The Easy Schedule thing is off base to me because you never know how improved some of the so called sorry or mediocre teams on the schedule will be.  You'll get at least 2 teams that will have a better year than expected along with the teams that you know will be quality opponents.

It's definitely harder than the "statistics" show it will be...

Houston might address their QB situation this offseason, which would make them a real pain in the proverbial A.$.$.

Atlanta and Carolina will NOT be as bad as they were last season, that's for sure, those will be hard games.

 

Pats, Saints, Broncos and Steelers...... 

That's 6 tough games... Yes the Titans and Jags should still be rollovers, but the other 4 remaining games are against teams who cause upsets every now and then, (Browns, Dolphins, Bills and Bucs...)

I expect this coming season to be a tough one. 11 wins would be an acceptable amount in my eyes... Anything over that would be a bonus. You can't take wins for granted in this league.

The Bills and Dolphins games will not be "Walk Over Them" type of games.  I xpect them to be closely contested.

Those will be quality opponents. The Bucs will be in the 2nd year of Lovie Smiths defense so I expect them to be

improved, and they've got some nice offensive pieces. Just need to add a quarterback.

Most of the time it's more than a couple of teams that improve. Then there are those who fall. There is no such a thing as an easy schedule in the NFL IMO

So... if the Colts play the exact same teams as the other 3 teams in the AFC South, except where they play the 2 AFC division champs vs. Houston playing the 2 2nd place teams, and Tennessee and Jax playing the 3rd and 4th place teams...

Wouldn't that, by definition, make our schedule harder than theirs?

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By stitches · Posted

      I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him.
