I know we usually stink it up in the preseason but this is atrocious. It always seems like we are manhandled in the preseason that we looked so unprepared. No game plan and just loss of control by Pagano he's the head coach, it's on him

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

20 seasons of preseason games - trust me, it doesn't matter.  This team, without its QB - Manning or Luck - has no prayer.  When they don't play, when they play sparingly in preseason, you see just how weak and thin these teams are.  Perhaps Ballard can change that with a few more drafts, but 2017 looks like the same old same old.

 

Pray Luck is back.

I still dream of the day when the Colts actually get a 'real' backup QB.  These UDFA's aren't showing winning NFL caliber skills. Good backups cost, either $$ (Matt Hasselbeck) or draft pick (many other NFL teams backups to their starter- for one Brady / Garapolo etc...

Rick Venturi just said exactly what I am saying.  

 

This team will not have a lot of depth this year. We can't sugarcoat that. 

 

Call it like it is Colts fans! We are better than making excuses for this terrible performance.

I agree for the most part. However, the lack of the ability to move the ball has been on the quarterbacks and o-lines run blocking. Defense has been stout, just on the field for 40 minutes of play. Allowing 24 points in that span isn't bad IMO.

Ok we sucked, I get it. You do realize the year we won the SB we didn't win a game in pre-season. It's 1 game in pre-season.

Yeah I'm not overly worried. This performance is terrible though. Have to be better. Much better

 

Vikings fans were complaining too. We won the game 17-10 but many thought that the Bills looked a lot better, especially their first team. Our pass rush was in mid-season form but we could not stop the run at all. Our first team offense, outside of what Dalvin Cook did, was uninspiring.

 

Let's see what happens the next two games. 

 

Has Mack made an appearance?

I don't think anyone is making excuses. We all saw the game. We stunk. But a preseason game is not enough to get worked up about, at least IMO. A lot of these guys playing terrible won't even be on the team 2-3 weeks from now.

I am not even worried at all. Once Luck gets healthy we will be fine.

No Mack hasn't made an appearance. I don't know why

I agree... I will give you two of my defensive guys for Luck, even injured. :)

Sure. I am well aware of that. 

 

You do do realize we had several highly paid players on those teams too, right?

 

When we pay about 10 players 70% of the salary then we have some excuse for the lack of depth. 

 

If if you can't see how bad the depth on this team is right now then you're blind as a bat!

I'm glad you're so confident. I get tired of having to rely on the QB all the time to bail us out. They need a complete team around Andrew

It's just not that, I think our Defense will be better too.

The sun on the field must make it hard to find receivers.

 

It is also pretty hard on a lot of these Colts players to play a game they don't have enough talent to play in.
