game commentary for all Colts preseason games in 2016, on flagship station WXIN FOX Channel 59 in Indianapolis, and the Colts Preseason Television Network.  Tonight's Colts @ Bills preseason game is also scheduled to be replayed on The NFL Network later tonight, and in the coming week.

     

    Bob Lamey, our 'Voice Of The Colts' and former Colts QB Jim Sorgi, along with sideline reporter and interviewer Matt Taylor,are also announcing the live radio game play-by-play and analysis for the Colts 2016 season on simulcast on Colts flagship stations WFNI ESPN Radio 1070AM and 107.5FM,, WHLK Country 97.1FM, and the Colts Radio Network.

     

    Scattered thunderstorms and partly cloudy skies at 78 degrees, feels like 83 degrees,  is the game forecast inside Ralph Wilson Stadium near Buffalo, for the 4:05PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff, along with 55% humidity, 82% precipitation, and southwestern winds at 16 miles per hour.

     

    Colts players are wearing their white helmets and pants and blue jerseys, while the host Bills players are wearing their white helmets, jerseys, and pants on the playing field.

     

    NO injuries to both our Colts and the Bills players, and we wish them all great luck, they impress their coaching staffs, and make through the player cuts throughout 2016 NFL preseason schedule this summer. GO COLTS!!!!!  :)  :coltslogo:   :1colts:  :colts:  :coltslogo:  :rock:

    Better to be safe than sorry for our Colts players and the coaching staff to play in the HOF Game. PFHOF Game is officially cancelled because of the paint above, and the rubber pellets suportting the turf beneath the playing surface.  Player safety and personal well being is paramount and the top priority throughout the(ir) NFL season.

    If there is a compromise, both the Colts and Packers each can prepare for Buffalo and Cleveland respectfully in the first official weekend of the preseason schedule on Friday and Saturday.  Both Indianapolis and Green Bay are each playing four scheduled preseason games with the rest of the NFL teams.

     

    None of the Colts and Packers players avoided potential injuries, and both teams may be both disappointed, but relieved that the HOF was cancelled to prevent further, and even career-ending injury.

     

    Now our Indianapolis Colts can go back and continue their training camp, and prepare for their road game with the Buffalo Bills at Orchard Park, New York.  Thanks for participating though despite the cancelled Pro Football Hall Of Fame Game because of both player safety and the playing conditions.

     

    Enjoy your week in the meantime, we will see you back here on Saturday Night as our Colts will battle the Buffalo Bills, and we should finally see our first look of the rookies drafted in the 2016 NFL Draft, and the signed free agents acquired during this past offseason.

     

    We will see you back here at the Colts Fan Forum Message Board, both here on the Game Day Thread, and on the  live chat, for and during the Colts/Bills preseason game, and GO COLTS!!!!  :)   :coltslogo:  :1colts:   :colts: :helmet:     :coltslogo:

  12. Hi, Colts fans!   :)  NFL Football is finally  back on the playing field tonight as both our Indianapolis Colts play the Green Bay Packers in the annual Pro Football Hall Of Fame Game  at  Canton, Ohio.  Both the Colts and Packers also lead off the 2016 NFL Preseason schedule, and the long 2016 NFL season for the next six months, concluding with Super Bowl LI  at Houston in February.

     

    Both Indianapolis And Green Bay lost their games when each team played the PFHOF Game in Canton Ohio.  Colts are appearing in their first Hall Of Fame Game in nine years, since the Washington Redskins defeated Indianapolis 30-16 at Canton, back on August 3, 2008.  Packers are also appearing in the HOF Game for the first time in 13 years, since the Kansas City Chiefs won in a 9-0 shutout back on August 4, 2003.

     

    Prior to tonight and after four games, the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts HOF exibition record stands at 2 wins and 2 losses at .500, while the Green Bay Packers record is 1 win. 2 losses, and 1 tie.

     

    ESPN is televising the Pro Football Hall Of Game with coverage beginning at 8:00PM Eastern Standard Time.

     

    Mostly cloudy skies at 83 degrees is the game forecast for the 8:05PM kickoff at the Tom Benson Hall Of Fame Stadium in Canton. Ohio.

     

    NO injuries, we will see the Colts and Packers 2016 NFL Draft choices for the first time in game action on the playing field, along with the veterans free agents signed by both the Colts and Packers.  GO COLTS!!!!!    :rock::cheer: :coltslogo:  :1colts: :colts:  :coltslogo:

  13. Hi, Colts fans! :)   When Peyton Manning receives word that he is accepted to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall Of Fame in Canton, Ohio at least five years from now, will he announce if he will retire as an Indianapolis Colt, or a Denver Bronco?  He has helped give both teams and cities Super Bowl Championships, and he has respectable relationships with both Jim Irsay and John Elway, along with Pat Bowlen and his family.  Thanks.  

  14. Hi, Colts fans! Colts finished 8-8. But the personnel and player changes begin as early as Monday and this week. Seems both Ryan Grigson and Chuck Pagano won't be with the team after four seasons as both the Colts General Manager and Head Coach begins in earnest this week, All promotions and deletions from the Colts practice squad, player transactions, signing veteran free agents by mid-March 2016, the 2016 NFL Draft, signing college free agents after the amateur draft, OTA's, and finally, Colts summer training camp by the last week of July 2016, are on the upcoming  off-season agenda.  Let the purge begin, let's see how all the personnel changes play out in the next seven months, and GO COLTS!!!!!

  15. Our Colts finish and conclude their 2015 regular season campaign 8-8, with their 30-24 home win overthe Titans, but took themselves out of  the playoffs with their home loss to the Texans, and are now out of playoff contention. Houston defeated Jacksonville, and claim the 2015 AFC South Division Title, and also finish one game up above the Colts with their 9-7 record.  Colts won't play again until their next game, a preseason game, in August 2016.

  16. Oops! My big bad! I really appreciate the heads up 2006ColtsBestEver, really and sincerely. Just my one track mind typing these GDTs!   Not to confuse anyone here - Titans not Texans. One has it, the other has ex, both too dang similar!  I caught it early though, Thanks! Still, GO COLTS!!!!!

  17. Hi, Colts Nation!  :)  Our  7-8 Indianapolis Colts are still both in the hunt for an NFL postseason playoff spot, and more importantly, a possible AFC South Division title for the fourth regular season in a row, as they host the 3-12 Tennessee Titans also both the Colts regular season and home game finale.              

     

    If the Colts win, there is a 50-50 chance they might be playoff eligible, and finish their season record at 8-8. But that would mean three wins less, and three losses more, since finishing 11-5, and winning the AFC South divisional title the past three seasons.

     

    Colts fate in winning heir regular season finale this  may fall in the responsibility and game performance  of free agent QB's Josh Freeman, and backups Ryan Lindley.   Colts also signed and promoted rookie Stephen Morris from their practice squad. Colts  three incumbent QB's that were on the opening day roster at the beginning of the season,  Andrew Luck, Matt Hasselbeck, and recently acquired David Whitehurst, all all inactive, at least for this afternoon.

     

    A lot of scenarios may happen on Week 17. Colts should focus on their game and task at hand as the play the Titans at LOS. At the same time the Colts will have to hope that the Jaguars, and a few other AFC teams, can help the Colts have a shot at winning the AFC South title for their 2015 NFL season.

     

    Chuck Pagano is also reportedly in his last game as  Head Coach of the Indianapolis Colts, and heading Sunday he owns a 40-23 record.  Pagano deserves credit for taking over after Jim Caldwell,  a Colts team finishing with a 2-14 record, and without the services of Peyton Manning because of his neck surgeries.   

     

    Between the 2012 through 2014 NFL postseasons, the Colts advanced from the AFC Wild Card, Divisional Playoffs, but almost reached the Super Bowl through eventual champion New England Patriots, despite the alleged 'deflategate' scandal.  Current Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Bruce Arians lead the Colts to a 9-3 record between Weeks 5 through 16 of the Colts 2013 NFL regular season, while Coach Pagano's leukemia was on remission.

     

    Indianapolis leads the all-time series over Tennessee with 28 wins and 14 losses after 42 games, including the 1999 AFC Divisional Game, where the Colts lost  16-19, and played at the RCA Dome.  Colts are on a current eight-game losing streak over the Colts, and are 13-1 since December 28, 2008. 

     

    Titans fullback Jalston Fowler scored a touchdown for Tennessee with 47 seconds remaining in regulation, but their two-point run conversion attempt failed, and the Colts were able to hang on to win 35-33, in both teams last meeting last played in Nashville, back on September 27.

     

    Andrew Catalon, former Jaguars, Raiders, and Notre Dame Fighting Irish QB Steve Beuerlein,  and former Buffalo Bills wide receiver and special teamer Steve Tasker, are announcing the live TV game commentary for the NFL On CBS, seen primarily in parts of Illinois, Kentucky, and Mississippi, and all of Tennessee and Indianapolis, including locally on WTTV CBS Channel 4, live on HD. 

     

    Bob Lamey, our 'Voice Of The Colts,' and former Colts QB Jim Sorgi, are also announcing the live game play-by-play and analysis, along with sideline/field reporter Matt Taylor, simulcast live on flagship stations WFNI ESPN SportsRadio 1070AM, and WHLK 'The Hank' Country 97.1FM, and the Colts/Vectren Radio Network.

     

    Visiting Titans are wearing their white helmets, white jerseys and pants with blue and sky blue trim, while the Colts are wearing their white helmets, blue jerseys with white trim, and blue pants.

     

    LOS's roof should be closed for Sunday afternoon's 1:05PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff, because cloudy skies at 31 degrees, feels like 24 degrees, is the game forecast outside the stadium area    in Downtown Indianapolis, along with 0% precipitation, 69% humidity, and north/northwest winds at 8 miles per hour.

     

    I would also like to thank Nadine the webmaster, 21is Superman, ColtsBlueFL, and the rest of the moderators for allowing me to start the Game Day Threads for both the past Colts 2015 preseason and regular season schedule.  I  like to also to give my thanks to all the Colts Fan Forum registered members, users, and the moderators again, along with myself, for participating both the Game Day Threads here on the Colts Fan Forum, and the online chat during Colts game.  I am ever privilaged and grateful and hope I am allowed to continue, with a more talented Colts team on the playing field in 2016!

     

    Let's hope the Colts game with the Titans  won't be their last game of their 2015 NFL season, and advance into their postseason.  NO injuries, thanks for entertaining us on the playing field, and supporting Indianapolis this 2015-16 NFL regular season, and LET'S GO COLTS!!!!!   :coltslogo:   :coltshelmet:   :blueshoe:   :1colts:  :colts:  :coltshorse:  :coltslogo:
