Of course, you don’t.

[Dark Superman]

7 wins.

[GRUMPY OLD MAN]

top 5 pick in next draft

 

[BlackTiger]

I need to see the pre season first.  I cant imagine a winning season if we are starting Minshew most of the year

 

Anthony probably still needs some time, how much time will determine the season 

[chickenMan]

I have 6-11. Wins over Tennessee at home, sweep the Texans, beat Falcons, Pats, and Raiders. The rest are respectable losses, with the only blowout loss coming against this year’s Super Bowl champion Cincinnati Bengals. A respectable year with solid defense, a return to form for JT, and promising upside and some flash from AR.

I have 8-8-1 - 2nd in division play only behind Jacks. I think Tennessee and Houston both are 7 win teams (early projection). Jacks probably 10-7. My uncle who is a huge Tennessee fan told me Derrick Henry needs to get out of there before he starts going downhill/totally used up. He says they will never win anything with the QB's they have. To him, winning something is winning the AFC or SB. They did make the AFC Title Game with Tannehill (2019) but we all knew he wasn't beating Mahomes, that was that teams ceiling. Henry carried that team during those playoffs. To me Tannehill is average, not bad but will never get you to a SB. Levis is going to be really interesting to see how that plays out. My uncle wanted Hendon Hooker, he thinks Levis is going to be a bust. I tend to agree. Derrick Henry is going to be in the Hall of Fame after he retires but career wasted because that team has no grasp on getting the right QB.

Adam Rank at NFL.com predicts 3-14 for the Colts.  I think they will do better than that. 

If they finish 3-14 against that schedule, then time to pull up the tent and fire everyone from Irsay to the equipment manager because something is seriously wrong with the DNA make up of this team

There is no way in hell we go 3-14. I don't think some of these guys take into account Taylor and Leonard missed the whole season. Taylor close enough - in the games he played he was injured. You have to realize outside of Indiana most of the media doesn't follow our team. They just see 4-12-1 and a rookie QB so they say 3-14 without 0 of knowledge of our team or circumstances that took place in 2022.

I will bet Adam Rank anything he wants that we win more than 3 games. I would bet he would not bet me.

2006….  You’ve made a number of good points in this thread.    
 

And to add to them,  I honestly think Rank made his prediction with a bit of trying to do Indy a favor.   Another bad year giving the Colts another very high pick and all the good the Colts can do with that.   I think you’re right that I don’t think Rank would buy what he himself was selling.  I think he knows the Colts should be better than that, perhaps much better.

I hate losing but I would love to be able to draft Marvin Harrison Jr. By the way I noticed you were gone for a while, glad you are back. If you hadn't posted for another week, I would have been asking about you . It is slow in here anyway and good to get away for a week or 2.

I agree with you except for maybe the jags. They ended up in first in the south last year by default. The titans & colts imploded and won a total of maybe like one game or so in the second half of season.....someone had to end up in first place. They barely squeaked by titans with a third string QB they got off the streets. Knowing the jags organization I'm thinking last year they reached their pinnacle for awhile and may degress  to what their past history is. 

 

I think 2023 will be the texans/colts turn to have decent seasons in a weak and winnable division.

I think we go 11-5 this season if the top players stay healthy. 

I love your enthusiasm!

 

I am a bit less optimistic with a rookie QB

 

I like your numbers, but would reverse them

 

5 wins  12 losses  - I think the number you are looking for is 17 games

[holeymoley99]

Ill stick with my 10-7 from back then.

I put 8 wins. That's really not that tough of a schedule imo. Bengals will be the hardest team to beat from a talent standpoint. NE and Pittsburgh are teams we always struggle with. Jags are the team to beat in the division. We could mess around and slip into a decent season. Could fall flat on our faces.

This is fun to look at but I hope I'm wrong by two games lol. Yay we beat NE and Pitt. Boo we got swept by the Jags. I'd say we slipped into the decent season.

[husker61]

A lot of these predictions are based on Leonard and Taylor being the players they were before the injuries. If people knew they would be zeroes this year nobody would have thought the colts would have done as good as they have this year. Maybe the gm has done a lot better job building a team than a lot here think! 

[2006Coltsbestever]

All I know is, before the season I picked the Colts to go 8-8-1. So to  the genius' that picked us to win 3 or 4 games, step right up - you are the next contestants on the Price is Wrong .

[chad72]

Let’s see how we all fared  

[holeymoley99]

I think my 10-7 comes in, confident this week.....
