Every year we go 1-3 or 0-4 in the preseason and everyone starts freaking out. Then we win 10+ games in the regular season. I'm not sure why that is exactly, but I know this year I'm not going to worry about the results -especially after not having any off season sessions- and will just focus on the individual players.

I'm just glad football is back!

I doubt any colts fan "panic" cause they know the colts dont put too much into preseason games.... i wonder what will happen if the colts actually go 4-0

The universe implodes, the Steelers complain, Wilford Brimley has a manly mustache, and I imagine we get fed to the pigs. :banana:

"everyone starts freaking out" -- lol! Really, that is funny. Any serious Colts fan knows that the Colts don't care at all about the preseason record. In fact, they take a bit of perverse pride in a poor pre-season record.

If you don't know that, then I'd respectfully suggest you lurk more and post less ...

More players to evaluate in less time is my only concern.

Exactly. That's why I think we will do as poorly as usual this pre-season. We're too busy evaluating our squad and figuring out who can actually execute than trying anything fancy or new. That's what the bedrock of the colts is though, players that can execute really well. It's not always about that uncoachable raw ability, sometimes it's about that uncoachable ability to follow the play properly...

The problem that I have is that I dont see where they get some of these guys. Kick returner cant catch, QB's cant throw. They look very disorganized compared to other teams. I know we never win preseason games but this game was pathetic. Quite watching.

Colts’ fans panic during the preseason because they are constantly reminded of what their team would look like without Peyton. The Pats are fine without Brady (won 11 games the year he was injured). The Steelers are fine without Ben (started 3-1 last year without him against a tough schedule). But take away Peyton and you get a box score that looks like this: 13-minute disadvantage in TOP, 169 rush yds allowed vs. a team that ranked 25th in that category a year ago, 3 TOs from backup QBs, shotgun incomplete pass on 3rd-and-1, kick/punt returners who you root to just fall down so that they don’t cost Peyton a possession. Good thing these things would never occur during the regular season ;-|

I never worry about preseason games. I just grow increasingly frustrated in watching a team that will lose every time Peyton doesn’t play perfect.

      Your surprise opening day starter

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Richard….    JVan and I aren’t agreeing on much recently, but on this issue I believe he’s right.   But there’s more….      I believe as the story goes Ballard shared that Morocco Brown and other scouts were confident that Smith could play RT effectively.  Ballard was worried because Smiths arms are very short at 32 1/4 when Ballard wants at least 33 1/2 if not more.  So Brown and the scouts convinced Ballard Smith was athletic enough to do the job.    And they been right.

      Key season for Braden Smith

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      All of the following is my opinion…. I think 2024 is the last year for Ryan Kelly and then Bortolini takes over in 25.      I think Smiths last year is 2025, and I think the Colts will draft a RT to replace Smith in 25 and the kid will start for the Colts in 26.      I think Goncalves might take over at RG for Fries, but almost no one realize Fries graded in the top 40 percent of all guards, so there will be good competition at the spot.     I think the Colts are using the next few years to rebuild the Colts offensive line for the near future…

      Once again showing your ignorance .  Just like in your Peyton vs Brady arguments.   Russell and his fellow Celtics were clearly the best basketball team of the 50s/60s.   if that’s the case (and try following the logic), that would stand to mean that if they had the same advantages as those 80’s teams had in terms of training, true professional training facilities, etc, then they would have just been just as good as any 80’s team.   It’s the same when young people today say that Magic/Larry, etc, would have no shot against kids who have played AAU and been groomed since 10 years old.  Of course they would have, given the same opportunities.

      Two players make a championship team?  Two small forwards, in fact? again, you’re showing your basketball ignorance.
