Colts / NFL Game Thread

Pre-season action for a couple of IU guys.  

Nate Sudfield for the Redskins:  6-11, 64 yds, 0 TD, 0 INT, 1 rush: 5 yds

Darius Latham for the Raiders:  3 solo tackles.

I know it's just preseason.  I know this.

But Tolzien is awful.  Our best hope at qb if Luck sits out is Stephen Morris.  He's been the only one who's been able to move the ball at all.

Colts are terrible this year again.  It's just sad what has become of the Colts.  I've been a big Colts fan since around 1990.   Last 2-3 years have been the worst as a fan since the pre Manning days.

As our fanbase knows all to well if a coach is on the hot seat for more than 1 season he probably ain't the guy

If Luck can play soon,  we are just where we have been in recent years.  Middle of the pack, non playoff contender.  If he misses games, much worse record wise.

Found out recently, one of my middle school and high school buddies landed the RB coach gig for the Baltimore Ravens.  Pretty cool.  Lost touch with him through college.  Cool seeing where people end up.  Thomas Hammock.  He was and probably still is a good dude.

Dorsett to the Patriots for Brissett.

I’ve seen tweet that say the Patriots “fleeced” the colts but I disagree. Dorsett sucks and likely was getting cut today so why not get something for him. Plus Brissett is better than Tolzien

I really hope Morris starts week 1 tbh. I can't see them throwing Brissestt out there with 1 week of prep.

Colts are a train wreck right now. Sad.

Grigson really screwed us man. Almost everything he touched failed.

How did they fleece us? Dorsett was a horrible draft pick when we made it, and he ended up sucking all but maybe 2% of the snaps he played. Stupid east coast bias.

ESPN's John Keim reporting the Redskins are releasing Nate Sudfield.  May end up on practice squad.

With the initial #NFL rosters now finalized, here are the former #iufb players that made the cut:

Anyone here posts on Stampede Blue? They're crucifying Ballard for giving Dorsett away, because you know despite being all together horrible Dorsett might not be a complete liability on the field some day

That Morris article makes me not even want to visit the site until it's off the front page. Did they really think he wasn't getting cut??? And yeah everyone was crying about Dorsett (myself included), but now that he's traded Ballard is some kind of idiot because we should have gotten more in return??? That site has so many idiots on it.

The way New England turns one teams junk into gold probably won't help. With Julian out Dorset may become a star there.

Its gotten so bad because it is so black and white to so many of their posters. Either you're wearing blue tented glasses and think Ballard is a genius or you think everything Ballard has done is wrong. And if you say anything one way or the other they're gonna jump down your throat and call you an idiot.

I'm just anticipating the great year, then New England realizes how bad he actually is, lets him walk for nothing and he ends up pretty much right where he currently is, but that one year means it was a horrible trade
