[Andy Hicks]

This will be pinned once the game starts

 

[MrPhoenix]

DirecTV says I'll get Colts/Rams, but instead, I have Patriots/Buccaneers.

Edit: Oh, they're showing the London festivities.

 

[MCguidance]

Jax hitting pay dirt 2+ times today

 

[duece2626]

James Butler playing?

 

[MCguidance]

No idea, havent been watching that closely.

IND right down the field though.

 

[lyon812]

Butler's back, but Manning is completing passes at will, which he won't help with. =p

 

[MrPhoenix]

Manning is completing passes at will

I wouldn't mind that so much if he were throwing to Collie.

 

[ffball-novice]

He tried to get Collie for TD but fell down.

Well, Collie had a red zone look, but incidental contact made him fall down way before he finished the route. That's something for you. =)The Rams had decent coverage on a number of the completions, but Manning put it right where it needed to be.

 

[MCguidance]

STL red zone play calling is ####### awful. That being said, Carter needs to catch that ball.

 

[lyon812]

I'm glad Amendola's being useful. I was rooting for him after the Cowboys' Hard Knocks season.

Hey, long pass to Avery! On the flea-flicker! Wtf.

 

[lyon812]

Yeah, Carter needs to catch that. I woulda liked to see them try to get the ball to Jackson.

 

[footballguy#1]

Wayne is a machine.

 

[jcole76]

Anyone have a link to watch online?

 

[jon_mx]

Looks like this Peyton kid could be a great waiver wire pickup....

 

[lyon812]

Touchdown Clark, beautiful throw and catch in stride right over a defender. Man.

 

[MCguidance]

Sjax being "looked at" on the sideline. Ugh.

 

[lyon812]

If nothing else, it's nice to see the Rams not just three-and-out as much during the last couple of games. Now they just need to not drop passes.

 

[Knobs]

Sjax being "looked at" on the sideline. Ugh.

Update?

 

[MCguidance]

Sjax being "looked at" on the sideline. Ugh.

Update?

Cant be sure, but I think I saw him in (switching back and forth on my computer Superfan), sorry.

 

[ffball-novice]

Sjax being "looked at" on the sideline. Ugh.

Update?

He was in and rushed for 3 yards on the next series, a 3 and out.

 

[bahamallama]

Donald Brown 1-45, I know let's not give him the ball anymore!!!!

I just don't understand why they won't use this kid more.

Thanks, man. I get ADD and change the channel.

 

[lyon812]

Donald Brown 1-45, I know let's not give him the ball anymore!!!!I just don't understand why they won't use this kid more.

The Colts like the rotation, and both backs have produced about the same. In order to bust out of the rotation, Brown needs to be more consistently dominant than Addai. I think he will, but likely not this year.

 

[fflnut]

Donald Brown 1-45, I know let's not give him the ball anymore!!!!I just don't understand why they won't use this kid more.

Addai's 9 for 22 isn't good enough for you? I'm sure we'll see more Brown later in the game after the Colts build on their lead.

 

[bahamallama]

yeah but Addai is averaging about 2 yards a carry here and you have Brown, why not start mixing it up more now, if anything let Addai burn the clock at the end of the game because I don't see him breaking off 45 yard runs.

Sometimes I don't understand coaches.

[ffball-novice]

Smith almost whiffed on that block of Freeney. This is the 3rd Rookie LT he has faced this year I think.

 

[bahamallama]

Freeney + Rookie = Bad day for QB

 

[MCguidance]

Wayne strained groin, uncertain return.

 

[bahamallama]

a second carry for brown for 13 yards,

then addai, 3.

 

[duece2626]

Butler's back, but Manning is completing passes at will, which he won't help with. =p

Is he even playing? I see Dahl making a lot of tackles.

 

[sirfumblesalot]

Did Brown get injured? It says on NFL.com that he was injured on his 13 yd run.

 

[taz]

Wayne strained groin, uncertain return.

 

[wilked]

Is Brown hurt?

 

[bahamallama]

Did Brown get injured? It says on NFL.com that he was injured on his 13 yd run.

Don't know but that would explain why they keep using 3 yard Addai

 

[KellysHeroes]

Wayne strained groin, uncertain return.

I'm calling him out for 4 weeks right now

 

[ffball-novice]

Is Brown hurt?

Most likely nothing from announcers but there was a shot of him sitting on sidelines with pained look. People I assumed were trainers talking to him. Saw a message on a Colts board about holding shoulder as leaving field.

 

[mrspree15]

just saw a shot of him on the bench w/out his helmet via redzone channel. so i probably missed the explanation

He's been in there. Every time I see him he's running up to the play but the guy's already down. Colts are going three-wide and they seem to be keeping Dahl in for coverage. They're both on the field at the same time, Butler's just much further away from the play.

 

[Football Menace]

Wayne strained groin, uncertain return.

This is the injury we should be talking about. No mention of this on CBS Gametracker.

Clearly out for this game and we won't know how long until late Monday when they sort out how severe the strain is. KelleysHeroes 4 week estimates seem about right as a starting point.

 

[cubbie5150]

Great..damn Brown

 

[bahamallama]

rotoworld says strained groin for Wayne

helmet to arm for brown,

both not expected back.

 

[MrPhoenix]

Great..damn Brown

after 4 weeks to 6 weeks w/ no WR1.... most Wayne Owners will be out of the Playoffs when he does return. Hopefully Gonzo can return next week or the week after

 

[footballguy#1]

Jackson starting to heat up.

 

[MCguidance]

Sjax running well with a bit of blocking. Over 80 yards now.

Amazing, they move the ball, and then they collapse.

EDIT: Over 90 yards now.

I know it's been said over a thousand times. But if Jackson had ANY CONSISTENT blocking, 2006 would be the norm.

 

[MCguidance]

Wayne in, caught a pass.

 

[GoNads]

Wayne in, caught a pass.

Fastest 4 weeks I have ever seen.

 

[fflnut]

Hope Brown's injury heals as quickly. Any word on his return?
