Colts can win out and still miss playoffs

Actually, I look at the bigger picture ...... if the Colts win their final 2 games to finish the season at 10-7 overall and miss the playoffs, that would far exceed the expectations of most Colts fans prior to the start of the season, ESPECIALLY considering the fact that Anthony Richardson missed almost the entire season due to injury. Gardner Minshew has been an adequate back-up, but he has not been the kind of QB that a team can count on to perhaps bail them out of an otherwise bad game by the rest of the team to steal a win.

One of the Colts' wins came against the team with the best record in the NFL (the Ravens), and they were flat-out robbed of another win against another very good team (the Browns) ...... so while I was extremely frustrated at their losses to the Bengals and the Falcons down the home-stretch, I won't necessarily be thinking that it served them right to miss out on the post-season if they do wind up going 10-7 overall.

That's not a prediction ...... that's an "IF" they win their last 2 games to finish at 10-7 overall ...... and right now, that's a very big "IF."

To be fair even if we lose out and finish 8-9 we will have exceeded expectations.

So as of now, the Steelers won, and the Bengals are on the ropes. If the Bengals do win, the Colts would get knocked out if both the Bengals and Ravens won (ie the Steelers would lose) regardless of a Colts victory.

But hopefully Kansas City can just put them out here and the Colts control their own destiny.

Lucky for us the line judge was cross-eyed....missed an obvious offsides, and I think he missed another one after that but CBS didn't show it!

Too bad it’s not rookie vs rookie

Fucking awesome right.

Like I know next week isn't technically a playoff game, but it pretty much is a playoff game, so the atmosphere should be intense. Much like the Colts/Titans game a few years...sheesh, was it 5 years ago now back?
