If Jags aren’t careful they are gonna ruin him by rushing him back from every injury. He hasn’t looked good in a few weeks and it’s probably because he has so many lingering injuries. Hope they figure it out before he’s the next Luck.

I don’t understand how though. He only had a limited practice, rules say he has to have a limited and a full practice then clear with the independent dr

I don’t get it either. He had one limited practice.

This whole concussion process seems to be evolving...

I remember posting a while back, how it was almost a certainty, that after a concussion, that player would have to miss the following game. Now it's like in the majority of cases, they are back in action just in time for the next game.

I am wondering if earlier in season teams were just sitting players a game although they can clear. Now at the end of season with everything on the line they are not.

Colts  will move to six temporarily if Steelers can win this game. At least until tomorrow.

Seems that way but then we have Stroud now missing two games in a row.  The Lawrence thing is really puzzling.  I guess the rules aren’t out there her after all.  He apparently has cleared with very little practice.

100% not happening in the majority of cases. 
 

Extreme majority of the time, a concussion on Sunday has meant missing the next week’s game. 
 

Recent examples have involved an injury on Thursday (Watt) or Saturday(Pittman) and cleared the following week. The extra day or two makes a difference. 

[Old Man and the COLTS]

Go Steelers (I feel dirty)

[cbear]

Does it matter who wins Pitt vs cinny? 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

If Colts would happen to lose tomorrow and Steelers win this game Steelers would be ahead of bengals in the division. Would  this effect anything with the head to head with colts and Steelers. I mean wouldn’t that put  Bengals ahead of colts in the standings. Steelers would have tie breaker over bengals and bengals have the head to head over colts.

We need Steelers to win. Colts will move to 6 temporarily if they do.

It looks like Browning has come back to earth Oh those back up QBs

It may just depend on the severity of each as well.

Not surprised 

Steelers destroying Bengals. What’s that gonna do for the playoff race?

[rockywoj]

If Steelers hold on for the win over the Bengals, great result for the Colts.

 

Sure hope the Chargers can pull off the upset vs the Bills.

Drat.  I thought he had emerged ok out of the protocols.  Welp, next week.  In the meantime, receivers have to pick up the slack.  I’m thinking, especially Pierce and the TEs.

[indyagent17]

Pittsburgh is pounding Cincinnati so we could have a shot at the 6th seed win a win tomorrow 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Colts will move to 6 until Bills win. Then back to 7 until tomorrows game.

When Bills win tonight we will move back to 7 until we play tomorrow. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Jags play after colts tomorrow. So a colts win will have them at four for a few hours at least.

 

Colts are now 6th but will move back to 7 when bills win. I do not expect bills to lose.

Zero chance they lose to the chargers

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

At least for a few hours.

I want to see us win out, but it looks like tomorrow is the game to lose of the 3 left, if we had to choose. Much more important to win the two conference games. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Broncos schedule looks easy. Bills have to play dolphins but I see them winning. Colds  can’t afford to lose because broncos and Bills are right there. Would be huge if Miami beat cowboys tomorrow.

if we lose tomorrow, but win the last two weeks, how would the broncos leap us if they win out? We have less conference losses. 

[FloridaColtsFan]

I’ll be hoarse after being loud at “The Benz” tomorrow. I’ll be such a happy camper on the drive home if they win.

Looking forward to seeing Heinicke punished tomorrow. 💪

[JediXMan]

If the Bills sneak in and get the 7th they could face the Chiefs again. Seems like those teams are always destined to play each other.

Just showing the score not counting chicken Maybe the new coach injection of energy is a real thing

[Old Man and the COLTS]

And there goes the charger’s lead 

14- 10 Bills 

 

they went back to a heavy run play calling like last week

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The dolphins cowboys game is interesting tomorrow. Cowboys have trouble in the road and dolphins have trouble beating good teams. Something will give.

Dolphins ain't beating the Ravens on the road even if they beat the Cowboys at home tomorrow. 

 

Bills facing Dolphins on the road for the last game most likely with Dolphins at 11-5 and Bills at 10-6, for the division title. If Bills win the AFC East, they are #3 or #4 seed. I can definitely see them beating the Dolphins on the road.

One of the huge reasons colts  can’t lose another game is dolphins finishing with 6 losses but losing the division.
