[Colts And Orioles]

Richardson took what would have been a 5-yard sack for most quarterbacks, and turned it into a 4-yard gain ...... woo hoo.

Spencer Shrader made 2 FG attempts of 53 yards and 48 yards.

Blake Grupe missed 1 FG attempt of 36 yards.



In the exhibition game against the Patriots, Spencer Shrader made 2 FG attempts of 61 yards and 46 yards.

In the exhibition game against the Patriots, Blake Grupe missed 1 FG attempts of 61 yards.



I have a feeling that Grupe is feeling pretty bad right about now.

Not sure WTF you can take from that pile of shit. I can only hope that the real work was done in joint practices. Does look like Shrader will win the placekicker job. Horseshit line play makes it impossible to judge any skill position on offense.

1) l It's probably a good thing that the Colts decided to sign Daniel Jones for the next 2 seasons.

2) l I hear that they make a really good Orange Julius in one of the upper deck concession stands.

Looks like a 6-7 win team to me. A team that CAN be good if everything goes perfect, everyone stays healthy, and they get some luck.

Unfortunately, that’s most likely not going to happen. Not with a quarterback who has only played 16 games once in 7 seasons. Not with a running back who has been one of the most overworked players in the league for several years. And if either of those guys goes down, it’s basically over because there is zero depth behind them.

I’m sure Kray will be along to paint a rosy picture of what COULD be but I’m just not buying it.

Players good enough to be signed by an NFL team should be capable of being coached to perform better than what we saw today! Anarumo should be ashamed to have put that garbage defense on the field today!

I am afraid we may be the confirmation that the ass heap that Cincy put on the field for several years on the defensive side of the game, is an Anarumo thing, not a talent thing. If so, well we will be a best case .500 team, and more than likely less than that, and the best thing about that, we start from complete scratch and rid ourselves of this era of bullshit we have been forced to stomach for essentially all of Chris Ballard's tenure.

By all accounts the Colts dominated the joint scrimmages. My take may be that ATL had, had enough, and played to win the game, while the Colts basically took the day off.

If we look like that with our 1's in there and not 2's & 3's I will be a little more worried. Do I think we are some burgeoning juggernaut? Hell no. I think we are a 8-10 win team. What we saw today is not what you're going to see in a few weeks. Lighten up Francis. Gloom and doom over a preseason game is a direct correlation to your mental ability to think, or not!

Are you watching ANY of these other PS games? Perhaps this Eagles Patriots game? Same scenario- scrubs sort of up and down the roster for both teams. You know what is different- players on these teams are executing, they look like competent football players who are coached to do this shit.

Our 2nd and 3rd level players, look absolutely fucking horrible.
