That McNamay backup K might be worse than Narveson.

Yea that guy is blowing his chances majorly. It's even worse as they are in a climate controlled dome.

outsmarting themselves

What weird is it was obvious the Stick was EXACTLY on the 20yard line. The ball was a good 4-5” over the Line. You could be in Row 75 and see that was a 1st Down. Not sure what the point was for the Refs other than to waste our time.

Wow, we won. Whaddya know? Not exactly the feel good win of the year, but I'll take it.

 

[Zartan]

Uh what just happened?

They said it was an incomplete pass or something?

 

[OldSchool101]

These Colts Announcers are something.

The reason J Woods fumbled the ball on the chalk and clearly used the ground. Woods didn’t maintain possession. Have to hold onto the ball and it got jarred out into the ground. No catch. Nice try though but Notta!

Nothing to do with his feet. Fudged a bullet! Heck we missed 3pt FG shanked wide FROM LIKE 39 yards. This should’ve never been this close.

Once Indi put there 2’s against ours it was all GB.

20-6 GB after Halftime

Not to mention how easy would it be for the NFL to manipulate that crap? They already have problems with credibility.

Ball came loose when it hit the ground. Have to maintain control all the way.

Couldn't care less about a preseason "win." The real win is apparently no major injuries.

Aaron Mosby and Stack just missed a tackle on QB Leonard.

Christian Welch looks good thus far.

From what Mike Spofford said: " Welch continues to make plays in August. " Maybe he can leave his wall calendar up for August all season.

23 accepted penalties in the game. I hope the season does not begin so yellow. It drives everyone up a wall.

Dez Bryant channeling.

Agree. Welch might not be a game wrecker, but he’s consistently good. I recall him standing out a couple of Preseasons ago in GB. I think he’s an easy PS type offer. He’s always around the ball. Reminds me of young McDuffie in that respect.

Our RB’s had 76 yards Receiving. Like Lloyd’s hands. He got behind the D and scooped a nice Catch for a huge 30+ gain. Lloyd will punish you in space in the Passing game. He was one of the Top “yards per Catch” RB’s in College. This is just the beginning of a continuation of how he’s sneaky good in the Passing game.

Football is becoming more and more unplayable every year.

Even though it is a preseason game you have to sift through the record books to find the last time the Packers won a game in Indy. Or for that matter against the Colt franchise on the road.

omg i loathe spofford hes a horrible analyst and overpaid team paid cheerleader!!

What I got is we have 6 good running backs. And one of them looked good running back kickoffs. We need to hold on to the Canadien QB. He's big and he can throw. Welch...meh. A poor man's LB. We seem to have one every year who also always seems to be a fan favorite. And the foreign kicker was very bad.

Well, he has been there a long time. He is just as critical as he is praiseworthy. He was in the Packer locker room in Seattle right after the famous Fail Mary. True, the Packers are his family. I am sure he wants a title as much as we do.

Preseason is a chance for kickers to try and land a job somewhere, anywhere. And it can be disappointing. Remember Brett Conway? His failure and injury brought us Ryan Longwell.

I do remember Conway. Since he was a draft pick; we probably would have kept him even though Lingwell was obviously better. Luckily he got hurt. He still had another chance with the Redskins.

Agree on Elgersma. Might’ve should’ve posted an INT but overall he plays with poise. He can also Run which helps his cause. Both him and Clifford underthrew a few big plays, but both played admirable.

Tale of 2 Halves.

1st half
11 Penalties for -85 yards

1 missed XP
1 TD nullified by Penalty

2nd Half
1 Penalty for -10 yards
O Turnovers
3 Drives= TD, TD, TD

Yeah, incomplete pass.

 

[JoePack]

1st half so-so but came alive the 2nd half. Several players stood out and maybe survive the cut. Defensive backfield still average.
I'll give MLF credit but still don't think he's SB material.
A tough regular season schedule, so making the playoffs will be difficult.
Maybe will see a few starters next game.
