**Indianapolis at New England** (-4.5) (40.5) (1 Viewer)

NE D/ST is a start. And with a bye week 10 looking to hold and grab NO before MNF. Will have to drop a player to do this. Watching C Samuel (really want to hold), Pacheco (really would like to see him excel), or D Watson (acquired both Prescott and Fields this week). FYI - dropped Brady for Fields. Gotta let go of the big names for risers.

D Jackson should see a good amount of volume for IND. Otherwise, I'm seeing a low scoring R Stevenson kind of game. NE 23 - IND 16

Also went Justin Fields this past week as my back up across several leagues. I have Joe Burrow mostly as my starter and Fields gets Detroit on Burrow's bye week, also feels like Burrow is struggling without Chase, like to keep my options open.

Very smart, Maxwell. Play your QB's against the Lions. I noticed Fields schedule which was a bonus. I missed out early on QB's and have been shuffling around ever since. Ended up back with Tua in another league. Starting Fields in the other over Brady. Dak and D Watson on bench for now. I may have to drop Watson. I know it's a separate question, but any thoughts on D Watson weeks 13-17, MoP?

You must be in the shadows in some of my leagues
Why others didn't do what i am about to tell you, have no idea.
About a week ago I used my I/R and S slot on Watson mostly so he isn't on someone else's roster but the plan is to have him as my QB2 Week 13/14 and see what he does, no real plans to play him but just in case he gets hot. Hard to trust Watson after almost 2 full seasons away from the game and there is a moral dilemma for many but I just don't want to see someone else pick him up and use him against me in the Playoffs.
 
Lord Vader continues to show why he's in the GOAT coach conversation. Indy has underperformed and just looks disorganized and clueless,no upset here,..

Patriots- 27
Colts- 17
 
Damien Harris not expected to be active today, so expect another big workload for Stevenson. Won’t know officially for another hour.

I'm surprised to hear that. Maybe they are not taking Indy seriously but I don't think the Pats are good enough to not be hyped up for whoever they play.

Harris was out sick all week. The writing was in the wall. They elevated two backs from the practice squad yesterday. It has nothing to do with taking the Colts lightly.

BB takes everyone seriously, even at the height of the Brady years he could turn every opponent into the 1985 Bears...nowadays, there is not a team that can't beat them if they don't show up as the Bears games proved.
 
This Schooler kid must make BB feel all funny...he is making plays on every special teams play.
 
I know it would make Colts fans feel good if Irsay fired Reich at halftime, but that’s all it would accomplish.
 
Lol diving catch 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage with the clock running and 30 seconds left. Unbelievable how little some of these football players understand football.

Mac looking below average today.

I have less faith in him with each game. There are some guys getting open, but he usually only looks at one or two guys. With a patchwork OL, he can’t just look at Meyers and wait to see if he can get open.

Agreed...was very happy with him last year but he has not improved...is not playing with any confidence.
 
8 sacks, 7 three and outs, 4th down stop, blocked kick, 94 total yards allowed

Pats DT with 30.25 points in our format
 
This is the same game script for NE from the past 4 years. They can usually beat teams with inexperienced QBs with other key pieces injured. That covers up a weak offensive performance. That won’t cut it against better teams.
 
Imagine being Coach Irsay right now

From giving a first for 17 games of Wentz, giving more picks for 7 games of Matt Ryan.....to this 🤣🤣🤣
 
I’ve seen a lot of really bad Indianapolis Colts games over the years. That was on of ‘em.
I think it’s time for Reich and Ballard to be fired.

I agree about Reich, but not Ballard. Yes, he’s responsible for the Wentz and Ryan fiascos, but he’s made some good decisions on defense And I thought Nelson and Kelly were good picks on the OL, even if the OL sucks right now. Just a couple of years ago the OL was considered top 3 in the league, but I knew they had pass blocking issues back then and was a better run blocking unit.
