BlueShoe Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 With the loss to Buffalo today, we have moved up to #3 in the 2018 NFL Draft. How we got here today (games of note): Browns lost to Packers 21-27 in OT. Bears Killed a Bengal 33-7. Cowboys beat the brakes off the Giants 30-10. 49ers smacked the Texans 26-16. Broncos blanketed the Jets 23-0. Colts have the #3 pick with 3 weeks to go. If we were to miraculously win-out, then we would finish with 6 wins (most we can get). This means the worst draft pick we can possibly be awarded is #14 overall. However, we are still in the running for the #1 overall pick. Although it might be tougher for Cleveland to win out than it would be for us to. This Thursday will be a key game with Denver.

Everyone Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Colts have the tie breaker over the 9ers so they're 4th I believe. Edit: NVM, I was corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not head to head, SoS is the first tie break and if thats a tie its a coin flip. If it were head to head like I thought before that, Philly (via Minnesota) would have had it outright.

austriancolt Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Pagano will find a way to screw up our Top 3 pick. With some Luck it could be the 2nd pick which would be a great position to trade the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor Luck. Getting stuck on a team with the worst oline and coaching staff in Colts history. He could have been the next Manning or Unitas but will instead be remembered as the next Bert Jones.

"Poor Luck" Lets wait until he's officially retired before you write him off. My God I am tired of this Site at this point. Do people even think before they Post?? Odds are you are a Troll! Whoopy we are 3-10 and don't have our best player, wow that is shocking isn't it = no it isn't. Once Luck was announced being out for the year I said we would go 5-11. Why would anyone think otherwise is funny to me. Why anyone would think Luck's career is over is even more funny. 2018 cant get here quick enough.

One game only tells the story of a team at a specific moment in time, and has a built-in home field advantage (unless the teams are in the same division and play twice). Using the strength of schedule tells a story about a team throughout the entire season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueShoe Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 Broncos are up 23-0 with 11:33 to play. McCown is out of the game with a hand injury too. They should win this game, and that would give us the 3rd overall pick, with 3 weeks to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds crazy. lol I'm thinking the Colts ,especially on a short week, will still be sore and tired at kickoff on Thursday. Imagine how much more energy you use and the toil on muscles running in that much snow. Have you ever run around at the beach on soft sand? Remember how all the muscles were sore from the instability? I bet there are some strains too from the awkward footing and stop/starting. Its hard on the knees. you see snow games on occasion, but rarely close to a foot like today. It was well above their ankles. The "troughs" formed from clearing snow at the lines was quite comical too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half will probably have the flu after 4 hrs in the snow..lol. That's a sad lol btw. Can't wait till free agency and the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boiler_Colt Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 The best case scenario would be us finishing #2 and the Giants finishing #4 or 5. IMO the Giants woild definitely be looking to trade up for a QB. I dont see it happening though, I think we beat either Den or Hou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this logic, why is strength of schedule one of the last tie breakers for playoff seeding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaredfor3 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 If the Colts are going to win one more game, it will likely be vs Denver. Then again, with how our secondary is playing in addition with our offense, we may not win any more games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
