2021 Preseason Game 1: Carolina @ Indianapolis 1pm

[w87r]

Seems like one of the most anticipated Colts preseason games in a while. Understandably so, as we have 2 young QBs making their NFL debuts, while battling it out for potential starter minutes. 

 

After a couple days of joint practices, the 2 teams square off in what appears will be a pretty vanilla matchup.

 

By all reports, the joint practices seemed pretty 1 sided. Hopefully that continues today as Panthers are said to not be playing starters.

 

Great day, we've been waiting for this for a while.

Let’s go. Let the QB throw and don’t baby them.

I really hope we see Eason and Ehlinger get almost two quarters each. I'm all for protecting guys in preseason, but these two need legitamite game reps, to see if they can even play in this league.

 

Feels like its been forever since watching a colts game.

Reich said about 1.5 quarters a piece. He can’t protect them. He needs to open the game up to see what they can do.

I'm glad they're finally playing "games" against other teams - I'm looking forward to see how our 2 young QBs match up but will also be cognizant of who is playing when and whether Carolina is playing alot of their defensive starters in relation to how effective each guy looks.

Can’t wait to watch the game and spend time in the game-day thread with everyone! Everyone get their favorite game-day snacks ready, I’ll be having popcorn and cheese and maybe some other snacks after halftime.

Reich just said with Larra Overton most of the starters won’t play.

I think we might see Reed at center and Fries at LG. At least to start the game. That is what they did in practice Friday.

Haha, he sounded like a robot! Lol. Then he said Eason or Ehlinger is starting week 1 despite the fact that Wentz can come back week 1. Doesn’t have all the facts
