Indy Takes NFL Preseason Win Over Philadelphia

Monday - February 22, 2010 | Casino | comment balloon Comments (0)

The Indianapolis Colts offense was in high gear on Thursday night as Peyton Manning threw two TD passes in three series of action, leaving backup Curtis Painter with a 14-0 lead over the Philadelphia Eagles before exiting the game. The Colts went on to win 23-15 in NFL preseason action.

Manning was pleased with the performance of the Indy offense:

\”I think everybody wanted to be in there. The entire offense felt hungry after last week. Sure, there were some mistakes we can learn from, but there were some good things we can learn from.\”

\”I don\’t think anybody offensively was really happy with what happened last week. It started with me and the entire offensive starting unit. Overall I thought everybody came back and did a better job tonight.\”

Colts head coach Jim Caldwell was also happy with the performance:

\”They [the starters] had a couple of real good solid drives in there, performing pretty well. We were pleased with what we saw.\”

Eagles coach Andy Reid, meanwhile, had little good to say about his team\’s effort which wasn\’t surprising after a performance with little intensity or focus:

\”All in all, that was an embarrassing performance and way too many penalties, not enough intensity all the way around, starting with me. It was a poor performance.\”

The Eagles were missing a number of starters and looked nothing like a team expected to contend for a Superbowl berth.

The Eagles will start the regular season with a road game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, September 13th while the Colts will host the Jacksonville Jaguars
