To begin the season everyone was saying we have the easiest schedule..... Doesn't look that way now, Hope they start giving respect where respect is due.... Rather in saying they play in a weak division.... Go Colts!!! We still have to Play Cincy, Dallas, Pitt, New england, Giants.... Even the Browns have looked decent

Yup. Cincy is hard, Houston is hard, Dallas is gonna be very hard unless Romo lives up to expectations and sucks in december, and then we have a revitalized patriots team.

Who have 2 good TE's that'll do damage to our defense that struggles with TE's

And Wright runs like a WR...... No way our LB's are covering him

He's starting to look like what Aaron Hernandez should've been when paired with the Gronkster

The schedule started top heavy, that was the problem. Denver and Philly can score. And besides, I still think the Philly game was taken from the Colts but I won't get too into that now. Whats done is done. 

 

I also feel we tend to be slower starters under Luck since his rookie season too.

 

The Colts will be fine this year and will win a lot of games.

According to playoffstatus.com the Colts have played the 5th hardest schedule in the afc and the 9th hardest in the league. They have the 6th hardest remaining schedule in the afc and the 17th hardest in the league. That's based on this year's records.

If Murray stays healthy, Dallas will be hard to beat.

Hopefully in December the game comes down to Chokmo and throwing the ball.

Agreed if they keep running murray 30 times a game like they have i dont see Murray being very effective or healthy come december and if that happens we will see some tony ohno

Cause Jags, Tenn, & Houston are in our div.

 

Okay, but we compensate for that by playing the Eagles, Broncos, Patriots, Ravens, Bengals, Cowboys, Browns, and the Steelers. That is not easy. Granted the Browns are a bit of a surprise, but even if you take that away, that is crazy tough.

That may be but playing Houston & Jag twice a year sques the strength of schedule since the two teams had bad seasons last year...

Simple math...

NFC east wasnt good last year either, or Browns, & Steelers, & Ravens were middle of the pack, so again it is what it is...

I never thought this was an easy schedule. I have no idea why it was ever considered the easiest.

Strength of schedule is determined by last year's records, which based off of that, the Colts did indeed have the easiest. But many of our opponents have significantly improved since last year. So now, I'd say it's amongst one of the toughest.

This system remains one of the dumbest systems for determining any year's strength of schedule. While it is impossible to predict how teams will perform after all of the changes that are made each off season.  The press should just not say anything about a new year until the season starts to unfold.

I understand that, but applying logic to our schedule I never thought it was easy.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      I think if the Colts get a WR in the top-50 picks, or so,  I think the Colts would agree with you.

      welp, after another week of developments, rumors, and predictions…here is where I stand:   1.  My personal top 5 for our first has not changed.  Mitchell, Arnold, Turner, BTJ, Bowers are still who id be ok with picking at 15.  I’ve said it before, but this is one of the most “it can go any way for us” drafts I’ve witnessed for us in a long time, if not ever.     2.  With the rumors of us looking to trade up, I AM ALL FOR IT.  It’s ok to play it safe and build your team, but that gets mediocrity.  We need to go out and get a guy.  A player we KNOW that will be elite or very good.  Not one that we hope can do that.  I think MHJ is definitely going to the Cards (if they don’t trade out) so that means either Nabers or Odunze who we’re probably trading for if they fall to 8 or 9.  Id prefer Nabers over Odunze.  Nabers is that blazing separator we desperately need, Odunze is possessive beast, but I feel we already have that with MPJ.  I don’t think trading up for bowers would be worth it.     3.  Trading back is an absolute no for me.  As said above, we have to start getting bonafide players and studs.  If we have a chance to get a bonafide stud, then we shouldn’t give it up.  Trading back and giving up the chance to get someone is lowering the talent level of our first pick.  Let’s get aggressive for once and get OUR guy.  If we can’t, let’s stay put and draft a player who will be VERY good.

      Year 25! Dr. T's Annual Colt's Draft Contest for 2024

      FYI Castro went back to college at Iowa this upcoming season.  Look for Sebastian in the 2025 NFL Draft.

      What is Chris Ballard MOST LIKELY to do in the 1st Round of the 2024 NFL Draft?

      By OhioColt · Posted

      Like most QBs they need a safety blanket to throw to and that can be a TE.  Draft rumor-mill already in full circulation with news that the Colts want to trade up on Day 1.  Still think it's a long shot to draft a legacy in MHJ reaching P4 with the Cardinals.  A trade up to P8 with Atlanta is probably the most realistic scenario and TE Bowers would be the call-in.  Not sold on most of this year's draftable QBs and doubt 4 or more will be drafted within the top-8 picks.  See the draft play out like every other year where teams can stay and get a serviceable QB.

      This could very well be the rare year we do trade up on Day 1.  Really shocked if we go after a legacy and the cost might be too rich for the short-term versus draft immediate draft needs.  Now a trade up to say P8 swap with Atlanta has a higher percentage of happening I do feel.  No way going to trade within our division with the Titans at P7.  At P8 should still have one of the top-3 WRs or even better option of drafting a generational TE in Bowers.
