It's this game or the season, right?
 

Just saying that yes we beat the chiefs, but if we fail to win against our third division rival in the last 4 weeks, no one has any reason at all to take us seriously, right?

If we had lost to the Chiefs last week, then this would have been the game of the season.

We won last week, therefore THAT GAME (against the Chiefs) was the game of the season ...... subsequently, this game against the Titans on Sunday is a very big game, but not necessarily a make-or-break game for the season.

Colts have 6 division games. Bowen was saying that of the last 5 AFC south winners, they all won either 4 or 5 of those 6.

Colts have played 2 and don’t have a win.

If they lose Sunday, they can pretty much rule out winning the division.

Generally speaking there is a high correlation, but not necessarily. The Division games are obviously important because they make up 35% of your games. But look at 2010 for example:

-The Kansas City Chiefs won the AFC West at 10-6 although they had a 2-4 division record.

-The Oakland Raiders finished 3rd in the AFC West and missed the playoffs at 8-8 despite sweeping the division 6-0.

Hey ...... your moving in on my action as the board's historian. o ;)

Watch your toes!

Really, I'm fascinated by that kind of stuff and I like it for perspective.

No. Hell no. Fuck. No.

It's the fourth game out of 17.

By the end of the season, 1-2-1 on October 2 will look very little different than 2-1-1, or even 1-1-2, for that matter.

Nor will them playing like crap be a definitive statement on whether they will improve and take the division or go in the crapper and be the worst team in the league.

It's week four. Coaching and improving happens, whether you believe it or not.

R-E-L-A-X

They shouldn’t have ties in the NFL. Fucking stupid.

Yes, No, Maybe so. It would be a huge setback, but win out from there and we probably win the division. Nothing is set in stone this early and what anyone thinks means fuck all.

Disagree, win the game in the time allowed, or deal with it, over time rules are bigger bullshit than ties. Outside of playoffs obviously.

If we lose the season isn't completely over, but any chance of us winning the division probably are :cool:.

Without regular-season ties, I wouldn't be able to post my usual dickwad predictions for the Colts' annual season record thread, which always includes a tie.

o

When the season began, I believed they would be 2 and 1 going into this game. After the first 2 very disappointing games they appeared to right the ship in game 3. To me, this game is a test to determine if last week was an anomaly or are they really beginning to live up to the billing we all presumed they deserve. If they lose this game, IMO they will not make the playoffs.

well that sure would be a shame

In my rat's ass of an opinion, today's loss was a setback, but not a season-breaker ...... the Colts looked like 2 different teams in the same game today. I suspect that the "better" Colts will show up more than the "awful" Colts as the season progresses.

1-2-1 after 4 games, with 13 games still left to play.

o

Very little chance to win the division after today. Blow it all up, from the top down, in the off season and rebuild again. Absolutely shambolic fraud of a team this year.

Stop kidding yourself... This team will win 7-8 games. Just enough to screw us in the many ways they have done the past several years.

yep.

bench ryan and play like the season is over. because it is

o


They might go 4-12-1, they might go 7-9-1, and they might go 10-6-1 ...... it is still far too early to tell how the season will go.

The Colts have been the weirdest team in the NFL for about 5 years now, and this still very-young season is no different ...... beating the Chiefs, losing to a Titans team who were blown off the field by a score of 41-7 to the Bills and who barely got by the winless Raiders in their next game, etc.

o

They don't have the QB or the coach to win 10 games and that's a terrible combination.

o


I think that they have the QB, but the offensive line has been so awful that it nullifies him (the QB.) Believe it or not, Ryan's numbers were very solid in the Colts' last 2 games ...... if he had had even average blocking from the offensive line, we could very well have been seeing the Ryan who was in his prime with the Falcons.

So I agree with your general sentiment in regard to the offense, but I think that the problem is much more the offensive line than it is the quarterback. If the offensive line can somehow upgrade their play from awful to average over the final 13 games of the season, the Colts will have at least a prayer for a winning season and a playoff berth ...... if not, forget it.

o

The division is most likely gone. That should be their only job until the playoffs.

Yep...the next 3 games are @Denver, Jax, @Titans.
