I remember the days in Atlanta when the phrase "mathematically eliminated" was a phrase that covered the end of all Atlanta teams seasons....That would be a great handle.

Glaken, I hate to rush a season, but Im ready for some playoffs. Colts have 3 playoff like games coming up to get them battle tested. They may lose 2 of 3.

I hear ya General, you know we're getting close when we have NFL on Saturday!!
