SOS is the FIRST tiebreaker, head to head never factors into it. Our SOS will screw us, so we can't tie for the worst, we have to be the clear-cut crappiest team in the NFL.

This is partially correct. SOS is the first tie-breaker. But against Indy, if we both had the same SOS, we would enter the conference tiebreaker, in which case the H-T-H record would break the tie. However, H-T-H would not matter under any circumstance against Minnesota or any other team from the NFC.
