Colts 2015-2016 Reg. Season schedule

[oldunclemark]

The bye is late......w play the AFC South....weak final game vs. Tenn

That's a very good schedule

[Nobody]

Bye week 10 is about as perfect as it gets.

[TKnight24]

Also, weird the Jets game is primetime but not the Broncos???

Peyton is getting washed up, there's no hype to that game anymore.

Glad it's no longer in prime time

[Nobody]

That's legitimately probably a 5-0 start.

Bills and Jets will be much improved.

[CS Coltsfan]

I think that they move the Broncos game to Sunday night especially since it may be Peytons last year

Peyton will squash this storyline this year.

Late afternoon game. That game will probably be the highest rated non primetime game of the entire year. The old Colts/Pats matchups with Manning and Brady were sometimes CBS games. They can lock in a few hot matchups every season as a part of their TV deal.

[Dustin]

Bills and Jets will be much improved.

 

Yeah, but I don't trust a team without a QB. 

[RockThatBlue]

The Jets and Bills will be tough.

Yep agreed. Although we will probably beat both those two defenses will be tough to score on.

[horseshoeblue22]

For everyone mentioning the DEN IND game, 430 est start time means that game will be on in almost every market. Good chance it could be flexed as well. Couldnt be happier w this schedule, Buffalo will be a good test in the opener.

[Nobody]

Yeah, but I don't trust a team without a QB.

Every year we make bad QBs look good. I'm still wary.

[RockThatBlue]

I see 13-3 very possible but will wait til after the draft to see if I keep that prediction.

Love the late bye week.

[CheezyColt]

Also just noticed the short week leading to our divisional game at Houston.  That could be a tough one depending on how Hoyer or Mallet plays.  But division games are always tough, especially on the road, and especially on a short week.

[ColtRider]

Anyone notice this .. Week 6 & 7 ... at home

Week 13 & 14 ... away

The remaining games alternate each week.

[The Old Crow]

How easy can a schedule get ?

[Bravo]

Good schedule!!!!

I like the bye week on week 10.

Weeks 3,4, and 5 will be big steps to get a step up on the AFC South!

[horseshoeblue22]

It could get much easier than this..just look at PITs schedule last season if you need proof. Bills, Saints, Panthers, Broncos, Pats, Steelers and both Texans games will be legitimate challenges. Dolphins and Falcons wont be easy either. Jags, Titans, Bucs, and Jets should be relatively easy wins, but no wins should be taken for granted in the NFL.

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

Whooooooo super hype for this season bye week 10 very clutch

[ColtsLegacy]

How easy can a schedule get ?

[mattceinicram]

Is be shocked if we don't start 5-0

[PhillyCOLTSfan]

What a great way to test our run d then having to play a rex ryan team you know he goin to run alot

[Superman]

I'd like to see someone do an adjusted strength of schedule. Take the results from the last three seasons, adjust for home and away games, and figure out how much difference that makes from the usual SoS which is just based on last seasons' raw results.

Now that's an intriguing suggestion. Wonder how much better that makes Grigson look? ...

[peytonmanning18]

If we play well I don't see why we couldn't start 10-1.  More likely we'll be 8-3.

[Defjamz26]

Very nice schedule with a chance to start 5-0. If Grigson does right in the draft, I see a 12-4 team.

Sucks we get Pittsburgh so late though. Would've loved them early while Bell is suspended. It'll be cold in Pittsburgh that time too

Also lol at getting the Saints in Indy. They were always a soft dome team, but they're even softer without Graham. Lets hope the roof is open for that game

[Coltsman1788]

That Buffalo opener on the road...expecting a tough game. Bills are one of the better defenses in the league.

[buccolts]

11 - 5, book it.

It's what we do.

[Bravo]

Before draft prediction:

@Buf W

Vs Jets W

@Ten W

Vs Jax W

@Hou L (think we finally lose one game to Texans)

Vs NE L

Vs Saints W (I'm not sure about this. I just feel like Colts won't play well vs Saints but still get W being * off by another loss to NE)

@Car L

Vs Den W

@Atl W

Vs Tampa W

@Pitt L

@Jax W

Vs Houston W

@Mia W

Vs Tenn. W

12-4 season. #2 seed. Home field advantage for playoffs!

Super Bowl!!!

Welll the Bucs game is home so wouldn't matter when it is

[Defjamz26]

That Buffalo opener on the road...expecting a tough game. Bills are one of the better defenses in the league.

Not when ur comes to their pass defense though. Gilmore is alright but they won't be able to cover our receivers. Johnson, Hilton, and Moncrief? I'd we keep Luck clean, there's no way he doesn't pass for 400 yards. Hell, it might not even matter if they do pressure him after what he did to the Giants and Steelers last season.

[SDakColts]

As long as we have a solid draft this year, and get some pieces that can make an immediate impact I could see this being a very favorable schedule for us. Week 1 vs. Buffalo is a pretty tough game to start the year on. That will definitely be a huge test for our offense right away.

[peytonmanning18]

I think that they move the Broncos game to Sunday night especially since it may be Peytons last year

 

Nope, CBS will protect that game, it's not going anywhere.  It'll be the late national game on CBS.

[RomanianColtsFan]

This schedule is as close to perfect for Colts as it can be. Prime time games, late bye week, nice weather, and other advantages as pointed out above. I have no complains.

[dgambill]

How easy can a schedule get ?

we all know the way it looks now won't be how we see it during the season. I will say first thought with Florida weather in dec and north/east coast early is very nice. There will be adversity and u don't win the SB in October...this is as good as a Colt fan could ask for. I do hope to get home field in the playoffs but nothing is assured except to expect the unexpected.

the Bills have a top 3 defense.  expecting Luck to throw for 400 is ludicrous.  just look what they did to Aaron Rodgers last season:

 

17/42 185 0TD 2INT

[dgambill]

Welll the Bucs game is home so wouldn't matter when it is

that Dolphins game isn't and neither is the late Jacksonville game. Saints at home and not New Orleans is good for us too.

[Jules]

If I am correct......Colts didn't lose a 1 pm game all last year including the playoff game vs. Cincy.

 

 

So we are 10-6 already maybe.

[Solon]

2015=11-5

2016=11-5

2017=11-5

2018=11-5

2019=11-5

2020=11-5

[That Guy]

Also, we only play one team coming off a bye week. It happens to be the Falcons who we are playing after we BOTH have bye weeks! That makes games interesting!
