That would be hilarious, since Arch is not HIM.

Maybe our depth does suck (I happen to think it does) but I don't think this game proves that quit yet.

Valid point to a degree, but still concerning since ATL played 0 starters as well and their backups collectively flat out embarrassed ours. Same w/ the Cheats, although the score didn't show this b/c they kept shooting themselves in the foot w/ stupid offensive penalties.

Also, it depends on who goes down and which backups are mixed it. For example if Blackmon somehow ends up making the team and getting on the field then we're fucked, b/c he couldn't cover me right now much less an NFL WR.

Shane Steichen on the Colts’ plan for Saturday’s preseason finale vs. Detroit:

“The starters are going to play probably about a series or two… the only guys not playing for sure are Daniel and JT… AR is going to start”
