My brain tells me 6 wins, maybe 7.
My heart tells me they're either going to be blatantly worse than that or they'll win 11+. There will not be an in-between. We'll see. My expectations are minimal so I'm looking forward to the new regime's product and I'm okay with the growing pains. |

I mean let’s break down this schedule like this….
1. Lawrence 2. Stroud- rookie 3. Jackson 4. Stafford 5. Tannehill/ Levis- possible rookie 6. Lawrence again 7. Watson 8. Carr 9. Young- rookie 10. Jones 12. Mayfield 13. Tannehill/ Levi’s again 14. Burrow 15. Pickett 16. Ridder - redshirt sophomore 17. Jimmy G 18. Young again- rookie When I look at this I see 2 elite QBs and 6 games potentially vs a rookie. Then throw in the 9 home games and 7 road games basically since the pats game is neutral. Expectations are lower so nobody is expecting much from the colts so they’ll be underdogs in most games. They can play loose all year the pressure is off. |

Good catch though, Racehorse ...... I've been pretty much a one-trick pony with my pre-season optimism for the Colts, from the Andrew Luck years through the arrival of Anthony Richardson, and everywhere in between. The one exception in which I would have hedged my bets would have been the 2019 season when Andrew Luck shocked everybody with his abrupt retirement, which left us sitting with Jacoby Brissett as the unexpected starting quarterback for said season. o

Nor should he be, but you wouldn't believe that listening to some of the board's members talking about him.

But I tend to agree with the bold. With this roster, in the unlikely event he surprises everyone and is ahead of schedule, they'll do damage. But if he needs time like most expect... QB is just weighted too heavily in the NFL and we'll struggle. Seems like the most likely way we end up with a "meh" record is if Minshew plays most of the season. |

When you have a proverbial "Wildcard" quarterback (no pro experience, but talent and potential that is through the roof), the most important aspect of the team that is surrounding that Wildcard QB is the offensive line. If Anthony Richardson gets the offensive line that was blocking for a 39 year-old, immobile Philip Rivers in 2020, he will have to work really hard to screw things up. If Anthony Richardson gets the offensive line that was blocking for Matt Ryan in 2022 (ESPECIALLY in the first half of the season), it will very likely be a long, painful season for the team with the blue horseshoes on their helmets. o

We very well could have a top 5 pick next draft. That’s my prediction
