Win on Sunday and we face the Colts (unless there are a ridiculous series of results)

[Dagmar]

I think they are beatable...

[broncosteven]

No, A win on Sunday and the Colts face US!

[spdirty]

and they get a week off.

[DLifer]

More beatable than they were the last two times we faced them in the playoffs. The way Jacksonville ran over them for most of the last drive reminded me of the Denver defense. Cutler brings his A game (which he will) and we'll win a shootout. I'd rather see Indy come to town than Pittsburgh.

don't we have a shot at the #3 seed?

[yerner]

does anybody really expect us to win a game in the playoffs? it would still be a good season.

if we win out, have at least the same record as the jets, and the jets win their division.

jets, phins, and pats right now are 9-5, so they all have to lose at least 1 of the next 2. Not likely, even if we win out.

we do, but its pretty remote..........

We would need:

1. the Jets to lose vs seattle this week
2. The jets to win week 17 against miami
3. We would have to win both games.
3b. (I think NE would have to lose one to)

The jets are a game up on us.......we need them to win the division and have an even record with us for that to happen........problem is if they win this weekend, we cant catch them because if they lose the following week miami/ne would win the division and they have the tie breakers over us.

yeah but the jets and miami play eachother, so they have to lose this week against seattle and miami has to lose against KC i believe.

although i think if the colts lose next week, balt wins sat and next week we would play balt.

Nope 1 and 2 gets the bye. Indy clinched the 5th seed. Denver gets the 4th if they get in. 3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5. No matter what its the Colts.

[Popps]

The good news about playing the Colts would be that we get to face our demons right away.

The bad news would be... that we get to face our demons right away.

ah ok..... i thought balt could get 5 somehow.....my bad

[Dagmar]

Maybe we can find the answer to our running game over the next two weeks?

Win on Sunday then the game against SD can be try outs for our remaining backs?

[Cosmo]

So no matter the Colts record, we still get a them at home, right?

Yes, division winners all play at home.

[Malcontent]

It'll be the Colts, and Manning will kill again. But JC will match him pass for pass, and it will come down to the last possession. Who will own the ball on said last possession is the question?

[KCStud]

Colts are a team nobody wants to play in the playoffs. They are the hottest team in the NFL. 8 wins in a row and they have a bye week next week. Baltimore is the weakest link. Rookie QB playing on the road helps any team.

[cabronco]

I would like our chances so much better with Hillis. I would like our chances 10times better w/ Hillis and half a good defense.

[Malcontent]

If we both lose, then we still own the tiebreaker and get in right??

[BigPlayShay]

Jags looked a lot like us tonight. I really feel like they would have won had they not turned the ball over (pick 6).

[bpc]

If we play INDY, the odds will be stacked against us. It would be the best possible scenario for us to win a playoff game though. No team is going to rouse the anger of the fans and get our young team pumped up like Indy will. We can throw on them and they are basically one dimensional on offense as well.

I just hope we make the playoffs. We can worry about playing Indy or whomever later.

That's an excellent way to put it!

Did you watch Peyton Manning tonight? And Jacksonville's D is a lot stiffer than ours is.

The only JC with a remote chance of matching him pass for pass is the one who's birthday is on the 25th.

i think this might be the best time we could play them. they aren't as explosive on offense as they used to be, and we are more explosive on offense than we used to be.
I predict a shootout, and whoever has the ball last will win.
