Who is calling the game today? It seems CBS has had a big shakeup. I haven't been paying attention.

Their z team, Logan something or another, former player, no sure on the play play guy, they stink, I ignore them now

[tsylvester]

Colts moving down the field easily, and Humphrey is hurt now, cramp? Oh, faking it to give his boys a rest 

[tsylvester]

From the 9

Jones plenty of time, hits Warren short who walks through 2 defenders for 6. 7 plays 2 mins

The  team. Got it!

[tsylvester]

10:26 left in the game, the defense is clearly gassed for the Ravens, this could be scary

[tsylvester]

Moore returns the kickoff to the 30.

10:22

Henry left side, cuts back up the middle for 6

Same play gets Henry 5

Henry left side trips for 2

Lamar half hearted play fake, rolls right, hits Andrews for 13

Henry right end for 1

Approaching 7 mins

Lamar to Hill on a swing pass gets 12

Henry cuts up the middle gets 6

Hill has nowhere to go on the right end

3rd and 4

5 mins

Hill up the middle for 2

4th and 3

Better kick the field goal

 

[tsylvester]

Time out with 4:13, that is the way to eat a game clock, feed it to Henry

Loop tries from 45 right hash 

Got it!

41-23

[deeshopper]

At least the two minute warning is coming up and it's the fourth quarter!

[tsylvester]

Kick off it to the 4, returns it 66 yards to the Ravens 30

Jones felt the pressure from Hendrickson and Robinson, throws it away

Jones forced to dump it down, 

3rd and 6

Jones runs for his life from Jones and Robinson, throws it away 

4th and 6

3:27

Delay of game

4th and 11

Oh, Hawkins and Starks had a picnic and just devoured Jones in the back field

[tsylvester]

Ravens take over

Henry starts up the middle, breaks outside for 9

Hill right end for 7

Should take us to the 2min warning

[tsylvester]

Phew, had me a bit worried at the beginning, but live the pressure from the front 4, just combine it with press man coverage to give them time

Overall, the penalties were atrocious, I mean it, 11, 12? Had this been a close game, they may have caused a loss.

Definitely!

I tried watching the Vikes game, but JJ Watt and Jim Nantz are not good together, yuk. Even worse, if that is possible, is Brady doing the Eagles vs Comandos game, ew yuk.

I thought it was a good game with definitely some deficiencies noted. Penalties on O were a real problem. D-pass rush on first Indy series was non-existent but then accelerated thereafter. Indy has a good offensive and defensive line and they're a good team so have to give them some credit, especially for not folding.

Zay had a stupendous game going until his injured hammy acted up. Anybody know how serious Lane's wrist injury is? Henry was magnificent!

All in all, a good shakedown cruise against a decent team. 

The team will be learning things on offense and defense for at least the first 5-6 games because there was no competition for the 1's in pre-season. Fortunately, we now have the easiest schedule for those weeks coming up.

Yeah, JJ and Nantz were almost as bad as the slugs we had. They need another Tony Romo (one who doesn't drink and drive) to go with Nantz.

[tsylvester]

We'll find out more about Lane's injury tomorrow.

In case you missed it, here is Minter post game

My assessment.  The pass blocking has some major issues.  The dl is not very stout against the run.  I really didn’t like Lamar having a big laugh post fumble.  
it’s game 1 so a full understanding of this team will come in 3 games.
