Happy New Year, Colts Fans! I hope your year has started out well.   The Colts will clinch a playoff berth with a win against the Raiders today.    The Colts host the Las

I think Antonio Brown just pulled a Vontae Davis and retired mid-game. Took his jersey and gloves off on the sidelines, and threw them into the crowd and ran off the field.

We need more than an offense that features JT.  we just do not have enough offensive weapons.

 

 

Pittman is our best receiver - but he is more a possession type of receiver.  Pascal has just about disappeared in this offense. He has not been a factor since early part of the season. TE slot is weak.  Hilton is on his last legs. I do not understand why we do not use Hines more in passing game.

If the Chargers win today, they take the 7 seed and we move up to the 6 seed, meaning as it stands we would be facing Cincy in the first round in that situation. So root for the Chargers today I suppose

no i think we would be out of the playoffs temporarily. the pats would have 5 seed, raiders 6 seed and then either us or chargers are at 7 depending on tie breakers

Really?! Who is 5th?

Patriots, they are 10-6. We would be in a three way tie with the Raiders and Chargers at 9-7, and the Raiders are the odd ones out because of their loss to their divisional rival Chargers. If we win next week, we’re in, potentially as a 5 seed, but no worse than the 6 seed

Nope, Raiders are odd ones out. Three-way tiebreakers are very weird in the NFL, but because the Raiders and Chargers are divisional rivals and the Chargers beat the Raiders earlier in the year, that takes the Raiders out of the three way tie and leaves us and the Chargers tied. Then, because we have the better conference record over the Chargers, we win that tiebreaker, making us the six seed, the Chargers the seventh seed, and the Raiders right outside, looking in.

Titans are looking like they’re gonna be the number 1 seed after today too..bad day all around for Colts fans.

 

Let's not count our chickens here in Nashville just yet. The Titans have a horrible habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory when it comes to playoff seeding. Hell, it happened earlier this season when we were #1 and then lost to.....<checks schedule> Houston!

I know Miami and Baltimore losing helps us at least. A lot of these teams are even, this puts us back under the radar so we can get thrashed all week by our fans and media, I still see us getting in as the 7th seed. Strange but fun season. Ups and downs, beat the Pats and lose a game like this haha . That is Football.

Miami is now eliminated, and the Ravens are teetering on the brink after their loss -  we're the 6th seed, thanks to the Chargers win.

We haven’t won in Jacksonville since 2016. Why people keep thinking this will be a walkover is a mystery to me.

Typo.. 2014. Doesn’t make it better, does it?

Sounds like we're due! We haven't lost 2 in a row since September, and this season we're better on the road (5-2) than we are at home (4-5).

Was out of town for a Christmas party today so I didn't get to watch or listen. Just read every post. It Took about 2 1/2 hours. Just  amazed on how there was so excitement the 1st few pages then then how quickly things turned. I'm upset yes, but I also grew up a raiders before  starting to follow the Colts back in 1994. So I have mixed feeling about this game. Not happy this happened with so much on the line though, But I had a feeling the Colts would loose this game especially after seeing the Irish get beat the way they did. It's just the way my luck goes.

@LV-FrontRowgreat win man, I thought we would smoke you guys but you guys have a lot of heart. I like Carr.

 

Right on!

 

Most Raiders fans thought you guys would smoke us as well. I mentioned in another thread that the Raiders are Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde kind of team. I really think their recent 3 wins is a result of covid issues of teams they've played against and the Broncos using their backup QB. The Raiders have had some really big turmoil this year but they are grinding it out. How often do you see a week 5-6 start interim head coach contend for the playoffs?

 

The Colts should win next week especially after they are past their covid issues somewhat and will be able to practice. The Colts have a good team and I hope they make some noise in the playoffs.

      Has anyone considered Lamar Jackson? (merge)

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      I love the few in here that don't want Lamar so they are just coming up with everything. This is them when it comes to Lamar = -no, I don't want a QB who is top 8 (which he is top 8) in the league and can turn our team around in just 1 year

      How can you trust Ballard?

      By DougDew · Posted

      This isn't that complicated.  In the eyes of many here, Ballard was not too slow.  It was CAR that was desperate.   I simply contend that CAR knew who they wanted and got in position to get him, because they figured that when other teams finished their due diligence on QBs, enough teams would come to the same conclusion about who the number 1 guy was.   And Ballard says there is not enough difference in the QBs to make the trade up.  Fine.  From an overall talent grade, they may be the same.  But based upon who he settles for at pick 4, there is going to be a tremendous difference in skill sets/ traits that has to be navigated.  AR is a different guy than shrimpy Young, and Levis is different than all three.   So instead of going up and getting the guy that fits what you want to do, Ballard is apparently going to settle for who the QB is (one of two choices probably), then decide what his team is going to look like from there.   Is there a component here that I'm missing?

      Colts have 4th pick (Official Discussion Thread)

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      I said the same thing about Brady Quinn. I was like why is he trying to be a body builder and look like Arnold. I thought it was one of the goofiest things I have ever seen for a QB.

      Is this your prediction for the way the Lamar situation gets resolved?

      How can you trust Ballard?

      By shasta519 · Posted

      I just meant that he has had plenty of draft capital and cap space to build up a team. That he wasn’t restricted in those avenues.    Some of that is to his credit because he is shrewd at draft day trades. Just in his first two seasons, he had a top 15 pick, #6 pick and (5) R2 picks. By the end of his 3rd draft, he had been able to draft (10) top 64 players. That’s a lot of capital. And even since then, he’s had plenty of capital and hasn’t really had to pick late ever.    Also, the cap was in good shape as well when he got here. And actually, Luck retiring would have opened up a lot of cap space as well. So he’s had the financial ability to get players.    I do agree that IND might not be the most attractive spot for FAs, but plenty of teams deal with that.    Luck retiring had a huge impact, but still, the resources have been there to be better than a 4-win team after 6 offseasons of roster building.   When Ballard got here, he said “it will never be about one guy” and now it is about one guy. And Ballard has preached about sustained success and delayed gratification. I think it’s safe to say the fans have yet to get either.   By his own words and goals set forth, he failed. He even said he failed.    Will he adapt and have more success? It’s certainly possible. And I hope he does.
