Colts Vs. Bengals Preseason Game Night Thread

[LucasOilStadium]

Hi, Colts fans! Our Indianapolis Colts conclude their preseason hosting the Cincinnati Bengals at LOS. :bengals: A win by the Colts would finish both Indianapolis and Cincinnati's preseason at 2-2.

Colts the the Bengals in the last preseason meeting between the teams 17-13 at Paul Brown Stadium on September 1, 2011, their only win in the 2011 preseason. Indianapolis went back to Cincinnati in Week 6 of the regular season, and the Bengals avenged the preseason loss when they defeated the Colts, without Peyton Manning, 27-17, on October 16. Bengals lead the all-time preseason series (and Interstate 74 rivalry between the cities) 13-7 entering tonight.

Andrew Luck, and the starting offense and defense units of both the Colts and Bengals probably will sit out on tonight's preseason finale. Many of the reserve players, rookies, and veterans and free agents signed during the off-season are on the bubble as all NFL rosters must be reduced from the present 75 man, to the final 53-man regular season roster by Friday Night.

NO injuries to both the Colts and Bengals in their preseason finale tonight, and GO COLTS!!!

Once again, thanks to Lucas Oil Stadium for setting us fans up for a day/afternoon/night of Colt's football!!!! Nobody does it better IMO!!!

While this game might not be a thriller, (maybe a snoozer) it will make or break a lot of player's dreams. Over 700 players will be unemployed after the next rounds of cuts. As hard as our young team has played, this is a final opportunity to make a difference in a game setting.

I am going to miss this thread tonight....other than an occasional check in. I am watching the game with my fiance that really loves the Colts and wants to learn football.....

So instead of my 'nutty' game day antics here....I will be pointing out the nuances of the game to the one I love....may have to give y'all some likes at halftime.

A big thank you again to LOS for getting us 'pumped up' each and every week. GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Coltswarriors]

Go Colts! :shoe: :throwback:

[ColtsBlueFL]

Good luck too all of those playing for a spot on the roster. And, an early congrats to those that make the 53 man roster, and also those who make the practice squad.

lamey said vontae isn't going to play, but wasn't certain

[BrentMc11]

Enjoy the game guys and gals...Have a sick young lady to see to!! Pagano said we will see a lot of Stanton tonight. Expect starters ONLY a couple of series....He said cuts: "It is the toughest part of the job, " and they need to leave everything on the field" to make the the roster....or not. Good night and enjoy!! Go Colts! I will miss everyone's insight!!! :coltslogo:

[21isSuperman]

It seems like every year we have a preseason game against the Bengals

[21isSuperman]

Olsen and Link both should not be starters in this league

[mystrymaster]

Of course the only game having technical issues on Direct TV is the Colt Game!

[21isSuperman]

Good recognition by Hickman on that play

[Nobody]

Pathetic D.

[21isSuperman]

Addison and Mathis getting some good pressure. I think Dalton's hurt

[buccolts]

Of course the only game having technical issues on Direct TV is the Colt Game!

I didn't know preseason games were on DirecTV.

What channel?

[21isSuperman]

Pathetic D.

I think they're gonna take it easy this game so as to prevent any more injuries. I think they said Mathis has a shoulder problem, Powers has knee issues, etc.

Yeah it sucks our defense is broken! So many darn injuries. Colts just have severely bad luck with injuries..

[21isSuperman]

Bethea - the one guy you can always count on in our secondary

[21isSuperman]

Yeah it sucks our defense is broken! So many darn injuries. Colts just have severely bad luck with injuries..

It seems like we always do

[21isSuperman]

And Luck is outta there

[Nobody]

Ballard is a manbeast. Not that run specifically, obviously. EDIT: Nvm, that run was great. The flag means nothing, we know Ballard still made the play.

[21isSuperman]

Nice throw by Stanton!

[CantBeStopped]

Whats score im in class and cant watch game?

[21isSuperman]

Ballard is a manbeast. Not that run specifically, obviously.

But that run for sure!

[21isSuperman]

Whats score im in class and cant watch game?

3-0 Bengals

[mystrymaster]

What channel?

The online application, they are using it as a stress test and so far it is failing.

[21isSuperman]

There should have been a false start on their RT on that play

[mystrymaster]

Wow Stanton done already as well.

[21isSuperman]

I got Houston right on that question

[mystrymaster]

Did the Bengals announcer just say Chris Rucker?

[buccolts]

Got it.

Thanks.

[Shepman]

Interesting I do not see Freeney anywhere and I am sitting on the Colts side.

[Nobody]

The flag may have negated it, but that was a nice pass break up by Gordy. Too many offsides penalties. It's the preseason, let these guys play.

[Gavin]

Gordy has looked silly when hes been out there more often then not especially on that touchdown he gave up

[grmasterb]

Gordy looks terrible.

[Fatboyslim11]

Josh Gordy looks like toast. He is making it easy to be the next DB cut.

[Nobody]

Not really. He has impressed me. Inconsistent, but he looks like a good nickel back.

[Gonzo]

Did Vontae Davis play any snaps?
