So let me get this right..... If it came down to the last game of the yr and we needed the pats to beat the steelers and that is the only way it would be possible.... you would not root for the Pats?

It certainly helps me.

I was rooting for a tie, hurts both teams.

I feel dirty hoping Brady gets the TD here

God I hate rooting for the pats, of course they let us down

Well Fuck.... guess we need to hope Brees can knock them out next week

The one time I want those pricks to win. Shit.

You should

Fuckin' pats fags

Can't win when we need them to.

And I am pretty sure the Texicans move to the 2 seed now

So the pats must go on the road. Excellent

Chargers can eliminate the Cheats so we can all laugh at Brady. Well, now that I think about it, we could be the team they face if we get the sixth seed.

So much for whoever it was who said the Cheats are on the road to yet another SB.

If business is handled in Indy next weekend, it should come down to handling business in Tennessee. Steelers and Ravens both playing teams on the road. Both home teams have a lot on the line.

We can beat NE. Not as confident in beating the Steelers

8 - 6


A) ) The Colts could still get as high as a #2 seed if they win their last 2 games ........ they would need the Texans to lose 2 games, the Patriots to lose 2 games, and the Steelers and the Ravens to lose 1 game apiece.


B) ) A little more likely than that would simply winning the division title by winning their last 2 games, and hoping that the Texans lose their last 2 games.


C) ) Even more likely than that would be a wildcard berth ........ in which case the only help they would need would be for the Steelers or the Ravens to lose 1 of the 4 remaining games that they have left between them (in addition to the Colts winning out, and finishing at 10-6 overall.)


o

Dolphins are not mathematically out of winning their division. They win out and NE loses the next two...

o

As unlikely as it is, the Colts could still conceivably get the #2 seed and a first-round bye.

If the loss vs Houston causes us to miss the playoffs I will be sick.

In other news Brady looked washed this week.

This feels like 1995 all over again. I am loving it.

For this old timer it harkens back to 1975. You had a young franchise QB (jones) with a first year coach(Marchibroda) with a lot of young talent on both sides of the ball. The team started slowly(1-4) but the talent started to jell
and the team went through the rest of their schedule like a runaway locomotive. And on a foggy day in Memorial stadium they beat the mighty
Dolphins of Don Shula and secured the division crown.
This year feels a lot like that. They may or may not make the playoffs(I think
they will) but then as now you get the feeling that this is the start of something big. It's been a good experience, among the better ones I've had in
the decades I've been following sports.

o

They actually secured the division title the following week, when they beat the Patriots in the season finale ........ both teams were tied at 9-4 after that overtime win over the Dolphins in Week 13, and Miami beat Denver on Saturday afternoon on national television the next week to finish at 10-4.

The 9-4 Colts KO'd the Patriots the following day (Sunday) to close out the season at 10-4, and took the AFC East crown due to a 2-game sweep over the Dolphins in head-on play.

By "secured" I meant that it put them in the drivers seat to win the division,
which they did the following week as you correctly pointed out. Kind of
like how the U.S. hockey team's win over the USSR did not give them the
Gold medal right then and there, they still had to beat Finland.

Mariota is questionable for Sunday Night's nationally televised showdown with the Colts.


Titans Uncertain if Mariota will Play vs. Colts

(By Kevin Hickey)

o

He will play

First quarter, at least. Who knows when he will be knocked out of the game. Maybe we should start a poll...

Depends on which Colts defense shows up.

o

In my rats' ass of an opinion, the Colts got the best of both worlds in their game against the Giants.

They played crappy for more than half of the game, but still won ........ so they got a wake-up call to remind them that they were not necessarily as great as they looked in their 23-0 shutout against the Cowboys, yet they still managed to escape said game with a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.


I suspect that the defense will play better against the Titans, although not necessarily as well as they played in their previous meeting in Indianapolis, which the Colts easily won by a score of 38-10 ........ and only 3 of those 10 points that the Titans scored that day occurred when it actually mattered.


Reich should have them ready for this game, and I foresee that they will win by about 13 points ........ about halfway in between their margin of victory against the Giants (1) and their margin of victory against the Titans in their previous match-up (28.)

o

wtf is that guy going on about?!

I was kind of hoping you could tell me.

I think he's using numerology to "prove" that the colts win the superbowl. I couldn't get over being grossed out by the loud sniffling and snorting he was doing. I'm sure his keyboard is one giant petry dish of grossness.

o


Close. They won by 16.

The Colts will essentially be playing in their 6th playoff game against the Chiefs next weekend ........ after the Colts lost to the Jaguars 5 weeks ago to fall to 6-6 overall, everybody pretty much knew that they would have to run the table to have any real shot at making the postseason.
