Red: Tennessee @ Pittsburgh (I wish I had this one showing.)

Yellow: NY Jets @ Miami

Orange: Houston @ Jacksonville

Blue:  Cincinnati @ Denver (LATE)

Green: Atlanta @ San Francisco (LATE)

 

Fox early game 15-FOX-E-V2.png

 

Red: Dallas @ Giants

Yellow: Cardinals Lions

Green: Carolina @ Buffalo

 

***The Fox late game, Packers @ Ravens, will be shown around the country.

 

Which games are you following? Which ones affect Colts playoff chances? Which teams are you rooting for.

 

My team plays tomorrow. So, I probably will not  be watching much today.  

 

Enjoy! :fb:

Thanks for the thread. I appreciate it when you make these. I get Titans at Pitt at 1pm on CBS and Cowboys at Giants on Fox. Packers at Ravens at 430 on CBS.

You're welcome. You get some good games. I'm rooting for the Ravens but I think Colts fans are rooting for the Packers.

I hope the Ravens win their division because they own the tiebreaker over us regarding Wildcard. Tennessee winning would help us because it would end Pitt's season, Cincy at Denver, I am ok either way because a loss by either helps us.

Actually I think we need to root for denver to win because we need ravens to win that division. I don’t think ravens are going to win today so we really need Steelers, browns, Bengals to lose.

Rooting for Green Bay as we hold most tiebreakers over Baltimore anyway (Star would have to align for them to get in over us if identical records due to our AFC record over them).  

 

Pitt over Tenn as I now want the AFC South title

 

LV over Clev keep both behind us with cushion

 

Cinn over Denver, all but eliminate Broncos and get Bengals in over Ravens

I kinda think you want the Ravens to win the north. We know the Colts can play them well in their house.  Also, and more importantly, they are one of the few teams that owns a tie breaker over the Colts.  If you can have them out of the wildcard race that’s good for the Colts.

Colts hold more tiebreakers over Balt then Balt holds over Indy......would rather play at Cinn then Balt if comes to that. I think Ravens fall all the way out with Indy,Buff and LAC getting wildcard spots

They are missing Hopkins and falling apart like a lot of people thought would happen to the Titans without Henry.

Their typical late season crash. They did it last season too. If colts can  beat them next week I think there will be a good chance the raiders game we will be able to clinch a playoff birth with a win.

Ravens hold the head to head tiebreaker.

The ravens own the head to head tie breaker over the Colts if it comes down to just them the Colts are out.  The Colts own the tiebreaker over just about everyone else including both the Browns and Bengals at the moment.

Cardinals have allowed 52 yards rushing in one quarter to Craig Reynolds. Bodes well next week. Goff is also passing very well.  Murray only has 5 yards passing lol.

Cardinals are bad against the run most backs average over 4 yards a carry against them.

Which ONLY comes into play if Ravens have beat ALL teams they are tied with not just us.....which they wont likely have since so many teams similar recoed and then that gets thrown right out...that is the key

It comes into play if it comes down to just the Colts and Ravens.  Head-to-head is the first tie breaker.  That’s why you don’t want the Ravens in that mix.  Multiple teams yes advantage slips back to the Colts but three way tie breakers don’t happen that much at the end of the season.

Odds just two teams end up in tiebreaker almost non existent so not really much a factor and further more dont forget when teams tied in same division for 2nd and 3rd that first comes into play and who advance they dont put both into AFC record tiebreaker and Balt behind both Clev and Cinn they wouldnt even make it into the discussion . We advance over either Clev or Cinn

You may want to research that a bit, or better yet remember back 11 months in the AFC....Balt,Clev,Indy all finish 11-5 for 5,6,7 seed and Mia lost final game or would have been 4 all tied

I believe there will be more than five head coaching vacancies. There are two already and there may be more in Chicago, Minny, and Pitt.

 

Who are some of the coaching candidates that people like? One Vikings fans wants Eberflus. 

 

I don't like changing coaches; so, I don't know who I want if we fire Zimmer. I hope we keep our GM.

    • Congratulations to Ryan Kelly and his wife!!! Wishing for a new chapter on and off the field filled with happiness and positives for Ryan Kelly. 
    • Philly and Bills didn't take that next step till Hurts and Allen evolved as passers. We know the ceiling AR can hit as a runner, the passing ability is the X factor that Steichen is tasked with improving significantly compared to the running prowess. Till that happens, the legs will be the insurance to win games early on in the first year or two. Year 3 is when Bills got Diggs and Philly got A J Brown for Allen and Hurts respectively, and that was parallel with their big jump in passing prowess too, so Ballard has a part to play in it as well to get the right pieces around AR.
    • I don't think that's the case.. when people here say Ballard is good at drafting especially, it doesn't mean he has no misses in his draft picks.    I was not trying to convince anyone about anything. My point was Roseman does have a knack of fixing his mistakes, like he missed on QB and WR, but did get top notch players at these positions very soon, while still keeping the rest of the roster a championship material, especially in the trenches.   Most of the GMs including Ballard struggle to fix some position groups while few others break down. I think that's where Roseman has differentiated himself from the rest of the crowd. He's got some far sighted vision and execution.    Anyway, I can't recall how we got here discussing this in Hopkins trade, probably from Vikings drafting Jefferson. I was not trying to get any point across to you, I just try to add points to the discussion and sometimes it would elicit response from the comment I choose to reply. 
    • I'm not a football historian.  But a big leap probably came in the 1950s when the forward pass was being emphasized and a whole new level of complexity in planning and execution was introduced.  Then another in the 1970's when QBs like Bobby Douglas finally were relegated to dinosaur status.  Then another leap in the 1980s and 1990s when Bill Walsh and his Tree emphasized even more complexity and nuance.  Its probably been more iteration of back and forth and situational strategy from that point on more than its been an evolution as an entire league.     Many things get too complex for their own good and the evolution curve runs out of steam.  The level gets too complex to be sustainable and sort of implodes.  Then "back to basics" rises from the ashes.   The NFL probably has run its course in getting more complex so QBs like AR are probably in the perfect spot to capitalize on the NFLs regression back to basics.
    • It's simple. Watch Philly last year and that's what we will be playing; the 6 back offence.
