Manning to start Colts opener
Stop your worrying. Stop your grousing. The Franchise, Peyton Manning, will be ready to go when the Indianapolis Colts open the season Sept. 7 against the Chicago Bears. Seriously, was there ever a question? "I would be shocked if (Manning) isn't there (for the season opener),'' coach Tony Dungy said after Thursday night's typically unwatchable preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. "He'd have to have a dramatic setback (to miss the game).'' By setback, he means "getting hit by a bus.''

Does anyone think the Colts are toast this year because of their exh play?
Me neither... and the Patriots aren't done either. Looking forward to the real games. It's going to be a fun year.

The AFC will be just like last year Colts, Patriots, and Chargers will be battling it out to see who goes to the superbowl. The NFC on the other hand is hard to predict, but Seattle will definitely be contending in the playoffs along with the cowboys(unfortunately).

"Manning to start Colts opener"
Hey, Payton! Look at this watch swinging in front of your eyes ..... concentrate now ....... you're getting sleepier ...... and sleepier ...... you're eyes are getting heavier ... and now they're closed! When you wake up you won't remember any of this but when you hear the words "Bears" and "Chicago" you'll feel intense pain in your knee! Do you understand me? Good! Now .... at the count of three .....! (A Bears fan)

Man! From what I saw last night and the previous 3 games, it's going to be a loooooooong season for the Bears! Their D looks terrible! And their O looks just as good!

Never a doubt. The question now though is do they keep 3 QBs on the depth chart or just go back to keeping Sorgi and Manning on there?

the way our defense has been playing i think Orton would have to be Peyton Manning for a week (maybe the whole damn year to tell you ppl the truth) to pull off ANY victories...
i think it'll be a much better game though than even I expect it to be haha

The Browns 0-4 in pre-season. Got beat up by a not very good Bears team last night. Yep! The Browns are going to the SuperBowl! That is ........ if they can get tickets for the big game!

It's smart to sit your best players and not reveal much of your playbook in the preseason. Preseason games only allow the staff to make their final cuts and get their backups work. BROWNS DOMINATE THIS SEASON! GO BROWNS!
