Just one more dagum reason to avenge the playoff loss from last year. Oh and a Jags loss could help us get the 1 seed if the Patriots lose.

Please Santa, i don’t want any presents this year..this is all i want for christmas

Just was looking through scenarios and came here to see if anyone noticed that.
We have to return the favor and keep Phil’s run alive. Forget the 1 seed, I wanna see the two Chargers QBs I’ve watched my whole life in the playoffs together
The Colts’ defense is gonna have to play a helluva lot better if they want any kind of chance. That was a putrid display.
This would be the ultimate back scratcher situation. Jags get beat, texans get beat, then colts have an in and we have the opportunity at the 1st overall…. This is the way
“Just let it go bro, let it go. And just walk away”

Indy needs the Goku spirit bomb to get into the playoffs 🤣🤣
And if that happens, and the Chargers beat the Broncos, then we could end up with #2 Chargers vs. #7 Colts in the playoffs.
Can you repeat that for me?

I’m really puzzled why the commentators (and fans) were talking as if the Colts had no shot to make the playoffs. It’s simple:
– Chargers beat Texans
– Colts win out
After that, it goes to like the 3rd or 4th tiebreaker which is strength of schedule I believe. Right now the Colts have like a 2% edge.
ALSO: this Colts loss essentially guarantees the colts won’t face the Chargers in the playoffs. It’d suck seeing the bolts send Rivers home in a playoff game (and vice versa ofc)
He did us a favor, now let’s do him a favor …
“We’re on to Houston next week” is all I give a fuck about.
Do it for the Rivers. I love watching that guy play, unreal story.
It’s not quite as simple as that, the Colts would also need to end up with a better strength of victory to win the tie breaker over the Texans
The ship has sailed for Colts man idgaf who their qb is I’ll never root for another AFC team
Love me some Phil but yeah damn its game over in Indy
Chiefs also have to lose out for the Colts to get in with tie breaks. According to my playoff odds calculator sleuthing
That’s a huge “if” for a Colts team that got utterly dogwalked on defense by the 9ers, but it’s technically possible.
Shoot, let’s give it a shot.
i gotta say, it’s so fucking cool to see uncle phil all over this subreddit in 2025. What wild times we are witnessing.
Honestly feels like Déjà vu watching Phil right now on a team with a shitty defense haha
