Reggie is Reggie but I've been impressed with the other young guys on offense. Hilton, Fleener, Allen, and Brown have all played well. I think a big acquisition for the Colts that went under the radar on offense this year was Donnie Avery. He has had some big games at reciever.
I wonder what record will be needed to make the playoffs. 10-6? Colts have 4 games left on their schedule that they should win. So just steal 1 of the remaining 4 I suppose if they can go 4/4 on the games they should win.

Any team with a 9-7 record should make the playoffs this year in the AFC. Look at the records of the teams right now, look at their schedules, and tell me if you see anyone outside of Pittsburgh, Baltimore, New England, Denver, Houston as being able to put up 10 wins this year. San Diego, Indy, and Miami are the only teams who have a realistic shot at 9 wins, and I don't think more than 1 of those teams will do so.
At this point in the season any 3-5 team would have to finish 6-3 to get to 9 wins. Non of the 3 win teams in the AFC look remotely close to being able to do that, moreso if you look at teams they still have to play.
