Every time I see goodson I remember him dropping the ball. 

Doubt many would have caught that lame duck throw honestly, Minshew choked on an easy short pass.

How much longer do we have  Ellinger? Do you think the colts will keep him around?

I don’t think he will go anywhere this year, next year could be a different story.

He will always be a 3rd stringer. We will keep 3 QB's = AR, Flacco, and Sam.

Think 50/50, if Bean shows up big again tonite think he may get the nod.

AR ended 8-14, 86 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT. That is above average. He only ran once for 3 yards. He held back IMO. The pick 6 was the only bad play but that was on Granson as well.

He did decent! Has to find some touch on some of his throws. He’ll be alright.
 

It’s wild watching him get the rust shaken off. This is the same man as a rookie that led that crazy comeback against the Rams. Once he gets locked back in and downs back watch out.

I don’t know man. Seems to me he had a pretty good shot at it, even though the throw wasn’t the best. maybe he shouldn’t have been the dude catching it though….

I concur. It was not a good pass I said that many times after it all went down…

Isn’t the roster allow it to be easier to keep 3? If I’m wrong, I would prefer we use it for dline depth.

I’ve noticed Richardson has much better accuracy on vertical throws.
 

He struggles on 15-20 yard crossers & hitting receivers out of their break on out routes. 

He really needs to improve on that.  He just can’t be missing as many bunnies as he does.

I had to do some painting outside so I started from the beginning of this game and I’m caught up now it’s a bit disconcerting that our starters aren’t punishing their back ups. Seems like after that first drive the Bengals back ups seem to figure out Richardson. The line has not looked good on  offense and I hope it gets better Houston

Keep in mind, Taylor only played 1 series. When Taylor was in on the 1st drive we dominated, it allowed AR to play better. We had no run threat when Taylor went out.

Main reason I wish we could have kept moss

You could say the same about teams who sign a player to big contract and then release them to save money.  Should they honor those contracts too?  They know what they were signing it when they signed it too.

You do realize that most of the time, if not all the time, the team has to eat the dead money left. The player gets that money. At least then guaranteed amount. These guys aren’t going hungry

Moss wanted to be a starter and should be

I like our rb depth honestly. Goodson has looked good each preseason game, Hull not doing badly though more a 3rd down specialist. Once Sermon comes back we are stacked with these youngsters. The days of Deon Jackson are long gong

[IinD]

Just backing up the criticism of AR on crossing routes. He definitely has to start driving those throws and not just arm throw/flick it out there.

We just need to hope Taylor stays healthy.

Pass to the crowd

[Patrick Miller]

Sam looked bad there

[RollerColt]

Sam not able to do much in the red zone. 

[IndySouthsider]

I’m still unclear why Colts keep Sam Ehlinger on the roster.

[Happy2BeHere]

I get going for it there, it’s just a preseason game, but Gay needs some work.

I just noticed once Taylor went out, AR didn't look near as good. With Taylor in there, defenses know if they have to respect the run bigtime.

Exactly what I was about to type

3rd stringer. I wonder where Flacco is at. 

[Happy2BeHere]

If Joe burrow is Eminem then Latu is 1/2 Eminem with that hairdo

He’s not even capable. You aren’t winning a single game with him.

No one said they were but if you are argument is players should honor what they signed shouldn’t teams honor what they signed or is it one sided?

[2006Coltsbestever]

7-7 at Half. So glad the real season starts shortly. This was fun watching AR healthy at least. The 1st drive was fantastic.

That close in isn’t really work for a NFL kicker.

[Patrick Miller]

I hear Flacco will not play. So the rest of the game should be Slovis and Bean.

With Gay’s poor kicking these past 2 games it is.

I pretty much agree. If Sam was our starter, even with a healthy Taylor, we win maybe 4 games. I think now days though, you need at least 3 QB's.

[Patrick Miller]

Gay has stunk it up lately

[GoColts8818]

No it’s not.  He’s struggled from distance.  Kicking a 20 some yard field goal isn’t going to help.

[holeymoley99]

Rodney thomas needs to play well this second half. Dallis Flowers as well. Hope Bean gets at least a quarter.

[IinD]

That first drive was definitely nice to see. AD looks like he'll be legit. 

 

AR is going to definitely be very Peyton like in his first couple years for those old enough to remember. 

He'd have some great plays mixed in with those 'Peyton who the ---- are you throwing it to???' moments...
