New Orleans Is A 14-Point Favorite

Sounds about right to me...unfortunately. 38-24 Saints. Colts score slightly above their average because the Saints defense has problems of its own but Brees lights us up as our secondary continues to play clueless under Coyer.

Colts will score a majority of their points during mop up time.

Come on Colts fans...where's the faith?! The Saints have not been amazing this year like they were in previous years. Brees has thrown his share of picks. Ingram is good but he's still a rook that hasn't yet seen the wrath of the Angerer, Conner, Bethea box stacking. Their defense hasn't been much better than ours. Same holes in their secondary they just have a better coordinator. They also just lost to the Bucs...who we led against for 90% of the game. I'm sure Brees will have his way with the secondary...but as long as they can hold them to fgs somtimes that shouldn't be any more of a problem than Rothlisberger was. Also...you can NEVER forget about FREETHIS! They gave him rations of mod edit in the Super Bowl! The more he drops back to pass...the more chances of a sack fumble. Painter gets better every week and continues to surprise with his timing routes. Look for Garcon to have a big game. He's clearly Painters favorite and Christiansen seems to call a lot of screen plays his way...which was one of the ways we scored in the Super Bowl. I don't see any reason we can't win this game. Defense needs to step up like they did in the Steelers game and the offense needs to keep it simple with screens, plenty of runs, short passes and leave the deep ball alone. Every seems to forget that while we might be 0-6...2 of those games were lost in the 4th quarter after leading the whole time...and 2 were lost on bad timing turnovers during the would be game winning drive. As long as Coyer steps his game up, there's absolutely no reason we can't pull off the upset. GO COLTS!!

Saints 45 Colts 6 and Caldwell will loss his job

I predicted last Sunday that New Orleans would be Indy's first win.

Is there any way both of these could happen at the same time? What a utopian thought that is. Maybe Caldwell getting fired would be an Indy win?

SPIN.....

35-7 Saints.

Caldwell is cited by the NFL for sleeping with his eyes open on the sidelines.

Tressel announces that he wants to be called "The Puppet Master."

Irsay tweets, "Sittin' here at Cafe Du Monde. Man, these beignets are great! Oh, crap! the game's starting."

On a serious note, it could be a trap game for NO depending on how our defense plays. Every once and a while, they surprise us. But I do see Brees lighting up the field.

True that. I'd never seen so much powdered sugar in one place before...

I really loved the city of New Orleans when I went down there to work with Habitat for Humanity a few years back. Went twice and it's just a cool, cool place.

    • I was thinking a bit about what Ballard said in that clip from "Behind the Colts", about "he's not going to get much bigger". No idea if he was talking about Worthy... but if he is... he's right. Whether Worthy ends up playing at 165 or 176... this is still extremely small and light. Whether he's in the 1st percentile or 5th percentile of athlete's in weight in the league, this doesn't change the type of player and type of worries you would have about him with any significance. So... in a way, I kind of find that conversation a bit pointless. IMO the question should be - okay. he is small... and he will always be small. Can we work with that? And can we live with the risk of injury for that small of a player? And the answer can be no here... I'm not saying we necessarily need to take that risk. 
    • You think the Ed Dodds you see in edited clips here is the same as the Ed Dodds who interviews with teams?   I don’t know you or anyone would think that?      He’s very much respected around the NFL which is why multiple teams ask to interview with them most every year. 
    • I was too hahaha  Why’s that
    • Round 1 - #15 A. Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas B. Brian Thomas, WR, LSU C. Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia   Round 2 - #46  A. Edgerrin Cooper, LB, Texas A&M B. Marshall Kneeland, DE, Western Michigan C. Jaden Hicks, S, Washington State   Round 3 - #82 A. Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon B. Darius Robinson, DE/DT, Missouri C. Ben Sinnott, TE, Kansas State   Round 4 - #117 A. Jalyx Hunt, DE, Houston Christian B. Mason McCormick, OG, South Dakota State C. Malik Washington, WR, Virginia   Round 5 - #151 A. Beaux Limmer, OC, Arkansas B. Tanor Bortolini, OC, Wisconsin C. Isaac Guerendo, RB, Louisville   Round 6 - #191 A. Decamerion Richardson, CB, Mississippi State B. Qwan'tez Stiggers, CB, Toronto C. Nick Gargiulo, OC, South Carolina   Round 7 - #234 A. Millard Bradford, SS, TCU B. Mark Perry, FS, TCU C. Dalton Tucker, OG, Marshall   BONUS: Will the Colts trade the #15 pick this year?  A: Yes, they will trade back.  
    • Yeah... Richardson needs players who can separate and who can get open deep. IMO "give the inaccurate QB a contested catch receiver with large catch radius" is one of the tropes that hasn't proven to work well. Contested catches have about 50-55% success rate even with the best of contested catch receivers and with relatively accurate QBs... now if you think AR's accuracy is not good, drop that rate even more. The best way to give a relatively inaccurate QB better chance to complete passes is to give him a WR who separates and and who is open so the QB would have more of a margin for error to throw the ball a little behind or ahead or a little higher or lower than ideal. (we are not talking about uncatchable balls here... those will be uncatchable for anyone really). In that regard, one thing I would agree about is - we need WRs who have good hands and have good ball skills.   And this is ignoring that AR has indeed been pretty good with his accuracy on passes at intermediate and long range. His biggest problem coming into the league was the short stuff and he was already showing improvements in that deparment before he got injured.    And Worthy is the WR who created the most separation from anybody in this draft :
