That's the difference between Indy and some other run-first teams. I think Wentz CAN beat them.
The problem is his pass-catchers. Hilton's a corpse at this point and Pittman's banged up. They just don't have many weapons for him. Doyle and Pascal just don't bring much to the table. Parris Campbell is hurt and I'm not convinced he's worth a shit anyway. [Reply]

Indy just has to score more points than NE and with Kwity Paye, Odeyingbo, and Buckner plus the Colts linebackers Patriots will struggle to move the ball. [Reply]

With Robinson and Godwin as likely FAs this off-season (potentially Adams as well, though unlikely - figure he's tagged), the Colts are a veteran WR and another talented rookie pass-catcher away from being pretty dangerous.
There's a lot of talent on that defense, the OL is outstanding, the RB situation is sorted out and if Wentz can just stay healthy he's an average QB. They can really grab that division by the throat.
I just think they're a year away still. They can be tough this year but not enough to win anything meaningful, IMO. [Reply]

The issue for Indy is Wentz has 4-5 turnover worthy plays every game. The Patriots do not. Will be tough for Indy to win. [Reply]
I just did the ESPN playoff machine again, and I have the Bills and Ravens both missing the playoffs. That would be absolutely hilarious after the start to this season. [Reply]
