Man, the Colts schedule next season looks fucking br00tal.

Home: Houston, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit, New England
Away: Houston, Jacksonville, Tennessee, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Minnesota, San Diego

Don't bitch, you get to play the Texans twice.

 

[King Richard]

fyi, the Texans are a pretty good team, and will be easily be over .500 next season. You do remember the Colts play in the toughest division in football right?

 

[muzmaze]

Houston, Baltimore, Cleveland, Cinci, are all gimme's. Don't worry you'll probably have 13-14 wins as usual.

 

[The Ozzman]

Unless Cincy gets a better defense.

 

[seedofvengeance]

Cleveland went 10-6... Houston is getting better and they went 8-8 this year... Cincinnati has a great offense and is always dangerous...

Other than Baltimore, how are any of those games gimmes?

 

[seedofvengeance]

Don't bitch, you get to play the Texans twice.

Again, the Texans went 8-8, and are getting immensely better. They have a ferocious pass rush and are probably a good running back away from being contender, if they aren't already.
Did anyone here watch football last year?

 

[muzmaze]

I know, there are'nt any real gimme's in the NFL. Just would'nt really worry too much about those teams if I was a Colts fan. I hope they lose everyone, but I just don't see it.

Yeah, because we should take lessons on gimme games from a Pats fan right? I mean the Giants got the shit kicked out of them in the Super Bowl right? Oh wait...

 

[seedofvengeance]

I know, there are'nt any real gimme's in the NFL.

Unless you play the Dolphins or Ravens.

Obviously I did.

 

[seedofvengeance]

I was just aiming that at those gimme games that they were posting, that weren't any where near gimme games.

 

[muzmaze]

You don't have to tell me...never said the AFC east was tough.

KING D, are you really worried about those opponents? Seems like I have more confidence in your Colts than you do, or is that being too much of a homer or unobjective?

 

[King Richard]

Yeah, I'm a little worried about the majority of the teams the Colts play next year. However, it doesn't really matter as long as they are playing good in december going into the playoffs, and are healthy. That's all I really care about. Regular season record isn't as valuable to the Colts. They've proved to be one of the best regular season teams in history.

 

[muzmaze]

Yup, good in Dec, health and in turn-home field, thats a good recipe.
Did you get my post awhile back on the other Manning brother-who was very good in his own right. I think he had a degen. bone disease or something. Is he o.k now or what?

 

[King Richard]

I have no idea.

 

[Matt]

He was a WR in highschool with Peyton. He's fine, just can't play any sports.

 

[muzmaze]

I thought at one time he was as good if not better than Peyton or Eli, but then had to stop cause of med issues?

EDIT: got it Mathias, thanks.

 

[Matt]

I don't think he was "better" than Peyton...can't really compare a QB to WR

 

[muzmaze]

As much as it pains me that it happened, I wonder if any other brothers or even cousins etc have ever won back to back titles in thier respective sport?
