Colts 2021 Nunc Coepi

Well, yes on the no sacks, but only because of the defensive holding call on the play. But still a great game. And no weird "shovel pass flick things".

Wentz, like most QBs, plays best when he doesn’t have to be Superman.

True. And the whole team, all aspects, seemed to be hitting on all cylinders today.

I was thinking how odd it was hearing our O-line being praised the way they were today. That sure hasn't always been the case! But the commentators mentioned how even though the defense knew we were going to run the ball, we were still able to run the ball, pretty much at will. Not just today either.

We had visitors and some business to attend to so I heard we won when the spouse checked scores.

Can’t remember the last time we dominated a really good team.

It’s gonna be hard not to be discouraged if we lose to the Bucs next week, but the AFC games (Pats, Raiders, Texans, Jags) are way more important.

I have no expectations pro or con as to the playoffs. If we do make it we wont go far but to even make it this year would be special.

The Colts get an extra day of off and tomorrow night we shall see if the Bucs have righted their ship…

LV sure fell today.

Actually saw somewhere one analytical website has the Colts at like a 75% chance to make the postseason. I checked around a couple places and we pretty consistently have around the 6th best odds.

They’re going to have a short week plus an away game.

I would really like to see their efforts come to a positive in this roller coaster season but I am not setting myself up for another disappointment....

They seem to be coming into their own as they hang on by a thread. As usual.....

Ok so on to the Bucs. If the Colts can win that they can be well on their way to the wildcard round and the team on the field yesterday can win in the playoffs. The way I can see it playing out is if they beat the Bucs, they can lose to the Pats, my current pick to win the AFC bye, and the hot Cards, winners of the NFC bye, win the rest, and finish 9-8.

What do you think?

I don’t think 9-8 gets us a spot. Gotta find a way to get to 10-7 with as many AFC wins as possible.

Short list

Peter King thinks the Colts-Pats game gets moved to Saturday prime time.

“I think one of those games, against Carolina, is part of an intriguing decision the NFL has to make, and will make as soon as today. The NFL has a doubleheader on NFL Network on Saturday, Dec. 18, with games at 4:30 p.m. and 8:15 p.m. The league has chosen five games to be in limbo that weekend, with two moved to that Saturday slot and three played on Sunday. I’d guess it’s unlikely that Jets-Miami and WFT-Philadelphia will be part of the standalone Saturday twinbill. The other three games, I’d guess, are the best candidates: New England-Indianapolis (the favorite), Las Vegas-Cleveland and Carolina-Buffalo. I’d guess the revived Patriots in primetime is an offer the NFL can’t refuse. Stay tuned for that call.”

So the Ravens, Pats, Titans, and Chiefs are division winners.

Leaving the Colts to compete with the Bengals, Chargers, Bills, Steelers, Browns for three spots.

The Bengals schedule seems daunting with most games against other AFC teams in or fighting for the playoffs. Chiefs, and Ravens, then Steelers, Browns, Chargers, and 49’ers.

The Chargers seem to have a pretty easy schedule here on out.

The Bills have similarly tough schedule to the Colts. They play the Pats twice, Saints, and Bucs.

The reeling Steelers have a tough road including the Ravens twice, Chiefs, and Titans.

The browns have back to back Ravens games, Packers, and other teams fighting for the wildcard spots.

A silver lining for the Colts is every team but the Chargers has a tough schedule and the AFC north seems set to beat each other up pretty bad, it is good we are not in that fray.

I believe a team 9-8 will get in as a wild card, now whether it is the Colts is another question…

Boo!

Boo!

You can’t watch a Saturday night game either?

Not without being wiped out the next day. I'm a creature of habit.
