Just something I came across a few weeks back while looking at playoff percentages.

 

I found it.

 

Week 16 N.F.L. Playoff Picture: A Team-by-Team Guide https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/12/23/upshot/nfl-playoff-picture-week-16.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

 

Quote

The Colts would make the playoffs by winning their remaining games, all against eminently beatable opponents. They face only one team with a winning record — the Texans, who share the Colts’ 8-6 record (and a nearly identical path to the postseason).

That matchup with the Texans, in Week 18, is the most important of the three for the Colts. As long as the Colts win that, they can probably afford a loss to the Falcons in Week 16 or to the Raiders in Week 17.

It’s amazing how little coverage there is on the Colts on the football shows.  If we win today I think that will change big time.  If we lose back to the end of the line.


Not really they’ll talk about what the Falcons did wrong like the did with the Steelers. I don’t mind it though keep winning go Colts.

How did bengals not go ahead of us? I am really confused.  I am in shock.

Because with more than 2 teams tied H2H only plays in if 1 team has beat all the other teams tied.

 

 

We have best conference record of all teams at 8-7.

I am shocked. Maybe I will give them a break for how bad they were today then. I imagine you knew this the entire time lol.

I knew this loss wouldn't be too bad in the grand scheme, but it helps that Texans lost to the Browns.

 

 

They don't deserve a break for how bad they played today.

Of course Jags are down 10. What a waste of opportunity.

Yeah, but I think Titans can get them in week 18.

 

 

Definitely blew this one though.

I don’t think that will happen with bengals last two games. Although if browns have that 5th seed locked up they could sit some players.

Yeah just need the Chiefs to get them, or worst case scenario be in a 3 team tie at whatever record it ends up being.

Taking the division would be kind of fun, this team isnt going on any kind of playoff run.

 

Its funny the league expanded to 7 playoff teams while giving the 7 seed a near impossible road to anywhere.  I dont think a 7 has won a playoff game yet

 

They face the 2 on the road and then if they win they get the 1 seed on the road coming off a bye

So colts still control their own destiny?

 

No, the Steelers and powers that be control their destiny. 

If the Steelers need the colts to lose, or any one else, they will. 

 

Reminds me of the end of season two seasons ago. The colts lost last two games and Rothlisberger made the playoffs. 

That's what made last weeks result so surprising, but it wasn't the last game of the season, so I guess it wasn't absolutely necessary?? 

 

Anyway, we'll see soon enough.

Did you guys see the panthers score today. GB won but panthers scored 30. Hopefully they can keep that up next week. lol

They won 1, and almost pulled this one out. Also Frank is gone, playing much better.

 

Hopefully they can keep it close and pull it out in the end.

 

If not, I have full confidence the Titans will give them everything they can handle in Nashville.

I just don’t like week 18 games when the other team doesn’t have anything to play for. Tannehill played today. He probably gives them the better chance to win. But Levis will probably be back next week. Hopefully they can beat Texans.

We could still win the division as silly as that sounds if the Jags lose today. They still play at Titans and that won't be easy because both teams hate each other. 

It might come down to week 18.  If jags lose this game and both win next week it’s going down to last week of season.

    • It just seems like people have sold themselves the idea he was going to come out great this season which I think is and was completely unreasonable.   I hope to see some improvement by the end of the season, but I really don't expect a whole lot until sometime next season. AR has got so much catching up to do.   I mean, there's no doubt AR's struggles are affecting MPJ, but MPJ has never been a great separater and seeing a defender right besides MPJ is probably stopping AR from throwing his way at this point.   Also, to be clear, I'm not saying AR will DEFINITELY be great, but I do think we DEFINITELY don't know yet and people need to be a lot more patient with him.
    • They both couldn’t throw or work on footwork. To ignore this could be a possibility with AR is naive. Let’s see where he is by game 7. Especially when it looks like he went backwards  from last season.
    • Other than the fact that Luck was a proven NFL QB in his prime and that his shoulder rehab lasted 3x as long.   
    • His lack of experience was a well-known risk in drafting him and it's a big reason why some were skeptical (including me). On the flip side, it sort of seemed like people disregarded his lack of experience then in favor of things like potential and upside. But now he's struggling and it's showing. If anything, it's validated those initial concerns.   I tend to think WR drops following a QB from college to the NFL says as much about the QB as it does the pass catchers. But they need to do better. I think it will take a combination of improvements from both AR and the pass catchers.   Not sure if something is up with MPJ, but some "regression" this year was very predictable. At one point, I actually thought he might leave in FA when faced with prospect of re-signing with a run-first team and a young QB who is still learning how to throw short and intermediate passes (the area he operates). But he stayed...and I am glad he did. But if it continues, there are going to be a lot of people blaming MPJ, which is pretty ridiculous, when you think about just 6 months ago, people were talking about how great of a contract it was and that MPJ was a legit WR1 with AR.  
    • Last week,Rams home game, Sofi looked like a 49ers home game. Dallas and Vegas are that way too.
