When have we ever been good in pre-season? We sucked in pre-season when Peyton was here.

 

So. That does not make it ok. 

 

This is absolutely terrible, and we should never be ok with this horrible performance. 

 

Many of these backups need to be cut in about 30 minutes. No point in pretending they can play in the NFL. They need a new career, because their days of playing football should have never brought them this far.

A bit harsh there for game 1 of the pre-season.

Not a good impression by Stephen Morris to fumble on his first series

1st he's demoted to 4th string, then he fumbles when he finally gets on the field. We'll have to see what that does to his confidence.

I wasn't expecting Grigson's mess to be cleaned up in one offseason, but was hoping to at least see some encouraging signs.  Looks like the same old same old.  Just hope the QB is back and can carry us.

 

It is just the first preseason game. Wait til the third game.

This is not a league where they hand out participation trophies. 

 

Take off your Colts glasses and call it like it is.

Players at this level deserve praise when they play well, and they deserve criticism when they do not. And it's very clear that many of these Colts players do not even belong. 

 

Cuts will not be as hard as people thought.

Absolutely. Participation trophies are for pee wees. This is a man's league and a man's game. Not everyone gets a trophy. Can't stand that crap

    • Understand... but why do you say that Jones will ever have to face his HC again?   Would you just like him to be placed in reserve list and the franchise releasing him by the end of the year or contract?   I think releasing him would do similar favor as he could get the help he needs and get back to NFL proving he's healed mentally. As he's a great player, some team would get him next year if he's back to his old self.   He can still salvage his career but more importantly he needs his family to take care of him and get the assistance he needs. I think releasing him would make him focus on getting back to NFL if he wants, or at least let him free to heal and move on towards next chapter in life.   Team could've placed him on a reserve list, I don't think there's any problem doing that technically, but either way he's been done a favor to get back to focus on his health.    He could still receive pension, retirement & veteran benefits from the league, right? 
    • Irsay also let one of his all time favorites Edge, who also happens to be a running back, walk in free agency.
    • I have always liked the vikes. They are a old time original team with past legends and success. But in modern times it seems the Football Gods frown on them from having too much success... just a season here and there usually followed by mediocre or worse play. They are similar to the Colts minus Manning/Polian era, not like franchises historically brownies, lions,cards,jets etc... But not like the top franchises that when good go to super bowls.  That's why I hope colt fans enjoy this season if they have some success and not look  into the next few years of building and expecting a Super Bowl team. NFL team building isn't necessarily linear and teams like the colts & vikes can be like yo yo's....up one year, down the next.  I know fans have been wanting to move on from Cousins, but getting someone better/consistently elite  may be easier said then done but there seems to be multiple good QB prospects.    Do you remember Tarkenton?  I Remember him vaguely seen vids of him. He was quite a scrambler. And the Purple People eaters.    Anyway, I expect Cousins to be with the Jets soon.. I wish him success but that's difficult with that team.. LoL
    • Irsay is a fan at heart and has overpaid players he likes, Luck he stated he wanted to make him the highest paid player ever, and called Hilton asking what his number was. If JT just played that angle I bet he would have a had a deal by now. link below     https://coltswire.usatoday.com/2021/03/26/indianapolis-colts-ty-hilton-jim-irsay-close-deal/
