Colts 4-0 in preseason?

[Dr. T]

Usually it's the quality of the second and third string QBs that determine who wins and loses in preseason. With Hasselbeck and Harnish, we have a good chance to sweep.

It could be a little different than what we are used to.

Does anyone really care about our preseason record? I'm just hoping we're 0 for injuries. But yes, I agree, we want our 2nd team to win their assignments.

Remember, Detroit once went 4-0 in the preseason and 0-16 in the real games.

I think will go 3-1 but i doubt Hasselbeck plays no more then a series in the final game. Will see Harnish play a lot vs the Bengals.

Respectfully....

 

 

I don't know what our record will be and I don't really much care.....   well,  I don't want to go 0-4,  but pre-season records mean almost nothing to me.

 

As someone else noted, the only things I care about are....

 

1.   No serious injuries and as few injuries overall as possible.

 

2.   Everyone the coaches need to see, they get a good long look at.

 

3.   Communication issues with new coaches are ironed out.    

 

 

The NY Giants should be good and they're at home....   the Bengals should be very good and they're at home,  though it is game 4, so who knows how much anyone will play.    Still,  they have a very good roster.   Finally,  even Cleveland looked very much improved in their first game with emphasis going to Brandon Weeden.   Good for him.  

 

Ultimately, the point is history shows teams go 4-0 in the preseason and struggle during the regular season,  and,  just as important,  go 0-4 in preseason and have very successful winning records in the regular season.

 

Health is priority one.......   playing time for everyone is priority two....   everything else falls into place....

I could care less if we win 4 or lose 4...but I will say we have a lot of talented guys that are going to be fighting pretty hard to make the team, so at the very least the games should be entertaining.

Going 4-0 in the preseason is never a good idea.

little different, with previous FO if they won it was a shocker & u felt season was doomed

 

They loved to lose in what they called there evaluation process

[CanuckColt]

I don't care about our preseason record...0-4 is OK as long as we get a few 'keepers' emerging from the action that we did not expect to have.

[sreylas937]

For most of those years that we kept making the playoffs with Manning we sucked in the preseason, I can care less if we go 0-4 in preseason as long as we are healthy and gain chemistry

[Stephen]

Teams that go 0 and 4 in preseason have terrible depth.

Like Coach Dungy, I'm not too worried about the preseason record.  A happy, healthy and hungry Monster would be a great way to begin the regular season.

 

I forgot about the Lions forgettable season.  Guess that means Detroit has been bankrupt before eh?

 

Matt Mullen for Mayor??? Not

[Narcosys]

NO, because we have NEVER been 4-0.  Best i think we have done was 3-1.  Typically 2-2 and thats what i am going with.  Then again.  ITS PRESEASON!!!  it matters about as much 

[Ja'Crispy]

I prefer winning 0-1 preseason games and then 10+ regular season. Of course they aren't directly correlated, but I like how it has been in the past. But, as we can all agree, the most important thing is stay healthy.

[House]

I don't think we're going to win this game lol.

[Dr. T]

NEVERMIND.

[Deathiltis]

3-1 here we come

Nope!  Maybe next year!

Pagano looked like he was going to explode in the post game interview. Heads are going to roll for sure.

Colts basically have to win out to have any shot at the playoffs from here so yeah I guess they would.
