    Dez Bryant was helped off the field at #Saints practice today after suffering what the team fears may be a torn Achilles, sources tell me and @RapSheet. He’s getting an MRI now.

    That’s what I was coming here to post. 

     

    Atleast I didn’t pick him up in both of my fantasy leagues when I read he was trying out for the Saints...

    Not sure what that trade with Hulce is about, speculation? I think J. Brown has the better schedule moving forward and Brees is way better. However you do have mahomes. Think hulce won that trade. 

    I only have 1 WR available this week. I could hit the waivers, but none get me to excited. I picked Brees up off waivers, was gonna use him for Mahomes bye week, but I needed a WR this week. I could care less about Stafford and Brown has been up and down. I agree he got the better end of the deal, but I had a need.  I tried to just do Brees for Cooper but he wouldn’t do it.

    I'm with ya man.

     

    Several of the games haven't even been sellouts this year. 

     

    Time to get the stadium packed again and go from there.  I have accepted the fact that the playoffs are likely out of reach this season.  Because I'm at peace with that likely reality, I'm looking forward to watching the young talent improve.

     

    I'm looking forward to witnessing Luck become an even better QB.  And I cannot wait for Luck to shred Jalen Ramsey.

     

     

    Lucas Oil Stadium.  The "Luke" being short for Lucas.

    The OP makes a lot more sense now!

    Well, though their defence isn't as good as last season, they still have a good defence, and I would say they are a QB away from being a contender to the superbowl.

     

    The Bills and Raiders are miles away, so I would say a win in Jacksonville would give this Colts team a bit more confidence than wins over the other two mentioned teams. 

     

    But again, thats only my own opinion. 

    You know the Colts and Jaguars have the same record? The best thing they have done this year is beat the Pats. Other than that they look horrible. They barley beat the Giants week 1. The offense didn’t score 1 point in the entire second half. If it wasn’t for a tipped passed that turned into a pick 6, the Giants win that game.

     

    The Jaguars are in a downward spiral, beating them right now isn’t any better than beating the Bills or Raiders. They have been blown out by the Chiefs, Cowboys and Texans...and soon to be the Colts. That defense doesn’t scare me they way the Colts O has been playing.

    Im glad my 2-3 more wins forecast is becoming a bit shaky, Im just not sold quite yet, ion how good this team actually is. The Wins over the Bills and Raiders is very positive and hopefully something we can build from.

     

    But when that is said, I want to see the team take a win or two against the Jags, Texans and /or Titans, before Im totally sold.

     

    Yes we have been hanging in there in most of the games this year, but havn't been able to close those games, among other things due to dropped passes from our WR´s.

     

    I like where this team is headed and the different stats and rankings are more positive than in a long time for a colts team that have ranked in the bottom of a lot of rankings and stats the last couple of years. So yes, Im excited to see that the new schemes and transition from one defensive scheme to another is panning out. 

     

    BUT Im not entirely sold yet, wins over the Bills and Raiders, who are among the worst teams in the league, well, a win is a win, but I would just like mus to win against/ over a better team, which we havn't been able to do this season, besides the Redskins game. 

     

    I'll say that a win over the Jags in Jacksonville would make me much more sold on this team, than I am right now. 

    Why Jacksonville?

    Seriously...you're knocking buffalo's defense? when we played them they were #6 rushing defense in the League.  He had 89 vrs the Jets the weeks before on 12 carries, Jets were 11th vrs the run in the NFL then also.  Give some credit where credit is due man.

    No, he is hell bent on trading for Bell and nothing else matters.

    Mack almost didn't play today.  Remember he was questionable after last weeks game with yet another injury.  He has shown it the last two weeks for sure.  But can he stay healthy and take the pounding?  His longest run today would have been a touchdown for Bell.  And last weeks as well.  Behind this line Bell would go off.   Bell is a far superior pass catcher too and a threat to go the distance with every touch.   Mack has shown he's a nice back for two games.   But can he do it every week?  A question that has yet to be answered.

    With Cooper traded and Lynch hurt who on the Raiders offense is someone we have to worry about?   I can't think of anyone.  This upcoming game is looking more like a win and another step closer to winning our division. 

    Jared Cook. He has a big game every couple of weeks or so. But it’s definitely a winnable game.

    Rigoberto Sanchez was 72/74 (98%) on PATs in college and 21/24 (88%) on FGs. If we just need someone for a week while Vinny recovers then I say we go with Rigo instead of wasting a roster spot.

    True, but that’s not crazy. We need crazy dang it.

    It just kind of bothers me that he's not the fastest guy in the world.  I mean he's good at picking up extra yards as far as short down and distance goes but he doesn't have a whole lot of burst to get away from people.  I'd like to have another guy who can keep the running game moving if Mack went down. Hopefully he'll make me eat crow, but I'm not his biggest fan.  I just think he's decent.

    I concur.
