Wouldn't put much stock in it because Taylor isn't in and didn't even play. Hopefully Wentz is back by week 1 but if Eason starts, I am sure Taylor will get around 25 carries.

Hines was great the first half.

[2006Coltsbestever]

Our D has been impressive all night. A TD puts it away.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Eason still in. Wow Reich letting him finish. I like that.

If not more plus the runs to NH and Mack

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Lamay hasn’t looked geat.

I love Hines, I hope we resign him but he isn't Taylor. Taylor has the potential to become a top 5-7 RB in the league. Hines is like a Sproles type RB which I am thankful we have. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wow Eason showed mobility there.

[PrincetonTiger]

Yep. Just saying Hines and a couple passes to pascal carried Sam.

[life long]

Very nice bootleg and throw!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Interesting. Maybe a test for the WR.

Not sure that bodes well for him tbh. If he really is the future #2, You dont play him

in the last few minutes of garbage time in a preseason game. I feel Ehlinger may

have done enough against the ones to make it a draw this game.  I could be wrong

but why play Eason if he had done enough.

It’s actually great. Part of game flow. Can he run the clock out. It’s a test.

There should be no Backup controversy after tonight.

[PrincetonTiger]

Several bad snaps by the Cs tonight

[krunk]

Im stuck with how do we make a decision to let Patmon go? He seems to be very reliable

He can’t play STs like Dulin

Thanks for sharing those. I’m in Southeastern Indiana so I’m out of the Colts coverage area sadly.

Likely, Reich trying to give Eason a mulligan on the first half 2 min drill, which I think probably shaded heavily the overall performance today.

 

I'd like more clarity on why the QB situation went this way, this week, beyond, "we thought it was the right thing to do".

I think Dulin will be on the outside. We will find another gunner. Odum maybe.

Eason played against the backup defensive players. He did not face the same defensive players that Ehlinger did.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

We are 2-0 with two young QB.

[PrincetonTiger]

So close

Now Paul Allen is getting annoying again. No one cares that Mike Zimmer has never lost back to back preseason games. 

He's been annoying all the time, he's OK when you listen for first few times or when everything's going well for the team. Even then it gets cringy after a while.

Ha. I gotcha. I don’t check it as often as I don’t have an account.

It was just a joke. We usually don’t win Preseason games.

Just not sure you risk an injury plus I thought Reich said they wanted to see Hundley in game 2. Seems like they are

just not quite sure yet what they have in Eason and need more tape.

Was that Patmon playing gunner and catching the last punt on the 5.

Yeah, as far as TV coverage it’s all about the Bengals here. Although with Joe Burrow now that’s not so bad of a thing compared to years past…

Wins mean nothing right now, I agree it is pre-season. Fun to watch though and pre-season is good to evaluate talent. Like I said fun to win and watch. The wins don't count until week 1.

Ehlinger also has 3 ints in 3+ quarters of action.
