Aside from the chance to win the division..playing the Texans twice in the last three games of the season is that win, lose, or draw we won't have that competitive drop off going into the playoffs..They will be better tested and the memory of playing a playoff team will be fresher in their memories going into January..

Agreed?

....I would agree if we make the playoffs....If we lose 2 to Houston and at KC...we're not going to make it...

everyone assumes we're in....not yet

That's true, it's just like Arians said to the Houston media, "We haven't done anything yet" KC will not be an easy game because the KC crowd is very loud and nuts. If we had Manning, I wouldn't worry as much about KC because he studies so hard and can pick them apart so easily. Luck, can do that I think too but he is more of a gunslinger and I think vs. KC that won't be as effective, and I think Romeo Crennell will game plan to attack Luck all day. Hopefully Andrew can exploit the blitz packages (or better yet, just identify them). We can't get down to KC by a couple TDs , they still do have some firepower.

chris..

I'm just hoping we dont get anybody beat up Sunday at Houston....that would cramp us for the must-win KC game

we have very few backups on O-line and at running back....

Bruce Arians is right..and so are you about Romeo...KC has more talent than a 2-11 team...should ....and that will be their final home game

It's nearly impossible for the Colts to not get in the playoffs at this point. In fact, I think the only way they don't get in is if they lose all 3 and the Jets win out and there is no way the Jets win out.

I hope you're right about the Jets...but check into that..they think they will..just signed Braylon Edwards..

...The Jets play Tennessee, San Diego and Buffalo......they'll be favored (not by much) to beat all 3

we are huge underdogs against Houston.......it may all be on the line at KC on the 22nd

I doubt they'll be favored to beat all 3. In fact, I think we'll clinch this weekend even if we get trounced by Houston. The Jets play @ Tenn. and I think Tenn. will take care of the Jets rather easily. If the Jets somehow pull it out this weekend, the Chargers will torch the Jets. Anyway I see it, I don't think there is anyway we don't make the playoffs. I'm pretty confident we'll handle the Chiefs regardless of what the Jets do anyway, but I have a good feeling the Jets will clinch our playoff spot for us.

I wouldnt count on Tennessee for much..

a Jets loss does not clinch a playoff spot for us if Cincy and Pitt win///

The Jets aren't the only team we need to worry about - definitely not the only way we miss the playoffs. They could be eliminated and we still have to worry about the Bengals & Steelers (both better teams than the Jets) taking the two Wild Card spots.

and we need to worry abut winning a game with any running backs...because it may come to that

umm if Cinci and the jets both lose this weekend even if the colts lose, the colts get the playoff bid whether its 5th or 6th seed because of tie breaker over cinci would be conference wins and cinci is already at 5 losses with 1 more to go against pittsburgh and 1 against baltimore and the jets would be at 8 losses and its impossible for the colts to even get 8 losses now with 3 games remaining. so if both lose the colts are in automatically.

Pittsburgh and Cincy play each other a week from Sunday and one has to lose so neither of those teams really affect our playoff chances very much at all. Both can't win out and thats what it would take to knock the Colts out of a playoff spot. That is simplifying it a bit, I know, but essentially the Jets are the only team the Colts need to worry about.

we lose ALL tiebreakers scenarios with the Jets...

..even if Cincy loses to Phily...if they win their last 2 they are 9-7 with 5 AFC losses....

If the Colts lose their last 3 ...they are 9-7 with 6 AFC losses....

If we finish in a 3-way tie with the 9-7 Jets and 9-7 Cincy...we are out....

///But to simplify things..yes...it helps a ton if the Jets simply lose like we know they know how to do

If they Jets win at Tennessee and we lose at Houston...we have reason for concern

Well, the chances of the few scenario's that would knock the Colts out of the playoffs, are almost astronomical at this point. Could it happen? Sure, but the chances are overwhelmingly tiny.

You should read the KC boards. They hate RC and their quarterbacks. I can bet you any money that the day KC plays the Colts and Luck their board will be overflowing with praise and jealousy for Luck.

KC is not going to win that game. Them and the fans want their season to be over.

well i never said the Bengals would lose lol. i was just pointing out that IF they and the jets lost this weekend the colts wouldnt have to win. although id prefer the colts win out anyway.would sure shut up alot of texan fans who claim that the texans are the " kings of the south " and will " dominate " the division for years to come.

      Bill Tobin Passed Away

      By RollerColt · Posted

      https://www.nfl.com/news/bill-tobin-longtime-nfl-executive-dies-at-age-83   He drafted some all time great players like Harrison, and of course is famous for his verbal match with Mel Kiper. RIP!

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Moosejawcolt · Posted

      Then begs the question. Do u want to say draft a MJH at 4 and turn around in 4 years or would u say draft Turner and pay him 30mill in 4 years? All day every day for the franchise rush end. I am not a big believer in 30 mill for a wr. Reid is a fantastic coach and look what he did with Hill.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      I literally just posted that clip, it's where the conversation about QBs started.

      Ballard pre-draft presser

      By richard pallo · Posted

      Funny you brought this up.  I just listened to an interview Ballard did today with Rich Eisen.  He asked him if he has given any thought on how many quarterbacks will be taken before our pick and how many does he think.  He said sure we go through those evaluations.  It helps us with for planning purposes.  He asked him how many.  4 or 5 or 6?   He laughed out loud at 6.  He said Rich if it’s 6 we will be so excited.  Let’s hope so.  He also said the draft board is not yet set.  Won’t be until the night before the draft.  He also said he has had multiple conversations with other GM’s concerning the draft.  Preparing themselves for opportunities that could take place.  And they will continue up until the draft starts.  He said trade conversations won’t really materialize until you are within three picks of any trade.  Giving you time to finalize it.  Interesting interview.  Oh he pretty much ruled out moving up for Harrison.   Going up into the top of the draft would be very costly for him he said.  Thinks he’s a great talent but he thinks he’s pretty much out of our reach.

      Poll: 2024 QB prospects

      By twfish · Posted

      I personally wouldn’t touch Williams with a 10 foot pole. He seems like a distraction and cancerous. He may be Uber talented but I don’t feel like he is a winner, and don’t feel like his heart is in it. I think he gets the bag and just sets it on cruise control. There is absolutely nothing to base this off of aside from my gut feeling.  Maye Daniels  Penix Nix McCarthy   Maye is your prototype passer and I think his deficiencies are easily fixed with good coaching.   Daniels seems the most limited to me, proficient and will be very dependent on where he goes.    Will always have a soft spot for Penix, he throws such a pretty deep ball. His 40 time should have opened some eyes.   Nix is probably the safest pick IMO. I think he’s got the tools to fit nearly any offense. Has the athleticism, arm talent and I think he’s got the between the ears to excel in most offenses.   I see the appeal with McCarthy, he was as unselfish as they come allowing the run game to shine instead of checking to pass plays. I think his ceiling is a solid game manager.
