The Texans have enough defensive firepower to beat the Jaguars, unlike the Giants who let them move up and down the field when it mattered.

 

I still think the division comes down to the Colts home game vs the Texans. Besides, you play for the highest seed possible. When the Colts won the SB, we were a #3 seed hosting the #4 seed Patriots in the AFCCG due to a series of upsets in the divisional round. So, having the tie-breaker over the Bengals who have one less loss than us, we have to try to get the #3 seed as much as possible even if we cannot get a bye assuming the Bengals lose one later in the season.

Ehhh.. the Colts can lose that game to Texas and still would be big favorites to win the division. Big thing is  the 3rd tie breaker which is record in common games. The Colts have a two game edge here. So here's how I at least think it goes. If the Colts beat Tenn and EITHER Cleveland or Dallas that gives them 10-6 record and clinches the division. So even if Houston wins out ( beats the Colts and Balt ) and finishes 10-6 also.. they tie in record vs each other (1-1) and tie in division record (both 5-1). So now goes to common games and by beating just Cleve or Dallas , the Colts would finish a game up here.

You are spot on.  Houston losing to the Bengals and Giants helps us immensely.

Huge odds against them overtaking us.

 

1) They have to beat us at home.

2) They have to beat Baltimore

3) Colts need to lose to Cleveland AND Dallas.

 

Plus I'm conceding them beating Jacksonville at home and on the road which I think is tougher than us just beating Tenn on the road.

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.

      3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team.

      Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
