BobSaccamanno Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I love football as much as anyone. But the way people are freaking out over the schedule just hours before it’s released is straight up bonkers. Fake Twitter accounts, leaks, total frenzy. The NFL is turning this into a circus which they want of course. Sit tight for like six hours people, you can see it lol. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btownqb Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 I'll take the worst team on our schedule every year week 1. especially with all our newness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are at full strength, the opponent's playbook is a mystery, weaknesses have not identified on film, home-field emotion. Teams are more likely to lose against an inferior opponent on Week 1 than any other week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are walking into a season with a new QB, WR2, DE, CB1, DC, etc. We got exactly who we wanted week 1. Go whoop up on Hou and Jax the first two weeks, correct mistakes, and get ready for the Chiefs week 3. The idea isn't to beat Hou and Jax... if we cant beat them, we aren't any good anyway. The idea is to be as good as you possibly can be vs the top teams. Two warm ups games should do that. Week 3 in Indy will be bumping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 And actually... teams are by no means full strength week 1. The Colts weren't full strength until week 4 this past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 When we have "new" teams... we want easier games early on. When we had Peyton or Luck... who gives a shit. Give us anyone. This team needs to find itself weeks 1+2, no better chance to do that then vs. Jax and Hou. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 With the Colts it doesn't matter who we start with since we haven't won an opener since 2013. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You open up against the Chiefs and that might a game you lose anyway. Open up against the Texans and you could lose a game you should have won. That's a game in the standings you can't get back.

Seeking6 Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 Bears 7-5 headed into Week 13. Will fade after that. PS....Colts finally get MNF not once but twice. Guess the hotel/convention business stepped aside for the NFL/Colts to allow this. First time I can remember hosting here in town. Plus two other primetime games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted May 13, 2022 Report Share Posted May 13, 2022 NFL schedule… yawn. So sick of the supposed “importance “ of whatever “The Shield” deems as relevant. Really detest Goodell and starting to feel the same way about the NFL as I do about the NBA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the ultimate result of both those games, I might as well get th he Chiefs loss out of the way. Let's ask it this way. Do the Colts have a better chance beating the Chiefs Week 1 or Week 3? Hard to say. However, do the Colts have a better chance to lose to the Texans Week 1 or Week 3? I can comfortably say that would be Week 1, barring an injury to a critical player.
