From high up in the Lucas Oil Stadium press box, it’s almost an aerial view of the field. This is easily the highest above the field we’ve been this season, but it should be interesting to watch as plays develop.
It’s a gloomy day in Indianapolis, but you’d never know in the stadium. An announcement was just made that the gates are open, and fans are slowly making their way toward their seats. A few player are already on the field warming up, including Kyle Orton, Marcus Thomas, Darcel McBath, Alphonso Smith and Chris Simms.
Speaking of the gloomy day, normally we would put the weather report here, but obviously with the contest being played in a dome, it won’t affect anything come game time.
We’ll post the inactives as soon as we get them, and Zach Eisendrath is on the field taking pregame pictures as we speak.
For the Broncos, Tom Brandstater, David Bruton, LaMont Jordan, Seth Olsen, Herb Taylor, Chris Baker, Brandon Lloyd and Le Kevin Smith are inactive for today’s game. Brandstater is listed as the team’s third quarterback.
Players from both teams are on the field — the Broncos are wearing all-white uniforms, while the Colts will don thier traditional home blue jerseys with white pants.
Just got some pregame photos from Zach Eisendrath.
12:15 p.m. EST: Both teams are on the field in full. The Broncos are jogging from the end zone to about the 25-yard line and back, and the Colts are spread out, stretching on the other end of the field. Phil Collins’ “In The Air Tonight” is blaring through the speakers, and the stadium is slowly but surely filling up.
12:31 p.m. EST: The Broncos and Colts are running plays from opposite end zones. But now it looks like the Colts are finished with their set of plays, as the players in blue ran threw the tunnel to cheers from the currently sparse crowd. Now the Broncos are running into their tunnel as we are a little less than a half-hour away from kickoff.
12:53 p.m. EST: The Broncos have run onto the field led by Darrell Reid and Knowshon Moreno, who both run to the center of the field and stand for a moment. Reid, as you might recall, used to play in Indianapolis. The stadium is filling up and the crowd rains down a few boos onto the team. Now the Colts cheerleaders are lined up outside their tunnel, waiting for the players to run through — and here they come. The Colts have elected to introduce their offense.
12:56 p.m. EST: We’re minutes away from kickoff, and a giant American flag is being unfurled onto the field. It’s time for the National Anthem. See you in the first half live blog.

The last 5 games have been rough and this will surely be a tough game but as always Iam baking them 100% and even a feild goal win would make me a happy camper GO BRONCS
Desertdaqg, are out of SoCal
too early cant spell. Desertdawg, are out of SoCal
Obviously camper man hasn’t watched the previous TWO games. Rough is hardly a word I would use to describe our current winning streak. Broncos are a scary team to play right now!
Every one alredy has this as a loss for our Broncos…
And to that I say…. We’ll see. Any given Sunday!!
Lets hear it Broncos Country!!!
Three weeks ago with our inabliity to score, I’d have said the same thing, but with Clady on Freeney today, Indy only has half a pass rush. Orton! Orton! Orton!
I created a stupid Facebook page just so I could go onto COLTS.com and leave some nasty messages about their boys. All i got to say is
BRONCOS, just play hard. If we dont beat the colts today on the scoreboard, I hope we at least beat their ass and bruise them up a little.
Or alot, I mean…..
LETS GET READY FOR INDY BRONCOS COUNTRY!
we got this, GO BRONCOS!!!! BEAT THE COLTS
Im so pumped for this game…always called us to derail the colts. Hope im not wrong. Everyoen seems in high spirits…Thats a good thing
Hahahaha, Look at Marshall….Only shake the one with your Jersey on lol. Bear Jerseys get no love from broncos fans lmao….Im sure he shook her too
GO BRONCOS.
Been a bit awol but heres my prediction
BRONCOS:24
COLTS:17
Man i was so confident now im starting to freak a cookie!! SOME ONE SLAP ME AND HELP ME GET IT TOGEATHER!! im terrified of this game now lol and im so scared to see whats going to happen..
Sorgi is on IR… destroy Peyton, they only have a rookie to put in!!!
This is Broncos Country!!!
i have sunday ticket yes i get to watch the game yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Send word to the Offensive Line Bench… Fans are with them. While today’s game does not mean much toward the playoffs, it is huge to make a statement that the Broncos are a contender. A win in Indianapolis today is absolutely in the cards for Denver, and the Offensive Line playing their best game ever is the key. Denver Defense will give Manning and company fits, when they can get on the field. A balanced attack both O and D will give players the freshness they need in the fourth quarter when Indy traditionally pulls their magic out of the hat. If the Broncos are fresh in the fourth quarter, and the Offensive Line has played their best game, count Denver in the W column.
Clady needs to be on the top of his game today.
Already have an injury. That is some crap.
omg we already have someone down
lets not worry though he’ll be alright
this game is blacked out for me, are the corners not playing tight?
damn so close to keeping them to 3
we have to play mistake free football to beat the colts that means no silly pentalies or turnovers
