Fun Fact of the Day

I knew we were bad against playoff teams, but I'm glad others are too.

[GoDeep]

It is a fun fact, but throw all that out the window once the playoffs start.

Playoffs games can change all that. Especially teams like the Packers, Broncos and Patriots really show up for playoff games. Bringing out the best/worst of that team. Playoffs will hopefully be good to my new beloved Colts.

Surprising given how many of the Media (before the Buffalo game anyway) had all but pencilled GB in for the Superbowl. Just shows how quickly things can change week to week in the NFL, something people might want to bear in mind vis a vis the Colts and the playoffs. Once you're in them... anything can happen.

 

Besides it's amazing how often the higher seeded teams, especially the number 1 seeds perform poorly in the post season. Last year was something of an outlier with both no.1 seeds making the Super Bowl, previous to that there seems to be slant to at least one W/C team making it through.

Speaking of which, when I looked last year there was a very high incidence of teams who played in the wild card round makin the super bowl in recent years

On the face of it it makes some logical sense in that one of the WC teams normally makes by coming from nowhere to win a run of games an the end of the season and hits the playoffs hot.

Very true. Any team that makes the playoffs has a fighters chance to make it to the super bowl. If my memory serves me I think the Raiders were the first wild card team to win a super bowl. Times sure do change.

Also shows colts doing ok considering theyve played more games against playoff teams than everyone but baltimore and saints.

[Larry Horseman]

I think it speaks to something positive (growth as a team, perhaps) that the Colts 4 losses are against playoff teams. The previous 2 years we had some bad losses to non-playoff teams.

Interesting.  It sure looks like NE and Seattle are the teams to beat.

I'd like to see the Giants numbers (just for shiggles)

Interesting fact, thanks

2-15

Eli: 6TD 33INT

Obviously a huge exaggeration, but I'm close I'm sure

[swflacoltsfans]

I don't want to play the Pittsburgh again. They were unstoppable last time. It could be really ugly.

This is the entire AFC based on current NFL playoff seeding.

1 Pats 4-1

2 Broncos 2-2

3 Colts. 2-4

4 Bengals 3-3

5 Steelers 3-2

6 Ravens. 2-4

Key Points:

1) After the Patriots, everyone else has faired pretty much equally against other playoff teams.

2) Despite criticism over their divisional schedule, the Colts have played 6 playoff teams. That is tied for #1 on the list. This Sunday they will play the Cowboys, the 7th playoff team of the year.

3) The Ravens and Bengals numbers were boosted with wins over the Saints. The Saints are 6-8, but are counted as a playoff team victory.
