Week 14: Friday Injury Report

http://indyfootballreport.com/index.php/archives/4738

I’ll add it to the post

The NFL does not force teams to put any players on the injury report if the team is sure they will play. The only problem would come if many probables start not playing or if someone not on the injry report sits out of the game. It doesn’t go the other way to my knowledge.

they put em on the report to get them treated , like you can have a day off but you need to come in for treatment on that calf that was hurting during the game.

but not to your suggestion

HA

I won’t push Mathis.

as you ever liking Joe Namath.

banned indoor prostitution

Is it still legal outside?

The headline I saw said he was “nabbed.” I’d have used “nailed” myself for a sex scandal, but that’s just me.
I guess their Flying Elvis mascot was just too much of a hunka hunka burnin’ love.
Of course the old Pat Patriot mascot was once put in the stocks for “carnal knowledge of a scullery maid,” so nobody’s perfect.

Even farther off topic, but still in the sex scandal vein, in the aftermath of the Tiger Woods fiasco, my wife was reading an online article about the worst celebrity mistresses. I was familiar with most of them but didn’t recognize most of the names. The one I really had no idea who she was talking about, until I saw a photo, turned out to be Steve McNair’s. I said, “Hon, she wins the award as the worst mistress. Far as I know, Camilla Bowles and Madonna didn’t kill anybody.” Rule of thumb: Bad mistress: you suffer public shame and lose millions and millions. REALLY bad mistress: you’re dead before age 40. But I DID learn that Steve Garvey is incapable of actually zipping his fly closed—I knew he had a scandal 20 years ago, but didn’t realize how many women and offspring were involved.

Hey, it’s been a few years since he retired ands he has a lot of mouths to fees, so maybe he needs work… I understand the Pats need a new mascot.

we lose to the Broncos and beat the Jets (and lose to the Bills and Jags.) They could also beat us on common opponents if the one game we win from the remaining four is against the Jags or the Bills. In case we beat the Jets and lose to the other three, the next tie breaker against Cincy would go to strength of victory, but I haven’t look into it those scenarios.

Obviously Cincy has to win out for any of these scenarios to matter.

Both Cinci and San Diego lost to Denver once, although SD beat Denver on the return trip. And the Bolts also lost to Baltimore, although the Bengals won against them one out of two times. I think there may be more to that too, but the wins over Baltimore and Denver would be the tiebreakers, if I understand the rules correctly. I ran through some scenarios at the Yahoo Sports “playoff scenario generator” (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/playoffscenario), and I found that a Jets win would also work for every situation I played with. While it’s most likely that Indy wins out anyway, losing to Denver opens the door to possibly falling to a 3-seed. It’s a heckuva long shot – Indy would have to drop all their games after Denver, and Cincinnati and San Diego would have to tie, or Cincy would have to run the table with Denver suddenly somehow winning the AFC West… well, the point is that there are a few long shot, but not mathematically impossible scenarios where the Colts could drop to a 3. But they all depend on Indy really screwing up big time and losing the last 4. It is more likely to drop to a 2 if Indy doesn’t take care of business, but really, the key is to win at least one of the remaining games to get the undisputed 1-seed. The reason Denver is highlighted, as far as I can tell, is that it’s an easy common opponent to figure out, plus it’s the very next game, and would give Indy the maximum flexibility to choose who to rest and how to play the remaining games.

Yeah, I too have changed my mind from my past years stances, and would like to see Indy rest their injured players.
