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. Not getting worked up at all. Others are getting worked up because I am speaking the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luck is Good Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 If ever the Colts got a TD today, Pope should've been the person to do it. He looked good today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douzer Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Only TD of the day comes with Morris at QB. He should be getting the reps in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The colts do not have to reduce the roster from 90 to 53 until 4:00 EST September 2, 2017. There are no intermediate cut-down day(s) anymore.

Ryan Fitzpatrick from the New York Jets who now backs up Jameis Winston in Tampa Bay and replaces Mike Glennon in Chicago who replaces Jay Cutler who went to Miami to replace Ryan Tannehill who is injured.

dgambill Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I was happy about how our starting and second string lbs and safeties played....and how Pope looked....everything else was not impressive at all. Let's see how we make the leap from game 1 to game 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradford is not that bad. He is just too conservative for me. I wish he would take more chances like Luck does. I dont mind Luck's INTs as much as others do; sometimes INTs are better than punts. Bradford does not show a sense of urgency when he should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem with Andrew though is that he tries it too much. I still think the Colts offense would be better suited to adapt to a shorter passing game plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big drop-off from the 1's to the 2's. Even saying that is only speculation, though, since we didn't see a lot of 1's play. It could be worse... but it could also be better. I just wish we could get rid of all of these injuries. I know they happen, but you can't really evaluate a front line if it's not playing against other NFL 1's.

oldunclemark Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 They're not trying to 'sell us' the backup QB. You have to play somebody in the pre-season Without Luck, we cannot compete in our division. All fans should realize that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
