WTF!!!

Its LT Bryant here live from Iraq... HIGHLY upset about how things went today!!! Granted we started off with ticky tac fouls, but then it got blatantly BAD! We cannot expect our boys to do well when they are facing a team that has 16 playing defence for them! That is one hell of a HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE! The Illegal Hands to the face calls, the MADE UP "FALSE START BECAUSE THE PLAYER WAS TRYING TO DRAW THE OFFENSIVE LINE TO FALSE START WITH A NON FOOTBALL MOVE"

What the heck was that??? Conveniently it gave Green Bay another 1st down as well as eating up game clock as well as another 3 points... The entire game was screwy!

I hope that you are all doing well at home, but WOW! That really hurt to watch! Not to mention they cut the game off with 4 minutes to play for the Jets game... I noticed (but was not one bit surprised) that we scored a touchdown and then it was called back!

ARGH!

I will be home in a month, and hope to catch up with some of you to YELL LIKE HELL at the games!

God Bless,

Hey all,

After seeing what the Vikings have to offer, I really don't think that we have to worry about the vikings much! They are gonig to try to run the ball against us, but we can work that out because they have a pretty weak passing game. The packers had everything going in their direction last night (this morning my time) but the vikings didn't seem to have an answer for them! I think we will be ok!

Apparently ESPN analysts are saying that the Colts are going to be the pick for hte AFC this year even more so with the way teams are playing and with other injuries around the league. (God speed Tom, we hate your team, but we respect the hell out of your ability, and I agree, the league won't be the same without you! I think I speak for all colts fans in saying we are sorry for you and hope that you come back to your former self! Good luck)

They know what type of coach TD is and know what type of player Peyton is, and really think that it is only a matter of getting reps to get him back on to dominating this game we call football!

All in all, we should be more than fine!

God Bless,

First things first. This site is GREAT! I really appreciate you all putting together a class website for true fans to talk about our team! I still wonder what "Terry" is doing on here though! lol

I am in Iraq right now, and got up at 3 in the morning so that I could watch our Colts do what was expected (by all it seemed) to the Bears. But as it was quoted earlier... "Sometimes the Bear gets you" That certainly was the case last night. (or this morning in my case) It was a tough pill to swallow watching our team knock off rust, but the sad part is that there didn't seem to be that burning desire to win that we have become used to. It seemed as though we were timid...

I have been bleeding blue since I have known about football. So I know how it feels to go through season after season of let downs, but this team truly has the potential to be great! They just need to OWN that identity! Yes we were one of the most dominant teams in those playoffs two years ago, and we won out! (I was cheering so hard at the AFC championship, that I literally threw up on the pats fan next to me. =P my brother in law who is from Cape Cod... After all the SH%$ talking he did during the first half, it was well deserved!)

We will put it together. If we stay healthy and get certain players back, we will be more than fine! We do need to get back to establishing the run, and then kill them with the pass, not hope for the pass, and then try to run. 80-20 pass attack will never work in this league. We have known that for some time! But getting protection that is stable will help that. Addai had some good runs, but he didn't get enough chances to do what he can do.

Coach Dungy cannot be swayed by the crowd to make challenges. His players will let him know if it was a good call or not. The big screen is not the greatest way to see if a call is good or not. But I understand why he had to take those chances. Each one had points attached to it. In the chance the the zebras were wrong, it changes the score board in both cases. So really he was trapped! But I sure wish that he had been able to challenge that no catch call on Reggies 40 yard reception. I don't know what the deal was with that!

At anyrate, cheer loud as hell there at home! No matter what is going on, we are COLTS FANS! NO ONE is LOUDER OR PROUDER! I will be watching every game that they show here, but I am afraid that if it is not a prime time game I will not be as lucky. But you can BET YOUR BUTT I will NEVER give up on my COLTS!

God Bless you all, and have a great day, your Hoosiers are here in Iraq, and you can rest easy knowing that WE wont drop the ball on OUR watch!
