Predict the season opener


CR91

Recommended Posts

With the schedule release a couple weeks away, let's see if we can predict our first opponent in the regular season.

 

In case you need a reminder of who we're playing this year, here you go

 

Texans 

Titans

Jags

Steelers

Ravens

Bengals

Browns

Bills

Broncos

Seahawks

Rams

Cards

49ers

 

I think the ravens would be a good season opener

Home opponents (*playoff team): Houston Texans*, Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers*, Denver Broncos

 

Away opponents (*playoff team): Houston Texans*, Tennessee Titans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks*, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Rams, Buffalo Bills

 

 

I'm thinking just a low key 1 pm ET game for us opening vs the Cleveland Browns against Osweiler.

If we can combine our annual Steelers loss and our annual 0-2 start that would be great.

Fine with me, haha.  Since 0-2 seems inevitable, might as well start off at Seattle and come home to the Steelers.  Now we can look forward to an optimistic rest of the season!

It was Bills either last year or two years ago if I remember right, so I don't think it'll be them. Usually isn't a division game week 1. Broncos we just faced early in the season. I'm going to go with the Browns week 1, just have a feeling.

My gut feeling is telling me it is going to be either the Cardinals or Steelers.

Historically the Bengals games are usually mid-season, November or December. We play them in week 4 of preseason every year, so it would be odd to turn around and play them in the season opener 1 week later.

Did I, or did I not say book it?......

Pretty sure that means it is 100% guranteed. No ifs, ands or buts.... Isn't that how this works?

I am going to say Rams or SF... I hope I am right only because I feel we should be able to compete or even cruise against either... and we desperately need that.

 

What we don't need is an bass whipping to open the season with all the new faces.

 

I think it is important that we break the tradition of losing the opener, particularly if it is at LOS.  :clover:

 

Damn I am ready for some Colts football, ugh... I know!... long wait yet, grass is just now getting green, lol.

    • The Colts part in the podcast is from 9:50 til about 13:40, so it is a short listen. He said LT is a big question. Struggled at that position since Castanzo left. Raimann has not really panned out. Need the position to be solidified. Like the Oline man from Pitt and there is a belief that he can play LT. It could mean nothing but teams do draft for next years free agent market. I believe Raimann is up for a contract and could give the Colts some flexibility if Raimann wants huge money and/or if they don't really think he is he answer moving forward and Conclaves shows something. Let be honest,  Cosell could be totally opposite of what the Colts think of Raimann as a LT.  
    • Agree in that he may have used the incorrect words in trying to get his point across.   I would have to listen to it again but I believe he did say that the Colts have basically not found their starting LT.
    • Not unless they feel that one of the Oline men they drafted could develop into a LT. They used a 3rd a 4th on Oline this year and that is what they used on Raimann when they drafted. I am not saying Raimann is trash. Like I said, a lot of people on this forum and the media are high on him and Cosell is not.  He could be some where in the middle in how the Colts feel about them. If that is true, then  I would tend to believe that he has not cemented himself as the franchise LT moving forward.
    • If he said something like 'Raimann isn't a franchise LT, but he's serviceable,' I probably wouldn't bat an eye. If he said 'they could probably improve at LT because I'm not sure Raimann will hold up,' my ears would perk up a little, but that's still a defensible opinion. Saying he has not panned out is a different story. I interpret that as meaning he thinks Raimann has played poorly, which is objectively not true.   Like you said, we can disagree on a draft prospect, and only time will tell. If someone has doubts about how someone on the team will perform in the future, that's fair. But saying Raimann has not panned out is based on what we've already seen, and in this case, I think Cosell is just wrong.    Maybe I'm taking his comment too literally. I listened to the interview, it was just one line in a broader discussion, and maybe if he was going to clarify he'd state his position differently. 
    • We would have to pick pretty high to move on from Rainmann. That would mean a bad season and that isn’t happening.  I doubt they would pay a LT in FA. That’s too much money.
