In 2 consecutive games, the Colts beat 2 Texas teams ........ both times, they prevented those teams from winning their respective division titles.

A loss by the Colts last week would have given the Texans the AFC South, and a loss today would have given the Cowboys the NFC East.

Not necessarily hoping the Patriots win. Definitely hoping the Steelers lose.

Also, that's the first time that the Cowboys have been shut out since 2003.

The Quincy Carter-led Cowboys were blanked by the Patriots back then, by a score of 12-0.

In both games, Adam Vinatieri was the opposing kicker.

When the Pats play the Steelers, I find myself wishing there was a way they both could lose.

I guess the nice thing is that the Cheats lost today and the Steelers can lose next week against NO.

It doesn’t matter what other teams do the colts can only do one thing and win out everything else is outside their control

It DOES matter what other teams do.

If the Colts were sitting pretty atop the division with a record of 10-4, then yes, it wouldn't matter what everyone else did as long as they took care of business against the Giants and the Titans in their final 2 games ........ they're not sitting pretty atop the division. They are at 8-6 overall, and they need help from at least one of the 4 remaining opponents of the Steelers and the Ravens and/or both of the Texans' final 2 opponents in order to qualify for the postseason.

:rolleyes:

It most certainly does matter what other teams do. Yes its outside their control, but I bet they were rooting for the pats and they'll be rooting for the Saints next week.

True

But I’m not pulling for the pats to win anything

I did, God help me. Didn't think it was in my DNA. Naturally, the fuckers choked. Now I have to take shower.

Colts can still be the 3 seed if they win out and Houston loses out. Unlikely, but possible.

It is always nice to have a chance.

I tried to, but I was happy to see Brady in decline.

It was also nice to see them reamed by an officiating crew.

o

They could be the #2 seed and get a first-round bye if that happened, and the Patriots lost their final 2 games.


I suspect that a wildcard berth is more realistic, with the only help needed for that to happen is for the Steelers or the Ravens to lose 1 of the final 4 games that they have remaining on their schedule, but I'm not counting out any possibility.

(3 WEEKS LATER)


For good measure, they beat the Texans again (soundly) on their homefield in the Wildcard playoff game.
