Many things in this crazy thing called life can make us shiver and make us feel uncomfortable, spiders, scary movies, car insurance, etcetera. All the things that evoke an emotional response from us are there baked into our caveman brains as a defense/survival mechanism. Some of the things that made me shiver? My wife telling me she was pregnant with our oldest daughter. The thought of me being a father and being responsible for another life (when I could barely manage my own) was horrifying. The “Obi-Wan never told you” speech from the Empire Strikes Back, the movie the Crying Game (if you haven’t seen it DON’T) and the impending thought that the Colts are going to be in a must win and in scenario and the Jaguars are going to roll into Indianapolis and post 38 up on us with a 3rd string quarterback, that was working at Home Depot up until March, and knock us out of the playoffs. Terrifying.
This Colts team is loaded with Talent. They just keep finding ways to lose every Sunday. Back in the old timey days before the interwebs and color TV, we referred to the Colts as Count On Losing This Sunday. Almost every game this team just finds a way to shit the bed no matter how strong they started or looked. Even the games they’ve won they had almost given away. Our largest victory has been by 5 measly points. Most were by 1 to 3 points that went down to the last second. If not for Father Time blowing that whistle, our win total wouldn’t even be 6. We had Denver right where we wanted them and then the Broncos popped 24 unanswered points on us to embarrass us at Mile High. And just like that, our playoff chances went from 60% down to 14%. Fourteen is being generous. That is assuming that the Colts win their last three games this season. Newsflash! We haven’t won three games back to back all year.
For the Colts to make the playoffs it is going to be more difficult than an abstract algebraic equation while high on fluorocarbons! As mentioned above the Colts need to win their last three games against the Flaming Thumbtacks, the Eli Manningless Giants and the dreaded Jaguars. On paper it is achievable, but need I remind you this team just finds ways to lose. Even if this team pulls out the three wins there are other obstacles in their way. On top of winning out, the Colts would need the Broncos to lose one of their two remaining games, and then and only then Chris Ballard would have to kill a live chicken in front of the team and spread its blood around the locker room floor in a macabre horseshoe shape. They could also get in by the Ravens losing all three of their remaining games, but my money is on the chicken.
