Feels like a trap game for the Bengals… The Jets are a pro team after all, just look what happen do with the a Titans. Hopefully we stick to giving Chase and Mixon the ball.

I forgot that Wilson is not playing. You may be right.

 

The Jets are playing Mims. He was in the Jets doghouse.

I thought Michael Carter scored a TD before the end of the half. I was not following. He seemed to have a OBJ-type catch. Was there a flag?

@RollerColt Instead of watching Bengals and Jets, I followed the Colts game thread and watched highlights of games on NFL Network. It seemed that the Bengals were winning this game. What happened?

They completely overlooked their opponent. Plus they went against a completely unknown QB in White. In reality, the defense simply let the team down today. No excuse to allow the Jets to score that many points. 
 

I’m pretty worried that the Colts D will follow suit this Thursday.

I hope not. The Colts coaching staff has to help the Colts D. Tennessee would not have scored so many points if the Colts ran the ball more. Even in clear running situations when you want to use up the clock, the Colts chose to pass.  I did not get it.

 

I wrote in the game thread that this reminds me a lot of when John DeFilippo was hired as the Vikings OC. He had just come off winning a SB with Coach Pederson and Reich who was the OC. DeFilippo frustrated the fans and Coach Zimmer with what appeared to be a refusal to run the ball. Coach Zimmer asked him to run the ball and when he did not, he was fired before the end of the first season there.

Do Jameis might have a ACL injury. I wouldn’t be shocked if they call up Rivers. He did say he’d be available late for a contender.


Life would come a full circle if Rivers succeeds Brees just like with the Chargers for a last hurrah  :)

Not really. Ridley (ATL) is inactive again for ??

 

I'm interested to see if Lamb gets fined again lol.

 

Mostly interested in how many snaps Dayo gets.

Ridley might never come back. Shocking to quasi retire in his prime. I feel for falcon fans because we understand how it feels to get blindsided by our best player...

Calvin Ridley left football for his mental health. It sounds like he will be out for the season, maybe even retire. He has been having a lot of personal issues lately. 

 

Jameis Winston is out for the season. It's crazy; Brady and the Bucs, who are suppose to be so great, lost to Trevor Siemian. Brady's interception in the fourth quarter was good to watch. Who did Brady think he was: Carson Wentz?? (Not nice, but I'm not happy with Wentz right now.)

Patrick Mahomes is looking like a shell of himself. He does not see the field well and seems too afraid to make mistakes and is not playing loose thus actually making mistakes. 

 

State Farm Game of The Week coming up between Mahomes and Rodgers next week, Packers are going to crush them.

I wonder if it would help KC for Andy Reid to give up play calling duties. The team apparently needs a change of some kind. Their trick plays often backfire, and Mahomes just doesn't look comfortable. Another person could make a positive difference. 

I thought he was already essentially forced to do that years ago. I was under the impression Eric Bienamy had been calling plays for a while.

    • Looking at OTC now.  Seems like we may have around 10-12M cap space left to go after players in FA.  Do the Colts sign I player or break it down to a few small signings.  Still seeing who is available and limited on time.  Still am high on WR Quez Watkins and seeing the Dolphins are also interested in him.  Watkins played under Shane and figured he would be one of his targets in FA.     Both SS, assuming Cross is the starter, but FS is main focus and probably in the draft.   Not sold one too many true FS from college and sure you seen prior post about how slow these CBs are and a move to FS probably best for their career in the NFL.  Especially Khyree Jackson who has a lot of the overall skill set of Cooper DeJean and might be a viable option later in the draft.     
    • I’d like Crossby!   I really like Mitchell, but I just don’t see more youth being a good thing for our CB room. Even if the Sneed thing is made up I still think we should go for a vet.    I hope we can get Cooper in the 2nd. I’d prefer a WR (or Bowers) at 15, but right now I think we’re looking at DE.    Powers-Johnson looks greats, but of all the things we could do I think OL is probably the least likely at 15.    Lots of needs. Safety is probably the biggest, but I don’t think any of them are worth the 15th overall. 
    • @Solid84   Still holding out hope we trade our R1P15 to LV for Maxx Crosby give them draft capital to move up for their QB.    If we sit at P15, draft CB Quinyon Mitchell.  Latest report seen was the Colts haven't even talked trade for Sneed.  False news, who knows, time will tell?    If Mitchell is gone before P15 then see a trade back and draft WLB Edgerrin Cooper or OL Jackson Powers-Johnson. 
    • I like it overall, but I don't think there's a snowballs chance in hell we're drafting Kinchens after his atrocious Combine. With a RAS of 2.27 he's not even a blip on Ballard's radar lol.
    • Sorry late to the party line chat on Page 57 of 94   Skyy Moore, deleted that draft class and notes but Moore seemed to have some potential but wasn't sold on him.  Viewed Moore as an average receiver not much more.  I wouldn't trade for him.   If you were looking to trade for any WR, I would suggest targeting the Packer's Dontayvion Wicks.    As for some of these other comments that I have read up and not going to ready through 30 pages.  Colts spent 200M on most of their own (top NFL) players,    Recent news I saw is that the Colts haven't had any communication talks about trading for Sneed.  How true that is or not to be seen.  Seems the Colts have done a lot spending 200M on their own and doubt we have much cap space left to sign a big-name player like Sneed.  Still haven't seen latest cap space figures since our latest signing.     The Colts build through the draft and those expectations will not change this season.  Again, our organization was lucky enough to sign some of our best positional players.  Sadly, not everyone can get resigned and do expect Blackmon to move on.  Latest rumor is Blackmon signs with the Bills.
