@EastStreet You seem to be up on all NFL news. Why is Denzell Mims in the Jets' doghouse?

 

Jets may win this game.  Colts may be the only winner in this division.

 

Vikes still losing. 14-7

Not sure. I read somewhere they wanted him to learn all three WR positions before he'd get PT.

Seems pretty silly...

Took injuries to get him on the field.

Would have liked to have seen better result there from the D on last Miami drive. Obvious passing situation for the Dolphins offense. An opportunity for pass rush to tee off on the QB and instead they moved the ball relatively easily with some long completions.

I'm happy for today, but we're not winning in Baltimore playing this defense


I mean that’s the thing. Yeah we’re going to (likely) come away with a win (*long, awkward pause*) but we KNOW how feckless an offense under Brissett can be, when we get back to having to play good QBs…

I think they got caught unprepared. That and Rodgers is not good.

Wentz can be scattershot with his throws & suspect reading the defense but he’s winning me over today.   Had he played like this all season we’d be 3-1 at worst.  Just gotta be good on 3rd down & red zone. Keep grinding & climbing. Go Colts.

    • And those are about the best signings the Colts have done under Ballard in 8 years.    Has Ballard even spent over $10+m once in a FA? Gilmore maybe? That’s once. In going on 8 years.    Noone does what Ballard does and he hasn’t had success doing it, so noone’s trying to replicate it. 
    • For your consideration….   Nobody knew who Ebukam was when the Colts signed him week 2 last year.   And nobody knew who Denico Autry was when the Colts signed him in week 2.   “Who?” Was the most popular comment both times.  They turned out really well.      Im not sayin Ballard is going to do it again this year, it hasn’t happened every year, all I’m saying it’s happened from time to time so it’s still possible that CB will find a keeper that people here will like. 
    • Could he do it?  Sure, but it is much tougher for him than most owners in the NFL.  The Colts just layed out $200 million this free agency.  I imagine over half in guaranteed money.  That’s a lot for Jim. 
    • With all that said...       
    • Spending doesn't mean you will win. You still need to spend smart and you still need to draft well and overall make good decisions.    Not spending limits you in your roster construction. I don't know why it's so hard for people to understand. The best teams in the league use ALL available avenues for improving their team. They do not limit themselves artificially with what's possible to achieve. They also concentrate resources into windows of contention. This means at any given time, if you are not spending you are competing against teams that are pouring resources into trying to win it RIGHT NOW. You will just always be at disadvantage because while 1 specific team will need to reload and take their lumps for spending too much in short period of time once in a while, the league as a whole will always have at least a few teams that are in that high spending mode chasing a window for contention.    Now... is it possible you strike gold and beat those teams while relying almost exclusively on the draft? It's possible. If you string together a few insane draft classes. But it's not very likely...
