Prime time game for a playoff birth

Yea!! I get to see it here in San Diego. Listened to the Raider Nation broadcast on radio of the Colt-Raiders game. Ugh!!!

Wish it had been Sunday night. Dolphins and Bills both make the playoffs either way. Colts-Texans is loser goes home AND may be for the division. We would know if it was for the division of it was Sunday night.

The Bills have not clinched yet ...... if the Bills lose and the Steelers win and the Jaguars win, the Bills are out.

Also, it's not likely, but if the above scenario plays out and the Colts and the Texans tie to finish at 9-7-1 apiece, then the Bills will be in and both the Colts and the Texans will be out.

I was pretty confident about the Raiders game, but this one just feels like disappointment is coming-much like the jags game we needed to clinch.

The Jaguars were an awful team in 2021.

The Texans are a pretty good team in 2023.

The Colts have a better chance at beating a pretty good team than they do of beating an awful team ...... after all, it's the Colts that we're talking about.

The thought of Stroud against this defense is terrifying.

I feel like we can't have nice things.

Playoffs are a nice consolation prize for fans but the reality is just like the other bottom tier teams that will go into the post season, they are not good.

The NFL no longer has those 11-5 teams missing the playoffs.

Since 1978, the only 11-5 teams to not make the playoffs were the 1985 Broncos and the 2008 Patriots.

Lots of 10-6 teams have missed the playoffs in that span (1978 through 2020.)

So C&O, this game reminds me of two games that had very different outcomes and I'm sure you remember them quite well. The regular season finales of the 77' and 89' Colts. Which outcome do you expect Saturday?
