I'm definitely watching the game. Should be interesting to watch Andrew Luck and Justin Blackmon perform.

[Bleedin Blue]

I for one will be watching...

[Captain Americolt]

Definitely going to watch.

[Case]

Let's go luck!!!

[Blackhawk4]

Not a good start for Stanford on offense..Missed Field goal, bad pass protection leads to Luck getting sacked and going 3 and out just now.

[Case]

Great d by Stanford

[MTC]

Luck has great accuracy. The offensive line has been playing good so far

[Case]

What a beautiful pass.

[Blackhawk4]

That was a beautiful bomb by Luck there...That ball was perfect

[MTC]

Good job Luck. Beautiful pass there and give credit to Montgomery on the TD!

[Case]

Bad pass. He would like to háve that back

[MTC]

Luck threw an interception.. :slaphead:

[MTC]

Coby Fleener is such a good blocker. If he is their in the 4th round, I'd totally draft him.

[Blackhawk4]

Very good run by Stewart there.

[Case]

Blackmon is killing it

[Case]

That throw was sexy. Nice pump fake too

[hockey878]

Blackmon is a monster. If we had ended up with the 3rd pick it would be tough to pass on him. as i type this i realize it is a very dumb hypothetical. in any case..... hes a beast

[TheMarine]

Luck does look like Manning out there as far as changing the play at the line. And his passes have had good enough zip and GREAT touch allllll night long

this last play he read three recievers... very nice

If u were to put him in a manning jersey in a colts game u would think its manning

[ConBro]

TOUCHDOWN!!!

[ConBro]

LOL its good to have a "game thread" to post in again

[TheMarine]

The way Luck is playing and commanding the offense thus far in this game, should give us plenty to cheer about

I really like how he influences the defense with his eyes and how Stanford gives him 3 plays. He's ready

[CR91]

love what im seeing. get that number 12 luck colt jersey ready irsay

[ConBro]

love what im seeing. get that number 12 luck colt jersey ready irsay

[Dustin]

Great d by Stanford

Spoke to soon.

[Case]

Spoke to soon.

I was talking about that interception

[TheMarine]

Yeah hasnt Stanford seen what giving an elite WR a 5-10 yard cushion in short yard situations does? Colts have gotten BURNED all year by that on 3 and... well, ok, bad example... We'd give a 10 yard cushion if they needed a half yard...

[MTC]

Im gonna stop watching after halftime. Good game so far by both teams.

[19colt]

Draft BLACKMON guy is a freak

[CR91]

Draft BLACKMON guy is a freak

with the first pick? and over luck? you have lost it my friend

[Colts20593]

Luck has made some pretty sweet throws.

[Dustin]

Draft BLACKMON guy is a freak

I will in my fantasy draft. But not until round 6 or 7 at the max.

[19colt]

with the first pick? and over luck? you have lost it my friend

Trade with Browns or Redskins and take Blackmon.

[Dustin]

Trade with Browns or Redskins and take Blackmon.

Trade them what?

[Case]

Trade with Browns or Redskins and take Blackmon.

No way. Who's going to throw to Blackmon if manning can't play, is traded, or gets hurt. Stupid to buy bullets with no gun

[19colt]

Trade them what?

Trade down.

[19colt]

No way. Who's going to throw to Blackmon if manning can't play, is traded, or gets hurt. Stupid to buy bullets with no gun

You do realize Manning could have played the last two games.

[TheMarine]

Out of the 4 games this season Ive gotten to watch A. Luck play, these things have been consistant:

1: Influences the D w/ his eyes

2: Able to make multiple reads of the defense in relation to his WR/TEs

3: Can adjust plays at the line of scrimage

4: Has shown just enough arm strength, with more than enough anticipation of where his recievers are going to be

5: Extremely athletic, both in and out of the pocket

Some negatives:

At times has lost the internal clock as to when to get rid of the ball

Needs to slide when running down the field and about to be hit

While very accurate does sometimes force the ball in dissapearing windows

That being said...

Draft him #1 overall, and lock the Colts into possibly 25-30 years of elite QB play
