Colts Vs. Vikings Game Day Thread

[LucasOilStadium 612]

Hi, Colts fans! Our Indianapolis Colts will try again to win their first game of the 2012 regular season as they host their second NFL North Interdivisonal opponent in as many games, the Minnesota Vikings in their home opener at LOS. Colts lost to Chicago , while the Vikings defeated Maurice Jones-Drew and Jacksonville in Minneapolis in their games last Sunday. Colts are also facing an opposing star running back today in the Viking's Adrian Peterson, who apparently has recovered from a torn ACL and leg injury he suffered while he and his Vikings were playing a road game at the Redkins last December.

Minnesota is making their first regular season visit to Indianapolis since 2004, besides playing their first game at LOS. Colts have won the last three meetings over the Vikings, and lead the overall regular season series 14 games to 7. Colts defeated the Vikings 31-10 at the RCA Dome on December 24, 2000, 31-28 in the last game the teams played at Indianapolis back on November 8, 2004, and won the recent meeting played at the Metrodome in Minneapolis 18-14, back on September 14, 2008.

Thom Brennaman and former NFL Head Coach Brian Billick will announce the live TV game commentary, along with sideline reporter Laura Okmin, for the NFL On FOX on HD, seen in the Midwest, and north central region of the USA, including locally on WXIN FOX 59 in Indianapolis.

Bob Lamey, our "Voice Of The Colts,' and Will Wolford will also provide the live radio game play-by-play and analysis, along with sideline reporter Kevin Lee, simulcast on Colts flagship stations WFNI ESPN SportsRadio 1070 AM, and WLHK Country 97.1FM, and the Colts/Vectren Radio Network.

LOS's roof may be open for this afternoon's 1:05PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff, because sunny and clear skies at 64 degrees is forecast in Downtown Indianapolis. along with 41% humidity, 0% precipitation, and very mild southeast winds at 4 miles per hour.

Colts will wear their home blue jerseys and white pants, while the visiting Vikings will dress in their matching white jerseys and pants on the field today.

NO injuries to both the Colts and Vikings, and also wish them success to Coach Chuck Pagano, Andrew, and the entire Colts and team supporting staff, great Luck as they start the new regular season home era. GO COLTS!!!

I wonder if anyone keeps track of the number of times the stadium has actually been open since they built it.

[Happy2BeHere 789]

Is this game blacked out?

[21isSuperman 13,708]

This is a game of opportunities. An opportunity to win the first home game, an opportunity to show the league we are a much better team than they think we are, and an opportunity for guys like Jerry Hughes to step up and show what they can do. Let's get it! As always, thanks to LucasOilStadium for making the game day thread! A Colts game wouldn't feel quite the same without all the forum friends discussing it together!

i was trying to get 1070 on the internet and they said due to game being blackout they were not streaming the game. never had a problem last year with this listen on 1070. i live in Baltimore and i don't have cable so i need to use the internet to hear the colts and this is the first time i couldn't get the stream. found another place to list though. what is going on here

[corgi 2,943]

[Jay Roland 74]

[21isSuperman 13,708]

Take away the running game and make Ponder beat us

[corgi 2,943]

I don't like games on FOX....just saying.

[21isSuperman 13,708]

Start by kicking off, I like it

[Poster X 1,093]

Time to pick up the first win, and there is no place like home. At least that is what they say.

[21isSuperman 13,708]

A good matchup will be Hughes/Mathis vs. Kalil

[Poster X 1,093]

Sack by Mathis.

[21isSuperman 13,708]

Mathis!!!

[Nobody 3,243]

Mathis has 3 sacks now.

[NM_Colts 184]

A sack by Mathis

[21isSuperman 13,708]

Brian Billick is awesome

[Poster X 1,093]

Mathis is a monster. I hope the rest of the defense can play with the same intensity.

[ruksak 5,977]

Mathis has 3 sacks now.

*on the season

[Jay Roland 74]

Peterson is getting 5 yds a carry and Havin is killing us on this drive

[21isSuperman 13,708]

BETHEA!!!

[Poster X 1,093]

Bethea is on target today.

[Nobody 3,243]

Bethea!!

[BrentMc11 19,441]

Brian Billick is awesome

Amazed he is not coaching!

[Nobody 3,243]

Are you kidding me?

[ruksak 5,977]

It's nice to see some of the old guard still holding us up. Mathis and Bethea.....but we keep nullifying great defensive plays on the very next snap when they convert.

[Jay Roland 74]

3rd and 11 and we allow 12 yds.

[Captain Americolt 683]

sigh

[corgi 2,943]

Got to stop these guys on third down....
