Schedule is making things ugly Freaks
 

I don't like the chances @ PHI or @ NE, but other than that, who knows with Luck and a revamped defense? I'd give the Colts better than a puncher's chance in all the other games.

Week 01 - vs CIN / 1pm / 7-9 /
Week 02 - @ WAS / 1pm / 7 - 9 /
Week 03 - @ PHI / 1pm / 13-3 / Loss
Week 04 - vs HOU 1pm / 4 - 12 /
Week 05 - @ NE / TNF / 13 - 3 / Loss
Week 06 - @ NYJ / 1pm / 5 - 11 /
Week 07 - vs BUF / 1pm / 9 - 7 /
Week 08 - @ OAK / 4pm / 6 - 10 /
Week 09 - BYE WEEK
Week 10 - vs JAX / 1pm / 10 - 6 /
Week 11 - vs TEN / 1pm / 9 - 7 /
Week 12 - vs MIA / 1pm / 6 - 10 /
Week 13 - @ JAX / 1pm / 10 - 6 /
Week 14 - @ HOU / 1pm / 4 - 12 /
Week 15 - vs DAL / 1pm / 9 - 7 /
Week 16 - vs NYG / TBD / 3 - 13 /
Week 17 - @ TEN / 1pm / 9 - 7 /

I agree. The only 2 games that I immediately put "LOSS" next to are PHI and NE.

Divisional games are alwasy a toss-up because....well, they are divisional games. Other than JAX and TEN, the only other teams we play this season that had winning records in 2017 are DAL (9-7) and BUF (9-7); both only 1 game over 0.500.

With a healthy Andrew Luck, a new offensive systems that is of this century, and a defense bostered by the return of Hooker, Simon and hopefully most of our draft class, we should be competitive against everyone on our schedule not named NE and PHI.

Not saying that we will go 14-2 but a return to double digit wins is not out of the question. Luck evens the playing field a TON.

Walk Worthy,

I looked at the schedule somewhat optimistically and the best I came up with is 9 and 7. Trading down once again seems more appealing to me now.

4 out of 5 (and 5 of 7) road games from week 2 until the bye week :eek:

Agreed, people underestimate what a healthy Andrew Luck can bring to the team.

And any semblance of a pass rush.

No guarantee yet that we will have either this season.

And no guarantee they'll have Luck, either.

At NE on TNF seems like a bad deal, but maybe a revamped and angry team might pull off a shocker. I would immensely enjoy that.
