Group effort for sure. 

Yup. There literally always has to be safety help over the top. Let’s hope Blackmon has taken a step forward too. I’m assuming they’ll put Kenny Moore one on one with Lockett. They also drafted Dwayne Eskridge who is a speedster, so we really have to be careful. I like that out secondary is getting this test week one. It’ll tell us where we’re at because it was an up and down (and that’s being kind) unit last season.

I agree. Also I hope Rock has some good progression and stops being so handsy. Being aggressive and rerouting is good but he is bad about grabbing after he allows the release. He just needs to get more comfortable and get that initial hand on the WR earlier. We will see how this defense looks early for sure. No pressure upfront will allow Wilson to start the MVP talk early.

Another national game. Wow if this is true. That’s 4. Seems the nfl thinks they have some intrigue in how Wentz plays.

Yep. The main problem with RW, just like Mahomes is, you think you got him with a sack or "almost sack" and the next moment, he is scrambling and hitting someone on the run. The DL has to finish in a game like this. Seahawks have also added talent along their DL, and their D was coming along very well during the second half of the year. So, Wentz and company cannot put our D in a bad spot with any short fields.

I know Jets at home on TNF. At Baltimore on MNF. At Arizona on Christmas Day. Which one is the fourth?

 

Never mind: You posted it above, at 49ers on SNF.

We are back locked and loaded and the league knows it.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I think we can thank Wentz for the prime time games if correct. The league is going to be very interested in how he rebounds.

What do you mean? Serious question cause I’m curious 

[Indyfan4life]

Four prime time games is really good, but would be nice if it wasn’t just a TNF game at home.

It’s obvious the league views us as contenders.  That’s why we are getting these prime time games.  They want meaningful and entertaining games on prime time.  It’s always packed with the better teams.  They view us as one of those teams.

For some reason I read it it as back-locked instead of back, lock & loaded  thanks for clearing it up!

This would make it 23 out of 31 prime time away games since Peyton left wont it!???

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Looks like all our prime time games are going to be on the road except for the Thursday night game.

I;m a bit surprise no prime time for the Bucs game

We really don’t even know if the SF game is correct yet. The others seem pretty much confirmed.

Peyton sold himself better than any QB we have had, IMO. That beyond the field self-deprecating appeal plus what he brought to the table on the field were ratings gold.   So that resulted in more home prime time games for us too.

[EastStreet]

so far. 9 i've seen

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Four prime time games. I like the late bye week too. Right at the end of the season.

 

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

The pats game could turn into a 5th prime time game.

If you live in Indy you get to see all the games

 

In Texas, I LOVE to have national games, I hit the bar to see the non TV games which is most weeks

 

And..... it gives the Colts a MUCH larger audience to build a fan base

There’s our one prime time game for the year, folks. Hope you like the Jets on a Thursday night, because you ain’t getting anything else! 

Wrong 

[Dingus McGirt]

Wow.  Long season before the bye.

 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

What do you guys think of having a bye that late. Seems players like to have a mid season break but that could be beneficial having it so late heading into the playoffs. It sucks the prime time games are on the road but it’s improvement and we still could get the pats game in prime time. 
 

The opening 5 games is very tough. We will need to win the home games. Then need to beat Titans and Dolphins on the road.

[DaColts85]

The first 9 games will tell a lot about this team. Good schedule and hopefully Fisher is playing by week 6

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

 

[John Hammonds]

Prediction:  11-5, starting the season 1-4

 

[IndyEric07]

Playing the Titans twice the first 8 games of the season, Colts need to win atleast 1 of those! I think its a good thing we dont have to play them late in the season! The 3 away games early on will be a tough stretch! 

[DaColts85]

They would be 11-6 or 12-5. 17 games now. 

[Colts1324]

Wow. That is a crazy hard start to the season. One of the harder schedules in the leagues. 7 of the first 8 games are against legit playoff contenders. 

[Colts1324]

If we go 1-4, I expect us to go 10-7. I doubt we only lose one to Buffalo, Tampa, Arizona, Tennessee, NE, Tennessee, and LVR.

Be more clear.  I have no idea what you’re trying to say. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

It’s time to prove it. No excuses on who we play. The only chance of a bad weather game from cold or snow is Buffalo right before thanksgiving.

[JediXMan]

Might be the minority but I like the tough start to the season depending on if we at least spilt with the Titans and dominate the Jags and Texans.

Party, meet pooper.

[coming on strong]

i believe we are a good team ....... but looking at the schedule its gonna be so hard making the playoffs we have about ten games against very good playoff teams and then 3 against bubble teams  add in jets and jags huge QB upgrades . every game except texans without deshaun is a hard game

I agree, honestly theres a greater chance for a fluke in there to get some wins
