I’m glad Nagy proved me right. He was my top choice for the Colts. Y’all got a good one and thankfully after almost making a mistake we did too.

This is going to be a wild playoffs. Legitimately any team in either conference could make the SB.

KC reminds me a lot of those high powered colts offenses that came up lame in the playoffs. Hopefully I am right and it’s the colts demonstrating.

Their defense kind of sucks. I mean, I don't have any stats to support that but it feels like they give up a lot of points for a supposed contender.

The AFC South was the only division with three teams above .500, and the one that wasn't made it to last year's AFC title game and gave the Colts their only loss in the last 10 games.

 

Maybe people will finally stop calling this the worst division in football. That's been the go-to narrative for non-Colts fans for the past decade.

To be fair it has been the worst division almost since Manning has been a Colt. Finally after years of high draft picks, it’s a strong division.

Jacksonville is only a quarterback away.

Mariotta and Watson seem like legit QBs.

A bit of a shaky win. Penalties were killers. I hope AV’s missed XP doesn’t linger over him in Houston.
GO COLTS!!!

FoxSports Cincy reporting Marvin Lewis out as Bengals head coach.

Was hoping that Eberflus wouldn’t be getting serious HC looks until after next year. But with so many openings, I think someone will take him this year. Good for him, not good for us.

Colts play the AFC West and the NFC South next year.  Including a game at Tampa Bay.  I'll host the tailgate, who's going?  No dates set yet.

Our road schedule is absolutely brutal next year. Only two of the 8 are against teams with losing records this year, Jags and Bucs

Guess Brown asked for a trade. Would be crazy if the Colts got him and Bell

besides the potential major attitude problems it sounds amazing.  seems like diva players in the NFL don't work out so well

Well, it's never their fault lol.  Pass on both.

I agree....I think. I would give AB more consideration than Bell due to a position of need but I'm not sure I'd give up what it will likely take to get him. Now if he goes for a 5th Rd pick or something crazy then maybe??????

It’s pretty telling what Ryan Clark (I think that’s his name) had to say about him. He’s a helluva talent but I’m not sure he would boost team chemistry

Crazy weekend of football.. Ravens pulled it out over the Browns, who I think are going to be really good if they can keep their core together. Baker Mayfield looks like the real deal. Gets the ball out so quickly. Hard to pressure him. Chubb and Njoku are legit too. I've got the Ravens winning at home and losing to the Patriots on the road.

Colts have been VERY impressive over the last 10 game stretch and I have them beating Houston... But winning a game at KC seems like a major mountain to climb for a team who is mediocre against the pass. The only "elite" QB they've seen all year was Brady who passed for 340 and 3 TD's. I've got the Colts losing a tight one in KC.

KC reminds me way too much of the 00s colts teams for me to have any faith in them.

Are you taking the Colts to win? I don't really compare the two teams. Mahomes is a completely different player than Manning.. Not saying KC is a lock for the Super Bowl. But if they lose, I think it's to the Patriots or potentially the Ravens in an AFC Championship game.

I looked at the Colt's schedule.. They haven't played a good offensive team since the Patriots in week 5. Since then you've got the Bills, Raiders, Jags, Titans, Dolphins, Cowboys, Giants, and Texans. The Texans are #15. The rest are in the bottom third of the league in terms of team offense. I'm not so sure they can go on the road, in cold weather, against this KC offensive juggernaut, and win.

Not sure I’d call the colts to win. But all offense and no defense most years is a recipe for a playoff loss
