Indianapolis Colts vs. Tennessee Titans Series at a Glance

by Jimmy on Oct 7, 2009 1:15 PM CDT in Previews Comment 35 comments

It is tough to determine which team I hate more between the Colts and the Ravens. It is probably the Colts though because we don't play the Ravens every year anymore.

Anyway, the Colts lead the all-time series between these two teams 16-13 (7-10 on the road). They have only met once in the postseason, and Eddie George is still running (sorry Colts' fans, but we need to live in the past right about now). The last time these two teams met was the meaningless week 17 game last season.

A side note is that this will be Keith Bulluck's 118^th consecutive start. That is pretty dang impressive by a linebacker.

The Titans organization is doing a Code Blue again for this game, in case you haven't heard yet. It was a neat idea last year, but it seems to me like the whole insertcolorhere-out has jumped the shark. The good news is that I get to wear a Titans' shirt to work on Friday because of this.

This is the Sunday Night Game of the Week so the broadcast will be handled by Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth.

Not even sure....

I want to watch this game. I think our only hope is that the team comes out so damn pissed that the entire Cults starting lineup can’t play past the half due to the beating they receive. And I hate cheering for injuries to others. Add to this the fact that my in-laws are all Cults fans, and I’m looking at one miserable Sunday night.

Sorry, I’m a bit of a pessimist right now. Hopefully something will get me excited about this game between now and Sunday.

I am eager to watch it

1. I don’t see any reason why the Colts game shouldn’t be our surprise turnaround game for the season (hope springs eternal).
2. I CAN watch it. (this one will be broadcast in Austin, while most Sundays I have to search the sports bars to find it on.)

Hey man, I’m in Austin too.

Sometimes

I watch the game at the Flying Saucer in the Triangle. Have you ever gone there?

BTW

that IS one good reason to start Vince. Then the local Austin stations will go back to carrying the Titans (like 06 and 07), and I can watch the games from the comfort of my own home again. As it is now, we get subjected to the Texans games. How bad is that?!?

Code Blue

I’m sure it seemed like a great idea when they first thought of it. Of course, in light of the current situation, it’s hard to ignore the real meaning of Code Blue as the code hospitals use for a patient in dire need of resuscitation.

Don’t hate on Madden! HE ROCKS!

Let me make sure I have my facts straight

We’re 0-4, and you guys are worried about who the announcers will be. :-)

Thanks, Jimmy

There’s way too much horse play in the training room. In fact, everybody drop to the floor and give me 50 push-ups!

i was thinking it would be more like Code Blow Out

if we don’t fix the defensive problems.

I'm eager to watch.....

just because I’d consider putting a shank into Indy’s early playoff positioning a moral victory.

Titans game on Sunday Night

I’m friggin’ pumped that the Titans are back in town for a game- I’ll be the guy that’s yelling his ass off in 306.

If you don’t want to watch it, nobody is stopping you. Seems a little soon for the fair-weather fans to be packing it in, but that’s life I guess.

That’s ok- there’s plenty of people who want to buy your tickets.

not fair weather....

Just reality. The truth is, I’ll watch it because it’s a Titans game that will be on TV here in Indy. At least with low expectations, I can’t be disappointed. Of course, I would love nothing more than to sign in here on Monday and post about how wrong I was. The good news is I still think Indy can be the answer to our “slow developing” run game.

Need a Victory here

Living in Indiana and listening to Colts fan tear my team down kills me. So this game is huge for me. I did so much shit talking before the year started and now it is biting me in the ass hard. One win here and they leave me alone for a little while.

agree

I didn’t talk any $hit, but I certainly sported my “Division Champs” hat all summer long to rub it in. Cults fans can be pretty relentless. They obviously don’t take any notes from their “good mannered” team…..

Really?

How many of us have been over here giving you guys a hard time? One? Two? Perhaps three?

still glad...

its a div opp. although i wasnt so happy at the end of last sunday, but w/ garrard he is either going to show up or not, w/ peyton we should know we have to bring our A game. sh*t…A+! although it is a big possiblitiy he will shred us for a few hundred yards, its whether he can put it in the endzone is what im interested in, we’ve always been a bend but dont break D. im hopin finny can come back and w/ harp most likely still out he’ll be covering wayne and it wont be so bad w/ mouty taking on the 2nd receiver(as he will play more close up without the fear of being burned too bad). as i think that will be the defensive set up, correct me if im wrong.

still think we can get it done this sunday, and hopefully get some hits on peyton, b/c nothing makes me smile more than seeing manning pick himself up off the floor after taking a shot. and heres fingers crossed for KC. b/c all in all, ill never give up on these guys, ppl can say what they want fish is a great coach that does put his teams in the position to win….he cant step out on the field and do it himself.
