And see what happens, We should run the table if we win in Miami.. Win the division and hope we get the bye... I think playing in San Diego would be more of a death not than playing in Indy... We dont match up well with San Diego... If some how we get to 12-4 and the bye, then we could see what happens...

We going to take it one game at a time

Right on. As bad as we all feel today and as critical we are of the mistakes, there is still a ways to go. Win out, take the division and then see what happens in the playoffs. Still a chance to make something of this season.

Yeah, let's see. But, this reminds me of 2005 I believe, when we simply could not beat good teams.

Once the playoffs start, it's a whole new season. Just look at some of the recent Super Bowl champions. The '05 Steelers were 11-5 and got in as the sixth seed. They were destroyed by Indy late in the season, and had a 3 game losing streak going at one point. But they got hot late, got in the playoffs, knocked off the top 3 seeds, and won the Super Bowl. They played their best football at the best time. The '07 Giants are another example. They suffered numerous ugly losses, including a 41-17 loss to Minnesota and defeats to the NFC & AFC's top teams (Packers, Cowboys, Patriots) all season long. But they, like the Steelers, got hot late in the season and were able to run the table in the playoffs. Now, the Patriots' outlook for the playoffs is actually better than both of those teams, because they'll likely win their division and have at least one home game. It was about this time last year that the Pats turned it on and won out. Playing at their best late in the season is a trademark of the Belichick/Brady Pats teams. Going by history, you just can't count them out, no matter how bad they looked last night. Let's see how things play out. A lot of the recent Super Bowl participants aren't the teams people think will be there even as far as week 13 in the season.

I can't believe that I am now worried about the Fins this week.

They saw how Brady can be pressured, it is a short week for us, and on top it we are the road to a place where Brady always has problems.

So, irrespective of someone coming up with an astounding stat that BB and TB have never lost two in a row for the last 10,000 years, count me among those hoping, nay, praying, that we get a W against the Fins.

SD needs to lose 2. We get past Cincy with a 12-4 record.

SD losing 2 is probably a 30-50% chance.

So, if we win out, those are our chances of getting the bye.

Bottom line this is not a championship defense. Making it to the playoffs and losing in the divisional round is not my idea of a good season. I fyou cant win the big one then who cares about the playoffs

Offense is one dimensional and the secondary makes ordinary qb's look like Manning.

Drafting the past couple of years has been crap. BB needs to stop trading down and use the picks to trade up and get some talent.

i dont seethis team beating SD or indy on the road.just my opinion. Like 2003...the colts lost on the goal line stand and then went on to win all their games and cameto foxboro. Everyone predicted that this time manning will beat the pats but didnt happen. Roles are reversed now. We lose a tight one in indy. will run the table maybe with avg teams and everyone will get psyched up again.
Indy's D is a lot better than ours because of their pass rush and our D isnt going to get great overnight and our offense has only 2-3 playmakers unlike indy where garcon and collie are catching TDs.
We havent even spoken of SD yet who are probably playing as good as anyone right now.

SVN

i think we need to win ours first. there is no gurantee there with just 2 home games left.
