SOMDColtsfan Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Over at NFL.com, 4 experts pick the Colts to go no worse than 6-10. Bucky Brooks 8-8, Adam Shein 6-10, Dan Jerimiah 7-9 and Steve Wyche 6-10. Any help with a link here would be much appreciated. Sounds pretty close to the general consensus around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDColtsfan Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 If this were the case, and the power rankings have the Colts at 32, somebody is wrong because there will be plenty of teams with a worse record than 6-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 we should be competitive in every game thats what Im hoping for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewColtsFan Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 we should be competitive in every game thats what Im hoping forI think there's a decent chance that would could suffer a pretty good beat-down loss in as many as 4-5 games. All on the road.Chicago, Green Bay, New England, Detroit and Texas.Those are powerful offenses and one, or all of them could really take it to us. I would not be surprised.As always, hope I'm wrong on these kind of predictions, but I think it's possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I see us struggling with teams with a decent 7 man front. Satele, Justice and Olsen all got pretty much got abused vs Pitt and that was without Harrison and much defensive gameplanning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indyswagger Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 this will an interesting year, thats for sure. Who really knows what is going to happen. We could go 10-6, 6-10, 2-14, 5-13 etc... Our team will get better next year when our salary cap is going to open up. We will be able to really start building the monster, free agency and trades.We all see the potential this team has, and that builds expectations, but sometimes reality gets in the way. Coaching and proper technique will only get you so far. Hopefully it will get us at least a .500 season and be competitive in all the games, I dont think that would be asking for too much, lol. But what it boils down to is, "Who Knows" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutler is really not that good, their oline is worst then indys line from what i could see while watching their pre season games. yeah they have brandon marshall for cutler to throw to, but he has to have time to throw it to him. i believe the colts win this game by 6.

Their defenses will definitely be able to keep up with the Colts offense and their rookie QB while their offenses will definitely be a factor. Jay Cutler now has Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery, and Matt Forte. Forte will establish the run and that will only open up the passing game. Remember, Cutler was 7-3 last year before he went down.

If we can stop the run, I don't think they do much to us. If Corey Redding is healthy, I'm calling a W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I admit that Luck has his size and legs going for him...it's going to be a bad day for offensive lines that's for sure lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a nasty DT and he'll be going against the dynamic duo of Seth Olsen or Mike McGlynn. That could be ugly, but Luck has some tremendous mobility. Peppers VS Justice could also get ugly, but I don't think Justice is as bad as others do. I want to see some 4 Wide sets. Test out their Nickel and Dime backs. Hilton/Avery/Brazill should be able to beat their 4th string DBs pretty easily. Just as long as Arians doesn't bring out the epic 3 TE set every first down and run it to the right for a loss of two, I think we'll be alright........and what am I talking to you for, you're a division rival. Quit spying on our board and feeding info to Kubiak. This is top secret information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the WRs will be able to blow the top off of the nickel and dime backs no doubt. Maybe their speed will help them get open quickly enough for Franchise, because even though he is definitely mobile, I'm pretty sure Urlacher is going to disagree with his methods hahahaha. You can blame Tebow for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Kirk Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Lol think the running game will be better than that,Pagano will see to it one way or the other!This will not be a pass only attack, will gaurantee that!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOMDColtsfan Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 what power rankings are you looking at? because the two i have seen has the colts at 26th.
