Bleacher Report calling Colts playoff contender .

[HOF19]

Final sentence of the part of the article where they are discussing the Colts outlook for 2018 season >>>>> "Assuming Luck avoids any serious injuries, the Colts should vie for a playoff spot in a bounce-back campaign" . <<<<< Their words not mine (Tho I feel they might be correct ).

We have to be a sleeper, right? We have QB who has never had a losing seaon when healthy. The doubt is reasonable that he IS fully healthy, and our division is better than 2 seasons ago, but you would be fool to say "No Way!" Luck has the talent to give us a shot. I would agree that it looks like a very tough road, but being called a sleeper sounds about right. I'm excited!

Hey.... anything is possible and with this year’s schedule, and assuming Andrew stays healthy.... I think we can scratch out a 9-7 record and snag a Wild Card spot.

With Luck as your QB you always have that punchers chance 

[2006Coltsbestever]

Now that Pre-Season is over I have a much better feel on how to predict what teams do what. I still say if Luck stays healthy we go 9-7. 9-7 may or may not get us in the Playoffs. Some years it does, some it doesn't. Depends on tiebreakers and how well the Texans do too. I have the Jags winning the Division but only going 10-6. Great D - that will carry them but not an all-time Great D and Bortles is the worst QB in the Division.

[JPFolks]

If they beat the Bengals and Redskins, then we'll certainly have some evidence to go by. If we start 1-3, then not so much. 

[Jaredfor3]

Colts have to beat the Bengals in order to make any noise this year. 

[DougDew]

The pass rush is weak, the DBs are questionable, and the LBs are young.

 

And the running game is not good.

 

Luck is fine, but if nobody steps up to give him someplace to throw the ball, the Colts will win about 5 games.

[Four2itus]

I would have been happy about this....but you lost me at Bleacher Report....

[Tsarquise]

I doubt it. The colts are just bad. 

[Mr.Debonair]

This team is terrible if they make the

playoffs, Andrew deserves a new contract that’s 100% guaranteed 

[LockeDown]

If all of our rookies play like ROY candidates, we will be good. 

[ojsglove]

GET READY TO BE SHOCKED!!!

[Lawrence Owen]

Not going to comment on if i think they are playoff contenders yet...but i will say this :

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2773118-nfl-draft-2018-results-reviewing-this-years-worst-picks#slide2

 

"The Indianapolis Colts' selection of South Carolina State linebacker Darius Leonard with the fourth pick in the second round was one of the draft's worst moves. They took four second-rounders, so they had plenty of room for error, but this one stands out as a head-scratcher.

In the 2017 draft, no FCS off-ball linebacker was taken. In 2016, the top FCS off-ball linebacker (Kamu Grugier-Hill) was picked No. 208. In 2015, the top FCS off-ball linebacker (Kyle Emanuel) was taken 153rd. In 2014, the top FCS off-ball linebacker (Jordan Tripp) was taken 171st. For whatever reason, we woke up Friday in a world where Indianapolis thought taking an FCS linebacker in the top 40 was a good idea"

 

So yeah,...I take BR's opinions with a grain of salt. (even though i also read them...but i read everything...lol)
