quick thoughts on the terrible titans game

No. They'd be extremely stupid to play him if he's healthy and the Colts have no shot at a playoff spot.

I'm definitely down like mostly everyone else, but I still have a strong feeling that they have a shot.

They are not that deep in the hole compared to Tennessee, and fuck those fags anyway. Indy will beat them in Indianapolis.

Its still early. They need to get healthy. But I think a reoccurring issue sinks the team again, no pass rush. Unless one of these guys steps up.

I read this morning we have played 14 games without TY since his rookie year in 2012. We have won one.

If you look at the remaining schedule, any reasonable person can see this team can realistically go 9-5 the rest of the way...get an upset win and they could go 10-7 and win the division.

But going all in on Wentz with no experienced proven back up will likely cost them any chance of a post season!

[Oldcolt]

I believe with Wentz we can go 10-7. His lack of vaccination makes me think we will have to be very lucky for him not to miss any games because of it. One more obstacle that Colts players have put there themselves

that doesn't seem reasonable to me at all:

Colts at Dolphins - Win seems likely
Colts at Ravens - no way
Texans at Colts - win
Colts at 49ers - seems unlikely to me, I think we go 0-4 against the NFCW
Titans at Colts - win
Jets at Colts - win
Jags at Colts - win

At this point, winning 3 in a row and 4 of 5 would seem like a nice streak, and we'd be 5-5.
But then...

Colts at Bills - loss
Buccs at Colts - loss
Colts at Texans - toss up. Do we have TY?
Pats at Colts - win (i hope)
Colts at Cardinals - loss
Raiders at Colts - loss (unless they melt down, they are currently kicking people's ass)
Colts at Jags - loss (toss up maybe?)

They way I have it, we would end up with only 1 win after the 5-5 mark, ending up 6-11.
Now if we win at Texans AND at Jags, we can be 8-9, but that is the best case scenario as far as I can see, and one I do not consider to be entirely realistic. I cannot reasonably see where we'd get 1-2 more wins and finish 9-8. 10-7 is outlandish at this point

An even more reasonable person would say, "Let's beat the Dolphins on Sunday, soak up that win and enjoy it, and don't even think about the remaining plethora of games."

The 2018 Colts started out at 1-5, and finished at 10-6 ...... if this team has anything like that in them, it will show up over time. If they don't, then it won't. Just win this one game, and focus on the next one when it comes.

I appreciate your effort here, and you make a good argument, but I think the Colts are capable of sweeping the Texans and Jags, and beating the Raiders...the 49ers or Cardinals would be tough to pull off but far from outlandish. But if they lose to the Dolphins it blows everything up!
