next 6

[OLD FAN MAN]

6 tough games coming up in a row, ravens,texans,cincy,steelers,giants and pats. given the shape of our pass rush and safety mess, can we win any of these games? can our offense bail us out?

[OldSchoolColt]

These are NOT tough games. Cincy ya, maybe Steelers.

[Derakynn]

No. It is over. I'd trade that Luck guy for a homecooked meal. Dorm food is platitudinous. 

Hello Mr. Cool 2015 QB Man. 

 

Seriously though, the schedule could be worse. I'd love to see us come out with all wins, but could see us dropping about 2 of them. I believe our offense will be fine, but the defense didn't instill confidence in the Titans game. 

[Bluefire4]

This will be the test before a pretty easy back end to the schedule.

[ColtsLegacy]

"...can we win any of these games?"

Good Lord...

[chad hugo]

Judging by how the patriots are playing right now with an almost non-existent offense, i think colts can definitely win that one 

[NewEra]

"...can we win any of these games?"

Good Lord...

Playoffs?!? Playoffs?!?

[jvan1973]

Oh neat, its these fantastic question threads again

[mattceinicram]

The Bengls game will be the only one where we are the underdogs. Patriots are just not a good team right now

[Solon]

All 6 of these games are winnable. However, we do need Arthur Jones and Jerrell Freeman.

We'll go 4-2

[SubZero]

These are all winnable but they will be tough games. The toughest ones will be Baltimore, Cincy, and Pitt though. As great as Luck is playing I want to see the defense step up against better competition. Defense wins championships.

That is a home game I don't see us being a home dog to anyone on our schedule. It is also a very winnable game in Cinny that would be a different story as far as the line goes.

 

We lost a WR that does not even dress. Losing Rogers will have no impact on the team. He was nothing but a forum pipe dream.  

 

Landry has been a disappointment since we signed him. If we could get out of the contract due to the suspension I might consider it if I were Grig's. In my opinion we lost two boneheads and we just maybe a better team without them.

[akcolt]

We need Thorton Freeman and Jones back. We didn't lose much could be a blessing in disguise.

So far with the safety options i don't know if we will be better (at least on the backend). Anderson didn't start on the safety needy Eagles for years he is a special teams player at best, Sergio is not a good starter again special teams only, and McDonald is unproven. Unless McDonald is better than we know then id be worried.

[CanuckColtsFan]

I think we can win all six. We have take down Baltimore first and we do that I like our chances.

[bestQBever]

Thank goodness Jerrell is coming back. Hopefully he help our Defense cover TE's better.

I'm pretty sure we can't get out of the contract due to suspension.

 

The salary cap hits and dead cap money problems would still apply.

[rockywoj]

We'll go 4-2

Agreed. I'd be disappointed in anything less.

[CroatianColtsFan21]

the bengals are probably the best team in the afc right now, that one's going to be tough..

 

the other 5 teams have all been exposed with some glaring weaknesses so far, ravens being the best of those and patriots being downright pathetic..

 

i'd say we go 4-2 at least..

[ProblChld32]

One Game at a time folks we cant foresee the future focus on the Now. who knows a major impact player for each of those teams could go down for the season greatly benefiting us (could also be the other way around benefiting them).

No.  We can't win any of those games.

[wesd2890]

I see a.j green having a field day with our secondary as well as steve smith. And we all know what andre johnson does to our defense every year. Sooooo.. its gonna be rough

[open window]

Medocre teams and the Bengals, I would not be surprised if the Colts win all of them I would be shocked if we don't win at least 4.

[Stephen]

5-1with loss to bengals

[Valpo2004]

Depends on what Giants team shows up.  The Giants team that smoked Washington looked pretty scary. 

 

But at other times they have looked completely inept. 

[Mitch Connors]

Demarius Thomas. 4 catches 48 yards

Jeremy Maclin. 4 catches 45 yards

Cecil shorts. 5 catches 35 yards

Nate Washington. 1 catch 20 yards

Those are the numbers that opposing teams #1 receiver has done against us. Unless their name has TE Behind it we've shut them down. Green and smith may do some damage but I'd be shocked if they "have a field day".

To compare maclin, washington, and shorts to a.j green is completely crazy. Holding them to limited catches is nothing to write home about. I just dont see how you can compare those guys against green or smith. I mean smith has the most all purpose yards out of any player in the league(career wise). Yes we held thomas to 4 catches which is awesome. But to compare those other guys to a.j green or smith sr. Is crazy. Not even in the same ball park

[adamthyst]

These are all winnable games, but I'd say we lose 1-2 of these because anything can happen. I'm hoping we rip one into Cincy and see if we can pull off a shocker,

[jskinnz]

Dear God...

[B~Town]

Week to week things can change Giants looked terrible now they look the world beaters it's really hard to look that far in future . As of right now 4-2 - 6-0 should be expected .

What about Thomas? He's not in the smith and green ballpark? I noticed you skipped him. Also notice you downplay Maclin who has 350 receiving yards (#5 in the nfl). Included in his 350 yards is the game against the colts that he was shut down.

I didnt skip thomas.. i said we held him to 4 catches which was awesome. And no maclin has not had a career close to a.j or smith. Yes he is off to a good start but not steve smith good. Smith is #1 in the league and is on pace to shatter the most yards record. Im not disagreeing that maclin is havin a heck of a year im just sayin he is not in the same category. Put it this way if maclin and a.j were on the same team do you really think maclin would be #1 over a.j?

Smith isn't #1 in the league, he's #3.

Jordy Nelson 459

Julio jones 447

Steve Smith 429

He's also not on pace "to shatter the record". The record is 1871. Smith is on pace for 1716.

I agree Maclin would be #2 to aj green but what does that have to do with this discussion? If they were on the same team and that team were playing the colts I may agree with you but I would add that when we played the broncos we shut down d Thomas and sanders did damage. If that holds true we will shut down green and Sanu will do damage. We will shut down Steve smith and Torrey smith will do damage.

[Narcosys]

Consider re - phrasing. Active career in the league yes, career in the league no.

Bengals only real threat...but on its 'ON ANY GIVEN SUNDAY' anything can happen. Colts got this in the bag....they just need to find the bag...

[Ryan Pelley]

I'm just glad that Baltimore, Cincy and New England will all be playing here. I think we have a realistic shot of winning 5 of these 6. It will be a real test, before having a much easier end to the season. 12-4 still seems likely, IMO.

[Mr.Debonair]

To see some of you say CIN is the only toss up game to me is crazy. All of those will be tough maybe with the exception of Houston. I'm hoping for 5-1 but 3-3 though disappointing, wouldn't be a shock
