Houston plays KC and the Raiders the next two weeks. If they go 1-1 they’ll be tied with us but ahead with the tiebreaker. Jacksonville plays us at home next week and the Jets at home the week after. We haven’t won in Jacksonville in like 10 years. If they win both of those, they’ll be 10-4 and a full 2 games ahead, with the tiebreaker against us.
They DESPERATELY needed to win today on their home field and they didn’t.
I honestly don’t think they make the playoffs now. This was an absolutely DEVASTATING loss.

You're assuming 2 losses against teams that are good, but far from unbeatable (the Jaguars and the Seahawks.) I'm not assuming that, and I don't think that that's a crazy non-assumption.
And while the Colts have not won in Jacksonville since Herbert Hoover was the President of the country, they also won their Opening Day game for the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 ...... so far, this Colts team has shown to be better than the mediocre ones of recent past over the course of the first 12 games of this season.
