For the fact so many people were sad/mad over this move and complained about the way we did it, I would prefer to have our own separate ROH, greatest players, and team accomplishments just for the Indianapolis Colts. What happened in Baltimore can stay in Baltimore, Baltimore isn't Indianapolis. I am content with what we have accomplished here in Indianapolis which begin in 1984. Since 1984-2023: 40 seasons here as Indianapolis. Division Championships - 11 = 1987 (AFC East), 1999 (AFC East), 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014. AFC Final 4 Appearances - 5 = 1995, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2014. AFC SB Appearances - 2 = 2006, 2009. SB Championships - 1 = 2006. Great players that have played in Indianapolis: QB's 1. Peyton Manning 2. Andrew Luck 3. Jim Harbaugh (had 1 great season but it was important) RB's 1. Edge James 2. Eric Dickerson 3. Marshall Faulk 4. Jonathan Taylor WR's 1. Marvin Harrison 2. Reggie Wayne 3. T.Y. Hilton TE's 1. Dallas Clark 2. Ken Dilger O.Lineman we have had 1. Chris Hinton - OT/OG (could play either side) 2. Jeff Saturday - C 3. Quenton Nelson - LOG 4. Tarik Glenn - LOT 5. Tony Castonzo - LOT D.Line we have had 1. Dwight Freeney - DE 2. Robert Mathis - DE 3. DeForest Buckner - DT 4. Tony Siragusa - DT LB's 1. Darius (Shaq) Leonard - OLB 2. Gary Brackett - MLB 3. Duane Bickett - OLB 3. Cato June - OLB (underrated, he had some key INT's in his day) CB's 1. Vontae Davis - RCB 2. Ray Buchanan - LCB 3. Kelvin Hayden - LCB Safeties 1. Bob Sanders - SS 2. Antoine Bethea - Mainly FS/some SS Punters 1. Pat McAfee 2. Rohn Stark Kickers 1. Adam Vinatieri Head Coaches 1. Tony Dungy 2. Ted Marchibroda GM's 1. Bill Polian - Still should have never given up on the undefeated season in 2009 but he built a hell of a team here! I will put this 40-year resume against any other franchise and come out OK. -
I went with 6/10. There are things to be excited about for sure. But they are fighting a battle on two fronts...depending on player development and banking on regression not happening. Every team has to do this to an extent, but I feel like the Colts are doing it to an extreme standpoint on both ends, given the secondary and age of the core of the defense. Not to mention a defense that was 28th in ppg the last two years. The offense is less of a concern with Steichen calling plays and a better skill position group than they have had in a while. But it also has the biggest wildcard of all...and that's AR. I think 9 or more wins is a successful season. And if that happens...then my confidence would be up close to an 8 or 9 because that means good things happened.

Well I have this team pegged at 12 wins so pretty damn high

Clark and the Fever take out the Linx to improve to 11-14. Fever are now a game ahead of the Sky for the 7th spot in the playoffs. Only 8 teams get in. The Linx are coached by Cheryl Reeve who is going to coach of the USA Olympic Team. Before the game she was blowing questions off and being rude about Clark not being on the team. Clark got wind of it and Clark took it personal. At the end of the game, Clark was seen clapping in front of Reeve's face, staring her down in front of a sellout crowd at Minnesota in which 75% of the people were Fever fans . Poke the Polar Bear, that is what you get . -
The SOS is a bit skewed in the aggregate by playing a handful of teams with really low win projections. Colts play 6 games against teams with ≤6.5 projected wins (averaging 6 wins/team). Three of them have rookie QBs (DEN, MIN and NE), so it's hard to know what to expect. TEN is also two of those games. And they were competitive against IND last year with Levis...and have made offseason upgrades. They aren't likely to go 6-0 against those teams so I am hoping for 5-1 or 4-2. So what really matters is what happens against the other 11. And those 11 games are against teams with ≥8.5 (averaging 9.5 wins/team). Assuming they get 4-5 wins from the bad teams, they would still need to be 5-7 or better to improve on last year's win totals (and likely make the playoffs). I just think it's a tall order. But as we saw last year, projected wins can be off (from a low and high point), so maybe some of those good teams won't be as good. For me, the relative difference between last year and this year's schedule is the biggest wild card.
