But he is playing...........unlike R3 who did not...

Eli manning played the final pre-season game....because they felt he needed to

When did the practice of not playing your starting offense inthe final pre-season game begin??

You cant get hurt in the next-to-last preseason game?

Again, you are on the wrong side of this. See my post about what Luck said himself.

Have you been a football fan for a long time? The 4th preseason game is routinely played with guys fighting for the final roster spots. Routinely. As much as you don't want to believe it, injuries are an absolute concern - especially for a team with the little depth the Colts have.

'J'///with respect....that's not really true

I go back to the days of 6 exhibition games....and vets played in the final 3 or 4....

They didnt play more than a half..maybe a quarter in the last one but the games they skipped used to be the first two, remember

..and rookies...played MORE as the exhibition season went on becayse they needed to get used to NFL-speed..

Clearly..Andrew Luck needs to play to get better....becaurse he hasnt played with these guys before.

You want avoid injuries but you have to expose rookies to the NFL if you are banking on them as we are...

There's plenty of time in the final half or 3 quarters...to decide about the end of the roster

There's no right side or wrong side...he's going to play and he wanst to......Check it out..

""How much Luck?

"(Mike Chappell - Indy Star) The workload for Andrew Luck and the starting offense against the Bengals has yet to be determined, but any level will be embraced.

“Any experience is incredibly helpful for me right now, just to be out there and with a lack of really any NFL experience,’’ Luck said Tuesday. “Take advantage of some game experience.’’

Monday, coach Chuck Pagano said Luck and the No. 1 offense would play a series or two in the final preseason game. Tuesday, he made it clear playing time would be weighed against the risk of injury.""

Back to my statement of a few days ago - you aren't changing my mind and I clearly won't change yours. But tomorrow, when Luck plays 2 series tops...

Dear god the refs drug this one out...

I had to leave with about 5 mins left in the 2nd quarter, I live almost 60 miles away from Indy, stopped to get food at a crowded drive-thru, and I had to roll through almost 25 miles of construction zone and STILL made it home in time to see the end of the game.

NO WAY that should have been possible.

Do you realize how much you would actually owe me if we bet every time we debated a topic. The answer is somewhere around all the internet dollars in the world.

      Potential/Average/Concern

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Most of us are underpaid, difference is we move on and deal with it and barely can enjoy life. Imagine if Pat Mahome's and his wife and kids had to live paycheck to paycheck, that would be funny to see, even for 3 months

      You have a good heart because unfortunately money rules the world. Without it, you can't do anything or live nice. I am just talking live halfway nice, nothing mind popping like buying 3 cars and a half million-dollar house. Just live in a 200,000 house (good neighborhood) and have a nice car and be able to take a Vacation once a year type of money is what I mean. To your point, being a good person with good morals is super important though . I try to treat people well and help people as much as I can.

      So this Anthony Richardson guy...........

      Fun fact: Smith took Mike Tyson the distance, only 1 of 2 fighters to do that when Mike was Champ from 1986-1989. Tony Tucker was the other.

      I have seen a few clips of Creed 2 on Youtube but never have watched the whole movie. I seen where Drago is in it. I thought Creed 1 was kind of average but I grew up with the Rocky movies with Rocky fighting. As far as the fights between Rocky and Clubber being short, that was fine because there were 2 of them. The way I would rank the Rocky movies would be: 1. Rocky 3 - had more action than any of them and the Creed twist was shocking. Back then there was no internet or teasers, so nobody had no idea that Creed would train Rocky. Mr T was by far the baddest villain of them all. He made people want to hate him. Hulk Hogan was even it who Rocky fought for charity  . Mick even passed away, it all kinds of twists and turns.   2. Rocky 1 - the 1st one because of the storyline. He also went the distance with GOAT = Apollo, nobody ever done that.   3. Rocky 2 - had the best fight, so I can see how that would be #1 in many eyes. That was my mom's favorite because of Adrian coming out of the coma and telling Rocky to win and the fight was the best of the whole series.   4. Rocky 4 - This one was good but not great. They could have made this much better to where it could of been the best of the series. It was kind of unrealistic because no way in real life would Apollo get killed in 2 rounds. The fight between Apollo and Drago should have at least gone 7 or 8 rounds and just show Apollo taking a beating. 2 Rounds = no way. #2, they made Drago out to be like a superhero, Rocky already beat Clubber who was just as strong, so I didn't care for the storyline. The training scenes by Rocky and Drago and the music is what saved that one from being average.

      I hope we keep Toppin, I didn't think we would. Paul George went to Philly for 4 years/212 Mill, so now we have them to deal with as well besides Boston, NY, and Milwaukee. I thought we were better than Philly before the George deal, not sure now.
