Colts Vs. Buccaneers Game Day Thread

[LucasOilStadium 608]

Thanks for coming back for NFL Game Day, Colts Nation!        A battle of 5-5 teams this afternoon, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with #1 2015 Overall Draft Pick Jameis Winston,  make their  first  visit to the City Of Indianapolis, to pay a regular season game in eight seasons to play our AFC South Division leading  Colts. Buccaneers are also  the Colts last NFC South interdivisonal opponent  in the 2015 NFL regular season, and the Bucs are playing their first-ever road game at Lucas Oil Stadium (the building).

 

Colts QB Matt Hasselbeck is making his fourth start in relief of Andrew Luck, and already possesses a 3-0 record from their upset win at Atlanta last Sunday.

 

Both Indianapolis  and Tampa Bay are in their 13th all time regular season meeting, with the Colts leading the series 7 games to 5, and have also outscored the Bucs in the previous 12 games 311 points to 265 points.  

 

Buccaneers RB LaGarette Blount's 35-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, broke a 17-17 tie in the third quarter, and was the game-winning score, for Tampa Bay's 24-17 win over Indianapolis in both teams last meeting, played  at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, on Monday Night Football, back on October 3, 2011.

 

An undefeated and 5-0 Indianapolis Colts team defeated the 3-2 Buccaneers in Tampa Bay's last visit to Indianapolis in 2007. Peyton Manning thew two touchdowns passes, 10-yards to Dallas Clark, and 9-yards to Reggie Wayne. Colts RB Kenton Keith also added a 7-yard touchdown run, and Adam Vinetieri added both his two field goals from 27 and 35 yards, and his two PAT's,  to secure the Colts final score at 33-14, played at the RCA Dome, back on October, 7, 2007.

 

Richard Stockton and former NFL linebacker and current TV broadcaster Matt Millen, along with sideline/field reporter and interviewer Peter Schrager, are announcing the live TV game commentary, along for The NFL On FOX, seen primarily in Indiana and Florida, and locally on WXIN FOX Channel 59, live on HD.  

 

Bob Lamey, our 'Voice Of The Colts,' and former Colts QB Jim Sorgi, are also announcing the live radio game play-by-play and analysis, along with sideline/field reporter and interviewer Matt Taylor, simulcast on flagship stations WFNI ESPN SportsRadio 1070AM, and WLHK The Hank Country 98.1FM, and the Colts/Vectren Radio Network.

 

LOS's roof will be closed, for this afternoon's 1:05PM Eastern Standard Time kickoff, because outside the stadium area in Downtown Indianapolis, will be a mix of partly cloudy and clear skies at 46 degrees, feels like 41 degrees, along with 0% precipitation, 55% humidity, and northeastern winds at 10 miles per hour.  

 

Visiting Buccaneers are wearing their pewter helmets, white jerseys, and pewter pants, while the host Colts are wearing their traditional white helmets, blue jerseys, and white pants. 

 

NO injuries, go over.500, and win your sixth straight, and stay both in the hunt in the AFC South and the NFL playoffs, and GO COLTS!!!!!

[2006Coltsbestever 23,891]

Thanks LOS. I will pick the Colts 20-16, I had it 17-16 prior to today but I think we win by more than a FG. @Shakedown, yes open that roof!

[ColtRider 1,311]

Contain RB Doug Martin. Winston is enough to worry about. Can't afford a 200 yard day. This should be a close one. But I hope we run away with it.

[SteelCityColt 7,940]

Afternoon all.. blustery cold wet miserable day here... Looking forward to my few hours of escapism with watching the Colts.

 

Best get me a W now guys

What's up Steel. Yeah it's been raining here too and cold. It's clear today and not too bad but Friday and yesterday was a bit chilly and rain. I wish we could just run away with this like ColtRider stated. These close games are killing me .

When have the Colts ever given us nice easy blowouts since the start of the Luck era?

Seems like never, great point. It's been a fun 4 years but only because we usually win but it's been tough on the stomach and heart LOL.

[basketballsteve 325]

98 is coming on....you can see it bit by bit, he is so close so often, and today he plays vintage and wrecks the Bucs chances with a game changing play.....

After seeing the Philly D on TD the TB O could be overrated

14+ point losses are blowouts in the NFL to me. Colts have had wins of 14+ points 14 times since Luck was drafted out of his 61 starts including playoffs....23 percent of his starts

Yeah but how about the numerous comebacks we have had to pull off with Andrew, very nerve racking. We haven't won a game this year by more than 7 points.

It's closed. Believe 50 at kickoff is the cut off, but yeah, why not. Football weather.

Colts Inactives: 12 Luck 15 Dorsett 29 Adams 51 Moore 74 Castonzo 79 Herremans 92 Werner

[Colt^2 28]

Lol Herremans is still benched. Glad it seems like we're keeping the interior OL intact against McCoy. Looks like Good gets the nod at right tackle.

[CR91 9,096]

why does moore keep getting inactived compared to adongo?

[21isSuperman 13,570]

Luck, Dorsett, Castonzo, Werner.  That's 4 first round picks that are inactive.

 

The league's oldest starting QB meets the league's youngest.  Let's get the W and keep Hasselbeck undefeated on the year!
