Last week's game was even...

...and accepting that the Colts won by 3 last week..they should have won by 14

We led 20-6 with 5:30 left ....and I think Minnesota is a better team than Jacksonville...

Over-under is 43....the exact amount of points scored last week..

The Colts/Jax should go over at home.....That's probably a better bet than taking either side...

This game should be a win, if we dont turn the ball over. I think Andrew Luck goes for close to 300 yds and 2 Td's witht the return of Collie.

Is Collie planning to play, Rich...?

Becase that's a big boost...He worked well with Luck...

..and the original plan was to have Collie, Avery, Coby and Reggie......

we havent seen our best air force yet..

I say we play Collie to hopefully gain a lead and then sit him.... We should do that in every game that we get a lead in... Try to keep that guy healthy... He is a force when he is on the field.

I see where you're going with this, but to me, if you have a guy that is unable to play a whole game or you're unwilling to play him a whole game because of threat of injury then that guy is a waste of a roster spot. We need guys that can be available to contribute at all times.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Load the box, stop MJD, and put Mathis in QB Blaine Gabbart's face early and often. The Colts should win this game without much trouble IMO.

If you neutralize MJD, all you hear on the Jaguars sideline is silence and the sound of crickets chirping. Don't believe me, shh! Just be quiet and listen....

Considering that we held ap in check for the most part, if we can do the same with MJD (a tall task I know) then we should be fine. Gabbert doesn't scare me and looking at his options to throw to that doesn't scare me much either; Blackmon, Lewis, Stoval and Shorts. . . .all we gotta do is keep him and check and Luck and co. should be able to take this one. Wayne has played 20 games against jax with 117 receptions over 1600 yds and six touchdowns. I have a feeling this will help luck. We need to try (key word) and establish the run early and often so Avery can get deep on this team. Him or Hilton need to get behind the safety's a few times to scare em

I would also like to see McAfee and Co. win the field position battle with them also. They don't have too much there either :)

Not gonna be Hard to stop the holdout MJD. If we stopped AP, MJD is no problem. O-line will be reshuffled this week hopefully and Luck gets his full arsenal. We take the W at home and go into the Bye week sitting at 2-1 and get ready for the stretch of the schedule

I'm sorry but saying MJD is no problem is way off base. We have ALWAYS had a problem with him. He is the one RB that I am worried about more than any other. That man always has good games against us.

Indy vs Jagz game usually go down to the wire....

JAX is really banged up tho and I am leaning toward a blow out for the good guys...

BUT, It's Jax..... they always show up against Indy.

Had Indy not "held AP in check" I would agree... but Jax is really hurting ... I like Indy's chances.

That was in the OLD Era. this right here is a NEW one. And plus, he hasn't played much due to his Holdout. I'm sticking to my prediction that he won't be the same MJD this year like last year

43 seems high to me as the point total

If I were a gambling man (which I'm not), I'd probably take the colts and the under. I'm thinking something like 20-13 or somewhere in there. I see the Jags having moderate success on the ground and winning the time of possession, but not enough to win the game.

While I don't think MJD will be up to last year's level, I still think he'll be pretty good yet this season once he gets his legs back. I think you guys might see more Rashad Jennings than the previous two weeks. Jacksonville would be wise to limit Gabbert's influence.

Jennings is doubtful.

      Nick Cross - When Will We Know?

      I would still love if we signed Simmons but normally players get better in year 2, in Nicks case it will be year 3. Looks like Ballard trusts who he has + we still have Moore .

      They want to give the young DBs a chance, like they've been saying since the end of the season. Maybe losing Daniel Scott (again) changes things a little, making it slightly more likely that they add a veteran at some point. But it's been a month and they haven't done anything, so I assume they'll wait and see what camp looks like.   I personally would prefer that they sign a qualified veteran, even if he's not an incredible game changer. Any of the vets whose names we've been throwing around since March would be nice to have. But they obviously aren't eager to do that, and I don't think it's about cost at this point. I think it's about giving the young players room to prove themselves.    There a few veteran established safeties and corners still unsigned. I think they have options, at least for now.

      Rookie Khyree Jackson killed in crash

      This really bothers me because many people don't know this, but the Vikings are my 2nd favorite team because my father was a diehard Vikings fan. I have never really posted that I don't think, maybe I did to @NFLfanat one time? I liked Denver too when Peyton went there but who didn't lol. I grew up having to hear my dad talk about Fran the greatest QB ever and in 1998 when they had Cunningham, Moss, Carter, Smith, and Randle - it was nonstop. So this hits home with me pretty deep. That is another reason why, I always barked backed at people talking bad about Kirk, because he was actually good.

      I had him 3rd round too. He was possibly winning a starting job on the Vikings outside of Byron Murphy if I remember right. Had a bright future. Hate when this happens. As you said, only 24. Way too young to die. I just turned 37 July 1st, so that's scary to think about.

      Kid had everything, big, strong, fast, had the enjoyment of being drafted by the Vikings family, was going to make big money too. I had him going 3rd round coming out, I was close. This is really sad, only 24!
