And as another poster pointed out, the Colts may actually be better off not having won the division ........ if they had won it, the playoff game that they just won would have been played in Indianapolis, but they would be traveling to New England this coming week instead of to Kansas City ........ and I feel better about our chances at KC instead of at New England for this particular round.


The only bad thing about settling for the #6 seed instead of getting the division title (and the #3 seed) is that there is no chance that the Colts will be hosting the AFC Championship game should they make it that far ........ if you recall, when the Colts won the 2006 season Super Bowl, they hosted the AFC Championship game against the Patriots because both teams upset the top 2 seeds in the divisional playoff round (the Colts beat the #2 seed Baltimore Ravens, and the Patriots beat the #1 seed San Diego Chargers.)

Personally, I relish the thought of going into the Patriots home and punching Josh McDaniels in his dick.

I would much rather have the game be played in Indianapolis, regardless of who the opponent is ........ maximizing the Colts' chances of making it to the Super Bowl is a thousand times more important to me than settling any type of personal grudge.

Also, that hypothetical AFC Championship game (had the Colts won their division and been the #3 seed) would have been against the Chargers at home or the Chiefs on the road, not the Patriots.
