AFC playoff picture


GoColts8818

Recommended Posts

We are six games in and the playoff teams are starting separate themselves.  It’s going to be hard to make it in the AFC this year.  I think they break down like this:

 

Locks

Chiefs

 

Close to a lock

Titans

Ravens

Steelers

 

Feeling Good

Bills

 

More Likely than not

Browns

 

Race for the last spot

Pats
Raiders

Colts
 

Not Dead Yet

Broncos
Dolphins

 

Better Luck next year

Chargers

Texans

Jags

Bengals

 

we are drafting Lawerence

Jets

the Ravens titans packers titans stretch is gonna be brutal.

If the Colts can get one of those (probably Packers or Titans at home most likely) I’ll be happy.  If they could get two I’d be thrilled.  What they can’t do is go 0-4 in that stretch. That means they have to win out in the other games to go 10-6 and with the Texans twice, at the Steelers, and the Raiders that’s not likely.

my guess is we drop 2 of those and then one more against either the raiders or steelers and then maybe a loss at Houston. That's 10-6.

hopefully its the Titans twice

I think the Ravens aren’t as bad of a match up for the Colts as it first appears.  I am more scared of the Raiders and Steelers to be honest.  Also the Packers defense is not good.  If Rivers can play like he did today in that one he might be able to win a shoot out vs the Packers at home.

Yea we made the Bengals, Browns and Jaguars look good. The top tier teams are steamrolling these same teams. The second half is looking scary for sure. I have been a Rivers hater from the day we signed him but one thing he has going for him is he plays very well in Nov and Dec. Heres hoping that continues because we play a lot of really good looking teams

Actually Raiders should be in the Lock because they beat the Chiefs

Patriots are 2-4... with some pretty tough games coming up too. They’re in the try again next year group

Nah I think they are in the hunt of it.  I am not counting BB out until they are eliminated.  I didn’t like Brady and feel he got a lot of praise he didn’t deserve but BB is the real deal.

Look it up Peyton did as well.

well you stated playoff picture then you had the chiefs a dead lock but they lost to the Raiders so how are they a lock?

Because I think the chiefs go 13-3 12-4 at worst.  I think the raiders go 11-5 at best but probably more likely to be 10-6 maybe 9-7.

You’re right. I’d forgotten about that

the packers looked horrible today got blown out by 4 tds.  i think they are overrated .  rodgers is great but the defense is overrated so is the run game .   if rivers plays good we have a chance

If Rivers plays like he did today the Colts will have a chance in that game.  The Packers also don’t play well in Indy they haven’t won here since the 80’s or early 90’s.  Granted they only come once every 8 years.

We beat a very good Bears team quite handily, Leonard will be back after the break and perhaps Turay as well.

They beat the Bears by one position.  That’s not handily.  
 

Getting those guys back will help for sure and they will need them because after the Lions the Colts play a murders row of teams the rest of the way.  The Titans twice, Texans twice, Ravens, Raiders, Packers, and Steelers.  They do get the Jags at home to end the year but given the Colts recent history vs the Jags that’s not a sure thing.

    • I like it overall, but I don't think there's a snowballs chance in hell we're drafting Kinchens after his atrocious Combine. With a RAS of 2.27 he's not even a blip on Ballard's radar lol.
    • Sorry late to the party line chat on Page 57 of 94   Skyy Moore, deleted that draft class and notes but Moore seemed to have some potential but wasn't sold on him.  Viewed Moore as an average receiver not much more.  I wouldn't trade for him.   If you were looking to trade for any WR, I would suggest targeting the Packer's Dontayvion Wicks.    As for some of these other comments that I have read up and not going to ready through 30 pages.  Colts spent 200M on most of their own (top NFL) players,    Recent news I saw is that the Colts haven't had any communication talks about trading for Sneed.  How true that is or not to be seen.  Seems the Colts have done a lot spending 200M on their own and doubt we have much cap space left to sign a big-name player like Sneed.  Still haven't seen latest cap space figures since our latest signing.     The Colts build through the draft and those expectations will not change this season.  Again, our organization was lucky enough to sign some of our best positional players.  Sadly, not everyone can get resigned and do expect Blackmon to move on.  Latest rumor is Blackmon signs with the Bills. 
    • The problem is Ballard drafts traitsy raw guys more often than not, so by the time AR is ready we likely won't know if the guys he drafted are IT. That issue then gets compounded by Ballard not using FA to bring in guys who work NOW. THEN if the guys he drafts miss, we'll be waiting another 2-4 years on the next batch... see the problem?   That's fair I guess, but Armstead and Huff were signed for ~$17m/year.   Huff was the 2nd most efficient pass rusher IN THE LEAGUE in 2023 behind only Micah Parson - that's better than Myles Garrett, TJ Watt, Nick Bosa you name 'em. For $17m that's worth taking a shot at, because even if he only produces at a good level he'd still likely be a Jonathan Greenard who signed for $19m. IF he works out though he'd be the bargain of the decade.   Armstead has already played with Buckner and he would be a big upgrade over Grover Stewart for $4m more per year than what we signed Grover for.
    • Great post, thanks.  One of your best.    I think your roster bonus argument crushes my signing bonus argument.   100 percent flattens it.   Like a Quinton Nelson pancake!   I don’t see a counter argument.     Many thanks.          
    • I’d like to focus on one paragraph.   The one about AR working out.   You connect AR working out, which will take 2-4 more years to confirm with “the roster as it is now.”    Thats a flaw.   When we know about AR working out, whether it’s 26, or 27,  that will be connected to the roster that he has THEN, not the roster he has NOW.   See the disconnect?  The roster should be better to support AR.   And I wouldn’t call guys like Luvu or Stone, both guys I like, as shiny toys.  They’re solid players I think we’d all like.  The Sony toys are the four big name plays you listed.  Those guys are just too expensive.
