Apparently Harbaugh said they were out of corners.

There's a lot of moving parts in the AFC. But I ran through it real quick and ended us at 11-6 in the #6 seed against Tennessee at 12-5 in the #3 seed in the Wildcard game.

My bias has us running the table but interestingly... If we drop one to either NE or AZ, we remain the #6 seed at 10-7 because we'd win tiebreakers over BAL and BUF.

At least in one universe.

We lost to BAL so we can't win a tie breaker against them. Did you mean the Bungles?

Harbaugh's won a hell of a lot more games than Frank has (including a Super Bowl). He's more deserving of the benefit of the doubt.

I mean, it's just for shits at this point, there so many scenarios...

In my specific scenario, if we lose to either NE or AZ, then IND, BAL, and BUF finish at 10-7.

Three non-division teams, no team swept the other two, so conference record comes into play. IND #6, BAL #7, BUF out

One of the 4 loss teams will flounder and not make the playoffs.

Like others have said, the Ravens have overtimed, and 66-yard field goaled, and Colts' practice squad DB'd their way to some crazy victories this season.

They've got CLE, GB, LAR, CIN, and PIT. Could be ugly.

And TEN wasn't playing well before the bye. I can't see them dropping to the Jags or Texans again. But it's not the craziest thing in the world to have them losing to PIT, MIA, and SF. That's 10-7.

Crazy month upcoming.

Tomorrow night is a pretty big game. Whoever wins that. Need to root for them to to win the rematch too.

Another interesting stat. The Colts have the best record in the AFC against conference opponents at 6-3 And since the 0-3 start.... one of .... if not the best record... in the NFL as in no one has a better record than 7-3 since week 3 I may be off by a team or two but we are one of the better teams since week 3

Titans need to lose 2 more games and the Colts can win the division.

They have 49ers, Miami and Jaggoffs

And Steelers.

They need to lose three to end up 10-7. Colts could win out and finish 11-6.
