Even with that, as a Colts fan I think they are the 2nd toughest team in the AFC that i'd want to play.
San Diego
New England
Baltimore
Cincinnati
Those are the 4 in order that I think would be toughest for Indy.
New England @ San Diego in round 2 would be nice (well 6 beating 3 would be nice but I don't see it unless Baltimore finishes 6th).
I still think Pittsburgh if they have Polamalu at any semblance of health can threaten the Colts.
But I have to agree with Moon in that the Patriots can look great one game, maybe 2, but so far this year can't put three good ones together.
Really you can punch the Colts ticket to the AFC Championship game, they'll be up against Cinci, Denver, or Baltimore in their playoff game with a bye and they'll crush any of those teams. They just hope Pittsburgh doesn't luck out and get the 6 seed.

You'd have to think that would be the game they'd put in there. The only other games with huge playoff implications that weekend are Green Bay @ Arizona, New York @ Minnesota, and Pittsburgh @ Miami.
Please keep the Vikings away from Sunday night.

Yeah Pittsburgh would be #3 if they manage to get in. I just don't think they will due to tiebreakers.

Jake Long? Really? I'm a huge Dolphins fan, but Pro Bowlers don't get pancaked for half a season before getting their act together.
LOL Jake Long has been awesome ever since game 3. His worst game was the first one of the season. You obviously don't watch as much dolphins football as I do. He is one of the best left tackles in the league.

I thought i'd post the FINAL pro bowl results! T
Bryant McKinnie, Vikings 379,885
Wasn't it McKinnie who got absolutely embarrassed Sunday night by Peppers? Not to say he doe not deserve to go to the Pro Bowl as I don't watch enough Viking games, but man he was manhandled that night.
Another good piece of news is that Anthony Gonzalez has a chance at playing this week after being hurt in week 1. It will give the offense some chemistry before going into the playoffs.

Thats great news on both fronts! It's obvious to me that Peyton wants to play these last two games full out and as much as he seems to respect Caldwell if Peyton wants to play he's gonna play.
Gonzalez coming back in any shape or form could help this offence a ton. As much as Collie and Garcon have had strong seasons, Gonzalez has much better hands then the both of them. This Colts offence could get even scarier!
Being able to throw out 5 WR Packages with Garcon Wayne Collie Gonzalez Clark and then a healthy Donald Brown in the backfield splitting time with Addai.
Broncos clinch a playoff spot with a win + losses by JAC, MIA, NYJ and PIT
This isn't all that crazy. If the Broncos can find a way to get by Philly (tall order) I could certainly see those 4 teams losing, though I think Miami will win.

I don't think it's that tall of an order. Kyle Orton always seems to bring his "A" game when he plays the Eagles. I also don't like the Scheffler vs. "whoever is playing MLB for the Eagles this week" match-up.
EDIT: Dumervil vs. Jason Peters scares me too.
