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.

 

Not getting worked up at all. 

 

Others are getting worked up because I am speaking the truth. 

[Luck is Good]

If ever the Colts got a TD today, Pope should've been the person to do it. He looked good today

[PrincetonTiger]

Fischer is in his NCAA days

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

He didn't practice much this week. Shoulder injury.

[Douzer]

Only TD of the day comes with Morris at QB. He should be getting the reps in practice.

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. 

 

You were not impressed with anyone???

I did not say that. 

 

Their were several no one should have been impressed with.

Thought Quincy Wilson looked good. He gave up a few catches but he had good coverage and did a good job tackling.

JoJo Natson has a little Tyreek Hill in him. 

 

He deserves to stay another week.

You all (and others here) may or may not know...  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.  Get to keep all 90 until 9/2/17 @4pm

Colts just need to go buy a backup QB

Yeah. We knew that. 

 

Cut down day will be easy this year.

Yes, I agree. I saw that Basham made a play or two. This Pope kid looks good too.

What about Fitzpatrick? Isn't he available? He should at least be better than Tolzien.

[braveheartcolt]

I wish we had a cut down day on this forum.......

 

[Luck is Good]

The only two players on offense that looked alright were Natson and Pope. Lot more positives with the defense today

That is why I was surprised that the Bucs cut Aguayo. And reportedly put it on Hard Knocks!! How classy.

Seems like there's been a lot of energy spent on selling Tolzien/Walker to Colts fans. Both failed my eye test today. There has also been a sales job to have us forget Morris. Well it's not working on me, I still like Morris better. What I saw looked more like rust from not getting reps in practice.

That Lions QB (Rudock?) was very impressive. I would trade for him. 

 

Do you want Sam Bradford?

I liked Natson too. I like how he was running those kick offs. Looked fast and fearless.

I wouldn't want Fitzpatrick at all

Yeah. I agree. 

 

Makes ZERO sense to me either.

If it were between Fitzpatrick and Bradford, I'd take the latter. No doubt about it

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.

I liked his north/south instinct. I hate wussies who run straight to the sidelines.

Detroit had a lot of guys look really good.

He is awful.

[dgambill]

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.

[Luck is Good]

Natson could be more of a threat than Dorsett. He was just a bad pick

Oh, absolutely. 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.

Correction: We made a lot of guys for Detroit look really good. 

 

Fairly easy to see that Detroit had much better overall talent on the second and third teams.

You have to try to throw the ball down the field. 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

[Farns01]

To quote Rob Schneider in the Waterboy "Oh no, we suck again"  

 

How in the world can we evaluate WR's with these QB's

That I agree with.  Our depth is not as deep as I thought it was.  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.

You sound very disappointed. It will get better. Many of your starters did not play.

I will check him out next game. If he played today I missed him. I think anyone would be better than Tolzien. JMO of course.

Agree ^^^

[oldunclemark]

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
