I can't believe there wasn't a midseason move to get another reciever for Mr. Collins.

Coach Fisher doesn't like to mess with team chemistry we will see how that works out

Meh, I say throw away a draft pick. It's worth the risk. Put it all into this year, otherwise you'll just keep coming up short. I'll be rooting for them though, I always like it when the less popular teams win.

The secondary sucks obviously, but I reckon there will be solid DBs in the 2nd and later rounds...

You reckon your guys can turn it around on the back half Christian? Colts still playoff bound?

We definitely are, we've already made it through the rough part of our schedule, and we still have home games vs. Cinci and Detriot so we've got 7 wins if all else fails, which it won't. Peyton has been off all year because of that knee so I don't know how I feel about us actually doing anything in the playoffs, but one thing is for sure, we're going to be more prepared for those grind-em-out close games than in years past because we've already had to come from behind so many times.

I think as of now the colts don't play a team with a winning record for the rest of the season so I consider them a lock for the Wild Card, assuming Tennessee doesn't slip.

Tennessee will though. The only reason they're undefeated is because they haven't played any of the really good teams.

Even as painful as this is for me to admit, Indy has no shot whatsoever at the division title, we'd have to win out and have Tennessee go 3-4 the rest of the way, and i just don't see either of those things happening. I think once we won our game last week at the Steelers that pretty much secured our place in the playoffs.
