opening drives

[ColtsFanMikeC]

We have scored on all three of our opening drives so far this season, which is excellent.

 

In our 2 wins, Luck has been perfect at the beginning of the game (5-5 on opening drive and 11-11 to start game vs. OAK and today was 5-5 on opening drive and 6-6 to start the game).

 

I like to see this a lot -- I think it is a result of our balanced offense and sound game-planning.

 

I don't know if there is any record or what has been done in the past by other teams or the Colts, but that would be nice to see the Colts score on every opening drive this season.

 

 

*** I stand corrected by Boiler_Colt -- AV missed a 52 yarder to start vs. Miami and then hit a 30 yarder on the 2nd drive.

 

We are 2-0 when Luck is perfect on the first drive and it results in a TD.

We didn't score on our opening drive vs. Miami did we? Regardless, I agree good game planning at the start, but we needed to show some adaptability in those first two games. I think it really shows the work Luck puts in preparation in practice and the film room.

Vinatieri hit a 52 yard field goal to start Miami game.

Vinatieri hit a 52 yard field goal to start Miami game.

Could have sworn that was the one he missed.

Could have sworn that was the one he missed.

I stand corrected... he did miss that and then connected on his second kick on our 2nd drive.

I just wish we could be more consistent in repeating drives like those throughout the ball game.  We'll start out on fire and then go cold for a while and then heat up again.  We'll get there I think!
