It's an easy schedule for us, and it seems on paper we added some really solid players in the draft (and obviously Richardson). You would think the team will be healthier, and if Richardson isn't completely raw, he can do some damage to some other teams purely because of his athleticism. I think we are a 9-8 team this year, so right on the edge of the playoffs, or possibly a wildcard. However, this is the most excited I've been since 2018 when I thought Luck was finally healthy, we had a solid GM in Chris Ballard (at that point we were just figuring it out), and it seemed we had fixed the O-Line and D-Line. Right now there are some concerns (CB and interior O-Line), but I think the future is bright and the playoffs are possible. Maybe we go 4-13, but maybe we go 10-7. Richardson is an all-or-nothing type QB, and I'd rather have that than a pocket passer who can't run the ball. We are in the 21st century of QB play with a coach who made the SB last year with a similar QB. I think we finally have a real chance to compete after 5 years. -

Nope, I'd rather watch what's on TV and keep track of the Colts on gametracker the times they aren't on and look at highlights later. I'm more tempted than ever to pay for Colts games, but generally I would never do more than gamepass if I did. -

I think the Colts could definitely surprise a lot of people this year. If Steichen can put Richardson in positions to be successful and utilize his strengths, they have the talent elsewhere to compete for the division. Also having this team prepared for a change especially at the start of the season will go a long ways as well. Reich never had that ability and Steichen seems to emphasize it. -
At some point/ over the years you have to have a good draft draft. if they did it every year we would be in the playoffs often. Look at the Chiefs oh by the way Ballard from there, Cinn, Buffalo etc -
That is very true. And I think that’s the answer to my question. Last season most of us believed that Ryan was an improvement at QB, some of us believed that Pryor and Pinter could play because…why else would they start them with basically no competition. Now we’re wise enough to say Show Me before I buy it. Yet, I’m very optimistic this year. I think ON PAPER the team IS better, except for losing Gilmore. But you’re right, let’s see it.
