ESPN just flashed on screen that the game is a 4:15 start. That was a mistake, right? Isn't it at 1:00?

is steve smith playing?

 

[BigA]

5 minutes until the beginning of the end for joe addai and his stud status. Currently #2 going forward this week. Providing Dundy remains as excited as he is with regard to his new "2 back system", JA goes to at least 10th as FWP, LJ, Westy, Gore, Portis, Bush, McGahee and Barber 3 pass him up.

This is a kick in the grapes to all JA owners. 80/20 or worse case 70/30 would be ok...but not 50/50...not to mention possibly losing goalline work to boot.

Good luck today!

Carolina offense looks surprisingly good early on. Foster's hitting the holes with confidence and the Carolina O-Line is winning some early battles.

 

[Young 8]

Testaverde looks good

QB sneak for 6yds

 

[JHicks22]

Running game for CAR is looking good. Nice drive so far.

and they are using all of the clock... Foster, DeAngelo even Hoover getting carries. This could be interesting...

The Colts defense has come out VERY flat today. No pressure with the front 4, terrible coverage in the secondary, Panthers converting 3rd down rushes...

9+ minute first drive and counting for the Panthers.

Actually - Smith hasn't been in the lineup for the last 6-7 plays. It's a valid question.

He missed 1-2 plays on the drive, not 6-7.

Replay your tivo and check again. Trust me - I hope you're right, but he hasn't been in. If he has, my bad, but I haven't seen him and I'm watching the game.

Foster TD

 

[Workhorse]

TD, Foster.

The Panthers just pushed the Colts around that whole drive.

 

[Tau837]

Wow, what an amazing opening drive. 11 minutes and a TD. I seriously can't see them going back to Carr.

Yes he has. Number 89. They have been running the ball for the most part, so he hasn't been targeted since the 12 yard catch.

 

[Workhorse]

The Colts defensive front 7 got pretty well manhandled for 11+ minutes.

This Carolina O-Line might be a very bad matchup for them.

My bad than. Thanks for the clarification.

3 and out for the Colts. The Panthers look faster on both side of the ball so far.

 

[Young 8]

fumble

OMG

 

[Workhorse]

What in the world was the punt returner THINKING there?

 

[CA_7]

exactly what CAR could not afford to do to have a chance to win

 

[mad sweeney]

3 and out for the Colts. The Panthers look faster on both side of the ball so far.

And ######ed on the third side. Same play that knocked SD out of the playoffs last year.

 

[mad sweeney]

I like seeing Addai staying in, and get the ball twice, so far. We'll see how the RB shakeup is this game.

And he was open for a TD if Peyton looked right.

Yep all addai never took himself out!

 

[Football Jones]

The RBBC thing in Indy was kinda ridiculous to begin with (for several reasons).

 

[Andy Hicks]

Utecht fumble. Carolina with the ball in the Indy red zone

2-9 IND14 (8:56) (Shotgun) P.Manning pass short right to B.Utecht to IND 25 for 11 yards (N.Diggs). FUMBLES (N.Diggs), RECOVERED by CAR-C.Harris at IND 14. C.Harris to IND 28 for -14 yards. Lateral to N.Diggs ran ob at IND 28 for no gain. Play Challenged by IND and Upheld. (Timeout #1 at 08:44.)

 

[Tau837]

Wow, Carolina is good enough to win this game but it seems they will give it away... they already fumbled to give up Indy's 3 points so far, now they throw an interception in the end zone which takes away a sure FG. 6 point swing so far.

 

[Young 8]

7-3...jesus

i was expecting a shootout here

So far Kenton Keith has looked good on his one carry for 1 yard ....... and his one dropped passJoe Addai has almost looked as good on his 9 carry 1 td first halfIs it possible ... just possible that Dungy was playing to the media a little on this one ?

 

[Peak]

Let Smith Play!!

Let Smith Play!!

Throw him the #### ball!!!

Addai dropped a pass, too. I think it is still too early to tell. I think everyone pretty much said that Addai would get the majority of the carries; it is just a matter of what the percentages are. The first half of this game is probably not telling of things to come, since Indy didn't have the ball that much.

 

[NoDigg41]

Steeler Nationalist watching on game tracker, is Steve Smith still in the game? Damn you Jake Delhomme, Damn You!!!

yea was keith or gore.. no dallas clark catches? odd

 

[Ghost Rider]

That drive was a clinic. Whatever halftime adjustments the Colts made on offense, they worked to a 't' on that drive.

Targeted like 5 or 6 times so far...good D, bad passes, a drop or two...Clark does have one catch

 

[Ghost Rider]

That should have been a catch and a fumble, but one of the refs blew it dead too quickly.

 

[Young 8]

Testaverde out, Carr IN

looks like an ankle injury

 

[mr. furley]

Testaverde take the Panthers chances down with him?
