Quote:The colts are already behind the 8 ball because they don't have a key pick that would be required to really help them improve.  That organization is a mess right now with the boneheaded decision to trade away their 1st round pick for an underachieving running back.  Their owner fancies himself to be some sort of bumpkin version of Tony Montana. 

 

The colts are going to be a decent team this year because they've got talent.  But, they're not some unbeatable juggernaut that we can't possibly find a way to overcome.  I think Gus and his coaching staff are looking forward to that first home game vs. the colts in order to leave them branded and heading home with an L hung on them. 

 

They don't have a round 1 pick, but they have a young QB who is headed into elite territory.

 

I wish the Jaguars were good enough for me to feel hopeful, but I recall the beatings Manning gave the Jaguars with marginal talent around him. I don't see it changing against this incarnation of the colts until the Jaguars get a real QB.

 

Of course the games have to be played, and Luck could get injured. Anything is possible.
