We will see how that goes for us next week.

This season has been going so well, it is hard to believe.

What if we went 15-1?

I wouldn't believe it.

I don't know if the Colts organization was in on it, but we're talking about keeping 50 some guys on page for 17 greuling weeks.


I think there was a point in the season where a few guys said F@$-it, we're not going to win. Then the next week it was a couple of other guys. The week after another bunch.

That's why they had to get rid of the coaching staff, he couldn't keep that under control.

I just want the #1 seed.

All I want, so we can get to the super bowl.

I don't want to play in Foxboro for the AFC Championship.

Or in Denver or Baltimore. I'm with you. They've come this far, it would be tragic to lose the home field advantage at this point.

Ha! I'm sure in your excitement, you got mixed up. Steelers win. Texans now have a 2 game lead for AFC title with 4 games to go.

Stakes getting even higher with such success.

Not the AFC Title. Just Home Filed Advantage.

Right, my mistake. Best record in AFC isn't AFC title.

No worries. I get the excitement. I was cheering for the Steelers like the Texans were playing.

This may be the first time (other than against Bud's Duds) that I'm glad Pittsburgh won....

Actually we have a 3 game lead over Denver and Baltimore. They both have to have a better record than us because of the head to head factor.

With the one exception of a 3 or 4 way tie at 13-3 which if we've lost to New England would mean we would go to the next tie-breaker.

So basically we beat NE and have clinched the AFC 3 weeks before the season ends, right?

No, if we lost out after that game and any of the others won out then they would leap frog us by virtue of overall record

We need them to lose one more each OR, beat Pat and win one more

Well, if we beat New England the best they could do would be 12-4 so even if we lost out we'd have beaten them so we own the tie-breaker.

Denver and Baltimore play each other in 2 weeks so one of those teams will have another loss and could at best be 12-4 with a loss to us so we own the tie-breaker on that team.

If the other team out of Denver or Baltimore wins out and we lose our last 3 after beating New England than we would end up with the 2nd seed.

We still would need 1 more win.
