What this? It's just a scratch.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology.





This one also should have been filmed in Pittsburgh, with Ben Roethlisberger in the John Cleese role:

Ben should sit. I really don't care if we lose to these puds. Let them get over confident so when we face them in the playoffs with a healthy Ben, we kick their teeth in and break their hearts again.

My thoughts exactly.

Hope Charlie has one good game in him...otherwise, we can probably start thinking about next season.

Fixed that for ya.

Right now, we are 6-5, tied with Cincy for the 6th and final playoff spot. We hold the head-to-head tiebreaker against them so far, but play them again right before Christmas. That's the most important game of the year. Sweeping the Bengals would assure us the tiebreaker against them, and there really isn't that much else behind them.

Miami is a game behind us at 5-6, but they still have to play New England twice and travel out to San Francisco, so I see a 7-9 record in their future. Other than that, you have a foursome of 4-7 teams (Jets, Bills, Titans, and Chargers). Do you see any of those teams winning 5 straight games to close out the season at 9-7? I don't either.

So, realistically, we are just battling Cincy right now in order to get into the playoffs. And if we happen to get in, even as the #6 seed, we all know what can happen (particularly if Ben, Troy, Woodley, Antonio, DeCastro, Colon, Adams, etc. are all healthy come January).

The Colts currently hold the 5th seed but still have a home and away left with Houston (but one is the final game so Texans may rest guys), a game at Detroit, one at KC, and one vs the Titans. Colts could lose any of those games.
