The number 2 seed is up for grabs.

[Stephen 2,320]

With kc loss today the number 2 seed is up for grabs. Will the colts, texans, or raiders CV claim it.

[Chloe6124 7,855]

It’s going to be fun. KC still has some hard games left I think. But now the colts and Houston have the tie breaker over KC. Personally I think Houston is going to win the division. We will see. Bills will be interesting if they can still get that wildcard or they will crash. Defense is good but offense is not. That raiders lost was huge. It still ticks me off we gave a game away to the chargers. We might look back on that as it costing us the division.

[Chucklez 941]

Suddenly next weekend’s game against the Texans becomes extremely huge. 
 

it’s not going to be easy, Jake Briskett needs to turn it on, take off the training wheels and be a big factor in that game. So far he has been a good game manager and done enough for us to have potentially won each game, but this needs to be a big performance.

I like this thread because KC losing today could help us in the long run and we can get that #2. We have to beat Houston though and win the division for it too happen.

Wow the chiefs schedule does not look kind. They have a home game against the packers and a game against the Vikings. Both those teams can run the ball. They go to Denver next week which won’t be easy.

[2006Coltsbestever 27,867]

Thank God we won the KC game now otherwise Houston would be in complete control of the division. We still control our destiny. 

[Chloe6124 7,855]

The Texans play the raiders at home after they play us. This is going to get interesting.

[Smonroe 9,948]

Houston looks good.  The Chiefs went out of their way to blow the game, bit the Texans look like a balanced team with a lot of weapons. 
 

If we can’t establish a running game against them it’s going to be a long day.

HUMONGOUS contest at the Oil Drum next week. I’m looking forward to this. You guys give us the most trouble out of anyone in this division for sure

Yeah Houston has earned my respect over the last few years. Watson is dangerous, I didn't think you guys would beat KC today because they rarely lose 2 in row at home. That was a heck of a win like our's was last week.

[Chloe6124 7,855]

Don’t forget about the ravens.

Not worried  about the ravens

[Chloe6124 7,855]

Just think if we beat the Texans next week we could be in that number two seed. The ravens lost to KC. Depends if the raiders win and Kansas City loses again.

[IndySouthsider 383]

Houston still has NE and Baltimore I believe?

 

So much football left, but I notice Watson seems to be given much more time behind the line.

As I have aged I rarely let losses bother me as much or games give me stomach problems. I am already thinking about next weeks game though. That is a huge one!

[Chloe6124 7,855]

We need the raiders to lose next week.

[Chloe6124 7,855]

That loss in LA hurts.

They play at GB next week so there is a good chance they will.

[Chloe6124 7,855]

KC is going to be in trouble playing MN and GB with that run defense.

[Chloe6124 7,855]

It also looks like the Texans play the jags in London.

[Imgrandojji 1,223]

We're going to have to upgrade our roster if we want the inside track, but we are in with a chance.

That or we need Cain to be Superman. We also need a DE with Turay out. The good news is we should have funchess back soon which will help some. 

[Chloe6124 7,855]

Jacoby has a 3-0 record against the Texans. The two wins with the colts were with Watson injured. He also had a win in NE. I think TY even had big games against them when Jacoby was the QB.

I hope Joseph plays and guards TY that’s usually who gets burnt

[Chloe6124 7,855]

I think it’s interesting the way the nfl has turned out. It turns Out the second half of our season is going to be harder then the first half. Carolina is going to be tough. Saints will have Brees back and lots of division games. We thought we got through the tough part already. We have the next five but after that it gets really hard. Turns out teams we thought were good are bad and some mediocre teams like Carolina are turning out pretty good.

Tampa Bay is confusing. Are we getting Winston that hung 55 on the Rams or the one who throws a lot of picks

I watched most of that this morning. Seems if you get some pressure on him he will fall apart. He doesn’t know when to just get rid of that ball.

I always figured our last three games would be tough. Saints for obvious reasons, Panthers because I think really highly of CMC and their WR’s, and the Jags are never fun.

 

We were always gonna have to take advantage of the middle portion/home friendly portion of our schedule.

The good news is I don’t think the colts have played their best football yet. If we had turned a couple of those FG into TD at KC that  probably would of been the perfect game. We would of blown out the chiefs. I don’t think we have had a complete game yet where both sides of the ball were good. That chargers game might come back and bite us in the butt. We have to come through the next 5 games at least 4-1. It’s going to tell a lot. The run defense must get better. Carolina  although they run defense  they aren’t great at run defense. Neither are the jags.

[Chloe6124 7,855]

If we don’t come out of this stretch 4-1 it’s bad news because we then have to go down to Houston at the end of it. The Steelers are beating  up the chargers. Wow chargers are bad.

[Chloe6124 7,855]

This was a great game by TY and JB. This is the game TY acted like he got touched then went in for the score. Hopefully we see this between the two Sunday.

 

 

[CR91 10,773]

Im interested to see how we approach this game. We got after Watson, but the line seems better this year

He needs to do to Houston what he did to Atlanta.

I would not read too much into the Colts and the Texans beating the Chiefs.  Against the Colts, the Chiefs were without their #1 and #2 receiver, 2 or 3 of their starting oline, and during the game lost their ILB, probowl DT and someone else.

 

Against the Texans the #1 WR was on a pitch count, still without their #2 WR, still missing 2 starting olineman, probowl DT, staring ILB.

 

I'm not saying the Colts or Texans did not earn their wins, both played good games but we all know if the Colts were that handicapped the Colts fans would be using that as a reason after a loss (don't believe me, look at the threads after the Oakland loss and how many people said, if the Colts had Funchess, Hilton and Leonard the game would have been different)
