"Twodays Twosday Twofer":

1. Be honest - are you trying to keep track of our beloved former Colts - Peyton Manning - Jeff Saturday - and - Dallas Clark - this pre-season ??

2. Be honest - is your mind having difficulty watching the Colts and seeing #12 running the offense instead of #18 ??

1. No.What's Done is Done. Can't live in the Past. Yes they all gave us Good Memories, but time to move forward. I do wish all of them Luck with their new locations. And for those who didn't get picked up, I hope they find a new home.

2. No. Change is Good, in certain situations that is lol

1. No because I don't have to actively track down Peyton, ESPN puts it out there

2. Not at all, I thought it would be when the decision was made but no. Luck doesn't even come close to PM when it comes to experience but it's fun seeing him do things Peyton could not.

1. Manning to an extent honestly haven't heard much on Saturday and Clark. Honestly I caught the Ravens game on Fox the other night and saw more and heard more about Painter and Caldwell than anyone else who we released after last season.

2. I miss Manning but I am on board with Luck. Oddly enough it tings more to see Broncos highlights with Manning out there than it does to watch the Colts mostly because I think we have the real deal with Luck. I kinda look at it like with an ex girl friend it hurts more to see her with her new boy friend than when you are with your new girl friend. The Broncos are Peyton's new boy friend so to speak and Luck is the Colts new girl friend so to speak.

1. Watch highlights and read articles...etc..

2. Difficult? Did you find it difficult when you were a wee lil lad in December waiting to see how your Christmas morning was going to turn out? As Colts fans we get atleast (hopefully more) 20 Christmas mornings to be excited about with the difficult days of waiting in between games to watch our team improve and grow stronger than ever before. In the past under Bill Polian every year we got the dreaded "Re-Gift"!! heck ya I'm pumped!! Lets go Colts!!!!!!! Build the Monster!!!!!!!

1. I will always watch Peyton Manning.....have not seen Saturday other than NFLN...and I forgot to watch Dallas.

2. I am so impressed by our young QB, I am enjoying the 'new weaponry' we have on the offense. 2 future Pro-Bowl TEs, speedy receivers....Vick Ballard....and the determination of 12 in so reminiscent of number 18!! Two 80 yard drives after mistakes.....

I'm following Manning very closely, but I haven't paid any attention to any of the others. Other than Saturday (my wife likes the Packers) I couldn't even say where any of them are.

I'm having a little trouble getting used to seeing #18 in another uniform, but I have no difficulty at all watching Luck running the Colts. Heck, we've been "seeing" him in a Colts uniform for nearly a year now. He'd look strange to me in a Stanford jersey.

    • Holy cow!     And then shows he should have been picked top 5 
    • This goes against everything Ballard would do, however it would be something that Irsay would love to do as he is a romantic. Probability is very very low though.
    • This would make us much better and talk about excitement, we really haven't been legit good since 2020 when Rivers surprisingly played good and Taylor was up and coming, + Leonard was a maniac back then. I have had tremendous patience with this team and Ballard. It's time to crap or get off the pot, being average gets old after a while. This fanbase is used to us making the playoffs every year, when it hasn't happened in 3 seasons, time to do something.
