Just worry about what you can control...beat Miami and let the rest fall where it may.

resting starters is the Colts way.

And the Chiefs have no offense to be competitive against DEN for even a quarter

The Colts have a proud tradition of quitting games (even with a perfect season on the line) and even an entire season, I don't expect anything to change. So Pagano is going to come back and most likely lose the last regular game as well as the playoff game, bringing his record with the team to 1-4. That will be just great for team spirit...

The Chiefs are awful.

The #1 seed for the taking but we didn't play well enough for.

Correct. It's that simple.

Exactly......in a roundabout way..it might be good, that because we do have such a young team, that this team will have to go on the road. They still have a veteran player influence to help the younger players along...but now they know that winning every game in the regular season is important for the playoff seeding....just like my sig. tagline states...had they not missed a FG...had not blown 4th quarter leads twice and didn't have a 62 yard KO return after coming back from 28 down...things might be different....but they didn't..they are what they are....just go out and win..it matters not who the opponent is or where we play......even though I paid for my playoff tickets already and could have used that 9 bills for xmas shopping...lol

Hopefully Pagano takes a lesson from Tom Coughlin, who was also locked in at the #5 and had nothing to play for but pride and to use the game as a measuring stick. And it worked out perfectly since they won the Super Bowl. Luck is hot, don't force him to cool off on the bench!

Would love to see both Houston and Denver lose next week coupled with a Pats win makes for a 3-way tie. But since the Pats beat both of them head to head, they end up #1 seed. ^_^
