I think we have what it takes to get into the playoffs

[compuls1v3]

and by that, I mean Luck! (All PUN intended) Gonna need a lot of it, but our defense can signal up the pressure when needed. Not sure we can go far if we get in, but it would be cool to away least see us swinging regardless if we make it or not, and today was a good statement game and an excellent response to last week's goose egg!!

[krunk]

We got to win that Cowboys game. Pretty big game

[Rally5]

Basically, every game is a playoff off game from here out.

[SteelCityColt]

Win out and you’ve got a real chance. The Titans game could end up being a winner takes all. 

 

The encouraging thing is we made the Texans look very ordinary today on O.

[MacDee1975]

We’re better than the team that’s leading the division so yeah, we do have what it takes to make the playoffs.

[BloodyChamp]

Is there a way to not make it if they win out? They would be handing losses to 2 teams in the hunt and 1 team with upsets over playoff teams in case tiebreaker stuff happens.

[KelownaColtsFan]

Mahomes did the Colts a big favor today, converting last minute on 4th and 9 vs the Ravens.

I am not sure the ravens have any common opponents left. So yes if we win out and the ravens win out we do not make it.

yeah they are basically a half game ahead of us due to the tie breaker

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looking at the ravens and Texans schedule I think we actually have a better chance to win the division then getting a wildcard.

Too bad this overrated, mediocre Texan team fell assbackward into like 4 wins this year.  Indy has the best team in the divison, but it will be hard to win the division at this point.

 

If the season restarted now, the Colts would be like 10-3.....the Texans would be 6-7, at best.

The Texans would have to lose to Kessler and the Jags for us to get the tiebreaker.

[CR91]

Watch the steelers as well. The raiders are up with 6 mins left. Theyll drop to 7-5-1 if they lose

Not true actually, if we win out it doesn't matter who the Texans lose to. They need to lose 2/3, but we either win the tie breaker based on record against common opponents, or divisional record.

Haven't gone through the steps, but the playoff machine says otherwise.  If we're both 10-6 and they beat the Jags, it has them winning the division.

The Chargers play this Thursday and then they have a 10 day break to prepare for a home game vs the Ravens in week 16. I'm betting on the Chargers in that one.

The Colts are the Buzzkill team. Redskins crushed the Cards week 1, Indy beat em handily a week later. Titans blew out the Pats, Colts blew out the Titans a week later. Texans won 9 in a row, Colts ended their win streak. Now the Cowboys are on a roll, but the Colts are gonna stop that too 

[King Colt]

Getting to the playoffs is one thing, winning in the playoffs is another. The Colts can beat Dallas if they play four quarters instead of three like they did against the Texans.

Playoff machine is wrong. If Texans lose 2 out of their final 3, that would give them 5 losses versus common opponents (Giants, Titans, Patriots, and 2 of their final 3). Colts currently have  4 (New England, Jets, Jax, and Philly).

 

Indy's 5th and 6th losses are to Houston and Cincinnati, neither of which count towards common opponent. Not sure why the playoff machine isn't working, but it's bugged.

No, the playoff machine is definitely correct.  Google NFL tie breaking procedures. If a tie occurs within a division, it goes 1)Head to head record, 2)Division record, and THEN 3) Record against common opponents.  Colts have lost 3 dovision games, while the Texans have only lost 2.  

[The Peytonator]

One thing people are overlooking; with the Steelers losing today, provided that we win out, the Steelers or Ravens only need to lose one of their three games left. It would put us a half game over the Steelers or a full game over the Ravens. Steelers have the Pats next week and the Saints the following week and they just lost to the Raiders. Ravens have the Chargers in a couple weeks. If we win out we definitely have a great shot.

Pretty much this, win out and I think we have a very good shot. Lose one and it gets... squeaky.

[Narcosys]

We still almost lost this game, offense needs to get better or we're done.

[Narcosys]

I guess I stand corrected. Looking forward with the playoff machine, the Ravens are going to win their division, which puts us in competition with the Steelers and Broncos. We can lose one more but not two and still make it in at 9-7. So root for the Saints in week 16 and the Chargers in Week 17.

 Broncos lost and are 6-7. 

If the Colts win out and Pittsburgh loses to NE or NO and/or Baltimore loses to  the Chargers, the Colts are in.

The Playoff machine is wrong, Colts only have 2 Division losses NOT 3. Colts are 3-2 in the Division and if we win out we would have the tiebreaker over Houston if we both go 10-6. A Houston fan must've hacked the ol Playoff machine

Simple terms.. Who we rooting for next week besides us of course??

I know, but I can see them winning out. Baltimore will drop one but will win the Division over the Steelers.

Pats over Steelers

Giants over Titans

Vikes over Dolphins

Colts over Cowboys

[Myles]

I don't see us "winning out".    Dallas is strong, the Giants are playing better and the Titans is on the road.   With this team having stretches like the Jags game and yesterdays 1st quarter, I don't see us stringing 3 more wins together.  

However, it could happen and it has to start by beating a darn good Dallas team.   We will need to find a way to bust threw their O-line.

I am out of LIKES but this, it is tough to top what just happened this week but this would top it if all of the above happens.

I still say we finish 9-7 but if we do beat Dallas, 10-6 is looking alot better. I have Dallas a 50/50 game. They are pretty good.

In the end game, I would  if Pitt missed the Playoffs and we got in at #6. That would be my karma for 1995.

It is so tough.   We have to root for the Pats.  

Well, I guess there is a loophole.   We play at 1pm and the Pats/Pit game is at 4:25pm.    If we get beat by Dallas, it won't matter if the Pats beat the Steelers. 

[Dingus McGirt]

It seems pretty good that, so far,  no one can start the "resting our starters" talk across the league.  :^)

 

That always influences the outcome of games in the final couple of weeks.

[Coltsfan1953]

How about if the Pats and Squeelers tie, can we root for that. I hate both teams.

I'm not "rooting" for them, cause I am counting that as a win for the Pats.
