Colts might avoid the worst of the tropical system Sunday. The system looks like to be the worse Saturday and the tropical storm warning is over Sunday morning. Still might be raining though.

Well good thing they have that running game of Richardson and Taylor behind Kelly and Nelson to fall back on.  Oh wait…

the injury report always bears watching on a week-to-week basis!!

What the Chicago football team does is irrelevant.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Richardson and Kelly are not practicing. So it’s French and Minshew Sunday. Kenny Moore is practicing.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Nelson is practing. Curious if this is colts being careful with Richardson or he is still having symptoms. If he is having symptoms next week could be in danger.

Nelson missed practice last week (Texans) but ended up playing. I think it's safe to count AR out. Hopefully he is able to return next week for the Rams at home.

If AR is held out, I am sure it is precautionary. With all the emphasis that has been put on concussions the last few years and the whole Tua situation, we probably are playing it safe. What is sad is, many in the media would probably be critical of us playing him after what happened to Tua. Everyone is different and AR's injury didn't look near as bad as Tua's did. On Monday, he was spotted out in public walking around. If someone has a major concussion, they aren't doing that the next day. They are laying in a dark quiet room somewhere - any doctor would tell anyone that. I have been concussed before and after it happened, I rested for 2 or 3 days and then I was fine. I wasn't out walking around that is for sure.

Sorry I mean careful with AR. I didn’t word that very well

Time to roll out the Mustache

Mustache is our new Hasselbeck

That may give us a better chance at winning the game.

It might, Minshew is streaky great sometimes. He reminds me of Fitzpatrick. He is either on fire good or he is bad.

I am glad it’s Minshew with French and not Richardson. At least there is a experienced QB to help with protections.

I look forward to seeing how the Colts running game looks with French at center, inclement weather, against a stout Ravens defense,

The combination of French and Fries is hard to top 

[richard pallo]

I think we are still going to win.

[sb41champs]

No surprise at all that neither Anthony Richardson or Ryan Kelly are playing Sunday.

 

The NFL and the NFLPA are taking concussions seriously these days.

 

God bless all of our injured players as they heal!!

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wow 

 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It’s officially a tropical storm. Would they move the game?

To your question, I doubt it as long as the storm is over by Sunday morning.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This is going to be a wild game Sunday with a tropical storm and injuries on both sides.

According to that post it is going to hit Sunday during the game.

[1959Colts]

Better bring the slicker if you're going

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I bet since it’s a actual tropical storm there is a possibility this game gets moved. Same with commanders game.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looks like the national  hurricane center is predicting it to hit around 2 pm Sunday.

In a thrilling game the Colts practice squad beat the Ravens practice squad 3-2.

It makes landfall in North Carolina?

 

So, I think they would go ahead with those games if only rain will be in the part of the mix when the storm reaches those game destinations.

Last time colts played in a monsoon they beat the crap out of  SF. This could be a game we can easily win when we shouldn’t.

With ravens injuries this could be even better.

Nah. I usually use ketchup. Sometimes BBQ sauce

[Colts1324]

If we manage to win this week, the season’s focus changes from solely develop ARICH to compete for a playoff seed. Our schedule is quite easy. A lot of winnable games & i think this game has a lot of significance for a young team. 
 

I don’t think we win, but it will be fun to see it play out

The first thing would have mostly been an off-season focus in how they put a roster together.  The Colts went younger to get guys to grow with Richardson rather than getting vets like you might see a team trying to win a Super Bowl would.  Once games start, no matter how the roster was put together, teams alway try to win as many games as they can.  So I can assure you they aren’t solely focusing trying to develop Richardson they are trying to develop him while winning as many games as they can.

Colts definitely put an emphasis on going younger BUT have an eye on the playoffs and the Matt Gay signing shows that. You do not sign a kicker to highest contract in the league unless you expect to be in close games that the kicker can win. We had an inexpensive kicker who did well last year, well wasn't good enough thus the signing.

The Colts signed Matt Gay to a 4-year contract.  So while it helps the Colts in 23, it also helps the Colts in 24, 25, and 26.   The Colts think Gay is that good.  I think you’re reading too much into 2023.
