I agree however, Luck is a slow starter in most games. That's just who he is. He has really been a slow starter coming out of pre season and it's possibly due to his limited action in those games. 

Anyone who says they aren’t concerned about a slow start or how his calf will hold up is just lying to themselves. There is concern for both. We don’t have to panic but we should be concerned. We have to hope  the defense can get us through a game or two if that happens. Plus hoping lucks calf holds up.

I'm quite the opposite.   I don't care if they win or lose as long as they use the practice time effectively.  

 

The end result is meaningless. The amount of information you collect and take away from the game is everything as far as roster construction and developing young players. 

 

They'll be very vanilla on offense and defense as the matchups and individual performances are what is important for evaluation purposes. They'll get better as a unit over the next 4 weeks.

You're joking right?

 

A win in the preseason is meaningless.

 

It's all the other stuff that happens that is actually meaningful...  Injuries, penalties, missed assignments, wrong routes, didn't know the play, didn't make the play, couldn't find their helmet, etc.

Wins and losses are meaningless. no injuries and #2 QB getting work is valuable.  I just want to see us play, I have always loved our uniforms, the best in all of football.   They are iconic, traditional, just sublime!

I want to see how our young pass rushers are progressing with Turay, Banogu, Lewis, and Mohammed. 

No doubt. I need to see more of the pass rush...

I agree.    Kelly looked solid.   I know it is way too early, but I feel better about Kelly taking over the backup QB spot when Brissett is gone next season.

I think as a first preseason game it gave us some important information about the strengths and weaknesses of our second and third string players. I don't know what others were expecting from this game, but I thought it accomplished exactly what it was supposed to do. Let's see where we go from here.

Brissett kind of looked like crap too Kelly lit the offense the second he hit the field.

I'm not too worried about Brissett.   

If we only carry 2 QB's on the roster, I assume Kelly will be on the practice squad.   Can he be snagged by another team?

Like to see some glimpse of being able to run the ball or stop the run.  1st team was extremely disappointing on both sides.  YES, I know it is preseason, but it is preseason for the Bills too.  If not for some bad plays by Buffalo(snapping the ball over the Qb's head) the Bills would have scored much more meanwhile the Colts couldn't get a 1st down until the 3rd, 4th and lower stringers went in to play.

    • This is probably the strongest I've seen the Central division in my lifetime. I feel like any of these teams could beat any other team in the country on a good night. 
    • At 15 I see BTJ or AD Mitchell being available.  I don't see Ballard trading up.   Verse is a possibility too.  Q Mitchell as well.   So I think that is your "cluster" of players at 15.
    • Yes, Wentz can't come ever close to Kirk's abilities but that's not my point.   You need to re-read what I said, the best way to explain Cousins' issues is to be a fan of his team and experience his play when you're emotionally invested in the franchise's success.   That doesn't mean they are comparable.   Being much better than Wentz means no big endorsement either.    As for the excuses you made for Cousins, I look forward to hearing all the similar excuses from Falcons forums! Gonna be Awesome for a change after past half-decade!   I'll say one thing - Colts fans can't handle 1 year of Wentz, including the owner. And half year of Ryan, including the owner. Vikings had shown better patience with Cousins in 6 years, when his first two years ended like Wentz' year with Colts, except for the difference of lot of fantasy stats and highlight reels. You'd again point to how Cousins is so much better than Wentz, and it will be a circular argument - which is why I tried to explain what Superman felt and how it reflects being a fan of Cousins' team. 
    • Regardless of Ballard's talk about the current CB room, I think he's still taking a CB in 1st round 
    • I felt exactly the same as you. Let me ask all those that disagree this question... are the colts a better team due to cutting Rodgers ? Does anyone think that if Rodgers were on the team , it would be a distraction or cause just what problems ? Does anyone really think that Rodgers is going to in anyway "hurt " Philly's team chemistry.
