Colts 2023 A Time To Change

[ChristianPatriot]

Jags signing a QB makes me think Lawrence may not be able to play against the Bucs.

Could they lose four in a row?

Colts actually have slightly better odds at making the 3-seed then the 5-seed.

I think the only real takeaway there is that the Colts have the highest probability of being a WC team rather than a division winner. The accuracy of the "analytics" is likely such that the difference between 5.5% and 6.6% is statistical noise.

With this Jekyll and Hyde team, I’m not sure what to expect. They look so good sometimes, then they don‘t. If the defense can do their thing, and Minshew can not fumble, they have a chance to make a run.

In any scenario, if the Colts win out and the Jags lose even one of their final 3 games, the Colts win the division. I don't see any particularly realistic scenarios that move an AFC South-winning Colts any higher than the 4 seed.

If the Jags win out, they win the division and the Colts must still fight for a WC. So, in that case, the Colts' playoff chances/seeding are best-improved if:

1. Week 16: Texans defeat the Browns (Browns 6 losses)
2. Week 18: Bengals defeat the Browns (Browns 7 losses)
3. Week 18: Dolphins defeat the Bills (Bills 7 losses)
4. Week 18: Chiefs defeat the Bengals (Bengals 7 losses)
5. Week 18: Colts defeat the Texans (Texans 7 losses)

Assuming the Colts win out, the above scenario puts the Colts ahead of all remaining Wild Card teams, at the 5 seed, as the only WC with 6 losses.

(And I'll remind: the real Colts record is now 9 - 5, and the real Browns record is 8 - 6. So the NFL is currently thoroughly screwing the Colts.)

I am so glad you analytical guys do these posts for me. I am a casual fan but when I go to work and talk turns to football, I am viewed as a guru! I like knowing all that stuff I just don't want to put the time in.

This week will lay out what direction the final push will be.

Playoff scenarios for Week 16 of the 2023 NFL season

No AFC teams have clinched a division title yet, but Week 16 could end with three of the conference's four divisions settled.

Steichen is NOT messing around with team accountability this year.

Steichen setting expectations and taking no **** from anyone. I like it. More than any other since the Manning era, this team deserves our full support.

So, now I understand why you are such a big Levis fan.

LOL, just kidding, but your setup was just too good to resist.

Nice article on AR's rehab in the Star today. Hopefully this MSN link will keep it from being paywalled:

Looking ahead a bit.

Colts have benefited from a relatively “easier” schedule this year. Now of course credit to them for playing who was in front of them and putting themselves into a position to make the playoffs. Curious to see how see they do next season.

AFC East
Bills, Dolphins, Patriots, Jets

NFC North
Packers, Bears, Vikings, Lions

Certainly a step up in the quarterbacks they’ll have to face.

Colts might be a better team next year and not get as many wins.

After your analysis both here and in the NASCAR Thread.

Levis not be so certain that your analysis is all that great, but you certainly do not Daly around when you offer it up!

Veteran wide-out if Pittman has to miss time?

Imagine what Steichen can do with a full season of Taylor and Richardson….

 

[ChristianPatriot]

Doing this with Gardner Minshew, Zack Moss, and a mixed bag at receiver/tight end is incredible.

Yes I do think we have an answer at coach

Okay, tomorrow is Wednesday. Come Thursday, we're gonna need you to start getting more pessimistic.
