8 of 9

October 14th - We were 1-5 after losing by less than a TD to the Eagles & Texans. It was odd, but even the games we lost by more than a TD seemed like we were closer than the score might indicate. Even the Patriots game was not out of the question (until it really was). We outscored them in the second half, without Leonard and without TY.

Absolutely no one thought it would be possible that the colts would win 7 of their next 8 games. Only two other teams since the merger have made the playoffs after a 1-5 start.

If we see two more weeks of good colts football I am happy with this season. The fact that such will get us into the playoffs is mind-blowing.

I'm already happy with the season. I thought 7 wins was our ceiling. I still doubt we'll go far in the playoffs, assuming we get there, but with the way the Rams, Chiefs, Pats, Steelers, Texans, and even the Saints have come down to earth a win against any of them would not surprise me.

Agree, I'm already happy with the season also. But it's difficult for me to look at this and not hope for making it in:

- Ravens are 4.5 point dogs to the Chargers on Saturday (seems like it should be more)
- Colts are 9 point favorites over the Giants on Sunday

They have exceeded my expectations. Fun to watch again and excited about the future.

Like I said before, this year feels like 1995 all over again. A team that nobody expects anything out of. I just hope they get to the AFCCG again, and win it this time. No AAron Bailey or Quentin Coryatt to screw it up this time. Odum is the likely one to do that to us.

They had a players only meeting after the jest loss. Sounds like some people got called out. That was the start of the turn around.

If the Ravens (playing Chargers) and the Steelers (playing Saints) both lose, the Colts control their own destiny (and probably get flexed to SNF Week 17) with a win over the Giants.

Actually, it is not if BOTH lose......

It is if EITHER OF THEM lose....

With PIT at 8-5-1 and BAL at 8-6, if either lose and we win (to get to 9 wins), we go ahead of them for the #6 seed.

If we win out and PIT or BAL lose one game, we are in.

Walk Worthy,

True, but I want both to lose and both are likely to lose.
