Honestly, I am great with us being 7 of 8 instead of 8 of 8.

Losing to the Jags like we did (our offense was completely stimied by a GREAT JAX defensive performance), did more to motivate our guys then eeking out a 7-6 victory would have.

It reminded them that they are not perfect and just because you won 5 in a row does not mean you get to rest on your successes. You need to go earn them each and every week.

We got plain emarrassed by the Jags by being shutout. We then preceeded to turn around and beat two playoff contender teams who had been on hot streaks. I honestly don't know if that happens if we were not embarrassed in the JAX game.

If it means we miss out on the playoffs because of it, so be it. We were not supposed to make the playoffs this season anyway after starting 1 - 5.

Walk Worthy,

Walk Worthy,
This is a very good point, I agree.... I could imagine our mindset being very different going into the Texans game if we were on a 6-0 run vs a 5-1 run and getting blanked.

Even if we take care of business and win our next two games, we need either PIT or BAL to drop a game over the next two weeks. Either/or, not both.

However, while I agree that BAL has a tough game at KC and PIT has a nightmare game at NO, both could win those games, win out and we would be on the outside looking in.

So, I agree that I am pleased as punch with the season and consider it a success, it is not a WILL get into the playoffs. It is a MAY get into the playoffs.

Walk Worthy,

We have to think that houston will not lose to the jags.

We also have to think that Tennessee has the advantage over us, home field, a chip on their shoulder and exactly the same stakes as us.

I have a feeling that Texans will lose to the Jags.

Lately, the Colts have been very strong on run defense, and not so good on pass defense. The Titans are a strong run offense, 5th in the league, but not so strong on passing offense, 29th in the league. That should bode well for the Colts.

Especially with Mari-OTT dealing with a stinger.

Even the Patriots game was not out of the question (until it really was). We outscored them in the second half, without Leonard and without TY.

Absolutely no one thought it would be possible that the colts would win 7 of their next 8 games. Only two other teams since the merger have made the playoffs after a 1-5 start.

If we see two more weeks of good colts football I am happy with this season. The fact that such will get us into the playoffs is mind-blowing.

Good article by IndyStar on the players only meeting after being 1-5 (located here).

Sounds like that culture that Ballard was waiting on has shown up full force.

Even if we lose Sunday, I am so excited for the future of this team it is not even funny.

Walk Worthy,
