Any chances for a prime time game?

 

Texans 2x

Jags 2x

Titans 2x

Ravens

Steelers

Bengals

Browns

Jets

Raiders

Packers

Bears

Lions

Vikings

 

Ravens I'd say is our best bet. Very good Monday night game.

They say easiest projected schedule which means nothing. Teams that where 2 win teams last season are 11 win teams this year . Just using that as an example. So what does that mean. Now you have a tough schedule. It's all crapola.

i can see why they said that.

 

games against jaguars, bears, lions, jets and Bengals 

The Jags are always tough on the Colts.  Division rivalry where the records go out the window.  Bears, Lions and Jets are not gimme games. Jets beat Colts last time they played and some thought that was going to be an easy win too. I will give you the Bengals.

If we win those 6 (sweep the Jags) games and just split with the Titans and Texans we would have 8 wins alone right there.

When was the last time the Colts swept Jax?  It’s been awhile.  We’d have a better chance to sweep Tennessee.  Lol

I have us at least 10-6.


yeah definitely. I feel Rivers will have one of the best years of his career this season. And possibly one of the best runs of his career over the next couple seasons. He’s gonna have probably the best OL he’s ever had. He had a terrible OL the last couple years with the chargers. He gets rid of the ball quick anyway. Playing behind this OL which is possibly the best in the NFL he’s gonna have a field day. Then you give him a pair of RB’s like we have in Mack and Taylor, and an all around weapon in Hines, TE’s like Doyle and Burton, and a receiving corps of Pittman, TY, Campbell, Pascall, and whoever else makes it as our 5 or 6. I mean this offense is loaded. Rivers is in a position to put up some big time numbers and have a monster year. To quote Bart Scott.....CANT WAIT !!!!

I really getting sick and tired of losing to the Steelers, to include games we should win.

Last years Vinatieri missed FG loss at the end of the game.  Has significant negative playoff implications for us.

Nick Harper's fumble return fiasco, should have taken it outside

Harbaugh to Aaron Bailey almost last second TD catch.  Q Coryatt could have intercepted and return for a TD to seal the game, 

Just saying and letting off steam.  

Lets kick some Steeler but this year and from now on.  Its a new era.

Back to the schedule, we play who they say we play, and we need beat those put in front of us.

I've never put much into this schedule evaluations.  Just play the game in front of you and focus on that.  If we play each game, each week and remain focused there, the rest will take care of itself.  Let the pundits write what they want, just play the game.

No schedule is "easy", but getting the Jets and Raiders for the 3rd place divisional finish is nice.

The AFC North will be tough.  The NFC North should be easier than the NFC West or NFC South.

We seem to have a thing when playing the Jets... I call it the Joe Namath curse...

They just signed Gore, so hopefully he doesn't hold any ill feelings.  Ha ha.

I won't  give us the Bengals. Burrow  and Higgins  should make them interesting

Ughhhhh Pittsburgh on the schedule again? Good grief. They could have a team full of high school players and somehow find a way to beat us. We’ve lost like 6 straight to them 

To be fair if Brissett  didn't  get hurt we probably  would have beat them last year. Hoyer threw the pick 6 to Fitzpatrick  which ultimately lost the game

    • As a Ballard type player, he seems to fit the bill.  Big 10. Excels at zone coverage. Good tackler. etc. Colts may be able to trade back, and still land DeJean   Considered one of the Safest picks. Seven 2024 NFL Draft Prospects Who Are Safest Bets to Succeed at Next Level https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10113875-7-2024-nfl-draft-prospects-who-are-safest-bets-to-succeed-at-next-level   DB Cooper DeJean, Iowa   A fractured fibula during a November practice tempered any excitement regarding Cooper DeJean's draft status. So he's not been in the same conversations as the class' top defensive backs, specifically Toledo's Quinyon Mitchell and Alabama's Terrion Arnold. DeJean's profile projects just as well or better than the aforementioned cornerbacks.   Three specific attributes set DeJean's floor higher than anyone else among the back end.   First, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Back of the Year presents the positional flexibility and traits to start at cornerback or safety at the professional level, with B/R's Cory Giddings highlighting his coverage skills:   "DeJean excels in zone coverage, but he's versatile enough to play man as well. He shows a smooth backpedal and the ability to keep his leverage and quick footwork with few wasted steps. Although he transitions well, there are times where DeJean hops into his breaks; allowing a step of separation.   "When in zone, DeJean does a great job of reading and reacting to the quarterback's eyes. Pairing that skill set with his route recognition, he often puts himself in good position with leverage and positioning.   "While working downfield, DeJean has the strength necessary to hand-fight with tight ends and bigger receivers, as well as the speed necessary to carry twitchier receivers downfield. He also does a very good job of locating the ball and playing through the catch point."   Second, the high school track standout is an elite athlete who captured Iowa state titles in the long jump and 100-meter dash. Many expected him to blow the doors off Lucas Oil Stadium. Unfortunately, he wasn't ready to test in Indianapolis after being cleared a few weeks earlier.   "His acceleration is incredibly fluid and super powerful," NFL combine trainer Jordan Luallen told The Athletic's Bruce Feldman last summer. "He's the best athlete I've seen in person, pound for pound."   Finally, DeJean adds significant value as an elite collegiate returner. Big Ten coaches also awarded him Return Specialist of the Year this past season. DeJean averaged 13.1 yards per punt return over the last two seasons. A top-notch contributor anywhere along the defensive backfield and on special teams will provide excellent value in the NFL.   Potential Landing Spots: Indianapolis Colts, Philadelphia Eagles    
    • He could, but I think he's way more athletic than people give him credit for and projects way better as CB. Definitely could be a good safety, but I think if we drafted him, he fits well as a boundary corner for us.
    • I think we need to sign a vet, but Jackson isn't it. Age and his dirty playstyle are non-starters for me.   JuJu definitely flashed pretty well in the limited games we saw him in. If he's healthy, I think he'll be a solid CB for us.   He dominated every WR at the Senior Bowl, specifically in drills that heavily skew towards WRs, often using techniques he was just really learning in the pro-bowl practices (mainly press man techniques). He dominated in the MAC and dominated at Senior Bowl practices, and with his athletic traits, he projects very well to the NFL. I see him being a dominant CB in the near future. I don't necessarily want to take a CB at 15, but I wouldn't be mad if we took Mitchell.
    • There are quite a few articles on the internet that say he may transition to safety in the NFL. Interesting reads
    • He could feel that he needs Paye to develop into a more complete edge rusher. He keeps promoting that he was great as a run defender, but needs to continue improving. He invested a 1st on him, so he could very well want to retain him. My thought on drafting an edge rusher at 15 is that it works as a hedge in the event you don’t retain Paye or if the player shows far more promise than Paye moving forward. My comment about Pierce is that he invested a good draft pick on him- so the argument could be made that had Pittman walked, he would have Pierce (although we all agree that Pierce hasn’t performed like we hoped, nor would he be a wr1 by any means). He would have options this draft had Pittman not worked out.   The idea was more behind longterm planning when Pierce was drafted. Keep them coming in the pipeline so that you have options, and ideally good ones. Remember when Phillip dorsett was drafted? Many thought at the time the idea was to add to the room and hedge in the event TY walked when his contract was up. I’m not opposed to looking at stacking premium position players in the 1st round. That provides depth at the position short term and options longterm. It lessens the burden on a 1st round rookie at those positions, giving them time to develop.
