Let’s be clear. Winning in the preseason counts for nothing, zip, zilch, zero, nada, niete. You don’t judge a coach by how well their scrubs match up against Atlanta’s scrubs. It’s akin to firing Rick Carlisle because the Pacers allow a 6’2” Croatian Center for the Hawks to notch a double double in a 40 point Summer League loss to Atlanta.

In a little more than 24 hours, the Colts have to cut down to 53 players. Right now, they’re trying to figure out who’s better, Richardson or Leonard, Grupe or Shrader? They’re sorting out the bottom of the roster, weighing the skills of some undrafted free agent Linebacker vs a four year vet trying to hang around for another year.

That doesn’t seem important now, but when the witch of November comes calling and injures mount, a team’s fate hinges on judgments made in training camp.

Steichen can be forgiven for not caring about beating the Lions in a meaningless game?

Totally missed the point which really doesn't surprise me at all!
