How Many Games Will The Colts Win This Season?

[RockThatBlue]

I'm going with 13-3. Pretty easy schedule with maybe a few hard games mixed in, colts could blow a lot of people out. Will also get the number 1 seed in the AFC and win the super bowl.

Sports Illustrated predicts 11-5.    And they give a game by game breakdown.

Me?    I'm predicting 12-4,   but our defensive issues (very thin DL) is very troublesome.  

[Colts_Fan12]

No idea with our Dline

12.

[colts8718]

10-6

[Coltsman1788]

I'll go with 11 again.  We seem to like that number. We will go as far as Luck takes us and our questionable defense allows.

I wiill go with 12-4.

[bananabucket]

14-2 or above: 5%

13-3: 10%

12-4: 25% 

11-5: 35%

10-6: 15%

9-7 or below: 10%

 

 

About how I see it.  Needless to say I'm predicting 11-5, with losses @HOU, NE, DEN, @PIT, @MIA.  Though I'm sure we'll win a couple of those and drop a couple elsewhere (@CAR? @BUF?)

[Derakynn]

I'd really like to see 12, simply because 12-4 looks way better than 11-5. And it'd be cool to be different than the past 3 years. (But obviously not at the expense of the team)

10 and you can blame that on Grigs who has been stubborn about the dline

it will cost Pagano his job and it shouldn't but it will.

[21isSuperman]

We need to break through that 11 win barrier.  I'm expecting 12 wins or more this year

[CanuckColt]

It looks like 11-5 with their schedule.

...depends what they do at Buffalo and at Miami.

...could be 12-4 or 13-3...it all depends on the 'D'.

[JCJanko]

Tough call looking from the outside (Buffalo fan). Any team with Luck and average talent gets 10 wins right off. Since you have much better than average talent around him, I say lowest 11.

 

Also, I adamantly disagree with predicting "game by game" wins and losses. Teams change so drastically today not only from one season to the next, but also game to game.

 

Can't wait for the game!

[Yoshinator]

I think this is a tricky schedule with games that are harder than they seem (BUF, MIA, NYJ, NO). We could get beat once by HOU, Den and NE are very difficult. I'll say 11-5 again, but we are a dominant offense and an improvement on the defensive side.

I have a hard time seeing the Colts drop 3 home games (I think we win one or two out of Pitt, Den, NE).

Good post. I especially agree with the bolded.

Enough to win the division

[ricker182]

If we beat NE, DEN, or PIT then we'll win 12.

I think we beat one of them so I say 12. 

 

That includes losing to BUF Week 1. (which is very possible so let's try not to freak out if we do).

[NorthernBlue]

I say we win 12, with losses to NE, Pittsburgh, Miami and one of NO, CAR and ATL.

I was worried about the Houston game but now that they lost Foster I think we should win it. And the only reason I see us losing to Miami is because by then, we'll be locked (or close to locked) in the playoffs and they'll be fighting for a spot, so they'll go harder than us.

 

But I agree with what the Bills fan above said. Can't really predict game by game predictions. You never know who's gonna be in or out by week 8. or week 10. or week 4. or tomorrow. 

 

God Sunday can't come quick enough

13. Book it.

You are one sick individual.

You are one sick individual.

that's what my therapist said

[southwest1]

The 1st 2 games vs Rex Ryan's Buffalo defense & Todd Bowles in NY with Revis Island & Antonio Cromartie in the secondary scares me a little bit. Plus, Rob Ryan's men look healthy & solid in New Orleans too.

 

Carolina will be no cake walk going up against Ron Rivera's club on defense either. LB Luke Kuechly is a game wrecker man. 

 

Record wise, let's roll with 10-6 & then we get hot in the playoffs just like the NY Giants did in 2007. Our only solid preseason game where we looked competitive was vs the Rams.

 

I loved what Jeff Fisher said in our 21-14 victory "defensively we are playing an outstanding QB in Luck." Translation: The league knows Andrew is the real deal even if Skip Bayless is clueless.

 

We did a lot of good things in that game: 2 sacks of Nick Foles by Walden, an Andre Johnson TD, a Pat McAfee onside kick, TE Dwayne Allen looked healthy on the field, Josh Chapman was solid, Butler was knocking away passes,  Jalil Brown's pick, Tyler Varga ran the ball well, but RB Josh Robinson failing to secure the handoff & fumbling the ball really disappointed me.

 

I loved what HOF Marshall Faulk said as a broadcaster during that game "Cris Carter will let son Duron know that you can't be the 'fall guy' when you know the ball is coming to you [& literally fall down on the route]." LOL!  

 

I just have a feeling that INDY might struggle this year when so many NFL analysts are picking us to have such a high power ranking this year. We always play our best ball when we are ignored by the masses vs media darlings. Just intuition I guess. 

 

Is it just me or does Torry Holt, who was a darn good WR in St. Louis, leave a lot to be desired as an on air announcer? He reminds me of LaDainian Tomlinson: Great player; lousy play by play guy. He knows football. He's just not the smoothest communicator to me.

Is that supposed to be funny? Because I would venture to guess that 99% of the forum is not amused by that remark Mr. Crackychan. I sure wasn't.

I won't call anyone "sick" BSF, but I agree with you 100% that this individual is misguided in his opinion/seasonal projection for the Colts this year. 

[Gramz]

I'm going with 13.

[NewEra]

I need to see this new defense in action. I'm really nervous about having the fate of our defense rest on 2 rookie linemen. We are bound to have some real inconsistent play. Not to mention can they hold up for the season. Much harder than a college season. If we lose one or both or they wear down and disappear then what?

[southwest1]

that's Dr.crackychan to you soul sister

Okay, Dr. You're entitled to your position & I am entitled to vehemently disagree with your point of view. I'm not sure what "soul sister" has to do with anything, but that's okay a lot of stuff goes over my head. Have a pleasant evening. 

[southwest1]

I'd raise our winning percentage to 12 games if I knew our offensive line would be able to survive exotic Rex & Rob Ryan blitzes during the regular season, but I need to see a clean pocket for Luck to step forward in & allow Gore to reach the 2nd level before he gets touched, but I need to see it first. Defense doesn't scare me, but I have reservations about our o-line holding up after say Halloween. Please prove me wrong.
