Ouch (for Indy anyway...lol). edit - I guess the rules might be changing to 5 days, so we’ll see. He could be back sooner.

Scott7975 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Wow. Sucks for them. Wentz is kind of dog crap but I dont think their backup QB has even thrown an NFL pass yet. This could shake things up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 That gives the Raiders a shot Sunday. The Raiders are 1-7 when they score 16 points or fewer, and 7-0 when they score 17 points or more. The question I have is can the Raiders do enough offensively to put 17 points on the board?

But agree, will have to wait and see what NFL rule changes might be coming in advance of playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChans Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Maybe this is a hot take but I think the Colts are probably the team I’d pick to win in the AFC if everyone lost their starting QB.

Taro Nimbus Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Colts still have Taylor running the ball. All the gotta do is manage the game at QB and they’ll be just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that means there’s a chance Gabe Davis could be back for the Atlanta game (assuming he’s symptom-free in time). That would be a nice boost for the offense!

Not saying this isn’t a blow, but I don’t expect them to look like the Ian Book Saints now. Their offense runs through Taylor. Wentz is pretty avg but I would expect some impact still. Maybe not Saints bad because of Taylor but some impact none the less if the backup cant throw some play action passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) If the Colts lose against the Raiders it is much more likely we play the Colts in the wildcard round which is the one scenario I'm really hoping to avoid. Hopefully they get their o-linemen back and find a way to win this one. Otherwise we'll be big Raiders fans against the Chargers next week. If the Raiders win out we are likely to face them.

Process Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 For those who are hoping to avoid the colds in round one, is this actually bad? I would think we want them as the five seed since we are likely to be three. Does it make Raiders vs Bills a decent possibility if they beat the Colts or still a long shot? What a gift that would be.

If you are keying on the Colts passing game in any situation besides third and long you shouldn’t be a DC. 1 minute ago, ColoradoBills said: I don't know about a "hot take" but it seems you are trolling. You put Sam Ehlinger or Brett Hundley beating Trubisky? You can’t have it both ways. Our team MVP is very obviously Josh. Theirs is Taylor. Losing our MVP would be a bigger blow than losing Carson Wentz who is a passenger in that offense for the most part. So yes. If it was Sam vs Mitch in the playoffs, I would be REALLY NERVOUS.

I just played around with the playoff machine and honestly it's useless to even try and predict anything. I thought I knew who to root for this weekend but the seeding is going to be dependent on so many different matchups. There's even a couple realistic scenarios I found where we are the 2 seed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterStrategist Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Wentz is the 2nd to last QB that I'd want starting, from the current AFC playoff teams. But, he's still "average" to slightly above average with the way teams have to defend Indys run game. Wentz is very good at getting them into the right play at the line. The drop-off to Ehlinger will be significant. I haven't looked at tiebreaker, but would expect Vegas gives them a great game and potentially a loss.

There are actually a lot of scenarios where we wouldnt play the Colts. I dont want to play them either but there is still a lot of stuff up in the air in the AFC.

There is no way for us to get the 2 seed without the Titans losing to both the dolphins and Texans, correct? I don't see that as very realistic.

Wentz isn't a franchise QB but he is an NFL seasoned QB. He has 25 TDs and 6 INTs so far this season. With a rookie who hasn't thrown a pass yet teams will 100% key on the running game IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see that as very realistic. I think that is correct. Titans win one game they would be 11-6. Bills win both they are 11-6. Titans have the tie breaker. There are also scenarios where even if the Bills win out they end up the 4th seed not the 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
