Why? They and the Broncos are battling us for the no 1 seed. We're 4 games up on the Broncos.

I want the Chiefs OUT of the playoffs. The Patriots can win the 1 seed on their own, especially since this Colts team has a really tough rest of their schedule still.

 

[VectorPrime]

High ankle, at best.

I don’t know…if a good LT somehow slides to them I don’t hate moving Campbell to LG, Wilson to C, replace Onwenu with a FA. That isn’t awful.

Why would you move Campbell? Hes been great

I'd rather have the one game advantage over the Colts. The Chiefs aren't a threat to us unless we really crap the bed.

 

[Mack Herron]

Fingers crossed

I am not able to celebrate this win
We payied the highest possible price...

No, my friend. Opening game of the 2008 season was the highest possible price to pay for a win.

As I said Mankins played on a torn acl. We shall see.

Mankins was a freak of nature.

The only positive is an o-lineman will come back faster from an ACL surgery than a skill player because he doesn't have to make cuts or shifts that torques the knee ligaments. There is a good chance he will be back for training camp next year.

There's no LT good enough to replace Campbell.

 

[VJCPatriot]

Not a good sign. Oof. How long does Ben Brown have to play until Wilson is healthy again?

Running backs averaged 3.26 a carry today

Good lineman are expensive

I know all about Phyrrus. He won the battle but lost the war. We haven't lost the war yet.

Close, but no.

They are a threat to everyone. Even as a WC winner.

Today was still largely unimpressive on offense though. I've come to accept that the defense needs to be great in order to win.

The Colts are probably gonna lose another 3 games. They still play Houston TWICE.

 

[FCB02062]

We're going to be looking at some street FA on the left side during bye week

Notice he was smart and didn’t say “this year”. Everyone is a doctor, let’s wait for actual test results.

Fingers crossed

Maybe Campbell was just a sprained MCL. If so, that means worst case scenario would be him returning for the playoffs.

We never saw the injury. So we have no clue how bad it was. But based on how Campbell was carted off, I would assume it is more severe. But we have seen players look to have season ending injuries and carried off the field only to return in the game.
