Update Your Colts Ending Record Predictions

[Boss7894]

What do you think will happen and what is a realistic goal to you?  Perhaps we'll have a winning record?  

[jvan1973]

9-8

[Boss7894]

Let me add we're fans not players Players should go for it and try hard every week because that's what they get paid for!

10-7 still.  long way to go.  I don't cry and give up on my team after just 3 games.

I still got 10-7, 9-8 at worse. As long as Taylor stays healthy. 

[jbaron04]

If im being real with my self 6-11 or 7-10 if we keep throwing the ball the way we are 

[John Hammonds]

I had predicted 10 wins before the season started.

 

UPDATE - max 7 wins.

Bears, 2x Titans, Giants, 2x Jags, Dolphins.  maybe.

[Old Colt]

6 - 11....   if we get better

[Hark]

Still at 10-7

[Solid84]

I still think 8-9 is possible. There's going to be a bad stretch from week 8 to 12 though: @Texans, @Vikings, Bills, @Jets, Lions.

 

I do think we have a decent shot at going 3-1 or 4-0 after the bye week.

Somewhere between 1-16 wins. 

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

4-13

[runthepost]

6-11 or 7-10. Depending on how the Steelers game go I might change it. 

[cdgacoltsfan]

0-17

[chad72]

7 to 10 win range was what I had, and I am sticking to the range.

[indyagent17]

I’m pretty sure I had 10-7 and I hope someone pulls AR aside and shows him what “touch” is. I’m pretty sure that Bean or Slovis could tell him how to do that.

[hoosierhawk]

From 9-8 to 7-10

[richard pallo]

11-6

15-2 (just joking) but I will stick with 10-7 as that was my before season pick.

[Yoshinator]

6-7 wins. Richardson is a big problem right now, and I honestly don't know whether he is the main problem with his accuracy and touch, or if Steichen is ruining him with the way he's trying to use him as a pocket passer. I think it's a combination of both. We're becoming a bit unlucky on injuries quickly after the Bears game.

 

I think the problem is multi-faceted, and I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. So much has to go right for us to make the playoffs, and the only player I really have confidence in is Taylor. He can't carry AR every game though.

We are going to beat Pitt, they are due for a loss and AR won't play near as bad as he did on Sunday. We are at home too.

Pitt gave Bo Nix a lot of trouble and beat the Broncos 13-6. I'd say AR is about as inexperienced as him in the NFL and 4 years less of college. Their fans travel well also. It'll be interesting to see what we can do Vs that defense. Justin Fields is better than I thought he'd be. I know Najae Harris will be playing hurt, hopefully we can stop their run game.

I think this is the game he starts to find his groove.

Bo Nix is good too, that is who the Vikings should have drafted, my guy Penix got snagged at 8. McCarthy has bust written all over him and already injured. McCarthy reminds me of AJ McCarron, benefitted from a great Line and running game in college. Luckily for @NFLfan, Sam is playing out of his rear lol.

 

I can't see AR playing any worse than he did Sunday. That is really the only stinker he has put up in his career. We at least have Taylor too.

[Patrick Miller]

3 wins.

10 or more if Flacco starts soon. 😜

1 win 16 losses we just dont have the game changers that our opponents do and our coaching is suspect

Tbh it really depends on if AR makes progress this year with his accuracy. If he makes strides…which I hope he does…The Colts might surprise everyone. If he struggles….which I expect…. We will be drafting in the top 5 next year. 

[smittywerb]

I think I said the floor was 7 wins and the ceiling was 10.  Right now, I’m leaning more towards the floor.  

[Hammer]

6-11...If AR's completion % remains around 50%, probably 4 or 5 wins.

11-6

[throwing BBZ]

 

  We are a ways away from figuring out how to play D together, and today I have every reason to believe AR is going to kill us by sailing big 3rd down (any) passes.  7 wins in this scenario would be a solid guesstimate.

 

 

[bluephantom87]

 

6 wins or 8-9 at best. This team doesn't have the luxury of last year's easy schedule in which the team benefited from only to finish ONE game above .500 and that was with a vet qb.

 

This meh at best defense led by the lackluster Gus Bradley as dc is littered with JAG type players (minus maybe 3) is not playoff caliber nor is it good enough to be the crutch of the team as AR navigates through his growing pains. 

 

So the bottom line IMO is that this Ballard built team will continue on its yearly non playoff run while Chris also adds to his mounting sub .500 record as gm but hey as usual in Ballard we trust!

[AwesomeAustin]

I see 7 good opportunities for wins on the schedule. I think this team will go 4-3 in those games. I think the go 2-5 in the others. So 7-10 is my prediction. Said from the beginning this is an inexperienced QB that will be rusty as he tries to learn the game. The run game is good enough to keep us in games but the defense probably isn’t. Double digit wins is possible but a lot would have to go right, including health.  I’ve always felt this is a sub .500 team this year.  Very young roster, bad DC and a QB that needs snaps is a lot to overcome. Playoffs are most likely not in the cards this year.  Thats ok.  

[shasta519]

I started with a range of 6-9 wins. And now we have some data...I think they will be on the lower end of that projection. 

 

MIA and MIN sort of flipped. I mean...I would hope they can beat MIA if they continue to start Thompson or Boyle.

 

So I will stick with 7-10, with 2-3 wins coming near the end of the season knocking them out of a top 10 pick lol

[NewColtsFan]

I started the season at 9-8.  
 

I now think the Colts go 8-9.
