Quote:The Colts were average statistically across the board. They had the 15th ranked offense and 20th ranked defense in the NFL and they certainly haven't made much improvements over the off-season. 

 

Defining beatable? Hard to set a definition, every team is beatable and upsets do happen. That's the nature of the game. I simply don't see anything to be afraid of from the Colts. Andrew Luck is a very good QB, but he hasn't hit that elite range, and their defense isn't anything to write 

 

Please note my prediction was 7-9, however. I do not think Jacksonville is capable of winning the division or making a wild card, but I do think they will be competitive because I feel they are making better strides in improvement than their division rivals are, and I don't see much of a reason to write this team off from pulling an upset or two.

Statistically, there is only one category that matters at the end of the day, wins.  The Colts were 11-5, considerably better than average.

 

Yes, upsets do happen occasionally.  If you employ that definition, than every team is beatable and the word no longer has any significance.

Andrew Luck is very good.  I wouldn't put him in the elite category at this time, but I doubt he's maxed out his potential quite yet.  He's only going to get better.

 

Pulling off an upset is great, but to capitalize on it, the team can't give away any easy ones either. 

 

7-9 maybe.  I still think 9-7 is  dreaming.
