Still will need help.  But there’s a chance!

[bleed blue4life]

yea winning out is the only real way to get there 

[Nesjan3]

Beat the AFC teams and we have a good chance at the 7 seed I still think. A lot of the teams in front of us play each other. Someone has to lose those games. It will likely come down to a tiebreaker.

[colts89]

It'll be an interesting stretch of games to say the least. Pretty sure we'll drop 2 of them unfortunately.

[#12.]

I ran through the playoff simulator, giving the Colts either a loss to the Pats or Cardinals, filling in what I thought would happen elsewhere.  They finished with the 7th seed both times, so 4-1 might get it done.

[AlanNC]

We will need win out to have a chance.

Bengals are looking like the the 5 seed. Bills the 6th. We have to beat every AFC team for a chance. Beating cards may make bucs number 1 seed in nfc

We can but only if we aren't turning the football over and allowing the opposing team to score off it

Colts look like slight favorites for the 7th 52% compared to the Chargers 49%. Facing Bengals next week.

[coltsfeva]

  The Colts losses have been due to mistakes that have erased 2 score leads over teams like Tampa, Baltimore and Tennessee. They manhandled Buffalo.

    They have not been blown out by anybody or out-muscled.

      I like their chances of winning out or going 4-1.

Not with Reich taking JT off the field for nearly 2 quarters. 

[AKB]

I think we have a better chance against the cardinals than the pats at this point. That patriots team is shaping up nicely.

yeah i don't agree with all the passing. 5 man DLine or not, you run the ball with the best RB in the league.

5) Chargers 10-7 (6-6)

6)Bills 10-7 (6-6)

7)Colts 9-8 (8-4)

11)L.V. 7-10 (5-7)

12)Den 7-10 (3-9)

 

We have 2nd easiest schedule left of all clubs behind Buffalo, teams are going to cannibalize each other, next 2 weeks will show a lot. We have Texans and a bye , may be only wild card chasing club without a loss during that time.

Colts have 2 teams with losing records left, Buffalo has 3. Cinn (0), Clev (0),Pitt (0), LV (1), Den (1)

We beat two teams with winning records 49ers and bills lol

And we can make it into the playoffs without beating another team with a winning record. Houston,Jax and when we play them Las vegas......win those 3 we get in imo.

No we need to to beat one of Patriots or cardinals to

[holeymoley99]

We are focusing on the Colts playing inconsistent if you ask the fans of any of the wildcard chasing teams all will say the same about their team. Who is feeling good right now ?

 

Chargers ? Not after today

Bills ? Not with losing more key players and pats twice coming up

Raiders ? Not since Gruden and Ruggs fiascos

Browns ? With ravens twice coming up ?

Pitt ? After today def not

Denver ? With AFC record for tiebreaker ?

Bengals ? With that brutal schedule ?

 

None of the fan bases feel comfortable in all honesty

[Chrisaaron1023]

 

I'd like to listen to this right now.. 

[RollerColt]

It’s going to be very hard to beat the Cards or the Pats. I see us losing to both teams and just frustratingly missing the playoffs. 
 

The Cards are absolutely stacked as a team. And the Patriots look to be in 2001 form. And I hope to God the team isn’t overlooking the Texans like a lot of us on here are. Because they could seriously steal one from us.

I don't think 9 and 8 will be good enough

Have you broken down each team's schedule ? Which 3 wildcard do you have better then 9-8 or do you have a fellow 9-8 with a tiebreaker over us ?  Just curious, Ive broken down the road for each and dont see 3 who beat us out if we reach 9-8 and 3 are AFC wins.

Four games with the Texans and Jags plus the Jets at home skews things).  I mean other than the lions you could argue the Colts play the three worst teams in the league five times.

The chargers could finish 10-7 if they beat broncos. They may lose to Chiefs and Bengals but even that is no guarantee lol

[chad72]

Win out and we won’t depend on others.  Go 4-1, we would need some breaks.

What games do you have the Bengals winning ?

 

They are at Chargers,San Fran,at Den,Balt,KC and at Clev. I have them beating Chargers and Denver finishing 9-8 (7-5) and 8th

[GoColts8818]

If you are a Colts fan anytime the Bengals, Chargers, Bills, Raiders, or Broncos lose that’s good news.

Have them beating chargers Baltimore browns 49ers and chiefs should be losses but Denver is a toss up so 10-7 for Bengals

True but we can't afford to drop any more games either especially since that last week teams may rest players if their spot is secure and we could miss out if it comes to that

Teams will only rest if they have playoff spots locked up.  
 

Winning out would be nice but I don’t think it will happen.  4-1 is realistic and will probably get the Colts in the playoffs.  Even 3-2 (loses to the cards and Pats) could get the Colts in but they will need some help.  I ran the playoff machine on ESPN and it’s not impossible but if the Colts go 4-1 they have pretty good shot at making it.

Not sure where you have them winning vs losing.....you have them beating Chargers, Baltimore,Browns while losing to 49ers and Chiefs and maybe Denver ?

[Dark Superman]

I don't see this team beating New England or Arizona.

[Fisticuffs111]

Yup, and it’s not gonna happen imo. 

 

Don’t get me wrong. I think we beat up on the Texans and even the Jags in JAX (which hasn’t happened in a while), but I think we drop two games against either the Cards, Raiders, or Pats. 
 

This team is too inconsistent against decent/good teams. We shoot ourselves in the foot way too much to go 4-1 with a few good teams in there.

[JediXMan]

If the Colts do make the playoffs I’ll love to face the Ravens or Titans. Are you guys seeing this game
