Playoffs?

[ChaosTheory]

Used the playoff machine again and plugged in some reasonable picks. I have a hard time coming up with a scenario where the Colts don't get in. Personally, I don't think it's a stretch that they win out.

TEN could realistically lose to SF and MIA which would give the Colts the division lead with a week left in the season. That's wild.

Believe it or not, with those two losses, TEN has a backdoor shot at missing the playoffs. If BUF beats NE next week, that opens the door for MIA to win out and bump TEN. Tie-breakers would dictate MIA over NE and NE over TEN.

MIA hasn't lost since Halloween. Hasn't been a murderer's row, but they've taken down NE and BAL. So that's interesting.

The AFC North logjam surprisingly could end up only producing one playoff team in the division champ. Also interesting.

Not saying I expect it, but it's actually not the craziest set of circumstances that lead to the Colts being the #2 seed.

For all intents and purposes, Jimmy Garoppolo just single-handedly screwed the Colts out of a legitimate chance of catching and passing the Titans for the AFC South title ...... Tennessee might lose to the Dolphins next week, but I don't think that there's any way that they will lose to the Texans in the season finale unless they allow Deshaun Watson to play (which they won't.)

And by the way, I'm with Puck now ...... if the Colts can't win the division title, I hope that we get the Titans in the first round of the playoffs so that we can kick the living shit out of their overrated asses.

It takes a lot to get me angry on these boards, and I'm pissed.

1. Colts have been a much better team on the road than at home.

2. There are NO dominant unbeatable AFC teams with great home records. The best AFC teams have 2 or more losses in their stadium.

3. Colts have a great shot at running the gauntlet against everything based on 1&2

Come on C&O, the Colts screwed themselves. And Garoppolo did NOT screw us out of the playoffs or the Super Bowl, only saved us the embarrassment of another fucking division flag being hung in the stadium.

Colts had their chance twice against the titans. No place to look except in the mirror.

Everything is setting up perfectly for KC, even if they don’t get the 1 seed. They’re getting hot at the right time and their defense is playing a lot better.

I’m not sure anyone is beating them.

I won't disagree but you can look back at many years and pick a team that noone was gonna beat only to have a Super Bowl Champion no one expected.

Division title flags are not embarrassing ...... AFC Finalist flags, even though an appearance in the conference championship game is actually more of an accomplishment than just winning a division is, are questionable at best.

Agreed.

Reactionary feelings on my part, immediately following a game in which the Titans easily could have extended their losing ways and allowed us back into the division title race.
