2024 Preseason #3: Colts @ Bengals, Thursday, August 22, 2024, 8:00 PM ET

[Shive]

Rare Pittman drop.

[DEColtsLover36]

Ugh

[ADnum1]

AD was open

[Patrick Miller]

Uh yeah

[GoColts8818]

The next two throws were not good by Richardson.

[Happy2BeHere]

Poor series!

The announcers sure love the word kibosh tonight. 

Pittman should have caught that.

[Tsarquise]

Just tuned in to see some pretty bad throws by AR. Yikes. Receiver was wide open. 

[RollerColt]

Velocity is too much right now. Just got to throw a bit more touch. I think his shoulder just hasn’t broken in yet.

Polar opposite of the first drive. Carved them up.

[Patrick Miller]

AR is overthrowing his receivers.

[richard pallo]

His accuracy has not been great let’s face it.  Let’s hope he plays a half.  He needs the work.

[Colt.45]

The young QB needs to play thru it all

He was 7-8 with a TD on 1st drive.

Kirk said it best in the commentating. It’s touch, rhythm. He doesn’t have it yet. It’s to be expected- he can develop a rhythm in the pocket, and I think it could come this year. That’s what I want to see.

[Patrick Miller]

Look, I realize it’s preseason, but our starters are going against their second and third stringers. It’s kind of deflating to see the offenses performance on the last two drives.

[RollerColt]

Announcers now talking about the Reds… my dudes… the Reds are a shell of themselves now… currently losing 0-7 to the lowly Pirates.

[Colts1324]

Glad he is going to get to watch tape & get coached up on this now.
 

Because, that throw to AD right there would have been a huge gain/possible TD. Can’t miss those. They are throws average college QB’s make. 
 

He’ll get his feet under him

[Patrick Miller]

On a bright note, AR has not ran one time

[GoColts8818]

This is what you get with young QBs.  They are inconsistent.  This is why Richardson missing so much time last year was a big deal.

Yep. I expect some magic moments followed by some rough rookie mistake moments this season. This is essentially a redo of his rookie year.

I think it's great to be honest. I 100% expected them to be rusty. This puts it on tape and let's them work on it before week 1. If Steichen hadn't started our #1s this would've been week 1.

[DEColtsLover36]

Create A Character graphic was cool

[2006Coltsbestever]

One thing so far is, AR hasn't took off running yet. Not mentioned yet.

Why? It’s just them beating themselves with miscommunication, overthrown passes and dropped balls. It’s not like they are making plays on us. It’s correctable issues. This is exactly what I said would happen. The “AR needs the reps” crowd would get discouraged the second we weren’t dominating the 2nd team tonight. Even after the start, it’s already happening… 

[Happy2BeHere]

1 excellent offensive series and 2 lackluster series by our offense. Good news is the defense at least held them scoreless even if they are a backup offense…you’d expect that so it’s great they did it.

[ADnum1]

AR was supposed to go through this last season.

 

ARs growing pains are coming this season

I think that’s part of the script. The play before the quarter ended would have been a CRAZY big gain by him. You could see his reaction.

yeah. This is vanilla offense. I understand letting AR play a bit in hopes of getting some of this out of the way and corrected. His touch with the ball is nothing new. He has to develop it. It’s not going to happen in this game. It’s going to happen over the course of a full year. We had a chance to take an offense full of confidence off the field and prepping for week 1 when it matters, and decided the reps were more important. I don’t know that I agree.

The INT was a mis communication. Not really defending it but Granson ran a wrong route.

[Patrick Miller]

Come on Kelly Block!

Good grief how embarrassing

I seen it too 

[Happy2BeHere]

Ugh, 3 and out

[IndyEV]

Run blocking has been nonexistent

[Patrick Miller]

Wow.

Love John. What a time that was during the shutdown and checking in to hear “Some Good News”. 

[Happy2BeHere]

Rigo punting well!

[ColtStrong2013]

Blatant block in the back on the sideline ignored.

[RollerColt]

Seeing some good tackling by the defense.
