The Colts could actually win the opener and some games in the first month even if Luck is out.

not saying they WILL do that, but even without Luck, the team SHOULD be able to go 2-3 or even 3-2 vs. the rams, Cardinals, browns, seahawks and 49ers.

But yes, Clappy Mcwoodchipper does nothing to improve those odds.

The Rams are a really bad team, I'm not convinced Goff is a better QB than Tolzien. Colts run the ball, get a couple turnovers and get out of there with the W

We're not sure about Goff... I'll give you that, but the Rams have had a good defense for awhile now.

They're offense was a joke under Jeff Fisher, so its gotta be addition by subtraction on that side of the ball. If they are able to put 24 points on the board, they'll be hard to beat with that defense imo.

Aaron Donald is holding out, so who knows with that situation.

Take a look at their roster. It's not what it used to be on the defensive side of the ball.

If we can't beat the Rams, it will be because we got out-coached once again, not because of any talent disparity.

I disagree. I think the Rams win due to talent and coaching disparity this week. The Rams will drop 30+ on the Colts D this week.

Cmon sean mcvay is not a better coach than Pagano, I see a similar gameplan vs the Rams that the Colts used vs the 49ers a couple years ago when they went out there and ran the ball down they're throat all game long

When did the Colt's get a running game that can run down any teams throat?

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Andrew Luck (shoulder) is likely to miss "several more weeks."
The good news is Luck is nearing the end of a strength-building program for his surgically repaired shoulder, and can "finally see the light at the end of the tunnel," per La Canfora. Unfortunately, Luck hasn't even resumed throwing yet and the Colts don't even have a timetable for Luck to resume practicing, although it's expected "sooner rather than later." Either way, fantasy owners who drafted Luck can't expect to have him for perhaps upwards of a month, if not more. All Colts skill-position players around him will be severely adversely affected in weekly box scores.

The Colts haven't been able to run the ball for the past 5 years, what makes you think that their going to start this week ???
