Colts @ Patriots Game Day Thread

[LucasOilStadium]

Hi, Colts fans! Our Colts are in Foxborough, Massachusetts to play Tom Brady, and the AFC East leading New England Patriots. Pats have the top offense in the AFC, and the Colts defense will try to sustain it if they have a chance to pull the upset and win today's game on the road.

Dan Orlovsky will start for the Colts today at QB, his first start since he was a member of the 2008 Detroit Lions, that finished that season 0-16. Orlovsky might also be in the position to play for two teams that played winless in separate seasons, unless the Colts can break the streak, and win at least one game in 2011.

Patriots currently lead the all-time regular season series over the Colts 43-28 entering today. Colts lost to the Patriots in the recent visit to Gillette Stadium 31-28 back on November 21,, 2010. Colts last win in the rivalry was two seasons ago when they defeated New England 35-34 at LOS back on November 15, 2009.

Marv Albert and Rich Gannon will announce the live TV commentary for the NFL On CBS, seen regionally, primarilly in the northeast and Indiana, including WISH CBS 8 in Indianapolis, WEVV CBS 44 in Evansville, WANE CBS 15 in Fort Wayne, and WTHI CBS 10 in Terre Haute, all on HD.

Bob Lamey, our 'Voice Of The Colts,' and Wil Wolford will also announce the live radio game commentary, along with sideline reporter Kevin Lee, simulcast on Colts flagship stations WFNI ESPN SportsRadio 1070AM, WLHK Country 97.1FM, and the Colts Radio Network.

Local weather forecast for this afternoon's 4:05PM kickoff at Gillette Stadium is Clear and Partly Cloudy Skies at 52 degrees, feels like 49 degrees, 10% precipitation, 61% humidity, and south/southwest winds at 8 miles per hour.

Colts will dress in the matching road white jerseys and pants, while the host Patriots will dress in their home navy blue jerseys, and silver pants.

NO injuries to our Colts players, as they continue their diligence to win their first game of the season on the road in 2011, and also upset the Patriots. GO COLTS!!!!!

hope for at least a competitive game :smile:

[Susie Q]

Hoping for an injury free game for the Colts and that Freeney and Mathis get a lot of pressure on Brady all day long. Also hoping that Orlovsky doesn't get injured and we would have to see Painter again. rotfl Still hoping for a miracle and on any given Sunday anything can happen.

[coltsbj]

i believe thiis is going to be a very close and competative game right up until THE KICK OFF! Brady 4 td. 400 plus yards Green Ellis100 yards rushing 2 td def 2 pics 3 turnovers over all. Final Score 45-10

[coltsbj]

Lets face it the front office stinks the coach blows the players have no heart its a one man team. as they say theres no i in team.when Brady

went down in 2008 the pats went 11-5 thats a team playing the game the way it should be played not pineing away that u lost your starter.

heck 11-5 that better than the colts lasts years record with Manning. The colts are done Mannings done. time to start rebuilding maybe in two or three years who knows

[Susie Q]

[Coltswarriors]

Hope to at least keep it somewhat close. Go Colts!

[Coltssouth]

Ron Winters officiating.

[Jay Roland]

Another 3 and out. We have to lead the league in 3 and outs

[Jay Roland]

slight victory held them to 3 pts.

[shaunikko]

we keep putting ourselves in these 3rd and long situations by running the ball with long yardage to the first down

[shaunikko]

Orlovsky is sharp so far.....

[Coltssouth]

Triplets!!

[Coltssouth]

Moving down the field! Another first down.

[Jay Roland]

good drive so far

[Jay Roland]

handoff way to deep in the backfield

[shaunikko]

Wow, good drive, impressive play calling by coaches and movement by Orlovsky

[Andy]

what an incredible start!

[Malakai432]

Definitely great start hopefully they can get this TD..

[Jay Roland]

What is going on that was a wasted TO they stood around like they didn't know what was going on.

[Malakai432]

Good job #69

[Malakai432]

That's so frustrating that :*: got a penalty call which ruined a great drive..

[Jay Roland]

Like i said wasted TO

[Andy]

darn, we were so clsoe there

[Jay Roland]

go from 3rd and goal at 1 to lose yds back beyond the 10

[Jay Roland]

4 lost pts. there on our longest drive of the season

[Jay Roland]

That TO cost us if we would have just ran a play i think we would have had 7

[Malakai432]

Ah, Rucker almost with an INT great awareness by Branch to save the INT.

[uniquicity]

A punt return? Whatever next

[Curveball]

Best punt return of the season.

[NYColt]

I'm almost surprised they didn't go for it on 4th down just to show us their complete lack of respect for this team.

[Jay Roland]

he was down we dodge a bullet there

[shaunikko]

things are looking beautiful on both sides of the ball

[Andy]

who would have expected this start! Nice job Lacey!

[Basilmi]

Why don't we EVER jam receivers.

[Basilmi]

What on earth are these corners doing?

[Malakai432]

Freeny &/or Mathis need to get to Brady..

[luvdacolts67]

Unbelievable begining.

[Malakai432]

Ridiculous that they picked up that 3rd and long...

[Jay Roland]

that was his 3 straight catch onb this drive and he was wide open at least the last two catches
