New Orleans @ Indianapolis (8-23-14)

[oldunclemark]

McAfee's getting work

[k9copinmd]

If this was their dress rehearsal for the regular season then the tomatoes were flying and the curtain dropped early. Seriously though the D-line has been getting no push at all. Saints QBs have had a VERY easy night. On the flip side the O-line looks horrible...no push to run...no blocks to pass. How many times over the years are we gonna have to say Luck is gonna get hurt before it actually happens.

[dgouvion]

Secondary is the same as last years giving up big chunks of passing yardage that leads to the the other team scoring. That forced Luck to carry the team and put up lots of points.

[Coltsman1788]

Not after what happened to the 2nd string last week....remember?

That was the 3rd string in the 4th quarter that blew the Giants game. Our 1st and 2nd looked good against them.

[oldunclemark]

Got to pull Luck out now....some Saint scrub may have gotten 5 bills to take him out

[busterb]

Most pro qbs will make the secondary look bad when they got time for tea and crumpets before throwing the ball.

[oldunclemark]

That was the 3rd string in the 4th quarter that blew the Giants game. Our 1st and 2nd looked good against them.

Exactly my point...that's what these games are for...the end of the roster

[TheBlueAndWhite]

Maybe its a good thing were getting our butts kicked this preseason. Hopefully it makes them hungry to win come the regular season.

[LordHelpOurColts]

Nice plays from Toler

[Flash7]

Our first string vs their first string = Saints advantage

 

Our first string vs their second string = Saints advantage

 

Our first string vs. their third string = even matchup.

[busterb]

Another thing this reminds me of .... the "slow starts" of 2013

[Coltsman1788]

Exactly my point...that's what these games are for...the end of the roster

I realize that but a win tonight does nothing to negate what actually happened when our starters were matched up with theirs which was my point.

No one said it did..

I said there is value to the end of exhibition games..

..and you said it doesnt really matter. It does. We both agree it does.

[Loneranger]

Herron might be our best RB.

[the cardinal]

Painful announcing. The national guys simply aren't equipped to call preseason games. Not that local broadcasts are any better...

Stinker games like this are always tough to call.

[oldunclemark]

wow...our backup line cant open many holes either

[busterb]

I think Herron has shown enough to be #3 and maybe more.

[Coltsman1788]

Herron might be our best RB.

But he can't get across the goal line either. Lol

True..the 2nd half of exihibition game s is torture for network announcetrs because they don't know who or what they're seeing

[Coltsman1788]

I like Hasselback. Good back up to have.

[pgt_rob]

And.... Int. Lol

[Coltsman1788]

I like Hasselback. Good back up to have.

Dang...interception. Shouldn't have complimented a Colts player. Lmbo

[dgouvion]

I would have like to seen a screen or boot leg on that first down. Running it in is not going to happen and now we have an interception. I believe Luck had some luck with that.

[pgt_rob]

Haven't seen much of Studebaker. He was mowing them down last week.

[HtownColt]

Can't wait until preseason is over, counting down the days

[pgt_rob]

I was just too soon! Studebaker for the killing of #4 Griffin QB!

[pgt_rob]

BOOM Herron for #1 RB.

[Coltsman1788]

BOOM Herron for #1 RB.

I would actually like to see him get some carries with the starters so we can get a better read on him. He has certainly had the best preseason of our backs though.

IA, but I was talking about the mistakes, like calling Da'rick a rook or implying that the 3rd pick was fighting for roster spot.  It's really tough for national guys to sound "informed" about rosters this size. Meeting with the coaches during the week isn't enough.

[Coltsman1788]

Lol...Kerr is a fat boy!

[SMett]

Kerr is a beast of a rookie.

[kansascolt]

I thought Trent looked good tonight. Patient and has a nice burst. Did he average about 4 yards a carry? Never seen a stat. Loving that developing chemistry between luck and nicks. Defense still needs work.

2.8, 8 of his 17 yards came on one play

[akcolt]

Kerr with a big stop he is going to make the final 53  Lenz just got cut for sure

[Dustin]

Kerr is better than RJF

[Dustin]

Kerr is amazing

[pgt_rob]

Lenz pretty much renig on his td catch.

[Coltsman1788]

Back to back good plays by Muamba. He and Kerr looking good tonight.

[Gavin]

There goes Manusky getting stupid again, Muamba on a WR? Glad it did not cost the team but still he does that sometimes during the regular season
