The 2008 Colts vs. the 2021 Colts

[Colts And Orioles]

(NOVEMBER 29th)


If the Colts win at least 4 out of their final 5 games to finish at either 10-7 or 11-6, I'll be thrilled.

If they don't, I'll be hoping that they will follow a similar route as the 2020 and 2021 Patriots ...... last year, the Patriots looked average-ish while playing out a league-wide COVID-affected season in which the pandemic played a part in hampering their starting quarterback in as many as 3 of their games (all of which were losses.) It was also their first season without all-time great QB Tom Brady. Now, after having had a year to adjust to life without Brady, the Patriots are an AFC juggernaut with a very real chance to win the AFC championship and make their first Tom Brady-less Super Bowl appearance since Bill Parcells and Drew Bledsoe led them there in 1996.

So perhaps the 2022 Colts, after having had Carson Wentz with a year of experience under his belt with his new team, will wind up looking a lot like the 2021 Patriots are looking.
