Making the playoffs is easy if…
The Colts quit shooting themselves in the foot. It’s not like good teams are coming onto the field and kicking butt. In fact, for most of the game, if anybody is kicking butt, it’s the Colts. Then, game after game, Rod Serling suits up at halftime.
So, what the Colts have to do is simple. Carson Wentz has to stop throwing shovel passes to the nearest defender. They have to avoid the strip sack in the red zone. DB’s have to hold onto the ball after the int. Receivers can’t cough up the ball after 10 yard gains. No blocked FG’s Or punts. No missed chip shot FG’s. In other words, stop the dumb stuff, and we might still be playing in February. Last edited by Kray007; 12-27-2021 at 01:34 PM.

These are all just isolated mistakes.
Bigger issues would be predictable or cute playcalling that results in failure to sustain drives - not even scores, but just sustaining drives. A mere 2 extra 1st downs in that Baltimore game could have won it. A first down can take 2 minutes off the game block (depends on various and random stoppages of course). Shorten that game and they don't come back all the way.

Stop the dumb stuff. Easier said than done. Just ask Carson Palmer.

o
If the Colts beat the Patriots (a HUGE "if"), they very well could run the table to finish at 11-6 overall. If they do, believe it or not, they could wind up with the #1 overall seed in the AFC ...... the Titans are currently Derrick Henry-less, 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. o

I think that the Colts will make the playoffs, but it hasn't been easy, and it won't be easy. It never is easy after you start the season with a record of 1-4 ...... although this team managed to do it, 46 years ago.  o

On a not unrelated note, this was the year I began to hate the Steelers with, again, and near religious fervor.
