Seven games into the season and they already played twice on Sunday night and once on Monday night.
They have yet another Sunday night game on Dec. 4th against the Patriots, maybe they can hold them to under a hundred.
Finally a Thur night game on Dec 22 vs the Texans.
Don't they have a flex schedule so I don't have to watch this crap.

    You don't find it riveting to watch Peyton stand on the sidelines every game looking frustrated to be in street clothes??

    The flex schedule should be an option for the game on 12-4. Too bad it can't be applied earlier in the season.

    unfortunately the schedules are drawn up so far in advance that they can't make the changes....except for the later games as referenced as "flex games"....I'm sure there is also a lot of advertising $$$ that gets tied up based on who is playing before the season starts........and as always that drives alot of the decisions on who is shown...

    I remember the year the Aints didn't win a game until the 15th game. We were supposed to be a good team. We had a Monday Night game really late in the season against the Rams at the Superdome. National television. We lost 27-0. I'll bet the ratings were through the roof that night. I was there. Me and a few close friends. Perhaps the Colts fans shall suffer the same miserable fate this year. We even had a Manning at quarterback...

    The games are already scheduled in advance unfortunately, this team looks like it just quit after learning Manning was going to be out. Looks like the Colts will be getting a #1 draft pick next year which long term might be a good thing who knows..

    Yeah, for some reason I thought the flex games started much earlier. That would explain it, but not make it any easier to take.

    As a longtime Saints fan and a fantasy football team owner with Drew Brees at quarterback, Sunday night was anything BUT sad for me.

    The flex games usually start after week 7 or 8....no doubt the 12/4 game vs. NE gets flexed out, unless Manning makes a miraculous recovery.

    Speaking of the Colts, I haven't any posts by GRANDAM around here in a while - I wonder why? image

    I second that. I have Brees and Graham as well.
