  1. This game is such a tough game to predict.  The Chiefs have one of the best offenses of all time but one of the worst defenses.  The Chiefs are around .500 the past 4 games and the Colts have won 10 out of 11.  Obviously the Colts D hasn't faced an O like this all year.  If they can fool Mahomes and make him force the ball down field, I think it plays right into the Colts advantage.  If the Chiefs are able to move the ball easily, they could have a field day.  I am confident the Colts can run and score on the Chiefs, but the defense is going to have to show me they can get some key stops against such a high powered offense.  Colt's can't give up any sacks or have any turnovers on offense either.  I am going to go Chiefs 31 Colts 28.  Of course I hope I am wrong.   We will really be able to tell how good our defense really is after this game.   Should be a great game!

  2. Sarcasm.  But he's saying that so if the Chiefs win he can say the best QB on the hottest team in the NFL got exposed by the Chiefs.  Also, as a Pats lover, on the flip side, if the Colts pull it off then the Pats get the Colts at home who they've owned.  That's his logic imo.

    Lot's of people I've heard in the media so far are saying "the Chiefs didn't want this" and that the Colts can win.

    I've seen a lot of people in the media say this Colts team is a team that no one wants to face (and could be the most complete team left), but I fully expect most experts to take the Chiefs.  Those picks will be out by Friday.  I am ok with that though.  The Colts have been playing that role all year.  I hope they keep on rolling!

  4. I think the Colts need to slow the game down and run the ball.  The Colts o-line needs to bully the Chiefs like they've bullied other teams the past 10 or 11 weeks.  I don't think you want to get into a shoot out with the Chiefs, that plays into their advantage.  Colts can't have any turnovers, can't get down early and need to force some turnovers and put pressure on Mahomes and I think they'll have a legit shot at winning.  There playing great on both sides of the ball right now.  This Chiefs offense is nothing like they've faced all year though, it's going to be a good test. 

  5. I honestly don't think many people are going to pick the Colts in this game.  Are they the hottest team in the NFL? Yes, are they playing great football on both sides?  Yes.  Are the playoffs about whose the hottest team/playing their best?  Yes.  But I still think most people think the Colts have a lot of no named/young players on defense and a first year coach.  A lot of people think they have overachieved.  I personally think the Colts have a shot and that this game could either way.  I do not think the Colts want to get into a shoot out with this team.  If they can run the ball, slow the game down, not commit any turnovers and force some turnovers, they will have a shot to win this game.  The Chiefs are dead last against the run I believe and not much better against the pass.  Their D is garbage.  They do have a few decent pass rushers, but nothing like Houston had.  If our o-line keeps playing the way their playing, the Colts will put up points no problem.  I am curious to see if our defense can get to Mahomes.  That offense is deadly with a lot of play makers.  Should be a great game!

  6. I think it's going to be a good game.  I think on paper the Colts have a better team or strictly match up better, but on paper doesn't mean anything.  I am going to say Colts win 27-20 if they can pressure Watson and contain Hopkins as well as move the ball effectively without turning the ball over on offense.  If they can't do any of those things, the Texans will win.  Go Colts!

    It was great watching Elliott Harrison who does the rankings for the NFL Network eat crow. I seen it earlier, he was weeping but admitted he was wrong about our team. He finally gave us praise but what else could he do at this point. He had us rated #32.

    Perfectly said.  At least he's giving us respect now unlike a few others

    What exactly was wrong with his neck? Will this be a lingering issue going forward with him? He is too valuable to this OL to miss numerous games each year is why I ask. 

    You know, I am not 100% certain.  I hope not, a neck is nothing to mess around with.  Hopefully he's good to go the rest of the way.  Boehm has done a fantastic job, but we need Ryan!

  9. Amazing!  This team has been on fire the past 10 weeks!  One of the hottest, if not hottest team in the league.  I truly believe they can play with anyone!  They were not expected to make the playoffs in a rebuild year, they are a head of schedule and are coming!  This off season should only make the team stronger with all of the cap space and draft picks plus experience from this year.  They can beat the Texans too if they play a good, non sloppy game!  I just wanted them to get in this year, a playoff win would be a bonus, especially against Houston!

  10. Houston is a very dangerous team at home.  The Colts went in there and won a few weeks back, but that game means nothing now.  The Colts need to be able to run the ball, not turn the ball over and score TD's in the redzone on offense.  On defense, they need to stop the run, contain Watson and put pressure on Watson.  He was sacked over 60 times this year, they have to get to him.  It should be a good game.  I am hoping for a Colts victory!  Playing with house money!  No one expected them to get in this year!

  11. I would have loved to see what his stats would have been playing a full healthy season.  I am happy he has stayed healthy and found success towards the end of the season!  We need him to ball out next week!

    For Tenn to get 2nd seed, they'd also need Ravens to lose. If Pats and Texans both lose and Ravens win, Ravens are 2nd seed. Amazing to think that Ravens and Titans could get a bye or not make playoffs.

    Forgot to add that little detail in :thmup: but I did know that.  Either way Go Colts!  Just get a win and get in!

    Ahhh, given the Titans being alive for it, I thought maybe be extrapolation the Colts were too.  That’s okay, though ... 3rd seed would be pleasant as well.  :)

    I agree.  I'll be honest,  I don't care what seed they get, I just want them to get in and see what happens.  3rd seed, 4th seed or 6th seed.  Playing with house money!

    divisional record doesnt apply to the tiebreaker between miami and colts

     

    head to head is applied first in this scenario which favors the colts.

    That's what I thought but I swore the Dolphins are ahead of us in the standings according to NFL.com.  Maybe I am wrong.  I would think head to head is the first tie breaker, but wasn't 100% sure.

    I think we can only afford to lose 1 game either to NYG or DAL not to TENN before we get blocked from the playoffs, if im not mistaken.

     

    Edit: also Miami has to lose at least 1 of their next 3 games.

    Doesn't Miami get in if they tie with the Colts?  If the Colts finish 9-7 and the Dolphins finish 9-7.  They get in because they have a better divisional record correct? (if there one loss isn't to the Bills).
