Game Thread W1 - Indianapolis V NY Giants (1 Viewer)

[Andy Hicks]

Welcome to the start of the 2006 season.

Once the game kicks off this thread will be pinned, but for now it will run on its own merits.

Please provide your thoughts, pre, during and after the game.

Remember that not everyone will be watching this game, so if you could provide detailed analysis it would be much appreciated.

Things like 'Go Reggie' aren't what we are looking for.

Why will team X win?

Who is the QB targetting?

How are the lines looking?

Who's running the ball well?

Who looks in over his head?

Who's injured (also reference this in the injury thread which will be created once the sunday games are live)

Anything that you think will be of benefit to someone not watching the game or who doesn't care about your fantasy team.

Post game analysis, in particular is what we want to see.

Go for it

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

I wonder if NBC plans on playing up the fact that Eli and Peyton are brothers?

 

[broncofan13000]

i'm not digging the intro

 

[RoarinSonoran]

Pink is no Hank Williams Jr.

Who?

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Pink is no Hank Williams Jr.

She is twice the man he is.

 

[ffball-novice]

Pink is no Hank Williams Jr.

NBC has the worst production value seen for pro football.

 

[falconeyed]

Pink is no Hank Williams Jr.

But she's a hell of a lot better looking than Hank. My call: Giants 20, Colts 17. The Colts have problems with the ground game and the Giants play ball control.

 

[MeVsMaradona]

This game will make or break my week.

 

[Kleck.]

Pink is no Hank Williams Jr.

I don't care much for any football song intro, but I'd love to party with Pink.

How does the NFL determine its scheduling? If any team deserves an away game to start the season, it is the Giants.

Give me a break look at our schedule.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Damn that girl could sing. The Mara family has it going on all over tthe generations.

probably has something to do with Sept 11th.

Tough, I'm sure, but is their any logic to the decision making or is it completely random?

 

[Sweeper]

Who's the hot blonde next to Mom Manning? Sister or wife of one of Eli/Peyton?

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

Damn that girl could sing. The Mara family has it going on all over tthe generations.

Agreed - I love the anthem sung like that: find a beautiful voice and simply sing it straightforward.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Ahh, there's the Giants tackling skills that I love to see.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Lavar Arrington is a nut.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Manning is such a quick decision maker.

The NFL seems to be much more TV conscience then it always has been. I would likely bet that this Sunday night game has a lot to do with 9/11. I also think that the opponent (Colts) was picked and set up as a Manning/Manning game since it was scheduled. This does seem to be an important season for the NFL with the new programing set up and scheduling of games and when they are aired.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Osi almost kills Peyton. Decides to fall down instead. Harrison catches a 7 yard out.

 

[Kleck.]

Lavar Arrington is a nut.

Did I hear him correctly, "Mr. Nickles... School of hard knox?"

 

[falconeyed]

No rushing attempts out of the Colts so far.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Nice spin by Rhodes.

 

[joffer]

nice run on 3rd and 1 by Rhodes

 

[Sweeper]

Lavar Arrington is a nut.

Did I hear him correctly, "Mr. Nickles... School of hard knox?"

 

[Arnold. S]

for Rhodes so far for making positive yardage outta nothing

 

[TitusIII]

Here's to the Colts getting lit tonight

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Fred, Peyton. Peyton, grass.

nice.

 

[RoarinSonoran]

Pink is no Hank Williams Jr.

I don't care much for any football song intro, but I'd love to party with Pink.

1. MNF Theme (duh du du duuuuh).................................................Unranked: Hank Williams Jr (Are you ready for some football)Unranked: Pink (I waited all day for Sunday night --- wtf?)

 

[bobspruill]

Nice pressure by the Giants up front, but so far the Colts are handling it...barely.

 

[broncofan13000]

Rhodes is gonna see alot of touches this year.

edit to add:

Addai out there now, and a nice run.

 

[TitusIII]

The Addai era begins in style..

 

[Arnold. S]

ADDAI baby, nice finish on the run

 

[cantrell]

Great run by Addai.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Joseph Addai just beat Gibril Wilson like a crack whore.

 

[joffer]

the Colts ran so much better to the left in the preaseason than to the right, looks the same tonight.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Michael Strahan sticks up for his DB on the next play. Gibbril still looking for his manhood.

 

[Wheelhouse]

a little slant to Marvin would be great right here.

 

[Sweeper]

The Colts, very quietly made it to the red zone.

3rd and goal. Lets see if they make it.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Should've been an INT.

 

[cantrell]

Peyton got lucky on that one.

 

[Wheelhouse]

OK, so who's their kicker now?? IS AV still out?

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

That's gonna cost the Giants.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

How much does it piss me off that the Colts just ran 9 plays and Marvin only saw 2 looks, 1 catch, and 9 yards?

Guess.

Go ahead.

 

[falconeyed]

Colts got lucky there ... dropped pick to Butler.

 

[cantrell]

Adam-matic.

 

[bobspruill]

Should've been an INT.

Just didn't see him...not the kind of mistake you expect Peyton to make. He looked a little anxious there.

 

[⚡DEADHEAD⚡]

Dallas Clark in the game?
