Colts 2021 Nunc Coepi

As we know it's pre season and doesn't mean much...unless you're fighting for a job. But, will be interesting to see how tonight's injuries play into things. Am I correct that 2 players were carted off the field?
On a positive note, I think they have plenty of potential this year

All of the players injured were way down the roster depth chart. No starters or backups were hurt in any of the preseason games.

"No actual players were injured in the making of this pre-season game."

You have to feel for a guy that was simply fighting for a roster spot and gets injured for his trouble. I know it's low on the scale of injustices in this world, but I can empathize.

Absolutely. From a team perspective it’s not a big loss but yeah for those guys individually it’s devastating. You have to be the top 1% of the top 1% to even be in the NFL in the first place. They’re just trying to make a roster and get a paycheck. It’s an ugly business for sure.

What about the qb position though?

What about the qb position though?

Carson Wentz is back. At this point, it would be more surprising if he didn’t play week 1. He was out at practice three straight days last week doing basically everything full speed.

Unless they bring in a vet that’s cut from another team, Jacob Eason will be the backup QB. He’s earned that spot.

Yeah but with a starter that seems injury prone...I am concerned

That’s every team in the league though. You gotta think maybe half of even the starters in the league are playoff caliber QB’s. And that’s the starters. Backups are just that, backups. Every team in the league is screwed without their starting QB.

Now, having said all that, it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the Colts sign a veteran backup before the season. Like a Nick Foles or someone like that.

News coming out on Twitter that TY Hilton is expected to miss several weeks of the season with an injury. No details yet. Wentz and Hilton were developing good chemistry so that’s not great news.

Oh man, that's not good.

So far the only people within the Colts organization to test positive are all fully vaccinated. Wentz, Pascal, are being held out because of “close contact”.

The NFL policy is so dumb.

Thank goodness the vaccine is so effective!

It really has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the vaccine (which was never intended to prevent transmission for a respiratory virus like this one, unlike, say Smallpox), and everything to do with the stupidity of the NFL policy. In practice, it appears to be the vaccinated players transmitting the virus, and the unvaccinated players being held to a more stringent standard regarding close contact tracing and quarantining.

My football friends all expect the Colts to finish third in the division. What do you think?

Are they willing to put money on that? Because that’s absurd.

You have them where?

It’s a two horse race between Indy and Tennessee. If Wentz plays up to his potential, then I’m not sure how we lose the division.

Study: Fully Vaccinated Healthcare Workers Carry 251 Times Viral Load, Pose Threat to Unvaccinated Patients, Co-Workers

A preprint paper by the prestigious Oxford University Clinical Research Group, published Aug. 10 in The Lancet, found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated.

Seems jabbed individuals shed 251 times to viral load of un jabbed individuals. This is Oxford university published by the lancet medical journal.

I am better at hands on stuff but my free thinking mind then tells me maybe Covid 19 delta virus is not more transmissible but jabbed individuals producing 251 times the viral load might be sending much more virus into the air making the transmission of Covid easier. As more jabbed get mild Covid or no symptoms Covid they spread that viral load more easily. The more jabbed with Covid the more viral load the more exposure and the higher cases.

maybe I am wrong
