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.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      I'm not saying he is about to be a sack machine but you can see some of his potential as a one gap penetrator with that frame.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By krunk · Posted

      Davis came from Alabama. My point of interest as the writer highlighted is he is moving from being a 2 gapper into now only being responsible for a single gap with a lot more penetration from him versus read and react. With his length and power at 6ft 7 300 plus the expectation for him in our scheme is he will be more disruptive. A much more reliable option for us if Grover goes down in addition to whatever else maybe we can do with him.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      Thank you. You guys are too kind, but I truly appreciate the support.    Perhaps I am being too hard on myself… But my point still stands that anyone who makes it to the NFL, whether practice squad or starter, has achieved something prestigious that only a rare few ever achieve.    Over a million high schoolers play. Of those only 7.8 percent move on to play in college.    Over 80,000 people play in college. Only 0.4 percent make it to opening day in the NFL.    Only 2,016 players make it to NFL rosters.

      A Write Up On Raekwon Davis' Potential Impact

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Davis had a very good rookie season after being drafted in the 2nd round out of Ohio State (I believe).   Graded in the 70’s against both the run and pass.      But his last three years have been disappointing, as he’s graded in the mid-50’s.   The reason I’m so interested in this signing, is (A) I’m sure it was heavily influenced by the new DL coach, Partridge.   And (B) we’re paying him 2/14.  I don’t recall that kind of money ever being given to a basic backup before.   Don’t think Davis is here to push Stewart, the Colts just signed him to 3/39.  That tells me the Colts defensive staff sees him differently.   I don’t know what the plan the staff has come up with for Davis, but I’m looking forward to watching it play out.
