I don't think he is wanting any part of the Giants. Lol.

[Lucky Colts Fan]

First game of the playoffs.

 

Let's shock the world!

 

[IinD]

Gave us the 'skank shift' if any Swingers movie fan of there.

 

They (networks) think we're the layup game.

 

Let's go Shoe..

[Numba1Colt]

got lucky... off work saturday at 1. ill set it to DVR and won't have to sweat missing anything get home get settled and start it up and get to skip time in between plays and first couple set of commercials 

 

but... bad side... Colts might be first team out of playoffs 

 

but at least they found a way to get in thanks to the Bills... winning lol... remember when the colts pulled starters vs jets while 14-0 and that worked out and they ended up facing the jets again in the AFCCG (attended this game)

I was JUST gonna say. Image his first playoff game is against the Giants of all teams. A 6-10 playoff team, who's the pressure on? With no Mike Evans

And Saturday 1 gosh dang... Hard sell on that day 

[w87r]

Started a discussion thread in NFL Gen also for rest of the games.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I figured they would get a crappy spot. Out of all the AFC games this is the one game that could be a blowout.

Yeah, if Taylor plays like he did today, and the defense contains Allen, the Colts very well could blowout the Bills.  

[JediXMan]

Predictable

Stay positive my friend

[chickenMan]

Well, here we go. Our first matchup is in freezing Buffalo against the AFC’s hottest team. Win that, and we take on the NFL’s best player in Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in freezing KC. Win that, and we take on whoever remains in what would be another freezing road game (funnily enough, Colts are the only AFC playoff team with a roof). Win that, and we take on the NFC winner in the Super Bowl.

 

If by some miracle we win the Super Bowl, having to beat the Bills, Chiefs, another AFC team, and the NFC winner, that would make history. After all, the seventh seed has never won the Super Bowl, but I suppose we get the first crack at it. 

 

GO COLTS!!!!

[w87r]

Please try to keep weekly discussion in this thread instead of opening a ton of individual threads.

Let's go Shoe..

Neither Buffalo or Indy has a large viewing audience.   The ratings for our game likely won’t be very good.    So, we ARE the layup game.   And if you were the exec making the call, you’d make the exact same decision.  
 

It’s not personal, it’s business.

Agreed. Was just poking fun at us.

Lol, can you imagine...

 

The first year there is a 7th seed, one of them actually wins it all...  

 

That would be so awesome.

We couldn’t even blow out Jacksonville.   And now you say we could blow out the Bills IN Buffalo?!?    Come on....  

[BProland85]

Ouch! Not the matchup I wanted for Indy round 1. 
 

Tennessee probably got what they wanted since they matchup with Baltimore well.

Yeah, look at every other playoff matchup:

 

Bills and Colts- Neither team has many fans, not good ratings

 

Browns and Steelers- Browns have a small but rabid fan base and the Steelers have one of the top three largest fan bases

 

Ravens and Titans- Titans have few fans, but Ravens have a lot of fans

 

Rams and Seahawks- Both teams have a ton of fans

 

Saints and Bears- Both teams have a good amount of fans

 

Bucs and Reds/Giants- Washington and Tampa don’t have many fans, but the Giants do

 

We’re the only game with low fan numbers on both sides, so naturally we get the crappy TV slot

I have no problem with it, I am just glad we are in and 11-5 is very good. Lets rock n roll.

I, for one, enjoyed your scenario.

I don't care who we play.

I don't care when we play.

I'm just glad that we're playing.

Agreed. Even if we get blown out by Buffalo, at least we can say we tried our hand in the playoff field; there are 18 other teams that can’t say that. I’ll never say no to an 11-5 season.

[csmopar]

all over the web, people are saying the Bills will crush the Colts, maybe they will, maybe they won’t. All I know is, I’m showing that stuff to the team every day, every hour, until game day. Let’s go in there and play some smash mouth ball.

I think we win, I am already predicting it.

[Bolts2Colts]

Saturday at 1 pm is perfect. Look on the bright side here:

 

if we win, gives us an extra day to prepare for the rested Chiefs. 

Will be warmer at 1 pm than late afternoon or evening. Better for a dome team. 
 

the football gods are smiling on us.

So true, I expect the Colts to win by 30

Yep. I think the experience will be huge. If Taylor van run well who knows.

Me too.

 

I think the Colts are starting to do the right things at the right time.

 

I think we can go into Buffalo and win 27-24.

well I mean the Colts lost to the Jags and beat the Packers this year.  One week doesn’t really translate to how another will go.  Not that I expect the Colts to blow out the Bills.
