The Curse of Robert Irsay Game Thread (Colts vs. Ravens).

[Fanfrom1960]

Interesting sidelight to this game, remembering owner Robert Irsay moving the Colts out of Baltimore in the middle of the night, pi**ing off all of Baltimore. I don't know what happened back then, but the Colts weren't one of your shoddier franchises with 3 NFL championships to their credit, one a super bowl win. Anyway, we'll give it a curse game thingie in honor of Babe Ruth, who grew up in Baltimore. Kickoff at 4:30 EST.

Three and out for the Ravens.... Good looking run defense so far.

LOL I was thinking that also but in a different way.
He looks like his hemroids are ready to bust out and he's all bound up.

Re: Official Colts - Ravens game thread

Can someone please explain to me why teams don't come out and run a play action pass against the Colts on the first play of the game?

You know their going to put 8 or 9 in the box!

Suggs seemed held on the first play..like Seymour got held but never called b/c its the Colts

It sucks that the colts got lucky with Addai ... he's too good for them.

Adalius Thomas is huge. I wouldn't mind him anchoring the outside next year.

Klecko sucked at blocking when he was here.

Re: Official Colts - Ravens game thread

If the Colts jump out early, the Ravens will struggle to hold them. This is already a good drive, despite Peyton wearing his play-off pout even before the first snap.
