Colts thank the NFL for the Weakest Schedule

Posted on | October 10, 2005 | No Comments

At 5-0, I hope Indy gets the critics the Chargers got last year. Honestly… look a the teams they have defeated so far. Ravens (1-3), Jaguars (3-2), Browns(2-2), Titans (2-3) and the 49ers (1-4). So far only 1 team with a winning record. Their next four games St. Louis (2-3), Houston (0-4), New England (3-2), Houston (0-4), only 1 team has a winning record there as well!

I hopy Dungy is pleased with the scheduling the Colts recieved. Perhaps the NFL felts sorry for their annual playoff losses and tipped the schedule in their favor. Don’t get me wrong, they do play some great teams Pats, Steelers, Chargers and dare I say… the Bengals… but they all are in the second 1/2 of the season (Pats are in week 9, but the Colts are coming off a bye that week, so it counts). They are also playing arguably last years weakest NFC division the NFC West.

I give their defense credit. They are performing a lot better then last year, and it looks like Peyton is staring to get back in his grove. It should be interesting to see how the season winds down for them. I would expcet them to clinch their division and playoff birth before any other AFC team at this point.
