The Colts are a team that are close to taking the next step to being a long-term Super Bowl contender but not having that first round pick next year is really going to hurt.

How did he get 1317 yards from the LOS and 12 TD's last year?

It was known in the offseason that even a healthy Cowboys didn't have the players to run Kiffin's defense.

Jones needs to just flat out stop playing mediocre players like they were superstars, based off of 1/2 of a season. Which seems to be his MO.

And there's the problem. Jones should not be part of player selection. He rode the Jimmy Johnson wagon and thought he could keep it up. Couple of thing wrong with the Boys...

1. We need a healthy Demarcus Ware.
2. Cut and hire new safeties. Scandrick sucks.
3. We need a healthy Sean Lee.
4. Bruce Carter needs to step up and learn those playbooks.
5. We need a healthy Morris Claiborne.

The NFL confirmed the obvious today and announced that the Patriots-Broncos game won't be flexed and will stay the NBC Sunday night game in week 12. Neither CBS or Fox protected a game in week 12 since there was virtually no chance the scheduled game would be flexed.

He looked really promising last year, he has regressed in a major way.

Richardson is not a great RB...great trade for Browns. So overrated

I'm up 5 with nobody left and my opponent has Lamar Miller so without that play I would have easily won, but now I'm going to lose unless Miller completely flops.

Ah so thats how AJ green got me all those points TYVM lol

Watch the Chiefs get to play the Broncos without Peyton. They basically play the backup QB (or QBs who flat out suck) every game.

Jets are big winners of Week 10. Every team that was within a half of game of them for the 2nd WC lost except for the Fins and they face the Bucs tonight. Only thing that would have made Sunday more complete would have been a Ravens loss. Now the Jets need to come out strong against the Bills.

He'll probably run all over us on Thursday though.

I'm sorry ... what? ... What does that mean? ... Is this about changing which game will be in prime time because suddenly the match up is un-even?...

(May be obvious ... but I read that and have about no idea.)

I was kind of hoping the Brocos would end that streak...

Bucs will win tonight.

And I need Lamar Miller to get no more than 4 fantasy points.

From weeks 11-17 the NFL can choose to change which game is the Sunday night prime time game on NBC. This is done so there aren't games later in the year that feature teams that are horrible or have no playoff implications. For example, this week's scheduled Sunday night football game was Green Bay-New York Giants. Because the Giants aren't doing well the NFL decided to change the prime time game to Chiefs-Broncos and moved the Packers-Giants game to late afternoon. Fox and CBS are allowed to protect 5 games which can't be flexed, although the NFL can pressure them to give up a protected game, as CBS initially protected this week's Chiefs-Broncos game.

[bhampton]

Ok cool, thanks,

Seems like the Sunday Night games will be good or SNF worthy.

Edit - so... Just curiously here... Do they move the scheduled game start in those cases?... I start to think of this and realize how much I don't know. I just can't imagine rescheduling a game when people have plans to go and all that...

[Brady_2_Moss]

tonight's game = zzzzzzzzzz


Wish they could have flexed this one out...two crap teams
