Hi, Colts fans! Veteran backup QB Curtis Painter earns his first career start, as the Colts are in Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers for the first time in eight years. Colts are trying to avoid an 0-4 start this season, and are also making their second appearance in primetime national television in as many weeks, tonight on ESPN's Monday Night Football.

Colts return to Tampa where, through Peyton Manning's leadership, set the NFL record for quickest comeback in NFL history, scoring three touchdowns within the last five minuites of regulation, and winning in overtime 38-35 with Mike Vanderjagt's FG back on October 6, 2003. Both the Colts and Buccaneers are meeting for the 12th time during the NFL regular season tonight, with the Colts leading the all-time series 7-4, and 3-2 in Tampa.

Colts also defeated the Buccaneers in their recent meeting three years ago at the RCA Dome 33-14 back on October 7, 2007, despite Marvin Harrison and Joseph Addai not playing due to their injuries.

Mike Tirico, Jon Gruden, and Ron Jaworski will announce the live TV game commentary along with sideline reporter Wendi Nix for ESPN's Monday Night Football on HD. Bob Lamey, Wil Wolford, will also announce the live radio game commentary along with sideline reporter Kevin Lee simulcast on flagship stations WFNI ESPN Radio 1070AM and WHNK Country 98.1FM, and the Colts Radio Network.

Local weather forecast at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa for tonight's 8:30PM kickoff is clear evening skies at 78 degrees, feels like 76 degrees, 0% precipitiation, 53% humidity, and mild northern winds at 8 miles per hour.

Visiting Colts tonight may wear their matching white road jerseys and pants, while the host Buccaneers will wear their red home jerseys, and pewter pants.

All NFL teams, including both the Colts and Buccaneers tonight, are wearing pink NFL equipment and apparel throughout thr month of October both on the field, and in their sidelines during tonight's game, to traditionally recognize the NFL's support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

I wish the Colts no injuries, and execute their game plan successfully on offense, defense, and special teams. Please prevail for your first win for yourselves, and your fans back in Indiana, and GO COLTS!!!!!

      https://www.nfl.com/news/bill-tobin-longtime-nfl-executive-dies-at-age-83   He drafted some all time great players like Harrison, and of course is famous for his verbal match with Mel Kiper. RIP!

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Then begs the question. Do u want to say draft a MJH at 4 and turn around in 4 years or would u say draft Turner and pay him 30mill in 4 years? All day every day for the franchise rush end. I am not a big believer in 30 mill for a wr. Reid is a fantastic coach and look what he did with Hill.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By richard pallo · Posted

      Funny you brought this up.  I just listened to an interview Ballard did today with Rich Eisen.  He asked him if he has given any thought on how many quarterbacks will be taken before our pick and how many does he think.  He said sure we go through those evaluations.  It helps us with for planning purposes.  He asked him how many.  4 or 5 or 6?   He laughed out loud at 6.  He said Rich if it’s 6 we will be so excited.  Let’s hope so.  He also said the draft board is not yet set.  Won’t be until the night before the draft.  He also said he has had multiple conversations with other GM’s concerning the draft.  Preparing themselves for opportunities that could take place.  And they will continue up until the draft starts.  He said trade conversations won’t really materialize until you are within three picks of any trade.  Giving you time to finalize it.  Interesting interview.  Oh he pretty much ruled out moving up for Harrison.   Going up into the top of the draft would be very costly for him he said.  Thinks he’s a great talent but he thinks he’s pretty much out of our reach.
