We were all ready for some football with the first preseason game scheduled to kick off Sunday. But as news started to spread that the game between the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts was cancelled due to poor field conditions, players and fans expressed their disappointment.

From Colts LB D'Qwell Jackson: 'It sucks but the conditions of the field weren't safe for any player on either roster.' @nflnetwork

But not everyone was broken up about the game getting called.
