Speaking of that...I was wondering about the tiebreaking procedure for the Andrew Luck Suck-Off that is currently taking place. Is it strength of schedule? Point differential? Suck volume velocity?

You mean like having one of our most sure-handed players fumble right into the hands of a Jets player? It's like "Here! Take the game. We don't want it".

I'm pretty sure if both the Colts and Phins tied for the worst record in the league with no head-to-head games, they do a coin-flip to determine who gets the #1 pick. Things like strength of schedule, etc.., only go so far.

Yes, it appears they are tanking...But I could be bias.
- Run off of the clock with 66 seconds and timeout
- Running the ball twice directly up the middle while down 11 points
- Lack of effort what so ever on the defensive line
- No attempt to blitz the QB and playing soft coverage on receivers

I honestly don't think they are purposely tanking the game, or any game for that matter...I think it's down to murphy's law at this point and I think they are looking for, and expecting, things to go wrong. I think losing is in everyone's heads at this point. When things go wrong it's like, here we go again.
Sparano should be fired immediately after this game...there is no point in allowing him to continue. The season is OVER as of the end of this game. We can't do anything right, the team has lost confidence in themselves as well as the scheme. They had two weeks to get ready for this game and they've played very, very, poorly all night. Nolan should finish the season.
Why fire him? Team is not making the playoffs. These bums are not making a miraculous turnaround. Make Sparano suffer through coaching the last 11 weeks of a failed season and get the best draft slot possible.
