We Can't Play Like We Have a Cushion

[BourbonBalz]

The Colts are still playing for a potential bye. As long as those odds are, it's there.

Realistically the Colts have next to no shot at a bye. Neither New England nor Denver are going to lose out. Is it possible? Yea, but the chance is about zero. Those two teams know they need to win to secure a bye and won't relax. The only thing the Colts realistically have on the line is the 3/4 seed, which really makes no difference. You're either going to Denver or New England if you win. I don't see much difference.

If I was the colts I would rather play Denver. Denver has a better chance of losing there home playoff game then the patriots. manning just does not look the same as he did early in the season and there defense is just above average. colts played Denver early this year and gave them a good game in the first half.

Got it. And yes they could potentially get a bye however I truly believe a large % of teams that make the dance have a tendency to mentally let down the next week knowing their in.
Even if the colts play hard, I just think we'll wear them down. I don't expect a blow out but if we take care of the ball, We win.

Cowboys must continue to march to the mantra "the playoffs have already started".
Stomp a mud hole in the Colts and lets stomp it dry!!!!

Agree. Like the simple way the team is approaching this and looking forward to them delivering today...
