That loss had huge implications for the play-offs. it caused a 3 game swing for home field through-out the play-offs.

if they won (and the play-offs started now) they would have had home field through-out the play-offs. Now because of the loss they are only guaranteed home-field in the 1st round.

They would need indy to lose 3 more games than them the rest of the season to get the home field and Denver to lose one more. They lose both of the tie-Breakers against those teams because they lost to them.

I agree, I don't think Bill held anything back....they just plain stunk up the joint on Sunday
