I used it to watch a lot of football, but I can't say it was worth $480. I was already getting the vast majority of Bengals and Colts games during the 1 o'clock time slot. And, the nationally televised game I would get at 4 was usually the game I preferred in that time slot anyway. $480 to get m the 1 or 2 Bengals games not shown in the Louisville market? Nah, I'll pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 Still don't understand the Colts philosophy on not playing the starters in the second game. They say it is because of the joint practice with the Cardinals but still not the same as game conditions. You think an organization that hasn't won a season opener since 2013 would try doing things differently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 I can't get over the new kickoff rule... Why even bother? Just give it to the away team at the beginning of the game, the home team after halftime, and the defending team after a score at their own 25 and be done with it...

btownqb Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Nick Cross was good again. Even the football great Rick Venturi raved about him the entire 1H. Carlies, Adebawore, Dayo, Land, and Olubi all looked really good. RBs 3-5 were excellent. I like Bean too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 After the Falcons game yesterday they asked why Penix didn't play? Raheem Morris said he showed us enough last week we don't need to play him in the preseason. No clue what the Falcons are doing or will do. Would be funny if Cousins ended up back in Minny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand what the issue is? Its literally the same thing with... not as much impact. They made the kickoffs matter again with the rules installed. Again, I love it. I don't think it's applicable in HS because very few have good kickers, but... yeah. I was really hesitant at first... Watching the Colts two preseason games.. I'm a fan.

This one is for player safety, and I understand that (except for the kicker, who's on an island if the runner does break through the initial line)...So why not just start the ball at the 25 and eliminate it all together...And pretty much doing away with the onside kick, well, I can see where you Colts fans don't mind that after what Sean Payton pulled in the SB 50 minutes ago, btownqb said: Its literally the same thing with... not as much impact. As I said, not much more than a play from scrimmage...There was nothing more exciting than a kickoff when Devin Hester, or Billy Johnson was back for a traditional kickoff...Most exciting play in football... But, those days are over. Substituting a watered down version doesn't do anything to make the game more exciting, IMHO...

When I saw this news, my first thought was that Cousins won't be ready for Week 1 and the Falcons don't want to expose Penix to injury. Whether that is the reason and whether i agree with it if that's the case, is another story. Just theorizing as to why they might take this approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's enhanced and they return the kick. The new rule will cultivate MORE KORs for TDs then the old model... like without a doubt. Devin Hester would eat in this model. The onside kick is interesting. Probs not a fan, but we'll see. Yes, Payton got us in the super bowl. But uh.. are you a Bears fan? 🙈🙈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
