My bad. Don't know why it seemed like they were on bye last week. Maybe it was Brown on my fantasy bench... he was on bye for me, lol.

I think the main point he's making is that Sanders has only played 2 games this year and the Colts D has played pretty well, so while a healthy Sanders would make them better, not having him isn't the huge problem it was 2 or 3 years ago.

Believe it or not, the Texans actually had a realistic chance of sweeping the Colts last year. (Rosencopter game, and had the ball with a chance to win on the last drive in Indy) This is by far the best Texans team the Colts will have ever seen. The defense has been on fire, and the offense is top 10 again. The Texans can win, but they'll need a close to perfect performance.

That had to be one of the funniest and dumbest plays ever in the history of the NFL. What a dumb ***.

On another note, go Texans!!

wats this guys deal? do you watch football? Sanders has litterally been injured all this time. Him not playing on Sunday is no different then him not playin in week 2, or week 5 for that matter, im not sure how you see Sanders not playing as some sort of deal breaker. Check your facts man.

We see that the Colts' D is doing good this year even without Sanders. I think the point people are tyring to make is this, the Colts with Bob Sanders are a better team than the Colts without Bob Sanders.

Yeah, Indy's been doing just fine without him, but that doesn't mean that they still wouldn't rather have him in there.

The Colts' D has been just fine without him, expect this game to be no different. Colts will win in a rout IMO.

No, the guy I quoted is comparing the Owens Injury to the Sanders injury, and is trying to say that a different Colts team will show up vs the Texans because of the Sanders Injury, which is comical to say the least.
