The **Official** Patriots-Colts Game Thread (1 Viewer)

[JJ Evans]

Time to kick the season off, JJ says "Dynomite, Are you ready for some Football". **Crappy country music playing**

 

[BassNBrew]

What time is the game...I don't trust CBS.

 

[JJ Evans]

9PM EST, 6PM PST. 2 hours and 7 minutes until were soaked with commercials.

 

[sjslacker]

Go Willie Green!

 

[Mr Dingles]

All I want is 100+ total yards and a td out of Edge.

 

[JJ Evans]

I'd like 6 field goals and a couple PATs from Vinateri, that's all I got riding on this one tonight.

 

[Village Idiot]

Finally Christmas Day number 2 is here. Number 1 was League draft day last Sunday.If there is a FF God Harrison will go for over 100 and 2 TD's.I don't dislike New England but, it would be nice to see the Colts get a win in Foxboro.

 

[Brack]

If there is a FF God Harrison will go for over 100 and 2 TD's.

Allow me to second that......

What is this? The werewolf reunion thread?Hmm. What is my rooting interest in this game.Colts positives:Were a speedbump in the 1988 playoffs for my Browns.Were stung by the evil John Elway when he refused to sign in 1983.Colts negatives:Owner Jim Irsay backstabbed Baltimore like Art did Cleveland. Had he not done that, the old Browns might still be in town and we'd have a super bowl.Patriots positives:Were spanked in the playoffs by the 1994 Browns.Thoroughly enjoyed watching them upset the Steelers in the AFC title game in 2001. They made Kordell cry as they exposed him.Patriots negatives:Belichick wins two super bowls with them.Cheaters - they willingly bent the rules in pass coverage to the extent that the NFL had to adjust the rules this year. Therefore no respect can ever be accorded their accomplishments.Don't like their fans - too arrogant.I think I'll be rooting for the Colts here.

Brady 250 3tds 1 int tonightthats all im asking

 

[Vivian Darkbloom]

Edge is the only player I really wanted in any league I was in, but I kept pulling high draft slots, and couldn't trade down. I took the LT's and Priests, hoping they'll start big and I'll be able to maximize trade value, but Edge was the guy I wanted. Hoping he has a slow night, so I can leverage a deal. I'm terrified he comes out of the gate this year with a statement game against the defending champs, though. :(

you're rooting for an INT?

No sense being greedy.

 

[nerangers]

Would love a high scoring game...as long as the Pats win!I have Edge, Manning, and Branch all going in different leagues.

LOL!!!That cracked me up.

 

[Multiple Scoregasms]

Yep can't be greedy

 

[Footballhead]

I got the kicker (Vinateri) :( , I hope the wind will die down a bit.

 

[Dynasty]

Anybody see Ditka on the ESPN pre-game show? He looks good.

 

[jurb26]

My week 1 opponent is being bold and starting Manning tonight. I'm looking for a NE win sprung from about 3-4 INTS. For some reason I'm felling pretty lucky.

 

[PhinsFan]

I just swapped Brady in again. Here's hoping he does well tonight & Plummer doesn't do too hot this weekend.

 

[dickey moe]

Word! Hey Shirley, bring me a grape soda!

 

[Guru]

Daniel Graham will have a breakout game tonight against the Colt's Cover 2 Defense!

 

[Dynasty]

I've got lots of interest in this game. I'm playing a double-header today.In game one, I've got Edgerrin James and Daniel Graham starting against Tom Brady and Deion Branch.In game two, I've got James and Graham starting against Peyton Manning and Corey Dillon.So, the last thing I want to see is a big passing game.

 

[Vivian Darkbloom]

***Official Bit of Prognostication Before I Go Get Liquored Up***Edge - conservatively, 150 yfs/ 2 TDThere's no more ego-driven player on the planet. He's got the following things converging tonight:1 - A bad taste in his mouth from the close-but-no-cigar end of last season. 2 - A knee that finally seems to work close enough to the way his old one did to make him a legit threat again.3 - An exclusive stage, with no other games on the schedule, on opening night, on nat'l TV.4 - A Belichick team on the other side that traditionally doesn't come out of the gate fast.5 - A chance to make a statement about his health, about his contract, and his about his team, against the champs, and with 1-4 in his favor.Whether he has more to play for than anybody else out there is up for debate. But I'm betting HE thinks he does. And unlike most everyone else on the field, being a feature RB he's in position to showcase that, as if he succeeds one play at a time, he'll be fed the ball more and more and more. Ego meets opportunity meets circumstance and turns this into a great performance.

I've had Edge the last 3 years, and don't have him this year.Therefore the chances of your predictions happening are quite high.

Are you guys wishing or know something I don't. I've got Heap starting instead of Graham as of now. What's up w/ that?

Here we go again.... Go Pats!!! Dynasty time! Whiny and proud of it

 

[jamny]

Him, and Mike Doss with a pick or 2.

:X NTTAWWT

 

[TexCoug]

I heard there was bad weather -- is that wind on the performers, etc, real?

 

[Shrek]

I was just watching the Bob Kraft pregame speech. Anyone notice how small his hands are compared to the rest of his body? They're like baby hands.

 

[jbz]

anyone know where I can get an internet radio feed of this game, I'm stuck at work :(

 

[Marc Levin]

4 minutes till kickoff!!The long wait is over!Time to drink.

 

[JJ Evans]

I'm going to order a pizza and watch the game with my 9 month old son. He'll be eating Cheerios.

 

[madviking10]

Run Dillon..run !!!! :horns:

 

[Harv72b]

I think it says something about how much we miss football, when the first game thread of the regular season hits page 2 before kickoff.

 

[Red Hot Tamales]

I predict Indy will win the coin toss.BTW, as stated elsewhere, I benched Brady in favor of Carr. I'll be here for a while, and I can take the verbal abuse.Either way, I still have Brady on my team.

You're 0 for 1 so far.New England wins coin toss, elects to Receive, and Indianapolis elects to defend the North goal

 

[BGP]

Huh, didn't know the Colts changed the color of their facemasks from blue to gray.

 

[cstu]

Haha, no Dillon

 

[Multiple Scoregasms]

tmqb has me with 32 kick return yardsdamn cbs

 

[ianfitzy]

Watson looking good.

 

[Lehigh98]

Haha, no Dillon

I'm in trouble.

 

[Harv72b]

move Ben Watson up your sleeper TE lists.

 

[Sputnikv8]

Brady owners that didn't start him have to be chewing their fingernails right now. Its all passing here!

 

[cstu]

Bill is holding Dillon back for the heavy dose he's going to get in the 2nd half.

 

[Lehigh98]

My Dillon and Graham picks are starting to look pretty bad.

 

[BGP]

Hah, the Patriots have a patch of their last super bowl win on their jersey.I would've thought a Belichick team would prefer to be looking ahead to 2004, not behind to 2003.How arrogant, too. I don't think any prior champ ever did something like that.

 

[fairchild]

Brady is having his way with the Colts...
