Predictions for tonight?

[Insert Colts Pun Here]

One conservative, one plausible but not certain, one curve ball. Mine are:

 

• We take the lead with our ones on the field but the twos and threes give it up again (though i think we will see improvement from them).
• T.Y Hilton goes for 100 yards and 2 TDs.
• Robert Mathis performs his new practice move, embarrasses the Giants tackle and sacks Eli.

This is the move, in case you didn't catch the original thread the other day: http://www.colts.com/media-center/videos/Training-Camp-Daily-Recap-08-14-2013/b356dac2-4f59-400e-9783-0267a01844de

I think the colts take the lead and this time everyone plays better anything different tonight is different than how they lost last week.

I predict that before the game gets to halftime some (fill in the appropriate adjective) poster will start a thread complaining about the Oline and Dline.

Well that's obviously going to happen so that's your conservative pick. What about the other two?

My plausible is that after getting reamed by Mr. Irsay, we'll actually game plan in the first half. Not necessary in the preseason IMHO.

Curve ball? Vaughn will blanket Cruz.

[IndyTrav]

My prediction.

The starters play for a little bit....then the 2nd stringers....finally our 3rd string will come in and finish the game....

[pgt_rob]

A strong first half after coming off the loss to the Bills, but will lose on the road by a close game.

[ar1888]

I predict win or lose we wont remember this meaningless game in a few weeks.

[TKnight24]

Conservative: Colts win 24-17

Plausible: The 1st round pick Werner makes himself known tonight

Curve: Darius Butler has a pick 6 tonight

[FicmanS]

I want to see this defense come to the game, if they don't make a statement tonight I am afraid we're in for a long year...

 

SO many guys last week just looked lost, like it was their first time on the field...

 

Offense I expect will click a little better tonight, I'd like to see DHB do something this week.

1st team defense didn't allow a touchdown. 3rd team was the bad defense. And most of those guys won't be on the 53 so yeah

[Hoosier]

Any idea on how long we'll see the starters tonight?

Save your breath. There will still be some who care about winning the game, and don't get that the preseason is about evaluating players since its now almost impossible to do that in camp with the new rules.

Like you said, the 1st team is all we care about for TEAM play. After that it's strictly personnel auditions.

Hurrah! We finally have a poster who managed to follow the rules and made three picks!

 

I wasn't sure if Werner would play tonight. I hope we get to see a little of what he can bring.

An outrageous assertion!

Just was pointing it out. 1st team on both sides did well. Both had 2 plays That were mistakes but overall I was impressed & proud of our 1st team

2 Mistakes on defense: The 2 CJ Spiller runs

2 Mistakes on offense: Snap count mess up/sack & the Fleener fumble

Despite those plays we still jumped out to a 10-3 lead so that was a good thing. Tonight we get to see more of the starters so it should be interesting

[MB-ColtsFan]

-Luck hits 4 different receivers before his work is done and we have rhe lead.

-We actually show a commitment to the running game with the 1's and 2's

-Link gets a pancake on Tuck

Good one (3)!

I've got a feeling that we're going to show the same committment to the run that George Clooney shows to marriage.

[markabrown96]

DHB makes a nice leaping catch. Andrew Luck executes the 2 min drill to perfection. Werner makes a sack fumble

[GoColts8818]

The forum goes into meltdown mood when Painter completes a pass vs our defense.

[The Fish]

Luck puts the ball in the air 15 or so times, I get bored watching the 3rd stringers and proceed to drink beer and noodle on my guitar.

[coltsfansince65]

Conservative: Ones play longer than the 1st game. Look much better & DHB gets a TD.

Plausable: STs still long horrible

Curve: Vaughn gets a pick.

[Ja'Crispy]

I predict that nobody will call this the "Curtis Painter Revenge Game" during the broadcast. Let's just stay healthy and play a more competitive game than last week.

[coltsfanatic24]

I think DHB will have a great game 5 catches, 85 yards, TD. Werner sacks Eli and Davis gets an INT. Colts win 27 - 21.

[basketballsteve]

Special teams get crushed again

[GoodLuck]

I dont think Luck can make the throws at night in the Northeast, in an outdoor stadium. He looked like Tim Tebow last yr @ NYJ. I'm interested to see him in this environment. I hope he proves me wrong.

[Nedy]

Is Landry playing tonight? I read somewhere that he wasn't, but I want to make sure. I just want to see him make his Colts debut.

[colts 101]

I predict 2nd and 3rd string receivers will catch more passes, and ball runners will run more yards!

[Smonroe]

He's out again.  Griff, Bradshaw, Lefeged, Fili, Angerer, among others.

[weslo1812]

I think we fall 28-17. I think the Giants are just gonna be ready to go and its at their place. I think our first stringers will do better on both sides and it will be close through the first half. But I think the Giants pull away.

[Stephen]

chuck said 25 to 30 snaps

[Stephen]

Painter throws a pick 6 or fumbles.

Some of the 3rd string even played well.  The ones that really looked lost were our 4th and lower string DB's...well and Vaughn/Gordy too but only because they were going up against the Bills' first team receivers.  Swanson, Green, and Price looked lost.  Allen Chapman is the only one that I was somewhat impressed with.  Rayford and Loiseau had their moments but also made a couple of nice plays.  Kellen Heard didn't really do anything special but I wouldn't say he was bad.

Something magic about night games in the NE? Darn, I guess there's no hope if we make it to the SB.
