Yep, I agree. Hated that game because now the Cards are going to be in desperation mode.

I think the Browns losing to the Raiders helps the Colts....provided they hold their home field against the Raiders in a couple of weeks!

Maybe the biggest thing to worry about there is the Raiders coming in hot and fighting for a playoff spot (and they very well could be, as they are next home vs. Broncos). But honestly both of those teams looked terrible last night.

I hear you Spike. It shouldn't matter if we are ready to play. Can the Colts keep up this intensity? They need to, it is their own fault they need to because they shit the bed so bad in the beginning of the season. I'm thinking they will but I am worried just like you are.

The Colts should be playing in desparation mode

The Colts already beat the Dolphins head-on, so them catching and passing the Colts is more unlikely than the possibility of the Titans continuing to falter and allowing the Colts to pass them.

Again, I'm rooting FOR the Dolphins tonight ...... I want them to have as much motivation as possible when they play the Titans next week, and a win over the Saints tonight would put them at 8-7 overall while riding a 7-game winning streak (they started the season at 1-7.)

Several weeks ago, I stated that we were more likely to get a #1 or #2 seed than we were to get a #3 or a #4 seed if we catch and pass the Titans for the AFC South title.

If they do, believe it or not, they could wind up with the #1 seed overall in the AFC ...... the Titans are currently Derrick Henry-less, the AFC North has 4 solid-but-unspectacular teams, and the Chiefs have a tough schedule ahead of them with games against the Chargers, the Steelers, the Bengals, and the Broncos.



At best, I see us getting the #2 seed because I think that the Patriots will win their 3 remaining games after they play us. Even with a loss to the Colts on Saturday night, that would leave them with a 12-5 overall record.

At worst, the Colts will lose to the Patriots on Saturday night to fall to 7-7 ...... which will leave only the most optimistic of Horseshoe Homers (such as myself) still believing in this team.

And this chart shows that ...... while we have a very small chance of getting that # 2 seed (5%), we have even less chance to get the #3 or #4 seed (less than 1%.)

Coming out that Henry may play week 18 to “knock off some rust”.

Miami is looking pretty good tonight, I can easily see them beating the Titans. Mills is also settling in nicely at QB for the Texans, they will give the Titans all they want....Colts are still alive if they handle their bidness!
