Braden Smith activated

Thank goodness.

 

Now, let's see what AC does.

[Dingus McGirt]

Pretty amazing how key players hit the COVID list just in time to miss huge games, and then return right after.  :^)

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I guess his voice always sounds like that lol. Football gods he could of missed this game and been fine  but instead be missed the game where he was the most important.

Apparently not. It’s been five days.

Well how convenient. This year will definitely have an asterisk when I look back on it later. Soo many games and teams affected. Let alone no preseason and limited practices.

And we're not done yet. It will be interesting to see how covid affects the rest of this week and playoffs. Teams are not allowed to do mandatory "bubbles" for the playoffs, so there is bound to be some cases/contacts.

This is good news.

Yep. I mean we could of handled the jags fine without Smith. But it had to be against the Steelers. Then you have the titans. We should be very proud of a 11-5 record. Bad circumstances.

Honestly the players should just do it themselves as much as possible.  Don't go out to eat, just get takeout, do grocery pickup, order anything else you need from Amazon.  Do what it takes to keep yourself available for the playoffs.

I believe 80% of them will do this. It's the 20% knuckleheads you need to watch out for! And really, it only takes one.

Considering we lost the first game, I'm not going to take anything for granted.  Especially when winning this game is absolutely crucial towards any chance of making the playoffs.

The stars are beginning to align !!

[IinD]

Yes please.

And can we have the guy on the other side back please?

I have to wonder about the accuracy of the tests.  I know they're using a rapid PCR test.

 

I know from experience that even the PCR test can have false positives, but that's what the NFL is banking on.

Not really. It already cost us the game we needed. It’s probably to late. Covid seems to know what players to target for the team we play lol.

[CR91]

Please please please just put Nelson at LT. I don't get why the colts are being so stubborn about this. Do we really need to see Chaz Green out there more to further prove he can't play.

Holder or Keefer (Cant remember which) mentioned today that with it being known earlier in the week they think he could be at LT as he would have more time to get ready and some others have said no big DT on Jags

Because they like to run behind Nelson and Kelly and don’t want to lose that.  Romo did a great job highlighting this in the Steelers game.  Also in the Steelers game you had a much bigger threat in Hayward in the middle of their line than the blindside pass rusher with Dupree out.  They also had a pretty good fillin in Holden so the left side of the line held up well until Holden went out.  So they had reasons it wasn’t just them being stubborn about it.  
 

This week is a different story.  They might be forced to explore moving Nelson to tackle. That’s an option.  Another is to maybe move Smith over or play the guy they just signed out of retirement.  What’s clear by that move is that the Colts know Green and Webb aren’t the answer.
