Carolina welcomes the defending Super Bowl champs to Bank of America Stadium this week. The Panthers are fresh off a bye while the Colts are playing their second straight road game on a short week.
The Colts have one of the most potent offenses in the NFL. They’re led by one of the best quarterbacks in […]

Lets get to the grades…
Offense:  
Vinny Vinny Vinny. How can you come in after two days of practice and perform better than David Carr who has been through a full training camp. You truly are an old old man among boys. Good on ya. Vinny already knows something […]
