With Denver's loss....

[sfergson727]

So if the Chiefs beat the Raiders, which is likey, they will be in a tie with the Chiefs, with the tie-breaker going to Denver.  (I assume) Supposing the Chiefs end up winning the division, does that make then mean we would play the Broncos in LOS?

 

Makes the KC game with us in two weeks pretty interesting.

[runthepost]

Broncos will win out..

[James Harden]

Facing Broncos or Chiefs at home is the same thing. I wouldn't really care. Just need to pummel whoever is going into our house.

[sfergson727]

Perhaps, that's not the answer I'm looking for.  I'm curious whether there is a real possibility of playing Denver again in LOS if KC ends up winning the division.

 

Personally, I'd rather face Denver again than KC.  Denver has a weak D, and Peyton's arm is getting tired.

[Dustin]

We're going to lose to either so it doesn't really matter.

[Dustin]

Perhaps, that's not the answer I'm looking for. I'm curious whether there is a real possibility of playing Denver again in LOS if KC ends up winning the division.

Yes. Denver will be the 5 seed and we'll be the 4th so Denver would come to Indy.

[House]

Broncos will win out..

I'm sure that sentiment was shared going into tonight no?

[TKnight24]

Yeah, what Dustin said

Unless of course we change our ways. But if we play like we've been playing since Reggie Wayne's injury? Yeah, we'll be one and done

[sfergson727]

Yes. Denver will be the 5 seed and we'll be the 4th so Denver would come to Indy.

Thanks!

[sfergson727]

I have no disagreement.  If we don't improve, we are toast....I don't like to lose, but if we are going to lose regardless, I'd rather it be to Denver.

[TKnight24]

Denver will have a first round bye. We won't even make it to them

[Gramz]

Yes. Denver will be the 5 seed and we'll be the 4th so Denver would come to Indy.

Broncos are still going to win their division.  They won't be 5th seed.

[Dustin]

Broncos are still going to win their division. They won't be 5th seed.

Well, in OPs scenario they would be.

[sfergson727]

Looking at the remaining games, KC definitely has the tougher schedule.......They play the Chargers and us (not that we are much more than a church mouse at the moment, but stranger things have happend).  Denver plays the texans and raiders, so definitely the odds favor Denver having the Division.

[TKnight24]

The ONLY thing that's guaranteed to the Denver Broncos is that Peyton Manning will BREAK Tom Brady's passing TD record.

[HtownColt]

Were going to beat the Chiefs next week so I don't see how the Chiefs win the division

That Texas heat has obviously messed with your head a bit there buddy

I like the enthusiasm!  I don't quite share it, but still......

[HtownColt]

I like the enthusiasm! I don't quite share it, but still......

I don't need anybody to agree with me, I'll just be the only one with that satisfying "I told you so" feeling when it happens

[danlhart87]

I believe the Colts beat the Chiefs in season and playoffs.

[sfergson727]

I don't need anybody to agree with me, I'll just be the only one with that satisfying "I told you so" feeling when it happens

If we win, you can say that to me all you want, and I'll gladly listen.

[HtownColt]

If we win, you can say that to me all you want, and I'll gladly listen.

I'm not going do that, I'm just going sit back and watch the forum flip flop when it happens

[Jules]

I am pretty comfortable with the idea right now of us hosting the Chiefs in the WC round. I kinda actually hope it stays this way too in the scenario and I honestly don't feel we will move up.

 

And Denver plays Houston and Oakland I think for the final 2 games. I doubt they lose to either right now let alone losing to both.

I think the answer is 'yes'

 

.... Denver would have to lose at either Houston or Oakland but even then, KC would have to beat Indy

 

But I think the Colts want KC, not Denver

You want Peyton Manning as opposed to Alex Smith?  Really?

[sb2001]

Absolutely, PM is hurting. A few Mathis ankle pops and down he goes. The Broncos D is horrible. Then onto New England. Oh, we trounce them too.

[Jules]

One week at a time with this team right now.

 

We should be able to handle Houston at home, as we always do.

 

KC at KC......not sure at all. Even if we lose that one I still like our chances at home in a playoff game in the crazy environment we will have.

 

Jaguars? Not as easy as it sounds. It's tough to sweep a division and they can be sneaky.....especially with us.

 

Just beat Houston and hopefully no more serious injuries. If we stay at #4 I am more then fine with it right now.

[ColtsFreak]

I much rather face the Chiefs than the Bronco's.  If we can shut down (Big IF) Jamal Charles. Alex can't beat us if we play decent.  Remember the chiefs got Avery even Vaughn could handle him.  I believe the chiefs might kick us at Arrowhead, then we will return the favor here at home.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

I don't need anybody to agree with me, I'll just be the only one with that satisfying "I told you so" feeling when it happens

May I join you? We can both sip our apple juice and laugh when we cream those Chiefs. We'll be laughing at the forum silently as they scrabble around for excuses or what have you.

#4 is our minimum ( and kinda maximum) right now. The rest of the season is just about trying to figure ourselves out, and get hot going into the playoffs. I feel the offense is figuring itself out, but the defense still has a long way to go. If our defense can start playing like it was mid season, then we might have a chance.

Yep. I think the offense may come along okay as well. I am a bit concerned with how the D seems to have fallen off a cliff since the Denver game, especially in the secondary but lets hope they find their big boy undies again in time for January...

[braveheartcolt]

Nah, he'll choke.

[pacolts56]

In a playoff game, what's the difference?

[AllYouNeedIsLuck]

We're going to lose to either so it doesn't really matter.

Love the optimism 

[AntonMcG]

Call me an optimist, but I think we will see a very different Colts in the playoffs.

[Susie Q]

Call me an optimist, but I think we will see a very different Colts in the playoffs.

Okay Mr Optimist     Are we getting a new coaching staff for the playoffs.  

[Old Colt]

Denver finishes with Houston and Oakland... they will win out and they have the Tie breaker over KC.... So we will play KC

[adamthyst]

I don't know who I'd wanna face out of these two teams. One has an offense that will probably kill our defense again (Well they both do) and one has a defense that can actually stop an offense.

[fatboy]

How things change. Today as 4, we now would play New England if top seeds advance. Frankly I'd prefer to avoid Broncos, and Gronkless NE is much weakened. Could anyone image a Colt/Bronco AFC Championship

[HeSoColt]

I want zero parts of the Broncos at LOS, Mile High or in my backyard.
