Another loss, another blow to the Colts playoff hopes that currently sit on life support. At 4-7-1 and holding the tenth best record in the AFC the Colts are squarely on the outside looking in.
One good quarter not enough for the Colts (4-7-1).
That is all but the fatal blow to whatever fading playoff hopes the Colts had. Very good for draft position though!
Passing offense continues to be broken. Can’t overcome that in today’s NFL.

Unfortunately, with five games left on the schedule the Colts IN THEORY still have chance to squeak in to the post season. Per the New York Times playoff simulator they still have a 2% chance to make the playoffs, but it would take them winning out and getting a ton of help along the way.
So there’s still hope right? Perhaps the schedule gets easier?
I mean they only play *checks notes* the Cowboys on the road this week and then they still have to play *checks notes again* the Vikings, Chargers, Giants and Texans.
Five games left and four of their five games are against potential playoff teams? Remember how I said the playoff hopes were on life support? It’s time to pull the plug.
That’s tough for any Colts fan to hear, and if you want to root for meaningless wins more power to you, but all that really matters now is gaining the best draft pick possible in 2023.
It’s time. Mock Draft 1.0 🚨
🔷Panthers, Colts get their QB

🔷Eagles break a 1st round trend
🔷Cowboys nab a rising CB
