@w87ris it a weird situation where everyone is tied is assured to get in. So winning out may not matter.

Colts win out they are in unless something weird happens and they end up in a two way tie with bengals. I doubt that will happen.

Man, today was nearly the perfect opportunity for us. This team just cannot get it together when opportunity knocks. 
 

Feels like 2021 all over again. 

That’s because they have a backup QB and they are an average team that has overachieved. What’s discounting is their highest paid players are not making plays when they should be the stars on the team. 

I hate to say it too Grover bring back hurts the pass rush because it takes Dayo off the field.

I’m not looking forward to facing Stroud.  He could pick us apart.

That's what I'm saying I have read somewhere where everyone could win out and still not make the playoffs.

True. It’s what it is, the position we put ourselves in

That can’t happen. Colts have the tie breakers with multiple teams tied.

Only thing giving me hope is that defense isn’t really good. Can we sign TY just for that game. 😂

Game in Miami delayed with 2 minutes and dolphins at Dallas 33. It’s back. Looks like dolphins might take lead.

Why was it delayed

Not sure. Maybe it was my phone and a glitch.

That won’t come into play unless there is only a two way tie for the last spot. There will probably be multiple teams with same record.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Hopefully pats can end broncos tonight. I don’t expect it though.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

What happens if colts are 9-7 and Texans are 9-8 going into week 18. Who would get the wildcard if Texans win? Head to head would be even.

I hope so also. But say they can't and there is a 5 way tie with teams making the playoffs and all 5 teams win out?

There is a complicated formula. There are multiple things that go into it when there is a 3 or more tie. Has to do with conference division. Standing ect.

Yes I know that. I'm saying what if there's a 5 way tie? Does Cincy make it over the Colts?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Right now Cincy is still behind colts. Someone would have to dig into it. My guess is no if colts win last two they would be ahead because of conference record. Bengals still have chiefs and browns.

I don’t see Grover being back next year. I think they go a different direction. You cannot get suspended for ped’s for a third of the season in a contract year. The run defense needs more than just Big Grove back. 
 

I honestly don’t see Kenny Moore back either.
 

We may see big changes.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Wrong thread.

I know but it's hard to say wins are guaranteed and it could be a 5 way tie. Just asking if it does happen how does that play out for the Colts.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Trevor sounded like he was in a lot of pain after the game today. Something to monitor next week.

5 way tie will not put bengals in over colts. Colts are actually in a good position with tie breakers as long as it’s 3 or more.

Okay I was just wondering. If there is a five way tie it worries me. Lol

You just don’t want a two way tie with bengals and colts. I doubt that happens.

 

[EasyE]

I thought tie breaker goes with conference wins?

Yes but I'm asking about a 5 way tie. I hope colts can win out. But I read something strange that it could not matter if all other teams win out.

Just know 3 or more teams tied if colts win out has them in good shape.

What lol. What would be colts and Texans division and conference  records. That’s probably the answer.

Wild start. NE turned it over and broncos went for it on fourth at goal line and failed.

Yes but did you know everyone but Browns at #5 seed has 5 or more AFC losses??? Colts have only 4 losses.

 

So if we win out, guess what, we best every single one of them with JUST 4 AFC losses.

If we had to lose one of our final 3, the Falcons game was the one to lose.  I doubt Cincy beats KC next week.  If the three AFC South contenders are 9-7 after next weekend, then I believe the Colts/Texans won't be flexed to the Sat games or Sun night.  The Colts/Texans and Jags/Titans games will be in the same time slot on Sun Jan 7th - either 1pm or 4:25pm - in order to keep the drama going for the division title.  SNF on 1/7 is shaping up to be Buff/Mia.

Very accurate on the Tua/Allen SNF leaning, very likely. For that to happen, Ravens need to take care of the Dolphins, which is likely.

edit:

Could the final AFC South standings between the Indianapolis Colts and Houston Texans yet be decided by the flip of a coin rather than on the field?

Funny that all the AFCS teams are getting ripped after today. Texans not so much because they didn’t have stroud but jags and colts getting ripped.
