[Racehorse]

Week 1: vs Ravens W (Ravens are a mess with a new coach, so we catch a break getting them this early)
Week 2: @ Chiefs (SNF) W (Mahomo not fully himself, another break)
Week 3: vs Texans W (Texans OL is garbage, and Stroud is not very good)
Week 4: @ Commanders (London) W (I really don't know what to think of the Commanders)
Week 5: @ Steelers W Aging Rodgers will not finish the season, so why not let this be his last game?)
Week 6: vs Titans W (It is the Tacks. Nuff said)
Week 7: @ Vikings W (Vikings should have kept Darnold)
Week 8: @ Jaguars L (It's in Fagsonville)
Week 9: vs Cowboys W (Cowboys are not very good)
Week 10: vs Dolphins W (Dolphins are tanking)
Week 11: @ Texans (TNF) L (Road game on a short week)
Week 12: vs Giants W (Giants are the Giants, for better or worse. Could go either way)
Week 13: @ Eagles L (depends on if Brown is traded)
Week 14: BYE
Week 15: @ Titans W (Tacks suck)
Week 16: vs Bengals L (Burrow is the real deal)
Week 17: @ Browns W (Do they even have a QB?)
Week 18: vs Jaguars[/QUOTE] W (We avenge earlier loss to go 4-2 in AFCS)

13-4, but we know we will lose one we shouldn't.

Will our beloved Colts make the playoffs this season for the first time since 2020 ???



Are the Colts One of the Most Likely Teams to End Their Playoff Drought ???

(By Jake Arthur)

https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/col...layoff-drought



The Indianapolis Colts seemingly used to be able to secure their playoff spot at the start of each regular season, but have since failed to make the tournament since the 2020 season.

It's the 3rd-longest drought in the NFL, trailing only the Atlanta Falcons (2017) and New York Jets (2010.)

For much of 2025, it appeared that the Colts' streak would end. At 8-2 entering their bye week, most models gave the Colts a 90-plus-% chance of making the playoffs, with some nearing 100% certainty.

With quarterback Daniel Jones' health waning, first with a fractured left fibula that he played with through 2 full games before a right Achilles injury ended his season, the Colts' season took a nosedive. They lost their final 7 games to finish at 8-9, which was 3rd in the AFC South and 8th in the AFC.

Will the Colts finally reverse their fortunes in 2026, and return to the post-season ??? NFL.com's Jeremy Bergman gives them the 3rd-best odds among teams with long playoff lapses.

"The Colts live in purgatory, hovering around 8-9 or 9-8 every season, no matter who's under center or how recently they were retired," Bergman wrote. "The question at quarterback isn't who will be the starter, but how healthy he will be, as the newly extended Daniel Jones returns from his leg injury to the QB1 role.

"With a .465 strength of schedule (Tied for 28th in NFL), the Colts are in a good position to challenge once again for the AFC South title. A lighter back half of the schedule gives Indianapolis a break after last year's 2nd-half collapse (7 straight losses after an 8-2 start.) But as with the first 3 seasons of the Shane Steichen era, there is always the possibility that the Colts once again won't get over the hump."

On paper, the Colts' roster is good enough to win on any week. However, their biggest X-factor is health. Not only is Jones returning, but so are defensive tackle DeForest Buckner and cornerbacks Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward.

Offensively, Jones began to master head coach Shane Steichen's system and often picked defenses apart, peppering them with big plays. While Jones' physical presence may not be what it was in 2025, he's mentally more entrenched in Steichen's system.

Aiding Jones should be Jonathan Taylor and a strong run-game, with an offensive line that returns 4 of their 5 starters from that 2025 season. The 5th starter and only newcomer, right tackle Jalen Travis, started the final 4 games of last season as a rookie.

The health of the defense is the most significant question outside of Jones. Gardner and Ward guarding the boundaries should give the defensive line more time to get to quarterbacks, and force throws over the middle of the field where ballhawks Cam Bynum and A.J. Haulcy await.

As Bergman mentioned, the schedule technically works out well for the Colts, who deal with one of the "easiest" slates in the NFL.

10-7

[Oldcolt]

If we stay healthy (almost impossible) we could win 10-11 games. But our QB, best wide receiver, best defensive player (Buckner) and one starting corner are dealing with big time injuries. Nobody knows if Buckner will even be able to play. Unlike a lot of you I think we have a completely untested back up situation that I have faith will not impress. We are counting on rookie mid round draft choices to be studs at linebacker. We have a coach who cannot make an adjustment in his game plan to save his life. I am hopeful this is the last year I need to suffer through this regime. Not looking forward to this year.
