oldunclemark Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Since the entire division lost Sunday....we're not totally in the toilet... We'd have to win our 5 remaining division games...beat Cincinnatti, Carolina and Atlanta and Baltimore..we could only lose at New Orleans and at New England.....we would finish 9-7 and win the first tiebreaker..which is Division record..That's assuming that Tennesse (3-2) and Houston (3-2) finish 9-7...which, after Sunday, is still very possible......and that Peyton Manning returns in time for the final month..Its not much...but that's it......That's our last train..and if we lose next week, that one's out of the station..

I'd like to believe, but there's a better chance I poop a gold biscuit tomorrow morning.The only realistic optimism I'm retaining is that we will develop a promising young back-up QB in Painter and perhaps garner some great picks for the future of our franchise.Today's loss was unacceptable.

supremecoltsfan300 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 There is a chance Peyton could return for the Patriots game, so i'm still holding out hope. Peyton could win the last 5 in a row, so we really just need to beat Cin, Jax, Ten, Carolina. Brees will kill us for sure, Atlanta we have a chance (like 5%) so we could be 10-6 or 9-7. Texans seem to be the biggest threat, hopefully they can lose 4 more games (a few in the division would be great) and then that last one against the Colts with Manning. There's still hope, although it's disappearing rather quickly. Cin is a must win thou, just as i thought kc was. Root for parody in our division, everyone 9-7, lol.

BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Love the Enthusiasm but we will NOT win 3 games this year without Peyton, and we would need to trade our defense through a wormhole to Chicago for the 85 bears D.

21isSuperman Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 It won't happen. It's unfortunate, but realistic. We won't be making the playoffs this year. Tennessee is playing well (even though they got hammered today) and so is Houston (who also lost, but is still a good team). One of those two wins the division and we won't have a good enough record for the wildcard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically, he would probably have quite a bit of rust and take some time to round into form. Any games that Peyton might potentially play this year would not be guaranteed W's.

Balzer40 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) I really can not believe there are those that still think this team has a shot at the playoffs. It's comical and kind of sad that people can actually be that naive. Those who still believe are either 7 yrs. old or surfing the web from the looney bin. The only way this team even see's a win this yr. is if Jax just quits during one of our games with them and leaves the stadium. There is not one other team on the schedule that won't kick the crap outta this team. Edited October 10, 2011 by Balzer40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacolts56 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 If Manning wishes to play..in December....do any of you see Caldwell telling him he cant?Nope.....at this point, I'm not sure Polian even allows Caldwell to tell the captains whether to call heads or tails on a coin toss.But realistically, I believe it'll be his wife Ashley and others close to him that will tell him to shut it down....if they haven't already.

WSO Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 like others said good optimism but I dont see it happening. We couldn't beat the Chiefs, I mean we blew a 17-0 lead.If we enter the Pats game @ 5-6 and Manning w/o a doubt is completely healthy then we may have a chance but we are talking about an extremely small chance. Everything has to go the right way. We could finish 10-6 if Manning miraculously comes back and plays at a high level for the last part of the season. 6 Sun, Oct 16 @Cincinnati 1:00 PM CBS Tickets 7 Sun, Oct 23 @New Orleans 8:20 PM NBC Tickets 8 Sun, Oct 30 @Tennessee 1:00 PM CBS Tickets 9 Sun, Nov 6 vsAtlanta 1:00 PM FOX Tickets 10 Sun, Nov 13 vsJacksonville 1:00 PM CBS Tickets 11 BYE WEEK 12 Sun, Nov 27 vsCarolina 1:00 PM FOX Tickets 13 Sun, Dec 4 @New England 8:20 PM NBC Tickets 14 Sun, Dec 11 @Baltimore 1:00 PM CBS Tickets 15 Sun, Dec 18 vsTennessee 1:00 PM CBS Tickets 16 Thu, Dec 22 vsHouston 8:20 PM NFL Tickets 17 Sun, Jan 1 @Jacksonville 1:00 PM CBS Tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Waylon Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I don't care if I'm thought of as a bad fan for saying it...If we don't beat the Bengals (who have looked better than us these past two weeks) then we realistically have a chance at going 0-16. We may win a divisional game or 2 in the last 3 weeks, but don't count on it. We're just that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a06cc Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'd like for us to win the 5 games before our bye week. We get into the playoff and we win the bowl. Either way I don't care, I'm a Colts fan. We have to close out games when we have the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
