Key Games to help the Colts...

Okay so im really tired of seeing the Chargers and Bengals entering the playoffs. We need them to lose because both of them always give the Broncos or Patriots free trips to the AFC Championship. They make the AFC look really bad.

 

Games that will help us to make the playoffs:

Texans REMAINING OPPONENTS: vs. Titans (2-9), at Jaguars (1-10), at Colts (7-4), vs. Ravens (7-4), vs. Jaguars (1-10)

 

We need the Titans win and win against the Redskins to get ready to wrap things up in the AFC South.

 

Games that will help us if we make the playoffs:

The Chargers REMAINING OPPONENTS: at Ravens (7-4), vs. Patriots (9-2), vs. Broncos (8-3), at 49ers (7-4), at Chiefs (7-4)

 

No doubt they can lose the rest of their games and go 8-8. Not too worried about them. But we DO NEED THEM to beat the Pats to get them out of the home seed if the Packers beat the Pats.

 

Bengals REMAINING OPPONENTS: at Buccaneers (2-9), vs. Steelers (7-4), at Browns (7-4), vs. Broncos (8-3), at Steelers (7-4)

 

For some reason, they can always find a way to beat the Steelers which is worrisome. We need them to get out of the race, they lose in the first round every year. But we cant have the Steelers go in either. The Broncos are the Patriots are their kryptonite. The only way they were able to win the 2 Super Bowls recently was because the Pats were eliminated by the Broncos and Brady was hurt that year i think...

 

Ravens REMAINING OPPONENTS: vs. Chargers (7-4), at Dolphins (6-5), vs. Jaguars (1-10), at Texans (5-6), vs. Browns (7-4)

 

We need the Ravens in. They can easily win the last 5 games IF the defense shows up but the Dolphins and Browns game will be key. Since they are both looking for a spot too. They are the only team that are capable of eliminating or giving the Patriots and Broncos fits assuming we dont face them...

 

Dolphins REMAINING OPPONENTS: at Jets (2-9), vs. Ravens (7-4), at Patriots (9-2), vs. Vikings (4-7), vs. Jets (2-9)

 

Dolphins are looking good. Theyve been able to keep with with Denver and the Pats this year. Would be another ideal team to give them a challenge assuming they take the other seed and dont face us.

 

If anything I prefer the Broncos to get home field advantage if the Colts cant. Wouldnt be as hard as going to New England. Whatever it is, I believe the Colts can do anything, the playoffs usually can bring a whole different more competitive team if we make it.

 

What are your thoughts...

Chargers aren't making the playoffs with that remaining schedule.  I would say KC will sneak in and the Ravens (if they don't win the division) or Miami.  Very interesting last quarter of the season.  Good matchups desperate teams anything can happen..  Colts really could still get a #1 seed.  It's a longshot but they would obviously need to win out.  Denver and NE both have very tough games ahead of them.  If Pats win out, you could perhaps crown them champs before the playoffs... JK I still remember ther not so perfect undefeated season! :D

    • I think he paid Johnathan Hankins about 10M per year(30/3) in his first free agency when he was remaking the whole defense.  In 2019 he signed Justin Houston for 24/2... and Devin Funchess for 13M...  In 2020 - Rivers... In 2021 - none In 2022 - Gilmore In 2023 - none
    • How the heck did I miss that?! Wow
    • It is fact. You do understand where the money to pay player salaries and such comes from right? I mean it’s right there in the CBA…   the league basically places the money in an escrow account every year directly from the league, which is a portion of the revenue set aside for player salaries from the leagues various sources(tv deals for example). It never touches the owners pockets first.  Jim Irsay could have only 10 cents in his account and it wouldn’t matter when it comes to player salaries.  yes, guaranteed monies and such have to be put in upfront but if you read the fine print, that money is basically reimbursed the to the team the year it’s paid out. So 2025 guarantees would be paid back to the team in 2025 from the player salaries fund.    and yes, I’ve linked it every year for the past 5-6 years. Ever since the beginning of the Ballard era, which seems to be when this notion of Irsay not having cash for this or that came up as a rationale for not signing big name FA. It’s not though when one actually looks up how that all works. 
    • Looking at OTC now.  Seems like we may have around 10-12M cap space left to go after players in FA.  Do the Colts sign I player or break it down to a few small signings.  Still seeing who is available and limited on time.  Still am high on WR Quez Watkins and seeing the Dolphins are also interested in him.  Watkins played under Shane and figured he would be one of his targets in FA.     Both SS, assuming Cross is the starter, but FS is main focus and probably in the draft.   Not sold one too many true FS from college and sure you seen prior post about how slow these CBs are and a move to FS probably best for their career in the NFL.  Especially Khyree Jackson who has a lot of the overall skill set of Cooper DeJean and might be a viable option later in the draft.
