**Donald Driver has a reception in 101 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in team history (Sterling Sharpe, 103).

**In the past five games, Nick Collins has three interceptions

**....and Charles Woodson has four.

**Tramon Williams is going for a fourth straight game with an interception.

GO PACK!!!!

Two things could happen:

(A) We get blown out

(B) We win narrowly.

[arcilite]

Is Justin harrell playing

[Patler]

The Packers play a little bit lose with their "consecutive games" streaks for player performances. Neither Jennings nor Driver had a reception against the Lions in the last regular season game last year. Both were on the game-day inactive list. The Packer do not consider that to have interrupted their strings of consecutive games with a reception.

If either had been injured in game 2 and missed the next 8 weeks due to that, being a game day inactive each week, would their consecutive streaks for receptions remain?

[Patler]

Is Justin harrell playing

He was not activated yesterday. I think they have until 1:00 today to activate him off the PUP list and make him available for Sunday.

[oregonpackfan]

If the Packers cannot put out a consistent pass rush against Peyton Manning, he will pick the Packers' defense apart! This may be the deciding factor in the game, IMO.

[Gunakor]

Two things could happen:

(A) We get blown out

(B) We win narrowly.

The Colts are worse against the run defensively than we are. Ryan Grant could have a breakout game this week. We definitely want to get him going so we can keep the ball on the ground, keep the clock running, and keep the ball out of Peyton's hands. If we can do that, I think there's a good chance we could win this one convincingly.

[Fosco33]

Colts played a strong Raven defense last week and ran up the score... I just don't see a W happening.

[retailguy]

Colts played a strong Raven defense last week and ran up the score... I just don't see a W happening.

I agree with you in concept, however the strength of the ravens defense is their run defense, and the Colts destroyed them with the passing offense with Addai being hurt.

However, you could make an argument that if the Packers have a strength on Defense right now it's in the secondary. That being said, I don't think it's enough to bring home a victory.

[boiga]

I'm not as pessimistic as you guys are. These two teams are fairly evenly matched. Both have a strong group of receivers, a struggling run game, and a defense that has been hobbled by injuries. So, from my point of view this could go either way.

If we can make Peyton uncomfortable in the pocket, we should be able to win this one. This might require some new blitz schemes, but they've had a couple prepared for the last couple of weeks that they haven't used yet. Manning is the lone weapon in the Colts offense, so if we interrupt him we should be able to win.

Secondly, if this is going to be a shoot out, we'll need to control the time of possession. Our run game has been better than theirs this season, so we have a good chance to accomplish this. If we keep Manning off the field for most of the game, the Colts D will crumble.

So, I think we have decent shot of winning. As long as no one screws up, the Packers will win.

Packers will beat the Colt sunday.

[The Shadow]

GO PACK!

[Partial]

I have seen the others
and I have discovered
That this fight is not worth fighting
and I have seen their receivers
and I will no other, to have to cover
the indy colts.
So, hit the showers and hang your cleats
you've got no chance against this fleet.

good info double 0...

Good info is right! I was just going to ask where we rank as far as INTs go and decided to just not be lazy and look it up myself.

We have 11 picks on the season which ties us with Tampa Bay for the NFL lead. Tramon and Collins have been the difference this year. Woodson, we've already known he's a ballhawk...

[GrnBay007]

good info double 0...

Thanks. Info compliments of NFLdotcom. :D

[GBRulz]

Way to get the trend started, 007....let's keep it going with a big win tomorrow. Maybe I'm feeling overly optimistic, but I have a feeling that we're going to see the Packers play their best football that they have all year. I see a big win... 41-20 Packers.

[Joemailman]

Is Justin harrell playing

Doesn't look like it. They would have had to put someone on IR by 3 PM today if they are activating Harrell, and there hasn't been any report of it. Looks like Pickett is ready to go, which would reduce the need to rush Harrell back after less than a week of practice. http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=807426

[Guiness]

And you call yourself the Kool-Aid rat???? For Shame!

lol.... that's Kool-aid rat, not blind homer rat. They just don't match up well in this game, hope I am pleasantly surprised... :lol:

[GBRulz]

There is a difference between kool-aid and a blind homer? :P

[arcilite]

For those who were not watching the fox pregame.

Jay Glazer came on and said Brett Favre spent over an hour on the phone with Lions coaches and staff giving away everything about the PAckers offense.

[MJZiggy]

Good timing since we play the Colts this week...

[Rastak]

For those who were not watching the fox pregame.

I'm sure that will really help Indy.

edit: I have to admit that is really lame if true.

Who is to say he hasnt called up the Colts and done the same thing. He had had a week off last week to chat it up with the Packers upcoming teams.

I mentioned this in anouther thread, but if this is indeed true why would he only call the Lions. The Cowboys really had our number

[BallHawk]

Game is on TV here, even though I thought it wasn't because of distribution map link that's been posted here.

[GBRulz]

Jesus H.....the F-18's just flew over and scared the crap outta me.

[Rastak]

Jesus H.....the F-18's just flew over and scared the crap outta me.


Why? They fire some smart bombs?


Damn that sounds stupid...Hornet's don't "fire" bombs.

[GBRulz]

dunno what they fire, but they are LOUD!

[BallHawk]

Good start.

[gbgary]

nice run. LET'S GO PACKERS!!!

[Bretsky]

Indy 31
GB 23

Hopefully I'm wrong

Here we go

[BallHawk]

+15.

[J-Rok]

Haha, I'm stuck with bunny ears--bouncing static and snow.

Go Pack!!! Great start.

[Bretsky]

That was a wussy personal foul

[GBRulz]

refs are calling everything little thing, geez

[gbgary]

That was a wussy personal foul

but it was in our favor so it was a very good call. :)

[GBRulz]

IND penalty keeps the drive alive.

[BallHawk]

More penalties.

Yesssssss.

[PackerTimer]

That was a wussy personal foul

Agreed. I'll take the 15 yards but that was weak. Maybe the NFL is turning into a pansy league.

[GBRulz]

I like to see Rodgers step up into the pocket like that

[J-Rok]

Woah, another team does illegal contact

Close. Hold onto that ball, gosh.

[GBRulz]

grant :bang:

[gbgary]

come on grant.

[GBRulz]

does Grant even have a TD this year?

[Bretsky]

nice looking drive

Keep control of clock

Grant looking better every week

[gbgary]

if we keep running the quick-hitters, like that last run, we should do well on the ground today

[BallHawk]

does Grant even have a TD this year?

Nope.

[Bretsky]

does Grant even have a TD this year?


BH is right; I thought he had one

[Gunakor]

does Grant even have a TD this year?

No, but he'd have 4 if Favre were still here. He wouldn't be called upon to sneak it in from the 1 yard line like Rodgers has been.

[PackerTimer]

Colledge with some piss poor blocking on that play.

[GBRulz]

Jordy !! :clap:

[GBRulz]

does Grant even have a TD this year?

No, but he'd have 4 if Favre were still here. He wouldn't be called upon to sneak it in from the 1 yard line like Rodgers has been.

Well, that tells me that M3 has no confidence in our run game to have QB sneaks like that.

[gbgary]

3...better than nothing.

[Gunakor]

That was a great defensive play make to break that one up. Good opening drive though.

[Gunakor]

does Grant even have a TD this year?

No, but he'd have 4 if Favre were still here. He wouldn't be called upon to sneak it in from the 1 yard line like Rodgers has been.

Well, that tells me that M3 has no confidence in our run game to have QB sneaks like that.

He ran Grant 33 times last week, and most plays in that opening drive were run plays. I think he just realizes that the easiest way to get 1 yard is to run the QB between the center and guard. 1 yard is almost guaranteed.

[Rastak]

What exactly was that?

[Gunakor]

WTF??

[Fosco33]

Gotta take advantage of those penalties (weak PF) and lucky bounces (and hustle by Hall).

Grant has gotta stem these fumbles. He's been running harder the last 5 quarters though.

I'll take the 3 and scoring on opening drive.

Let's hope Manning makes a few mistakes....

Hmmm - quite the call by M3 (I like the aggressiveness) - but execution... execution.

[Gunakor]

Saved by the rulebook again!

[Rastak]

That's a dumb rule.....

[boiga]

Hard to complain about the rekick considering.

Dang... how windy is it there today???

[GBRulz]

wtf

[Rastak]

Too much food at the local eatery for Crosby?

[Gunakor]

I didn't realize it was so windy, it's not bad at all down here in Milwaukee.

[GBRulz]

We have a Chili's now. Longwell would be proud :wink:

[boiga]

Weird series. The Colts saved us again.

[Fosco33]

Wow - some very beneficial calls... another PF after a lucky rekick and a kick out of bounds.

Lots of action for not much...

[gbgary]

We have a Chili's now.

:lol:

[GBRulz]

It doesn't seem to be that windy outside, but down on the field can be a totally different story.

[boiga]

Come on D!!!

Pickett's looking healthy

[PackerTimer]

Nice play by Picket.

[Fosco33]

Weather.com says 19mph winds gusting to 32 from SSW.

[Rastak]

Dumb play, he was out of bounds....

[GBRulz]

do the refs get bonuses based on the # of flags they throw or something?

[Fosco33]

playin 'rough' today... gotta play with your head TWill.

[boiga]

Ticky tack call on T-Will. It wasn't much of a push.

[PackerTimer]

Another weak penalty. Pansy league indeed.

[Gunakor]

do the refs get bonuses based on the # of flags they throw or something?

T-Will hit him 5 yards OOB... that's a flag no matter which crew is working the game.

[crosbiegrad]

There are going to be far too many penalties in this game

[Tony Oday]

Good god we need to do better on the Run!

[Fosco33]

OK - I hate the fact that people can't pronounce Dominic (Dom-i-nick)

There's no Q...

I know from personal experience 8-)

[GBRulz]

OK - I hate the fact that people can't pronounce Dominic (Dom-i-nick)

There's no Q...

I know from personal experience 8-)

That's part of Simms accent. He says HEEM instead of him. His i's sound like e's

[Brando19]

OK - I hate the fact that people can't pronounce Dominic (Dom-i-nick)

There's no Q...

I know from personal experience 8-)

Is that your name?

[Fosco33]

Doh

[Tony Oday]

this is a joke we need to be better coached its not like the Colts are doing something new.

[boiga]

Come on D, get your act together.

[GBRulz]

can't give Manning a short field.

[J-Rok]

Wake up.

[crosbiegrad]

Dominic Rhodes, anyone can run against our d

[Brando19]

Anyone know where to watch the game online? Can't find it on justintv.

[GBRulz]

This CC ad is BS. The prices in the store are often more than online. They don't check unless you ask.

[Rastak]

This CC ad is BS. The prices in the store are often more than online. They don't check unless you ask.

Online buy and pickup at store is cool though.

[Fosco33]

Through a friend, Frost said the field conditions are shitty - lots of sand (you can see it outside the hashes).

Hope we have the right equipment today.

Yeah but for some things you can't use it. Like blu-ray or video games.

[gbgary]

quick-hitters are working.

[boiga]

Handy PI there.

[rdanomly]

The game isn't televised here, were any changes made to the starting O line?

[PackerTimer]

Crazy to see PI penalties on anybody but the Packers. That was a good call though.

[GBRulz]

Through a friend, Frost said the field conditions are shitty - lots of sand (you can see it outside the hashes).

Hope we have the right equipment today.


The half artificial turf ain't helping?

Considering Frost is struggling, he might be using any excuse possible.

Curious though, what does too much sand cause? I don't see players slipping around out there today?

[Rastak]

Not much interfearence there but I can't argue the call.

[Fosco33]

Also, my buddy at the game said Frost had a crappy warm-up.... this wind and field position could cause problems for both teams. At least we've had 2 decent drives against the wind.

[TheCheese]

They were in the last home game. But yeah, slippage.

You can even see the sand flying on that last catch by GJ.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldnt find it

[Brando19]

Grant sucks.

[GBRulz]

I like the TOP on our side. Let's get 6 here!

[gbgary]

detroit's already down 21-0

[GBRulz]

I miss the dump off passes to the RB. We were so successful with those when we had A. Green.

[digitaldean]

detroit's already down 21-0

If they fired the GM already, don't think Marinelli may be around much longer.

[gbgary]

keep pilling up the first downs.

[boiga]

Grant sucks. It doesn't help when we are running into 9 in the box.

Good block there too.

[GBRulz]

wow, that was a great block by Grant !!

[gbgary]

awesome drive. grant picked up a blitzer.

[Fosco33]

AWESOME block, toss, catch!

[digitaldean]

Nice blitz pickup by Grant.

[PackerTimer]

TD!!!!!!!!!!!

[gex]

Donald Lee !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! booyaa

[Fosco33]

10 bucks the kickoff goes through the endzone.

[PackerTimer]

It kind of looked like the Packers offense finally woke up in the second half last week. Nice to see it carrying through to the first two drives today.

[Brando19]

10 bucks the kickoff goes through the endzone.

OK :lol:

[HarveyWallbangers]

Kind of stinks that I don't have confidence in this defense. If the defense was as good as last year, I'd feel pretty good about this team.

[gbgary]

10 bucks the kickoff goes through the endzone.

that just cost you about $500 bucks.

[Fosco33]

10 bucks the kickoff goes through the endzone.

that just cost you about $500 bucks.

Haha... bucks = hits on a should OR a crappy NBA player.

[boiga]

Good pick up on the screen for once.

[Fosco33]

Kind of stinks that I don't have confidence in this defense. If the defense was as good as last year, I'd feel pretty good about this team.

Do you think they'll get better?

Is the reason primarily injuries, scheme, personnel or effort?

[Fosco33]

Checkout the slippage by Manning - I'm telling you that field is crappy w/ the extra sand.

[Fosco33]

Checkout the slippage by Manning - I'm telling you that field is crappy w/ the extra sand.

More slips - maybe we have an advantage in cleats.

[Gunakor]

Checkout the slippage by Manning - I'm telling you that field is crappy w/ the extra sand.

More slips - maybe we have an advantage in cleats.

What is the extra sand there for?

[boiga]

Crowd nose caused that false start. Manning couldn't call his audible.

[Gunakor]

2 plays in a row Blackmon had good position covering Harrison. I'm impressed.

[Fosco33]

Manning just mouthed, 'fing $hit'. Gotta love that - bet his sponsors do as well.

clean cut my arse.

[gbgary]

5-3 jets?? :shock:

[boiga]

Go Driver! Wiggle Wiggle Man!

[gbgary]

DD!!

[BallHawk]

Nice catch.

[Brando19]

I saw in another chatroom that Reggie Bush tore his ACL...anyone heard?

[gbgary]

way to get DD involved.

[gbgary]

going for it!! let's go Pack!!

[boiga]

Sweet, they're going for it!!! scared indy into a timeout at least.

[digitaldean]

isn't that a little early??

[boiga]

I saw in another chatroom that Reggie Bush tore his ACL...anyone heard? RUMORS OF SEASON-ENDING INJURY FOR BUSH PREMATURE
Posted by Mike Florio on October 19, 2008, 4:44 p.m.

As rumors circulate that Saints running back Reggie Bush’s knee injury might end his season, a source tells us that any such conclusion is premature.

That said, the extent of the damage is currently unknown. The knee will be examined more closely, as soon as Sunday night.

We’re told that, as of now, Bush doesn’t believe that the injury is serious.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/10/19/rumors-of-season-ending-injury-for-bush-premature/

[gbgary]

isn't that a little early??

he's pulling out all the stops. already tried an on-sides kick.

[BallHawk]

Nice.

Grant's running hard.

[gbgary]

nice!! keep going!!

[Rastak]

That worked but what a dumb fucking decision. I stand by it's playing scared to go for it in your own territory in the second qtr.

[digitaldean]

Way to go RYAN!!

[boiga]

Sweet!!!

That was huge. Our offense vs Indy defense is a much better matchup than the vice versa. Good call by M3

[Fosco33]

At least M3 is aggressive today.

[J-Rok]

Harrell and B. Jackson playing or are they still out?

[Gunakor]

Harrell and B. Jackson playing or are they still out?

B-Jax just caught a first down catch, so he's playing. Not sure about Harrell, but I hadn't heard they activated him from PUP yet.

[TheCheese]

I love the clock control.

[Fosco33]

Grant seems to run into his blockers on most plays.

[boiga]

Hey, at least they are being picky on both sides.


B Jack just took a mean hit though. Hope his head's all right.

[Fosco33]

I love the clock control.

Colts have historically lost TOP - they play very quick.

Is that the 3rd penalty to give Pack a 1st down?

[gbgary]

At least M3 is aggressive today.

yes and not being predictable. getting everyone involved too. is it panicy...maybe, but it's working so far.

[GBRulz]

haha, Ruvell

[BallHawk]

MY MAN!

[Gunakor]

Way to hang onto the ball Ruve!!!

[TheCheese]

Rodgers is playing like a fricking stud.

[Tony Oday]

BOOYAH!!!! Takes a licking keeps on ticking!

[digitaldean]

C'mon guys, punch this bastard in!!

[gbgary]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tony Oday]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[boiga]

So Grant can do it!

He might earn his money yet.

[GBRulz]

WTG GRANT

[PackerTimer]

RYAN GRANT getting back into form.

[Brando19]

There you go Bretsky...hope your happy with Grant now. :lol:

[Gunakor]

There's the Grant we saw all last season. That play would have gone for 90 yards if we had run it on our 10 yard line.

[Rastak]

Rodgers is playing like a fricking stud.


He is indeed.

[gbgary]

grant sucks today. :D

[digitaldean]

NOW Grant has his TD!!!!

Ate up nearly 7:00 of clock too, SWEET!!!

[J-Rok]

I love the play calling today. We actually look like a west-coastish team.

[Fosco33]

Get off Grant's back!

http://img2.travelblog.org/Photos/1564/3160/t/54636-Get-that-Monkey-off-my-back-0.jpg

[GBRulz]

I like the aggressiveness today. M3 was that way halfway for both of our first two games...let's keep it up

[The Gunshooter]

As long as Grant runs hard he will eventually get in the groove.

[Tony Oday]

Get off Grant's back!

http://img2.travelblog.org/Photos/1564/3160/t/54636-Get-that-Monkey-off-my-back-0.jpg

I actually laughed at this one!

[gbgary]

16 first downs. THAT will keep the defense fresh.

[boiga]

The thing I like about this game so far is that we are making good use of all of our weapons. All 4 WR's, Lee, Grant, and B Jack have gotten us 1st downs.

We have too many weapons for them to stop if we keep using them like this.

[gbgary]

if we can get a 3 and out here...then look out.

[Fosco33]

Is that the crowd I hear?

Been absent except for the Vikings game...

[PackerTimer]

Harrell and B. Jackson playing or are they still out?

B-Jax just caught a first down catch, so he's playing. Not sure about Harrell, but I hadn't heard they activated him from PUP yet.

I don't know if he's active. I haven't seen him out there yet.

[gbgary]

way to PACKER D!!

[The Gunshooter]

GB is going to need about 30 points though. Let's see that 2 minute drill.

[Gunakor]

Defense looks VERY well rested.

3 and out, so we have time to put more points on the board before halftime.

[PackerTimer]

if we can get a 3 and out here...then look out.

Hell yeah.

[boiga]

How'd pickett block that? what ever happened to his arm being in a sling and not being able to extend it?

[Tony Oday]

Who is this defense?

[gbgary]

pickett skied on celebration. :lol:

[Brando19]

Who is this defense?

Imagine against the Titans...with Bigby and Harris back...watch out!

[gbgary]

seven on this posession would be awesome.

[digitaldean]

WOW...181 yds total vs. 89 for the Colts.

[Tony Oday]

BOO YA AR!

[gbgary]

AR........great play!!

[Gunakor]

Nice job Jordy, way to keep your feet and get out of bounds.

[Fosco33]

wow - arod actually did something Favre was a master at...

[J-Rok]

I love the screens.

[Tony Oday]

wow - arod actually did something Favre was a master at...

He didnt throw a pick...

[Badgerinmaine]

Can't remember a game this year where the opponent has so many penalties in the first half.

[boiga]

Heads up use on the free play. Rodgers is looking stellar.

[gbgary]

keep pilling up the first downs!!

[GBRulz]

wow - arod actually did something Favre was a master at...

He didnt throw a pick...

:roll:

[Gunakor]

wow - arod actually did something Favre was a master at...

I expect you'll see alot of similarities between the two.

[Fosco33]

We must see that Indy overpursues or is too fast to defend the screen?

I bet the Colts adjust and we need to come back with a completely different scheme in 2nd half.

[GBRulz]

I love seeing Manning on the sidelines!

[Tony Oday]

wow - arod actually did something Favre was a master at...

He didnt throw a pick...

:roll:

Oh come on that was funny :)

[The Gunshooter]

Not bad but a little better pass blocking would help.

[gbgary]

look at AR's face...very calm, no panic.

[Brando19]

I love seeing Manning on the sidelines!

Me too...haha

[Fosco33]

wow - arod actually did something Favre was a master at...

I expect you'll see alot of similarities between the two.

True - I meant that the few times we've drawn neutral zone Arod didn't take advantage. first time I recall seeing him get a free play.

Arod has done VERY well this year - way (way) above my expectations.

[Gunakor]

look at AR's face...very calm, no panic.

Look at Manning's face :lol: :lol: :lol:

[boiga]

We must see that Indy overpursues or is too fast to defend the screen?

I bet the Colts adjust and we need to come back with a completely different scheme in 2nd half. Indy is has a fast but small front seven, so they are always better against the screen than running up the middle.

All these screens early are just to set up some cut backs in the second half.

[gbgary]

COME ON PACK!!

[Fosco33]

We must see that Indy overpursues or is too fast to defend the screen?

All these screens early are just to set up some cut backs in the second half.

I sure hope so. I bet we see a reverse (or double reverse) in 2nd half.

[Tony Oday]

So we are leaving the door open :(

Manning in the second half I am actually VERY scared.

[Gunakor]

Crosby pulled that one.

[gbgary]

:shock:

[Tony Oday]

lol MM said how did he miss that? lol

that sucks

[PackerTimer]

Shit. Crosby never missed those.

[Badgerinmaine]

Ouch.

[Brando19]

wtf Mason...not like him to miss one that bad.

[Fosco33]

Dang. We'll need those 3 to beat the Colts.

Good snap, hold, wind at your back?

[GBRulz]

I would have gone for the TD :lol:

You should be...well, at least concerned.

[boiga]

Crosby's having a bad day today. I think the miffed on side kick messed him up.

[digitaldean]

Can't give the Colts breaks like that....

That aside, a very good first half.

[Gunakor]

wtf Mason...not like him to miss one that bad.

Is the wind cutting across the field or is it right at his back?

Flags were blowing right-left but mainly at his back. He just pulled it.

[mmmdk]

Is that the crowd I hear?

Been absent except for the Vikings game...

Good obs - thought I was the only one in here noticing.

Since it's halftime; what's up with the crowd; prior to today?

I don't know but MM thought he made it a first...then looked again after the crowd reaction. That wind must be pretty bad...but I'm not sure if it caused him to miss that kick that bad.

The local news just said that Bob Harlan paid a personal visit to the fence painter that paints his fence every year. For those that aren't familiar, this years fence slogan is "Thank you Harlan Family For All You Have Done".

I don't think we'll ever have a President who was so approachable and liked by the fans as Harlan.

Earlier in the drive they said wind was at GBs back. Lousy miss by Crosby; I'm baffled as Crosby should normally nail this. :shock: Don't give Manning too many chances & he'll rebound.

[digitaldean]

Yeah, GBR, I'd have to agree.

All in all, he seemed like the everyday type of guy.

Though he had some hiccups (shermy as GM, Rhodes as coach) he helped restore this team back to the top echelon.

Best Packer half this season 'cos it's against a good team.

Well, if you are headed towards the north end zone and there is a 25 MPH northwest wind, the wind is at your back and cutting across the field at the same time. That's why I asked if it was directly at his back or not.

gotta keep this up!! that field goal miss was very disappointing. hope it doesn't come back to haunt.

You were at the Atlanta game, you tell us.

The only other game was Dallas. Not exactly a whole lot to cheer about IMO. Besides, it was also a Milw game who are known not to be as loud.

He is the reason we have a renovated Lambeau Field. That referendum barely passed, but still. He busted his ass trying to get that passed.

That's one game & the crowd was lackluster that day; is noon games a factor?

[digitaldean]

Let's look at it this way:

No Super Bowl titles (since the 60's - if we didn't win) = No renovations

He helped in one way or another to bring both to this team/community.

[boiga]

Come on Defense, keep it up!!!

[Fosco33]

I think we'll need another 17 in 2nd half.

Colts have the wind - we need a few long drives to minimize that advantage - but we get it in the 4th Q when it really matters.
