Hey, would you mind reposting your thoughts from last year when the Colts were 1-5 I'm sure they must be as equally brilliant as this one.
-
best case 10-6 worst case 6-10 most likely 9-7 kids will be better than expected vets not as good as expected.

EXECUTION!
Zero turnovers
Zero pre snap penalties
Zero drops by receivers
Colts have the more talented and balanced offense, good lord look at the passing TD's comparison.
We'll need a few big plays (chunks) but we've consistently got those so just don't beat ourselves.
-
I fear him inside the 10 especially, he's a pushing the pile style runner and he's a problem on third and one or two as well.
-
If the corners and safeties make plays we win....I fear penalties and the zebras most, then turnovers and third their stars on offense. If Dallas has success in 2/3 they could win.
-
Pain is part of the game.....you have to root you way thru it....
-
Only with a significant number of our own mistakes can we beat ourselves, dolphins won't stop the run and so won't be able to defend the play action pass either. Sans multiple turnovers, special teams mistakes, or multiple drive extending penalties...the Colts cover and win.

A few things would need to happen though
-Colts win vs the dolphins
-Ravens lose vs the raiders
-Bengals lose vs the browns
Not sure I see the raiders beating the ravens, but I can see the browns getting a win especially if green is out again.
Usually I like to watch and root against the competition but this year it's all about the Colts running the table....that's what I want.

At the end of the season, people will talk about how the offensive line helped Luck win the comeback award and reach his potential....but it started with Reich's plan to protect Andrew with play calling, scheme and a gradual progression. Josh McDaniel gets my vote as season mvp for quitting on us which was the luckiest thing that happened to the Colts since, well....Luck.
-
Maybe he can make Josh McDaniel the answer to a trivia question someday....it would be sweet justice.

Maulet is dumb...on the other hand, the penalty on Odin yesterday was a farce....

Great run then as I recall as 11 year old then. Won 9 in a row after starting 1 and 4. Could be in 1st now if won vs eagles, Bengals or jets.
It was a magical season. The first game of the season was against the Bears and some rookie named Walter Payton, Colts win 35-7, Payton gets 8 yards on 8 carries (if I remember right) and even though the Colts lost 4 straight you could see the talent and that they just needed to believe in Marchibroda's system and put the pieces together. When they won in Miami in the fog in the next to last game of the season it was a surreal moment. Does lightning strike twice? I don't know? I do know, from my perspective, this is the first Colts team in Indy, since maybe 99 or 05 that shows ability to run block and pass block equally well. Andrew with a clean pocket and a decent running game, we've never seen that and whatever happens, I'm excited.

I don't see 10-6. That would be going 5-1 the rest of the way. I think we lose to the Texans and maybe Dallas or Jacksonville. Finish 9-7 and just miss the playoffs.
People didn't see the impossible run to the afc east crown in1975 either but it did happen and this team is a lot like that 75 team under uncle Ted.
-
Face it Andrew is going to be comeback player of the year and I'm not afraid to say it this early.
-
I liked Andrew's naked boot for a first down that's going to make DE's stay home on short yardage next time.
-
For the 100th time check out the 75 Colts 1-4 start to 10-4 division crown....It's all been done before
-
Live didn't look like a fumble but replay he lost control on way down, ball moves slightly just before knee hits, fumble caused by the rip not the contact of ground.
-
Having seen Bortles play this year he scares me with his legs not his arm.
-
If they had beaten the jets I would be a little more inclined to say yes but the 1975 Colts did it from a 1-4 start and that was a similar young team.

We're not only better on both o&d lines, but both lines are in the up arrow trends while the Raider lines are in the down arrow trends. I am supremely confident we will win if the skill players perform and don't give the ball away with turnovers.

Good things can happen.....Jack Doyle

Week 1 - Chargers could be a W

And Luck before we had Luck meaning, Let's not forget Clint Sessions rookie debut game where he intercepts in the red zone, plays lights oUT and then A.V. misses a point blank game winning FG 19 yards in the last minute.....
