I'm honestly not worried about SEA and SF. I think Denver can be a toss up, though... Maybe. I could see Peyton sitting the last 6 minutes of the fourth, as well.

The games against the Seahawks and 49ers will be two of the hardest on your schedule. The NFC West is no joke.

I doubt the Colts win every game they're favored.There has to be SOME game where they lose to a weaker opponent, be it the Titans or the Jags. Personally, I find the St. Louis matchup tough for us. We're definitely transitioning to run defense, and the Rams could really spread it out. 

I have to agree with Ya Mike. With St louis losing Jackson the running game will be by committee.  Bradford got some real help with the receiving group although I would have liked to see a veteran free agent signed. Bradford needs to have a break out year. No more excuses for him.

honestly we play the most physical teams in the nfl this year. If we come out with a good record I like our chances in playoffs.

Unless you are paying the price of playing all those physical teams...the curse known as injury. But yeah, battle-tested teams do tend to have better chances to win in the playoffs no doubt.

As long as none of our games result in us being blown out, then it's a successful year lol

10-11 Wins is what we're looking like on paper. I have us going 5-1or 4-2(only if JAX gets lucky again) in the division sweeping JAX & TEN then splitting with HOU.

The O line and the D line are a work in progress.  Very possible we will have 3 new faces on the O line.  It will take a few games for this O line to jell.  By mid-season, this very possibly will be the best O line the Colts have had over the past 10 years.   The D line will have some new faces, and  Mr. Chapman may prove to be the answer at nose tackle.  Eager to see this young man in action.  Bjorn, as Pagano said, is the edge stopper.  He will start as a rookie, IMO, and it will be OJT, but expect to see him as a most disruptive player, in the mold of Dwight Freeney, but in a different scheme.  Dwight was strictly a down lineman. 

 

IMO, the team will make the playoffs and by then a years experience will have paid off for the new faces.  The Colts will be the team no one wants to see in the playoffs.  Expect the Niners and SeaHawks will be early season losses, but in the playoffs, all bets are off. 

I think the OLine will be improved but the '06 season had Tarik, the Ryans, Saturday & Jake Scott... that's gonna be pretty tough line-up to beat...

this very possibly well be the best O line the Colts have had over the past 5 years, may be a bit more accurate...

true but we will really see where we are at early. Denver, seahawks,  49ers, Texans and dolphins in first 8 games. Those five teams should test our new o line early and often. The other three teams don't concern me as much. Raiders have been bad for a while. The jags shouldn't be a problem if we can stop the run and the chargers seem different from the team that always gave us trouble in the past.

Yeah, wouldn't worry about the Raiders unless Flynn decides to have his coming out party against the Colts that day. Though I don't think that's likely. The Jaguars still have Jones-Drew who seems to love giving you guys problems but if he can be at least limited then I can see a win. They always play you guys hard though. The Chargers...ehh I don't know about them. They could be either good with the coaching staff change this year or worse, who knows. Can't wait to see Te'o in action in the NFL though!

I think our division is going to improve this year so I see us splitting games with the Texans and the Titans. I think we'll fall to the 49ers, Seattle, and and a surprise loss. So 10-6 or 11-5. I think we make it to the playoffs, lose on the road to a team that is on fire at the end of their season.

      Chris Ballard: Redfining what Success means in the NFL

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      Appreciate the response.   A few thoughts to share….   i think Irsay only steps down IF his health deteriorates.  No use in comparing him to Kraft, his health appears to be better even though he’s much older.     But if Irsay stepped aside, here’s why I don’t see the daughters blowing things up and starting over.   If they fire Ballard — fine.  But if they also fire Dodds and Brown, at that point, I think you’d see the rest of the scouting department resign (if they weren’t fired too).  They will all get good jobs elsewhere too.     At that point, Steichen is surrounded by very few who know him.  Worse for the daughters…. There would then be a clear line.   With Irsay vs with the daughters.  And if the new GM doesn’t do well and things go south, then the blame won’t go as much to the new GM as it will to the daughters who decided to blow things up.   They’ll be the focus of incredible hate if the new regime makes fans long for what looks like the good old days of the Ballard years.      The argument for not hiring Dodds or Brown seems to be little more than Ballard-hate.  Those people want nothing more to do with anyone associated with Chris Ballard.   Guilt by association, not because of ability.      Thats why I described hiring one of Dodds or Brown as the easiest, simplest, cleanest move to make.  Much less risk.  But blowing it up and starting over is the far higher risk move.  Threading a tiny needle hoping to get it right.     By the way, if you fire Ballard and company and hire a new GM, who does those interviews?   Honestly, who?   Who would you feel good about conducting the interviews of the new GM?      Firing someone is easy.  Hiring the right person is really hard.    Thanks for your patience.

      I just want to be on record now. If the Colts fire Ballard for whatever reason in the next few years, I have no clue what direction they will go. Just wanted to get that out there in case any of you were wondering my opinion on this.

      Colts Audio Network to Debut: “The Move”

      By AwesomeAustin · Posted

      I understand there are a lot of people that don’t know the story. I for one am burnt out on it. I do find it funny they “stole” the Ravens from Cleveland but whine about the Colts leaving. Sports bring out the best homers and team spirit.

      Colts by 17. Going to be a rough week for you buddy.    Thats a joke. I have no idea but would probably lean towards the Packers winning if I had to choose. I do think it’s great you may have transitioned to a third franchise QB in a row. I hope Love has a great career for you guys. Always had a soft spot for the Packers and they would probably be my team if I didn’t love the Colts. I enjoy it when you guys are good. Best of luck this year!!

      Packers have a pretty strong and balanced team. The defense was able to hold the Chiefs to a low score last year while the offense was perhaps the only one to score over 24 points on the Chiefs defense.    But really it’s hard to say as of right now. Let’s see how everyone fares during training camp and after their season openers. Lots of things can change.
