Flex only happens late in season and as bad as they've been I think that a good way to keep it

Ok, I was wondering, why we have seen Miami and the colts a few times as well.

No reason for Flex Scheduling to not start after Week 2 at least.

It was part of their contract with the NFL for Sunday night games that it wouldn't start until later in the season. Not sure why

Probably has something to do with FOX, and CBS not wanting some of their exciting early season match-ups taken away from them.

Overall this was a fairly mediocre week of Football in general, not much options to flex even if they could. Maybe Detroit/Atlanta and even that was a fairly sloppy game today.

It's be unfair to Fox/CBS to have every major game flexed for the most part all season imo.

I don't think the Colts got the memo that Colston is full healthy or even playing.

As far as the Colts, I never realized how vital Peyton is to his team than any other player in the league.

Virtually every single WR/RB/TE the Colts drafted in the Peyton Manning era turned out to be productive.

Either Bill Polian is an amazing GM, the Colts have magic dust on their jerseys, or Lord Manning is chief warlord of the NFL.

Given that the Colts look like a talentless void without Manning and magic does not exist, it's the latter.

But it's unfair to us to have to see blowout after blowout on SNF and MNF. Sports are about entertainment, and these games are hardly entertaining. Maybe after week four would be fair, since by then the landscape of the NFL has established itself fairly well.

All hail Lord Manning, chief warlord of the NFL.

The Colts without Peyton are like the Cavs without LeBron....

I disagree, we know little about teams this early in the season, the Colts nearly beat the Steelers but as soon as hearing Manning was out that would have been flexed. Only the last 2 weeks has the score on SNF been greater than 7... and it was 17 and 11 points.

Tonight will be the biggest point differential for the Colts this season, but their recent games give plenty of hope that it could have been a better game tonight having not lost any games by more than 1 score since being blown out week 1 and last week's 10 point lost in Cincinnatti.

This is just painful to watch. Warm up the bus, it's time to go home boys.

Exactly.

I mean, CBS and Fox only total for $8 billion of the NFL's $20 billion in TV contracts.

This is just brutal. I feel bad for Indianapolis.
