Luck looked like crap tonight

[GusFring]

No other way to say it. Not pushing the ball down field. Holding it way too long.

Doesnt help that Clarke can’t hold his blocks and he’s working without his best WR.

[PeterBowman]

Plus vanilla offense, plus shaking rust off, plus Bmores D is legit.

[boo2202]

He's hasn't played a meaningful game in two years!! How's he suppose to look, like a pro bowler? Going to be some upset people in here this year. I just want to see progress throughout the season. 

[Flash7]

I expected him to look rusty and be nervous, leading to poor play. That's what we got. It's alright, he's got to shake the rust off and get used to playing again. Growing pains....preseason...no biggy.

 

But he did look like crap, no other way around it. He'll get better.

[Calmack]

% blocking, no name receivers with little chemistry, and against a legit defense. Plus knocking off the rust. I'm not worried. 

[Architects08]

Im more concerned with our WR and RB situation. 

[Boiler_Colt]

We all watched it, theres really no debate to be had.

[Pacergeek]

Luck has always been a slow starter. I was hoping Pagano was the reason, but I fear this is who Andrew Luck is.

[Flash7]

Using B'more's defense as a reason for Luck's poor performance doesn't fly. This is the NFL.

 

He will be facing the Texan's defense with JJ Watt and Co. and he will face the Jaguars top rated D. 

 

Bottom line, he played poorly. It's the preseason and he hasn't played in forever. He's getting reacclimated and he'll get better.

[Yoshinator]

Luck hasn't thrown a td in two preseason games, definitely concerning. I'm actually questioning Coach Reich a bit as I figured he'd be able to compensate on offense with Luck back and he's been unable to do so. Right now, the 1st team offense looks like garbage, and that's with Luck. It's time to sign Dez IMO. When Hilton comes back, those two would be respectable along with Luck, Doyle and Ebron.

[CheezyColt]

Might have been able to sustain a drive a little better with Wilkins in. As soon as he got in he was finding holes to pumch through.

I worked late tonight, who started at rb?

[Two_pound]

How would you play knowing Clarke is your left tackle?

[BPindy]

He’ll be fine. I would’ve like to see him play the whole half though to continue knocking off some rust. Next week I guess but that’s the last chance he’ll get before it counts

All the experts keep pointing out how little talent the Colts have but we as fans dont want to believe it until we see it with our own eyes.

[2006Coltsbestever]

This didn't long. That being creating a Thread like this. Guy is still rusty (hasn't played a meaningful game since Dec of 2016) and doesn't have his best WR but whatever. Have it at boys, I am staying out of this negativity Thread.

[LockeDown]

The goal line interception, the back didn’t make any kind of play for that ball. That was awful.  But yeah, Luck didn’t look too good for the most part.  I think he will get a rhythm though. 

[IndyD4U]

Expected, no?

Not sure dez would help. A healthy Lt would. 

[Bravo]

Going to be some bad games from Luck.

 

More worried about the WR. Rogers is the only one with separation from the defenders and Doyle is making good catches. 

 

Grant looked terrible.

Ebron not flashing

Reciever's suck plain and simple i'm not surprised luck was off a little bit with those guys getting no separation.

[Fisticuffs111]

Crap? Not at all. I guess there hasn’t been much to write home about but there have been some positives. 

 

Sure, he hasn’t been dropping dimes 30 yards downfield but he has shown a willingness to extend the play and throw the ball into tight spaces. I do hope to see him go downfield at some point this preseason, but I also think the play calling has something to do with that. It’s clear that Reich is just trying to get him back into the swing of things.

Not to mention Protection wasn't great. They have things to clean up , but way early to be starting this. OL was probably 3 brand new players two being rookies.

What a thread...

Only a buffoon would start a negative thread abut Luck looking like crap. So don't let it bother you.

He said before that they had a lot of work to do to get to there finished product. 

[dodsworth]

There are going to be major growing pains the year with a rusty Luck,

a new offense with an o line with chemistry issues, a new defense along

with a whole new coaching staff. 

 

Reality has set in for a ton of Colts fans tonight.

[GoColts8818]

He was holding the ball too long tonight.  To me this speaks about his WRs than it does about him because no one is open.  I mean have we even heard Grants name yet?  The one play I will put on him was the INT he should have thrown that away and not tried to force it.

Only time they mention Grant was on his dropped pass. He has been invisible the past two games. Maybe we have a new "Ghost" in our receiving core.

Dez probably won’t happen, not with Ballard’s philosophy and his locker room issues. That’s a lot of distraction from one person. 

[Gramz]

No denying what We saw tonight. He didn't look confident, and held the ball too long, which he's done a lot, and didn't do as good as we'd all hoped.

 

It's been a long while since he's played and I am hopeful that things will improve.

 

 

[Bravo]

I will say that Wilkins has looked good so far.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Great thread.

[EastStreet]

he didn't play well, but.... there are a lot of buts...

Banged up OL, WR, and RB. Playing the Raven's D.

 

but sure, didn't play well.

nothing to chicken little though.

i'm just happy sizzle didn't break him in half.

 It's the second preseason game.   My goodness,  the panic in this forum is hilarious.   Dez isn't coming here.   Luck is rusty.  It's a new offense and coaching staff.  Good Lord,   hold your mudd.   I hate to see what happens in your life when real adversity happens

People acting like Dez is the missing piece is so laughable... has everyone already forgotten about the Andre Johnson experiment?

[Aluckiswolverine]

2 preseason games folks. Everything will be fine. Vanilla play calling and injuries. Let’s all step back from the ledge.

Oh yes, I forgot Dez and Andre were the same person, had the exact same DNA etc... Very poor argument.

[Jules]

I watched some and my biggest concern is still the team around Luck. I am willing to give Luck time since he's been out for quite a while.
