They really could lose all but one of these games (I can't see losing to the Giants) OR win every single one of them. The margin is just close with all these games Its just so hard to say. I thought the Jets game would be a win, was badly wrong. If the offense plays like it has the last few weeks, 6 or 7 wins are possible. But the D was terrible today outside one play by Darius Leonard. Dak Prescott or Deshaun Watson could have a good game and put up 40 on this D easily if they keep playing like this. None of the other QBs are great that we face luckily, but the pass D if they can't get a rush on teams is just bad.

Through 8 games, Colts are +16 point differential. They’re basically playing at a .500-ish clip.
4-4 or 5-3 are the most likely scenario. I’m just excited to watch and (hopefully) see continued growth in several areas.

In my rat's ass of an opinion, the defense has played surprisingly better than expected for the majority of the season. I think that they have had only 2 bad games (against the Raiders and the Jaguars.) Even in the games against the Patriots and the Jets, they played better than what the final scores might indicate ........ they played with some cohesion in the 2nd half against the Patriots to turn what appeared to be a laugher at halftime (24-3) into a competitive game early in the 4th quarter (they got as close as 24-17 before the Patriots' offense regained momentum), and they continually kept the Jets out of the endzone in spite of the offense putting them in bad situations on numerous occasions. So aside from the those 2 clunkers against the Raiders and the Jaguars, the other 8 games have been (at least) average or better. o

23 of the 42 points that the Jets scored came directly from and/or following turnovers in that game (20 from turnovers, and 3 after the Colts turned the ball over on downs deep in their own territory when they were forced to go for it on 4th down.) That's more than half of their point total for the game. The Jets also kicked a franchise record 7 field goals in that game, which means that the defense minimized much of the damage that was caused by the offense. Also, the lopsided time of possession was as much an indictment of the Colts' offense as it was their defense. 5 of the Colts' 8 possessions in the first half consisted of 3 plays or less, and used 5:04 of clock time. o

The rest of the games are all winnable imo but the Texans will be a tough one & I don't think the Cowboys will be a walk in the park. Their D is very good & it seems they are getting their act together on offense. We will see a heavy dose of Zeke & Prescott is playing better of late. We just can't have another clunker like the Jets game. To me that loss looms larger than not getting a tie against Houston.

I don't think that those critiques are necessarily mutually inclusive and/or exclusive. I have made it clear on numerous occasions that I love Reich and the magnificent improvement over the Colts' previous coach (Chuck Pagano) while simultaneously asserting that that specific decision to go for it on 4th down with only 29 seconds left to play in overtime was not prudent, particularly that early in the season when it is (was) not yet clear as to whether or not the team would be vying for a playoff berth. Being aggressive throughout the first 55 to 59 minutes of a game (and for the first 13 and-a-half-to-14 and-a-half minutes of an overtime period) does not preclude a coach from accepting the reality of a situation in the closing seconds of the 4th quarter (and/or overtime), and making a prudent decision because of that reality. Overall, I am thrilled with Reich, particularly with the non-predictive nature of the play-calling on offense (which is the antithesis of what we saw during the Pagano regime from 2013 through 2017.) o

Playoff update
The Colts are much closer to a playoff spot now than I realized and are on the verge of controlling their own destiny, but not quite there
Dolphins lost today. So tied with Baltimore, Titans for the last spot, but then Pitt is only a half game up on the division/WC race and could be easily overtaken for both. Play the titans week 17, need to win that one, basically a week 17 playoff game there, lose and you're out. I believe the Colts just need to : Win their last two games, puts the Titans out AND A single loss sometime between now and the end of the season by Pitt OR Baltimore. Then the Colts will be ahead of one of the two of them and the other team will win the division, most likely. (Cleveland still with an outside shot) Pitt has NE right now and NO next week. Baltimore has SD next week. And Cleveland, no pushovers now It is looking good, two winnable games left basically to make the 6th spot.
