Oh, they basically backed in, but they did win to get in and that is all that they could control.

They slipped, tripped, stumbled backwards, and fell sideways into that one.

Bernard Pollard doesn't block that punt, and Jax goes to Indy.

They still did what they had to do to get in, they won. Spin it however you like.

Doesn't matter because they did nothing the following week. I can't even remember who they lost to.

Indy

Trent Green got old the same freaking day as Herm decided to not give LJ his usual 30 carries...

They do but they are a good team this year.

Hell they had Denver on the ropes and that's with 2 missed FG's from Janikowski.

Yeah, and Manning even tried to give us the game early on.

Yes, he did.

A good QB and a HC away...

Same as it ever was.

Maybe. Essentially, you need the Colts to fix things and just win their division - reducing the Texans (tied with KC at 3-5) to nothing. You don't need a WC threat coming from this division. Looking at the Jets, Raiders and Steelers - they are the teams keeping you out right now, forget the rest. They each have a slew of tough games, so it's not impossible, but if you are a KC fan hoping for them to rally - you're going to need to follow 4 teams incredibly closely down the stretch, while hoping the Dolphins and Texans flounder.



The Jets and Raiders are both 4-3 and sitting in those final two (non div winner) spots right now.



Then, you have



Steelers, 4-4

Bills, 3-4

Dolphins, 3-4

Chiefs, 4-5

Texans, 3-5



Jets have Jaguars, Bills, @ Texans, Dolphins, @ Giants, Titans, @ Cowboys, Patriots and @ Bills.



Raiders have @ Steelers, Vikings, @ Lions, @ Titans, Chiefs, @ Broncos, Packers, Chargers, @ Chiefs



Steelers have Raiders, Browns, @ Seahawks, Colts, @ Bengals, Broncos, @ Ravens, @ Browns
