I think this is the first time I've looked at a schedule and thought we might go 12-4.

No real complaints right now, looks pretty good.

 

A few thoughts:

 

1) Week 1 will be tougher then people think. I favor us, but maybe not by a lot right now. 

 

2) I am suprised we got early games for both the Saints and Falcons. Guess they wanted to hype up Luck vs. Newton more due to age.

 

3) December 6th at night in Pittsburgh in the winter is going to be IMO possibly the toughest game we have all season. 

 

4) Glad NE is in October. So we don't have to wait all year for this......lets get it over with either way early. And we will be healthier hopefully in October too.

 

5) Bye week after the Denver game works for me. It's usually an emotionally charged game so a break will be nice after it.

Week 17 is Jan 3rd?  I thought they tried to end it all before New Years.  I would have liked the Patriots maybe 2 weeks earlier, but it's much better than waiting until the second half of the season.  Surprising Denver isn't prime time.  I wonder what the NY/Indy draw is?  There should be some good games.  We definitely need a strong start to the season.

 

So the draft is next week.  And then just waiting for the regular season.  At least I'm getting married and get to enjoy a honeymoon in a couple weeks.  That should take some of the sting out of waiting for football to return!  haha

And what's up with the Jets primetime game? The media, and the sports world in general just want a New York team to be relevant so bad lol. Its like that in MLB and NBA too. You'll see the Yankees on ESPN all the time even though they haven't been that good lately.

15-1 with blowout loss to the Pats.

Sounds about right haha

 

Seriously though, it's a pretty good schedule. I like the balance overall. Week 6 through 11 to me will be a very good test. It's nice the last 3 weeks we will either be LOS or in Miami. I get playing in cold weather might be important to some, but I'll take the chance to play in Miami or LOS to end my season any day of the week.

    • Packers fans can tell me about Joe Barry that was their DC from 2021-23. They were always in the Top 12-15 range in terms of points per game as opposed to the Colts.   But the year 2021, the Colts were on par because we ran the ball well and possessed it well. Not so much in 2022, and 2023 was a bit of defensive regression for decent possession of the ball from Bradley’s unit.   Brandon Staley is another name but I’d prefer Jon Barry for his units to generate pressure. Otherwise we’d have to look at college like Packers getting the Boston College HC.   I’m a fan of Jim Leonhard that was a heck of a defensive coach / DC at Wisconsin, and is now a DB coach with Broncos. Dave Merritt, the Chiefs DB coach has done an outstanding job there and was interviewed for DC by 49ers.   My pick would be Jim Leonhard or Dave Merritt.    
    • You can’t keep winning only scoring one TD A game. I think they have gotten some what lucky with who they have played. Colds dline beat up so we will see.
    • What I meant is they are not going to come out and just throw 50 times. They are going to try and break your will and run out the clock. It’s  probably going to be a low scoring game. They have only scored 3 offensive TD. I am shocked they str 3-0. They don’t have many offensive weapons. Harris is not really a pass catching back who will break a long run. Now could that change. Off course. But their Oline id beat up. I was reading an article how they tried to open things up and Fields immediately got sacked. He they try to open things up till he revert back to Bears fields. 
    • I don’t know enough of the position coaches on other teams to say who is worthy of promotion. Best to keep an eye out on head coaches on the hot seat and their staffs. 
    • Sadly also changing my Colts pick.. 😞   Steelers 21 vs Colts 17
