A houston loss could have made the week 17 game meaningless. Now there is a bigger chance we'll need to win it.

Oh well.

Hopefully they take care of Atl next week.

Meaningless ??? Based on what ??? Did you not read my previous post, in which I explained in detail why a Texans loss was not necessarily better than a Texans win?

The Colts are 8-6, and there are a slew of teams that are even with them or just ahead of them in the standings. In addition to the Texans there are the Bills, the Browns, the Bengals, the Broncos, and the Steelers that are all tied or within a game of the Colts and of each other, and subsequently there are at least 12 different scenarios that could wind up playing out by then that could factor into if and where the Colts fall in the AFC post-season seedings. Plus, the Colts still have a reasonable chance to win the division if they win out to finish at 11-6 and the Jaguars lose 2 games. The Colts could be 10-6 heading into that final game, they could be 9-7 heading into that final game, and they could be 8-8 heading into that final game. And in the first 2 scenarios (10-6 or 9-7), there is almost no possible way that the Texans losing that game against the Titans just now would have wound up making the Colts' 17th and final game of the season meaningless. A division title and/or a Wildcard berth and/or a playoff seeding will be on the line when the Colts take the field that day, unless the Colts lose their next 2 games to fall to 8-8 and get mathematically as a result.

Bills up on the Cowboys. 21-3 in the 3rd quarter and Dak is getting pummeled.

With a houston loss today there were a ton of scenarios where we didn't need to win the last game. Now there are only a few.

Yep. Kinda surprised by this considering how much the Cowgirls have been rolling along w/ the Bills struggling at times this year. Guess the Cowgirls are just fools gold again like normal.

With a Houston win today, there are almost as many scenarios in which that last game will be meaningless for the Colts ..... and the chances of that last game being meaningless for the Colts is about 1 in 50, regardless of the outcome of today's Texans-Titans game.

"Meaningless" means that the Colts would be locked into a specific playoff seed, with no chance of going up or down in their seedings ...... and the Texans losing today might change that possibility from 1 in 50 to about 1 in 45.

If you read my previous post, I hope that you understand that the Colts and the Texans are not playing in a vacuum in the AFC, and that the Bengals, the Browns, the Bills, the Steelers, and the Jaguars all have a hand in the outcome of the Colts' chances for a division title and/or a Wildcard berth, and/or what seedings the Colts would get in the playoffs should they qualify.

I guess I should have wanted the Bills to lose today, but any week America's Team loses is a great week.

Yep, I just couldn't help rooting for the Bills in that game. That was a fun game to watch, anytime the Cowboys get mud stomped is extremely satisfying.

Well, now let's have the Ravens beat the Jackoffs, and it will be a great weekend of football.

The ref crew for this game is the worthless Cleveland game crew...who are they going to fuck tonight, I'm guessing they will help the Faguars!
