Anyone saying 4-7 wins, I have to question their football knowledge. We have upgraded on paper, we were 11-5 last year with substantial injuries, and most of our tough games are at home. Silly to be putting this much stock into a preseason game. I careless what our preseason record is. As long as we are healthy on Sept 8th.

10-6

Whew. My 9 wins is above the "justification cut."

O-Line issues
DB health issues
LB quality issues
WR drops issues

Ok, there. I justified. We play very clever teams this year. My bet is they exploit those weaknesses.

Sloppy Colts lose 8th straight preseason game | Vigilant Sports

Does anyone doubt the Colts won't be fierce contenders?
Y'alluh bein' awful rough on our boys. We ain't gonna know
JACK about how they can REALLY play when the fire is
underneath 'em, and that happens when the REAL season starts.

Well we went 11- 5 last year with.
O-line issues (stays the same, maybe a slight drop, but there are two new starters)
DB Health issues (continues)
LB Quality issues (the lb have gotten a little better, not much)
HB Health issues (so far there healthy, not only that they look better)
DL Issues (there is still alot of work, but they got better)

Vick had 3 picks and the eagles got owned in there second pre-season game. I can bet you they will win over 10 games this year.

I can see us winning 12-14 games this year, but you are right if they play like they did the other day they will win 4. BUT we are not the saints of old...we dont have dumb headed coaches/players. On top of that there is a roster loaded with talent. There not going to go sit in a chair, there going to work there butts off.

I haven't seen anything that would make me think 4 wins or 14 wins. I don't use preseason to judge team performance. It's even hard to judge individual performance with game plans we will never use in the regular season. We played soft Cover 2 or Cover 3 the whole game against the Texans, which I seen GW use less than 5 percent of the plays in the regular season. Like I said, if it happens against the Packers like it did Sat night against the Texans, then I will start to worry. Colts have won like 4 preseason games in like the last ten years and they have been a pretty consistent team during that time.
