Colts regular season record.

[Myles]

I thought this would be good since we are close to the first game.   The Poll is open till 1pm on Sunday, so the game won't influence the poll results.  

I'm guessing 7-9 to 9-7 will win out, but I could be wrong.

[Barry Sears]

I voted the same, but hope I'm wrong and we end up better than 9-7, which I believe is "possible" but not "probable."  Still in rebuild mold, but I 100% believe we will improve this year.

[bwygant]

I can see us going 10-6 if we can split with the jags this year. 

[RollerColt]

The team is young and will make mistakes. That said, we will still win more games than some expect. 

 

It really depends on how the team gels and how long it will take for Andrew to shake off the rust. 

[lollygagger8]

This is difficult for me because I'm optimistic, but I'm also a realist. 

[Fisticuffs111]

I voted 7-9 wins but I won't be surprised if we don't reach that. Especially if we suffer from injuries. 

[csmopar]

16-0, Superbowl Champs, in the AFCCG, at LOS, we curb stomp the Patriots, 91-0.

If that happens, I will buy you a drink my friend. Heck, I'll buy you a drink if we end up Superbowl Champs without any of the other parameters!

Ya back to earth.

[stitches]

My prediction is 7-9 ... The roster and defense are just too young and inexperienced, but Luck is able to drag this team to wins.

you mean I can't turn the Madden difficulty settings to 1st grade level and win the Superbowl in real life?!

[ColtStrong2013]

Start fast and finish strong. If we do, 9 or 10 wins. If we don't 6 or 7. It's going to be a bumpy road, but I think we will compete more than ever. This could be one scrappy team that has everything to prove (including our franchise stud qb and rookie head coach/offensive coordinator/defensive coordinators)

[Trueman]

Jeez... I dunno, none of these games really seem particularly easy. Gone are the days where I'd look at the schedule and see automatic W's.

6-10 wins depending on how the kids progress, would be my guess.

[aaron11]

we are lucky the AFC is the weaker conference and we only have one game all year against a good NFC team

 

need to win our early home games against the Bengals and Texans before going on the road against the super bowl teams.  the first month or so probably determines if we hit the over or under 

 

 

[King Colt]

Maybe the games lost last year by only a few without #12 will go the other way with him.

[Flash7]

I was in the 7-9 to 9-7 camp, but it appears that this is a year to let the young guys learn and grow. Now I'm thinking about 6 wins.

   It is possible to be both. Since there are so many question marks on this team (players that could be good, if not great or be busts) believing the best is no less realistic than believing the worst.

   I say 10-6 is possible with an upset in Philadelphia.

[WarGhost21]

I'll say, depending on health and progression, anywhere from 3-13 to 12-4 is realistic. We are easily the most unpredictable team in the league IMO.

Ya pretty much. although I would be very happy if they won the super bowl but this team is nowhere near ready to do that just yet.

[Matabix]

We'll win games we aren't suppose to, but we will lose games were suppose to win. That's what a young talented roster does. We go in to NE and win by 2 touchdowns but lose opening day to Bengals by 3 touchdowns. Either wouldn't surprise me. Just excited about #12 back and what this defense can do.

we could go 1-15 and id be happy if we'd blow out the Patriots in that only win

We can go 0-16 as long as Tom Brady has a career ending injury against us 

[Myles]

The leading win total is not surprising at 7-9 wins.   The next highest being 10-12 wins is a bit surprising.   I thought it would be 4-6 wins.

same here. Somehow, I think everybody (including coaches) will just try to get traction and get the ball rolling early and we go 1 - 3.  Then we improve more than pour opponents and go 6 - 6  to finish 7-9. Hopefully, we get one  more than that and finish .500 ( 8 - 8 )

[shasta519]

I didn't mean to vote the bottom one...but I guess I can't change it.

 

I don't necessarily think they will be that bad (I really don't know)...but if it was between some solid player development, a top draft pick in next year's class...and having Luck carry them to 7-8 wins...I would take the former.

 

I really don't know what to expect though.

no thanks. I will never wish that on anyone, regardless of how much i hate them

[DougDew]

We'll be doing well to win 6.  

[Hoose]

Looking at the schedule, I can see the Colts starting 0-5. Not that I want that in the least, but the D will be green as the Irish hills and with so many young players, the growing pains will be real. Plus, I fear the offense is still a couple of key players away from gelling. RB is weak; WR even weaker. I see them going 6-5 the rest of the way, for a tough but realistic 6-10 record. I'd take 7-9, be very happy with 8-8, and thrilled at 9-7.

 

IMO, anything better than 6-10 would require some big time, better than expected growth from the youngsters, along with no key injuries. We'll see. Either way, I am excited to have Andrew back, and confident the team is headed in the right direction. 

[bananabucket]

I'd say 7-9.  If we were in NE's position in the AFC East, probably 10-6 lol.

[krunk]

9-7 to 10-6.  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[Four2itus]

Now I'm confused.....didn't Elliot Harrison say we would be the worst in the league? How are we ever going to get above 4 wins?

[Myles]

I'm impressed that there are 65 votes in just 5 hours that the pole had been up.   It looks like most of it is how people really feel with a bit of the home team optimism involved.    We know the 0-3 wins was an accidental pick.   I don't think the 13-16 win pick was serious either.  

[Coltsman1788]

If the Colts turn out to be as bad as their roster looks on paper then I could see a record of 6-10.   If Luck is able to elevate this mediocre roster they could win as many as 9 games, if all goes well.  I voted 7 to 9 wins.

I don’t think I would buy him a drink. I think we should buy what *he’s drinking  

[Mr.NotSoCreative]

Not feeling super optimistic. 6-10

[a06cc]

I’m all about the element of surprise. I voted 13-3 to 16-0. Anything is possible with a little bit of Luck! 

[Stephen]

19 and 0

I could see us being 2-0 by the time we hit the Philly game.  I have no fear of Cincy or Washington. If we get a good start like that I like our chances going forward. 1 game at a time.
