Week 17 Jaguars @Colts, Jan. 3, 2021, 4:25 EST

[NFLfan]

Happy New Year, everyone! 

 

 

We have reached the end of the regular season but not the end of football for your Indianapolis Colts. The 10-5 Colts will make the postseason if they win and get one of the other playoff contenders to lose. The Colts also have a chance to win the division if the Titans lose. 

 

The Colts will play the Jaguars who come to Indy with a 1-14 record and have clinched the #1 spot in this year's draft. The Jags have nothing to play for except pride. Their only win was against the Colts in Jacksonville. However, they face a more determined Colts team this time who intend to make playoffs and go far. 

 

Who won't be playing for the Colts:

Rock Ya Sin

Khari Willis

Will Holden

Anthony Castonzo (IR)

 

Who is out for the Jags:

(WR) DJ Chark

(RB) James Robinson 

(WR) Collin Johnson

 

Good luck and enjoy the game!

Game Preview from Indy Star

Colts win 40-13, thanks for the thread.

I can’t believe we are at the end of the season. The NFL made it with just s fee interruptions. Let’s hope we get one more game next week.

Go Colts

 

Go:

Bills

Bengals

Steelers

Texans

 

 

Edit: and go Vikings with whatever result @NFLfan would like them to have.

[John Hammonds]

I believe the Colts will win, but will not cover the spread.

24-17 Colts

I think the Bills beat the Dolphins, allowing us in.

[MB-ColtsFan]

Thanks again for opening the thread, NFLfan.  Happy New Year, everyone!  Hoping we start the new year off with an entry into the playoffs.  We should win without too much difficulty today, but the Jags always play us tough.  27 - 10 Colts.

Never understood flexing us to the late games when the TV coverage looks exactly the same as it would had we been in the 1PM slot?  It's not like any more people are going to be able to see the game so no need for the added drama.  Oh well.  Whatever...

GO Colts!  All day.  Every day.

You're welcome. How does a Jersey guy become a Colts fan before the 1969 Super Bowl against a NY/NJ team?     (Were the Jets playing in NJ at the time?)

 

I was a student in college when I chose the Vikings. My own hometown team (the Giants) had just won the Super Bowl in 1990. There were fans of the Bills, Jets, and Giants all over but I chose an out-of-town team.

Go Steelers, not Brown's.

This is going to be a high blood pressure day.

It thought maybe you were so confident in the Bills that you'd root against the Steelers

Nope, need all the options we can get today.

Is there a thread for the games the Colts need or is it OK to post in here.

Haha...it was actually somewhat similar for me in that everyone else (my brother, best friend, etc) all had favorite teams and I didn't.  It was just before the '69 Super Bowl and the Colts were heavily favored to win (and I wanted a winner), so I chose the Colts as my favorite team.  We all know how that worked out, lol.  Pure embarassment for 9 year old me, haha.

 

No, the Jets were still at Shea at the time.  To this day I still loathe Joe Willie...still have no idea how he made it to the HOF.  I still think it was solely because of the win over the Colts to make the AFL legit.

We've done it a few times in here before since it's all relevant.

Just sayin'...

I think given how much 3 games impacts on ours later it might be a good topic to post a combined response into. 

 

There is also:

Good stuff. I love to hear about how people became fans of certain teams. I was not born yet when Super Bowl 3 took place. But for years I heard about it on WFAN sports radio in NY.

 

Good for you that you did not change allegiances. 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Everyone of these games is starting out very bad for the colts. This is what happens can when you don’t take care of business.

Not going to get concerned until after the half on any of these games.

The games just started, all still in the first quarter.

[Myles]

Brown's up 7-0 and driving.  The are dominating the S Steelers.  

Be tough for Pit to win this.

Pitt can come back from being down 17.  At least I think I remember them doing that once.  Lol

I don't see it happening without Ben.   But it is only the 2nd quarter.  

Bummer to see all the teams we need to lose, winning.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

With the way the browns game is going my guess is Allen is going to be done soon.

Bills starting to click on offense.  D is playing well.  Just have to hope that they can score a bunch of points before they take out their starters.

[JackOLantin]

Go Colts.

 

[Myles]

Brown's up 10-3  

[MB-ColtsFan]

Bills now up 14-3.  2 for McKenzie today.  Allen looking real good.
