  • Here is all the shit that must happen for the Colts to make playoffs:

    Indianapolis clinches AFC South division with:

    1. IND win + HOU loss + IND ties HOU in strength of victory tiebreaker and clinches strength of schedule tiebreaker over HOU.

    Note: IND ties HOU in strength of victory tiebreaker and clinches strength of schedule tiebreaker over HOU if BOTH of the following occurs:

    1. All of the following teams win: ATL, BAL, BUF, DEN, MIA.

    2. OAK win or tie + PIT win or tie as long as both teams don't tie.

    If Houston and Indianapolis end up tied in strength of victory and tied in strength of schedule, the teams would then go to the next tiebreaker, which is best combined ranking among AFC teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.

    That's a zillion to one against happening- a mathematical chance. Texans beat Jags- the rest doesn't matter. Will the Ratbirds beat the Bengals? Fish beat the Patsies? Raiders beat the Chiefs on the road?

    Now it would be sweet if it does happen- payback for the "Suck for Luck" scenario. Playoff teams get poorer draft position than otherwise.

  • Doesn't anyone want the Browns to help knock out the Steelers? If we beat Pittsburgh there's a chance they stay home! Can't we beat them at least once this year?

    DAMN THE TORPEDOES! FULL SPEED AHEAD!

    I'm counting on it. Browns Super Bowl. It's not a chance- Pittsburgh loss = out of playoffs, regardless of what else happens.

  • Colts won't win with Josh Freeman or anyone else for that matter. They lose! And maybe the Browns can beat the Steelers and knock them out too!

    Yes.....the Jets and Chiefs certainly want the Browns to beat Pitt. If Browns beat Pitt, then Jets could even lose and get the WC spot.

    KC, while having clinched a WC spot....would still like to see Pitt lose....as if Jets lose, Chiefs lose and Steelers win, Steelers, I believe get the #5 spot....puching KC down to #6.

    The #5 spot team likely gets to go on the road to Houston for the game. The #6 team would have to go to either Cinci or Denver for their game. Houston seems to be the easier game to have a chance to win.

    Same in NFC....Redskins are at #4. to play the #5 team. Whomever: Seattle/Minn./GB would rather take a crack at the Redskins I should expect than to go to either Minn. or Green Bay.

    Against the Titans? Even with Josh Freeman the Colts could probably take the Titans.
