ESPN is reporting Amari Cooper to the Cowboys for next years 1st rd pick

 

 

 

 

Ankle problems, drop issues, 2nd consecutive down year and coming off of his rookie deal. A #1 seems pretty nuts.

It certainly is very high. But Jerry Jones has done this twice before, With poor results

 

[Josh 12,725]

Good win Colts!  Great game by Luck

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Leonard is money. But the rest of the defense has to catch up with him.

[mamasa 15,393]

First game I've felt like the Colts were playing to win, rather than trying not to lose

[KingPG21 6,587]

Probably a bit premature on my end, but Colts found their running back. Mack is a monster.

 

Its funny, not here, but other places the anti-Ballard crowd like to talk about how his first draft didn't bring in contributors because Banner and Basham...... lol, yeah Mack, Hooker, Walker, Hairston have all shown they can be good contributors. But the Grigson fan boys can't get over him

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,721]

Yeah, I’ll admit Mack has looked the part. Pretty impressive even.

The competition though is why I’m withholding judgement for now.

Buffalo and Oakland are 2 of the worst teams in the league.

Buffalo's defense is one of the best in the NFL. Their offense is just horrible

[Dalton26 16,892]

The O-Line has been playing extremely well over the last couple weeks too. Gotta give credit where it’s due after having a joke of an o-line for the last several years.

Ballard is a bright spot. I don’t know how anyone can say he’s not done a good job

Because the Grigson fan boys seem to honestly believe he had a clue when it came to looking attalent evaluation..... he didn't. They go as far as crediting Luck as a brilliant pick. Yeah, no ****, the only idiots that were even suggesting RG3 above Luck in that draft were people who didn't understand football, didn't understand the NFL, or just trolls

Colts can honestly win all eight of their remaining games. Jaguars X2, Titans X2, Texans, Dolphins, Giants and Cowboys. They’re not out of the playoff hunt just yet

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Admitedly thats true...but unlikely. None are offensivly powerhouses with Houston being the best in that area. All are solid defensive teams.

[Hoosier Guy 7,561]

I’m not saying it’s likely. But the Colts have a chance in all of those games. Just have to keep bringing it every week

[BGVille Hoosierfan 2,913]

What's crazy is if they had taken the tie in that Houston game they'd be 1 game out of first place in the AFC South and control their own destiny...if they would've won they'd be in first place. Crazy. They'll definitely make things interesting down the stretch having the easiest remaining schedule in the NFL. Having the players back and healthy has made a HUGE difference, especially Mack and Castanzo.

An offensive lineman won offensive rookie of the month?  Impressive.  I wonder how often that happens

[mdn82 25,546]

That is impressive. Really good draft tbh.

Colts NFL Rookie of the Month Winners.

[TheWatShot 14,294]

Luck hasn't been sacked for 3 games. That probably had a lot to do with Nelson winning it.
