Default USA Today prediction

Holy shit.....this is harsh. Colts to go 5-11 while the Titans go 12-4 and the Patsies 16-0. I can only imagine they think Luck isn't playing?

I'm assuming that's the case. There's no way 5-11 happens with an even relatively healthy Luck.

Just a dumbass prediction. 16-0 for any team is stupid. And the Colts aren't going 5-11

I don't think that there is 1 national sports writer that knows a damn thing about the Colts!!!! Every last one of them are just interested in the Patsies, Cowgirls, Steelers or Packers!! Just a bunch of dumbasses!!

In other news.....Ballard just announced that Luck has started throwing! Hallelujah. Barring a setback he seems to be right on schedule.

Geathers starts the season on PUP. Will miss at least the first 6 weeks. (I didn't want to start another thread)

You really are not exaggerating and what you say is very true.

If you listen to the NATIONAL sports media shows, they will even admit it Certain teams get ratings. The teams you mentioned, plus the Giants. And occasionally the Jets. that's what they know and what they talk about constantly.

Its the media environment we live in. national shows and papers do not cover all the teams and have no intention of doing so. They offer up teams and items they know will get phone calls, hits, responses, whatever electronic BS measuring device they have, they don't care about it otherwise.

If you want to know about other teams you listen to local media. The national guys don't have a clue about the Colts, Panthers, Bengals, titans, any of these literally any more than we do. In fact for the division teams probably less than we do.

I happen to think the Colts will be better this year than last, assuming Luck is healthy. The secondary is better. The OL is improving. Hankins for the DL is a big signing. Yes there are still huge LB and pass rush questions, but they did not regress to the point where they are winning less than 8 games this season. They aren't going to be a deep playoff team, but they won't be finishing 4th in the AFC south
