Here is the deal IMO. Joe has done a terrific job keeping the team together. The coaching staff was slow to adjustments in terms of fixing issues during the year. What he would call "being committed, I would call being stubborn". His in game adjustments (unlike this past week) have been below average. Finally, blowing three (and losing two) double digit leads in the second half has to be on the staff somewhat.

He has a huge task this week to get the team ready to play after a big win, on the road in a tough environment against a good team. That is a tough task. However, if he did a better job versus Buffalo or the likes of Tampa before or found ways to finish the Patriots and Panthers, he might not "need" this game.

fair enough. people are quick to get too cute. staying with what's not working too long isn't good, but it's just as bad as changing things for the sake of it, or changing things without viable alternatives.

Issue is the other team riding a hot streak is the Ravens who we would most likely face in the first round if we get in.

Plus we've played and won so many close games we are very well conditioned for the winner-takes-all format. Out of our 6 losses, 4 were within a score at the end. We might not pull away from opponents but we stick with all-comers. That's a valuable trait in the postseason. I just wish we had the offensive personnel to put up 30+ pts games...

yeah...we are definitely battle tested...
 
OK after looking at the wildcard tie-breakers if the Ravens and Colts end up 10-6 Ravens would win the tie breaker by having a better record against common opponents. Both played Miami, Denver, Houston and Cincinnati. Indy went 2-2 against those team (only counting Houston once but they swept them) and Ravens went 3-1 against those teams losing only to Denver (Ravens would have swept the Bengals in this scenario). That would put the Ravens as the 3 seed.
